If you live long enough you get to hear or read just about everything. Today some in the old media are telling us Celtic and Rangers (sic) are both chasing a soon-to-be out of contract Manchester United player. The way it used to work is an agent would fly into Glasgow to see Celtic or Rangers, and make sure the other club had an option on the player their rivals were pursuing.
Anyone who thinks Newco can rival Celtic for a footballer had better consult their medication. The rules have all changed, in Glasgow, we stand alone.
Final shout for the ITUC’s 22nd minute Fifa protest tomorrow.
Today’s CQteN raffle winner, of a signed Celtic strip, is John McDonald, from table 36. If it’s the John McDonald I’ve just emailed, congratulations… If not, we’ll find you.
Today is World Down Syndrome Day. For too long those with Down’ have been stigmatised, shown a lack of human respect, or worse. The ‘does he take sugar’ days were not so long ago. World Down Syndrome Day is a about raising awareness and changing our perceptions.
Have to say I’m enjoying the Aberdeen fans’ ‘Peter Pawlett Baby’ campaign. Human League’s ‘Don’t you want me baby’ has flown up the charts on the back of delirious Aberdeen fans, celebrating their position as one of Scotland’s top two. Crazy stuff like this is how football clubs grow.
For all those who have supported Marys’ Meals over recent weeks and months, here’s a cheery video from them, with a little help from Pharrell Williams.
Seville – The Celtic Movement is another cheery wee thing.
“Somewhere around 5am and Glasgow airport is only open for Seville flights and is a sea of green and white. I’ve 80 Euros, my passport, boarding pass and a ticket in my shorts, Celtic top on, no baggage of any description. The happiest queue of all time has formed.”

Braw ………..
This old house is falling down around my ears
I’m drowning in a river of my tears
When all my will is gone you hold me sway
I need you at the dimming of the day
You pull me like the moon pulls on the tide
You know just where I keep my better side
What days have come to keep us far apart
A broken promise or a broken heart
Now all the bonnie birds have wheeled away
I need you at the dimming of the day
Come the night you’re only what I want
Come the night you could be my confident
I see you on the street in company
Why don’t you come and ease your mind with me
I’m living for the night we steal away
I need you at the dimming of the day
I need you at the dimming of the day
aye Braw
Martin42 would like to pass on his appreciation for all the kind and supportive comments last week. He’ll be on to say so himself shortly.
Hi guys. Important update, and sad news about my cousin Nicola who BRTH recently wrote about…
Nicola McCurry thanks community for their support on her journey fighting rare cancer
Cushendall girl Nicola McCurry (26) has thanked everyone who got involved and helped raise funds, which were to be used to send her to America for pioneering treatment for a rare form of cancer. However on learning that she is not suitable for the treatment, Nicola has thanked everyone for their good wishes and support and has asked that fundraising for the appeal now ceases.
Local people and clubs have raised over £40,000 so far and this money is to be held by the Neuroblastoma Children’s Cancer Alliance for use in any further treatment that may become available and to help with the fight against the disease.
Speaking from her home in Cushendall and surrounded by her family and friends Nicola said, ‘I have been overwhelmed by the love and support that I have received from so many people while I have been on this journey. I was diagnosed with this cancer in 1993 and while I spent a number of years in remission I learned in 2009 that it had returned. I am fighting hard to beat it and I am grateful to the specialists who are looking after me and who keep looking for new ways to treat it.
On learning that I am not suitable for further treatment I wanted to tell all the people who have fundraised for me and kept me in their thoughts and prayers that I am extremely touched and grateful for everything. The money that you raised will be used by the NCCA charity to help with the fight against this form of cancer. I remain hopeful that one day a cure will be found.’
Nicola’s family have also added their thanks to everyone who raised funds for the treatment.
Any money raised from events, which have been planned in the coming weeks, will still go to the “wee nic” appeal.

Sorry,mate-I was a tad busy yesterday and missed this. By a good few hours!
MAY 10 is slated for the dayooooot/hootenanny. As soon as the post-split fixtures come through,I’ll open the forum to venue suggestions.
I’m hoping we have a home lunchtime kickoff. And doubtless we’ll end up in a Gallowgate gutter anyway.
Hope to see ya there,mate!

I share your concerns and have seen some posters on here previously being branded, trouble makers and the like for pursuing the same or, similar lines of questioning.
Aberdeen have now demonstrated twice that, mark KC out the game and Celtic have no threat.
The management team watched LG last season and, could have had him for £500k !!!
Instead, the managers delayed for 6 months and, in the meantime blew £5 mill of Celtic fans money on Balde and Pukki ?
It’s enough to make you sick.
Re the Federico Macheda rumours, it reads to me as if the agaent is trying to engineer a move, wouldn’t touch it tbh oh and the Sevco 2012 couldnae buy a week of the players time :¬)
Ps happy Friday Celts.

