Playing For The LostBhoys 2 – Season 2010/2011 “this isn’t the end, this is just the beginning” – Foreword by Tom Boyd
Playing For the LostBhoys 2, tells the story of Celtic’s turbulent Season 2010/2011 through the eyes of Supporters from all over the world.
Following on where last season’s book left off, the LostBhoys daily accounts of everything going on in the world of Celtic embrace this crazy season that was to unfold before our very eyes. As Neil Lennon took over the reins, new players were signed, misfits from the Tony Mowbray era were shipped out and the new regime began to grow legs.
However, with the team starting to gel on the field, and with football being played the Celtic way, incidents off the pitch began to become much more of a talking point than the action on it.
Grabbing all the headlines were the Club’s continued refusal to lie down to confrontations with referees, the press, other managers and the SFA. Physical and mental abuse towards our Manager and the Club seemed to be a regular occurrence as the team strived on the field to compete in a Championship that would go to the last day. This was a season of resistance and defiance as all aspects of the Club unified and refused to be treated unfairly by the “powers-to-be”. Equality was all that we asked for from the Institutions at the cornerstone of the Scottish game, yet it took court cases, forums and ultimately police interaction to bring the full nature of the problem to the fore.
This book tells the story of a season of discontent from the perspective of supporters who kick every ball with the team. Supporters, who stand up for, and speak out against injustices and prejudices against our Club and our fellow supporters.
The Thunder has come back to Celtic under Neil Lennon.
“this isn’t the end, this is just the beginning”.

Playing For The LostBhoys – Season 2009/2010
(this is currently on sale – Paperback 20% off, Hardback 15% off and the Digital Download a massive 40% off RRP)
This book chronicles the 2009/2010 topsy-turvy season of Celtic Football Club through the eyes of the LostBhoys, a group of fans who came together by setting up a website and producing a weekly podcast discussing their beloved Hoops.
Although, ultimately a disappointing season on and off the pitch for the Club, we hope you “enjoy” the good humoured articles and blogs of Chris, Jamie, Casey, Eddie, Harper, Charlie, Gary, Joe & Conall as they discussed all the games and everything else going on in the world of Celtic on a week by week basis.
As results went against the team, passions flowed and arguments raged over the manager’s position, team selections, player performances and the direction in which the Club was going. Hope soon turned to despair and optimism transpired to realism as the team limped to a trophyless season.
The LostBhoys hail (hail) from all corners of the globe, this is our story and your story as we laughed, cried, ranted and raved but never gave up on Celtic FC, the club we ALL love so much.
