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.

Meant to say I haven’t read the article yet and would hope your understanding of it is wrong, I’ve spoken with her on this subject and never has she expressed this.
Excellent programme on bbc2, re: Bannockburn.
Orangeman next door has a no to separation, whereas jtt has vote yes up across the road.
Thank f*** I’m off to Italy on Tuesday :)
No2 Daughter just off the phone ,she is down in Leeds for an induction day in her new job tomorrow and feeling a little lonely decided to find a church for mass.
Found Saint Anne’s Cathedral and says it is stunning,she was sitting in church early to take in the place when someone behind hers phone went off she turned her head to see a fhella in the Hoops panicking to get to his phone. :)))
It just makes you feel better that there is other Tims everywhere she said :))

ziggydoc1 –
His brother was the midfielder. He was freed last season.
I think Filip, still with Celtic is the midfielder and Patrik was a defender.

Ziggydoc1. Young Twardzik could make the left back slot his own for me he is a better defender than Izzy.However, Izzy,has the edge in attack but Izzy has a challenge on his hands.H.H.
Twardzik looks to have ability but seems a bit casual at times. I’d always thought he was playing out of position as in the left back or midfield question.
McGeoch is another who to me has a ability, but hasn’t really burst a gut with the chances he’s been offered yet. Hope they go on to be good players, but we seem to have a lot of players who still need to prove themselves.
Seagull puncher caught. . . Up before the beaks next week.

As regards ER – it should be obvious that the apple never falls far from the tree
Her old man – like many in the skilled trade unions in the yards had no time for Catholics
Always find it amusing that so many Tims get taken in by the old Jimmy Reid – great socialist
And man of the people routine!
He really was of the belief that they were the people -a guy who took money from both Maxwell and Murdoch -a guy who supported the deid Huns while they used a blatantly sectarian recruitment policy

Seagull OO evasion technique
Why did the seagull fly to Glasgow Green?
Because it was to far to walk.
Young Twardzik won the man of the match award on trophy day against Dundee Utd and look a great prospect at left back.
A man and his pet seagull walk into a bar. It’s about 5pm, but they’re ready for a good night of drinking.
They start off slowly, watching TV, drinking beer, eating peanuts. As the night goes on they move to mixed drinks, and then shooters, one after the other.
Finally, the bartender says: “Last call.”
So, the man says, “One more for me… and one more for my seagull.”
The bartender sets them up and they shoot them back. Suddenly, the seagull falls over dead.
The man throws some money on the bar, puts on his coat and starts to leave.
The bartender, yells: “Hey buddy, you can’t just leave that lyin’ there.”
To which the man replies: “That’s not a lion, that’s a seagull.”
Jail tern not expected.
I’d rather be a Seagull than a hun/zombie.
Oh yes I would.

I don’t dispute that bud, I take your word.
When I read the article it wasn’t apparent.
Did the seagull have the hoops on?
Poor bees must have had a hell of a time yesterday.
Filip Twardzik (born 10 February 1993) is a Czech footballer who currently plays as a central midfielder for Scottish Premiership club Celtic and the Czech Republic U19 national team.

Your ghirl is right, St Anne’s Leeds is a beautiful cathedral, esp on The Feast of Our Lady of Perpetual Succour.
Seagull’s behaviour was impeccable.
An Orc at the pictures notices what looks like a seagull sitting next to him.
“Are you a seagull?” asked the man, surprised.
“Yes.”
“What are you doing at the movies?”
The seagull replied, “Well, I liked the book.”
What Larks.

You must be an Ornothologist to post that…..
I just can’t get enough.
Whats with seagull stuff???
Someone will do bird for this.
Evening Timland from a sultry hun free mountain valley.
No read back.
Fair enjoyed the game today, thot we played some very decent stuff considering it was very early pre season.
A complete change in the way we are going about things, the pressing of the ball is greatly enhanced.
Good to see some who were on the fringes getting a chance, different managers see things oh so differently.
Ball retention needs to be worked on, has always been a problem for us, and in europe we will get punished.
Happy as a Tim should be.

Maybe the sevconion zombie thought it was an R Cgull
