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.

Gearoid, thanks for that. Someone I know occasionally worked over there and he was telling me about that club’s dodgy benefactors.
Was it also in Portadown a nationalist was stomped on while they sung that bouncy bouncy guff and the polis didn’t intervene?
The e-tims twitter page has a photo of one of the brethren wearing a kkk outfit. I don’t know if it was from today’s cultural extravaganza or from a previous one.

Sftb,
Yer right.The game should have been finished long ago.
Costa Rica only hanging on.
Big fella has clattered the boy there, lucky to be still on..
no way was that a fk
How the feck is that a free kick, unbelievable scheisse
As a CF I’d piledrive that Robben steward
I’m really liking this Ronny Deila feller so far. All his changes have been characteristic of a leader and innovator, decisive and concentrating on the individual strengths of his lieutenants.
John Collins: Strong no. 2 dedicated to fitness. Disciple of possession football.
John Kennedy: standout youth coach, a bridge between 1st team squad and the youngsters. One for the future?
Jim McGuiness: support for the players where it’s often most needed- their motivation and mental approach to being a professional.
Then there’s Ronny himself, who every time expounds on his approach is impressive to say the least.
Very excited about the team and this 14/15 season.
PF…… right on
dallas, dallas,
Robert Hamill was the fella.Kicked to death by Loyalists as the RUC sat nearby.

Who could have predicted that CRC are 15 mins from a WC semi final.
come on the CRC
Have spent a lot of time in Costa Rica for work purposes, on both the Pacific and Caribbean sides. Love the place and it’s people.
Don’t think it was a Costa Rica penalty either, – Ref was correct, guy simulated.

Yes exactly – it applies at both ends.
And a wee hint for us pale, gingerish, light colored eyed lot: the Costa Rican ladies are…ahem, rather predisposed to our certain physical characteristics…

Entirely agree; however, Robben is a consistently extreme example.
