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.

Delaneys D(o)nkey,
That guy knows everything about Chapels and Churches.
He gets around and makes sure he gets to Mass. Humbled by that Polish Priest, he was really speaking my Language when he was up there just going on a rant (it wisnae a rant at all). Fantastic.
Seagull injured in orange squawk.

Police scoddland now suggesting that the seagull had previous…………..

Can you explain why the trade union movement in Scotland that had many catholics in senior positions stayed silent on the issue?

Motown…wow.

That zombie who asalted the seagull wouldn’t have been so tough if there had been a flock of them
Sips
mibbees if you vote the same way as the klan your appeal might get upheld
Tbj
your just wishing.
Raven lunatics
Don’t know anything of the Reids. It wouldn’t surprise me in the least if the article discussed earlier was anti-Celtic. The Herald, frightened by a tumbling readership, have made an only too obvious pitch for the Hun. It’s no more than a rag these days.
Where’s the burdz?

The multi nation children worshipping The Lord today in Kirkcaldy was magical and a glimpse of our Kingdom to come.
Forza Polska!
Hail Hail Saint John Paul!
I wonder if the oo get the Motown GrOOvE?
If they are still boxing with seagulls, I’m guessing it is still a No, unfortunately.
Four Tops on STV singing “I’ll be there”. Brilliant.

Delaneys Dunky,
Was Brilliant hearing the Marys Meals guy speak, he kept it short but really made me think, I think you were crying during it for a moment, I was near to tears listening to the Priest when he was talking about life and the Burdens being put on us ALL.
I’ve been told by people I believe, to travel for your worship in this day and age. We should have actually went back in @ 1 for the Polish version. Next Year we shall.
The seagull was lucky he only got punched, the guy must have been a raven loony,he
could have throstled the seagull.i wonder if he was wren…ched off the the poor bird
or was he allowed to carrion
sorry

The seagulls favourite singer was….cliff
Good night all

Perhaps because so many of those Catholics were afraid of rocking the boat – many were in positions that they might have lost if they had spoken out. I genuinely don’t know
It still does not change the facts about JR – he might well have been the product of his upbringing and time – but as far as I’m aware he never spoke out against restrictive practices
In either the yards nor Ibrox
A fine orator but not quite the hero some now would like to make him out to be!

Certainly was QUB 1977 -83. Is that Brian?
Was the seagull’s name Nelson, by any chance?
I hope that zombie’s up in front of the beak tomorrow.
Tbj,
HaHa, we both know how it works with the cabal in there.
