The 10-in-a-Row CQN Charity Golf Day at Aberdour was a great success yesterday. The irrepressible Frank McGarvey spoke about his formative years in Easterhouse and beyond, with special mentions of his legendary first and last games for Celtic.
Len Murray returned six years after his previous appearance, and spoke with humour and authority, but most of all with a burning support for Celtic.
The event raised money for The Cookie Jar Foundation, founded in memory of 19-year-old Christopher Coutts, who died of Hodkin’s Lymphoma last year and for the work of Glasgow the Caring City.
Christopher Coutts’ father, David, demonstrated a vein finder. A vein finder is the size of a torch and has a light which shines on the arm and allows veins to be seen.
When Christopher was seriously ill medics often had trouble finding a vein for an injection, attempts were traumatic and distressing. Twice he left hospital without treatment because veins couldn’t be found. On a visit to a private hospital a doctor produced this torch-like device and identified a hydrated vein with ease, allowing treatment to take place.
The money we raise is going to buy these devices for NHS hospitals, where they are not provided for. They will not save or cure anyone, but they will make the treatment of acutely ill people less distressing and, on some occasions, possible.
You can help by bidding for this magnificent canvass, signed by Billy McNeill, one of only two made. You can also help by buying a raffle ticket for the other one. The ebay auction is available here. You enter the raffle by donating at least £1 here. Get involved, you’ll be pleased you did.
On the long drive home from Fife I heard Neymar had left the field writhing in agony after going down clutching his back, just as he did, while feigning, at Celtic Park last season. Forgive me for being cynical. Around 1am news came through of his broken vertebra, acquired from a dangerous foul. Let’s hope he makes a full recovery.

Was I reading too much into Weefras adios to CQN.
Sounded a wee bit too final for my liking. Hope I just got the wrong end of the stick.
That Costa Rica strip a bit like Clydebank’s.:-)
Cliftonville, is it true when Chic Charnley played for Portadown, the Reds fans were singing to him, you’re worse than Maurice Johnstone or words to that effect?
I’ve been told that the main benefactor of Portadown is a loyalist with a somewhat chequered past..
Clinko
thought that myself,was there anything earlier that had bothered him
Weefra, I hope it was just a night night from you.
Your positivity about our team will hopefully not be lost from here.
Robben is embarassing
Tri coloured
They get decent crowds. You can always add 6/7 hundred when they play Cliftonville as they treat it as a bigotfest.
Robben was fouled there but ffs ye think he was hit wae a double decker bus.
Costa rica strip, bit too like that Peru one for my liking
Tremendous freekick, unlucky Wesley..
Robbens theatrics are becoming more and more unacceptable.
Not suitable on a field of sport.
I wud love to see Big Bobo Balde give Robben somethin to cry about the mans a disgrace to football
I watched Argentina game in hotel room. Went oot for some Estrella Galicia and Rioja dried up with some food, came Back to hotel and couldn’t get fitba again.
Got 15 miles to walk in morning so gonna crash. Will watch highlights in morning.
HH and a big thanks to Gordon64 for his generous donation!
Yep, …… a veritable plonker

One of the Jamison brothers who sponsored P’down was shot dead in an internal UVF feud within their mid Ulster unit. It was alleged he was the “mainstream” UVF leader and was shot by Billy Wrights mob.

GerryBhoy
Good shout, smashing big player..
The wee full back is good too..
CC…Cliftonville away to Institute on Aug 16th.
One for the diary.
Class save Señor Navas…
I am again in the minority.
I think the Dutch have more flair and attack than the Ricans.
If it was not for Van Persie bringing his Man U form, this would be over by now.
setting free the bears supports Res. 12 & Oscar Knox
Aye they have but I just can’t help supporting the underdog!
Schneider is a great football player, love watching him..
Vy good save…but he looks in trouble now
Costa Rica are hanging on by the skin of the skin
of the wee bit skin of their teeth.