A wee football question if you don’t mind ?
I don’t know the answer myself, that’s why I
came on here to see if some ‘esteemed’ tim
could help me out ?
Right, here goes……
Is it true that, The Original Holy Goalie, played in eleven Cup finals for Celtic
without losing any ?
As I said, I don’t know the answer but that is some record if true, eh ?
Catch yeez after…..
Great article Paul67,

‘Ernie I agree that the majority of Scots don’t know about our history in oppressing Ireland on our own or as part of the British empire.’
###
I’m more concerned about the anti Irish Catholic racism that to a greater or lesser extent permeates aspects of Scottish life.
The causes of that are entirely Scottish.
Paul67 – as a father of a wee girl with Down Syndrome I would like to thank you for doing your bit to raise awareness. I am very proud of the way Celtic has showed support for both the Thai Tims and the DSA.
Roisin would also like to say thanks https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BjPdaJuIcAAK-Iu.jpg:large

A player who has fallen from favour with a large club and is looking to be rehabilitated.
We’ve got one of those in Tony Watt. Bring him back,Machedo couldnae lace his boots.
Stay strong Nicola McCurry
Wee Oscars Army is behind you, with thoughts, prayers and love
Hail Hail
An additional creative attacking midfield player to KC is the only signing we need to make this summer, assuming no one leaves.
ole roofless hampdump was our underdog paradise
It’s only Wiki (Iknow, I know) :)))
“In the summer of 2005, Boruc joined Scottish Premier League side Celtic. In his five years in Glasgow, Boruc made 221 appearances for the club,[2] winning the Scottish Premier League three times, the Scottish Cup once and the Scottish League Cup twice”.
Thanks Pau67 for the shout out about World Downs Syndrome Day, here’s a link to a story about a little warrior bhoy who has Down Syndrome. Proud to call him my son

Just one other thing.
Don’t single out the Irish for their treatment of Jewish refugees, it makes it look like you have an issue with the Irish.
The truth is that at the Evian conference of 1938 the the UK and the USA (and France) decided as a matter of policy not to accept Jewish refugees.
That is sad news Knoxy2000.

I worked with kids like Roisin for a wee while in the mid-90s. They were brilliant!
Give her a wee extra hug from me,please.
Lovely bunnet!
Paul we may stand alone but as long as Campbell Ogilvie stands at the head of the SFA Celtic will never get a level playing field

Paul can I suggested an alternative title for your article.
Sein Fein.
Paul whilst your articles on FIFA are commendable we should not be distracted from the stench of corruption at the SFA
sincere condolences to Jim McGinley (BRTH) on the death of his father Pat

Very sorry to read your news about Nicola. May she have the strength to cope with her ordeal.
Paul 67 –
“Anyone who thinks Newco can rival Celtic for a footballer had better consult their medication. The rules have all changed, in Glasgow, we stand alone.”
Aye. File under ‘B’ for ‘Bonkers’ which is located somewhere between ‘Billionaire’ and Casino’…
Ernie – see if you go on the rangers sites, they are all saying ‘the anti-protestant racism that permeates Scottish life.’ Personally I have never witnessed either one in my life, and I don’t know anyone who has. Cue a torrent of people…….
I guess when someone lives their life in tribal terms, they will see or seek out what they regard as discrimination.
Personally I feel the only tribalism worth bothering about is the war being perpetrated by the 0.1% on the 99.9%, trying to reduce us to drone worker slaves.
Hah! as if “They” could afford an ex- Man U player!
as for “Seville” for those who haven’t bought or read it yet, go for it. Its a great read.
Im more than 2/3 through it now and really enjoying it. Had a few LOL moments too, the best so far – when I managed to wake my Mrs TTT last night with my laughing – was reading about “Mooney” and his caught short moment. Brilliant!
“Mooney” whomever you are, I can just imagine your mates on the floor laughing at you. Cheers mate.
HAIL! HAIL!

_______________________________________
Celtic don’t really need a level playing field in Scotland but All the other teams definitely do.
Jackie and Sid, I hope, will give them the most monumental of hidings, although I’d settle for a 1 nil. The Utd team is young and vibrant, inconsistent, aye, most definitely but that is to be expected. Sevco 1 – United 5 would make up for my one and only time at that place of hatred.

As with my reply about Roisin,a wee extra hug for Conor,please?
I wish all of you the best. I only saw the kids I worked with for about a quarter of the week.
I know how much I enjoyed it. But I also know of the strain the rest of the week can involve.
Somehow,I think you fellas and your families will cope fine….

Your daughter looks lovely buddy. I did actually mean to wear odd socks today but alas I broke a habit of a life time and managed to wear a matching pair instead :-) I worked with kids/young adults with Down’s syndrome when I was at college in my spare time at the college. They still bring a smile to my face each day I think about them and the amount of happiness and love they each had for life and those who cared for them and loved them.

Humblest apologies to TOHG:((
Hangsheadinshame.
Well done to everyone at CQN publications on Seville The Celtic Movement, I had intended to keep it for later but as soon as I opened it became compulsive . BRTH and the rest of the gang deserve a big congratulation on producing a book that captures the spirit of the Celtic support perfectly.
Well done and I’d thoroughly recommend it.
