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.

A few feathers ruffled today methinks. Hope the ole seagull got away OK and I hope he got all his relatives and pals to come back and shit on the smelly bastards..
PS The seagull crossed the road to get away from the vermin.

The oo are Revolting.
The Secret Societies, at the top levels, it seems to me, are being deceived by their Master, well those that think they are up there at the Top.
The Esoteric were emphatic in their view that a New Golden Age of Paganism was gonnae happen when 21st December 2012 happened.
What has really changed? A ramping up of the obvious sredruM.

The GB should turn up at the first home game with a pro seagull banner.

SSN just showed the goals from the Brora -Sevco game and interviewed Kenny MacDowall and then showed a few clips of Hearts game both games played in small stadia with a few folk clapping. Not a mention of the Scottish champions facing Austria Vienna in the final game to be played at a stadium in front of tens of thousands of passionate, colourful and intimidating AV fans. Seriously thinking of following BRTHs advice. There are things I will miss but some things must be done. Or, have Celtic placed an embargo on footage for some reason. Cannae see it masell.
Mair drink!
Tbj,
If they had their way, there would be crucifixions all the way too hamdump…probably just get to the international before they ran out.
I’m Spartacus :)

You are correct in that many people failed to speak out on this issue
I have no knowledge of JRs family -all I’m saying is that here was someone who rose to national prominence as a defender of workers rights -did not extend that right to some people on the grounds of their religion. He was not the only one for sure but that is hardly a great excuse
He then went on to make a living as a commentator on life in Scotland -taking money from Maxwell and Murdoch -in all those columns did he ever speak on this issue?
Again just because others didn’t speak out -does that really matter?
As I said a good orator but not the working class hero -he has become IMHO

a wee guy in our church this morning selling real quality crucifixes from bethlehem

Just 574 signatures needed to reach its goal !
Ive not had one ” petition signed Timabhouy ” must be” love orange order” sunday !
bognorbhoy- thanks mate,a pittance in the grand scheme of things,ridiculous people have to suffer for a device that costs about 400 quid.HH
the vein finder would have been godsend for the wife…
she has just finished 6 sessions of chemo over a 20 week period..
breast cancer…mastectomy… so only one arm could be used for
blood tests and chemo she was not offered a picc line..( dont know why )
anyway all her veins were knacked( chemo burns and hardens the veins she was also a
blood donor which didn’t help) finding veins was a hard task for the nurses
in the end they were putting canulars in her thumb to deliver the chemo she
said it was really painful..but at least she is through it now onwards and upwards
now all i can say is if you or anyone you know has to have chemo ask for a picc line
it is costly but stays in until treatment is over..

Michael is a Wonderful salesman.

All kidding aside – I don’t know what all the fuss is about the zombie punching the seagull at the walk
I over heard some zombettes saying they normally get a cockatoo up the park so I guess what’s good for the goose is good for the gander :)
