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.

The opening league fixture was postponed because Celtic Park is still on Commonwealth Games duty and the SPFL didn’t have the intellectual capacity to give us an away fixture on that day.
Nothing to do with a friendly v Spurs which is an earlier date.
Between you, all nine have been named.
Is there to be a winner takes all our is there to be an example of Deila teamwork?
Ninth one was mentioned earlier,so I won’t crib.
He was a major disappointment though.
And I’m sure he stole my doughnut and everyone else’s,fat git.

Rudi Vata is the other, here he is in Hun skelping action with one of the other Special V’s: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WN5lcQyRdzM

Viduka
Although he’s not my fave player Neymar has taken some abuse in this tourny.
LEFTCLICKTIC
For me,Viduka had more talent in his little finger than Henrik had in his whole body.
Complete lack of application v total dedication to his profession made the difference between a nonentity and a worldwide legend.
Strange,that…
Viduka even ………http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7N2GmpYXu8
I’m going to dish out the small baldy coconuts.
Antipodean Red, I’m docking you a point coz Van Zanten never played in the first team.
However, you still get a small baldy Costa Rican coconut as I never stipulated first team only.
Israeli police release a statement claiming the video is biased and edited.They claim to have a copy showing the Palestinian/American youth deliberately headbutting the policemans fist and boot.Lock him up I say.

Depends on the terms but I understand both he and the missus are well settled so wouldn’t take much .
Agree with the downsizing.
Our signings so far are a youth player and a 31 goalie who has not saved a shot in two years (or if you read the View, he has not conceded a goal in two years!)
made ne laugh there :}

The Term,,, “Down-Sizing” , in regards tae Celtic.. is a Complete..Misnomer.
Because..
In order tae..well.. Down-Size.. an entity must..well.. Diminish.. Grow Less… Shrink!
Right?
Don’t Bother tae answer that… fur it is Right.
Well.. Hiz Celtic.. well.. Shrunk?
Na.. Don’t be Daft.. Celtic, Hiv done the very Opposite..
They Hiv.. GROWN!
Celtic,ur the Present S.P.L. Champions.. n.. hiv bin.. fur the Past Three Seasons!
n…hiv Enjoyed further Enhancement of Their World Wide Reputation.. by Competing for the Hightest Honours in Europe…Presenently.. n for the Past several Seasons.
Celtic, hiv even.. Shown A Profit.. frum thur Success in EXPANDING thur Enterprise.
Noo.. Any Soccer Team, Nowadays.. Who kin Show a Healthy RESERVE Bank Balance.. n.. also, Enjoy .. a Robust..n.. Shining…n…
Debt Free Reputation, that hiz Bin Earned by dint of Meticulous n Prudent Stewardship.. such as Celtic PLC hiv done…
Is.. In No Shape nor Form..
DOWN-SIZING!
n .. Anybuddy who says that they ur..
Ur No Playing wi’ a Full Deck.. n.. therefore
should Be Pitied … Not Scolded.. fur They are severely Intellectually Challenged.

Enjoy Austria it is a lovely country and believe it or not the Austrians are nice folk,
*over here there’s a businessman called Frank Stronach, he landed here in 1954 with a handful of dollars, as a time served tool and die maker he set up his own company, he’s now worth $3.12 Billion CAN. The 19th wealthiest Canadian.
He has huge horse racing farms in Kentucky, Florida and Aurora.
He now spends his time between Oberwaltersdorf, Austria and Aurora, Ontario, where he rebuilt the local Catholic church.
Apart from horse racing he’s intae fitba and is the main sponsor of Austria Vienna and is a past president there.
A couple of years back when the deid team bought a few duds from them including the illustrious Sebo, bader disconcerted at the signings announced that he was going to send them back to Vienna and ask for his money back……how we laughed at that idea over here.
I could picture the bold Frank….”murray, murray, who the fck is murray.

Zheng Zhi – No Idea FC

IGC
Did Tony Mowbray sign him again ?
igc,
That will go with my baldy other part!
AR
I think Zheng Zhi came from an English Club.
Aye the big huddle-meister (as I want to remember him) signed him.
Kojo – I must be a can of Tennents short of a six pack coz in my wee head-space, we are downsizing! Maybe its just as well Ive only got five cans then.
Zheng Zhi was signed from Charlton,I think
