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.

I think that whisky has special powers. I battered 2 seagulls on the way home!
Nice to have a wee chat yesterday mate and I’m glad you got something from your morning visit with DD.

I would be happy to find out why the Labour Party did not speak out – perhaps you could direct me to any political party that has spoken out on this issue -including the more recent ones like the Greens-the SSP and the SNP
JR was in the CP was he not? – perhaps I missed it but did they speak about it?
HH
Just back from a wee sojourn over to the nearbye Greek island on the old boat.Hurried back to see the game.Glad I did.It confirmed that Derk is one of the most useless footballers I have seen.A total waste of boots.
Good result.Played well.Stokes,and his tufty twin will need to get their fingers out.A mile off the pace.Only 10 days to go.
Anyway,I brought back 15 kilos of Pork.Probably better putting that out on the wing in place of that trumpet,Derk.
Didn’t see the game tonight but had the misfortune to see Derks sitter, unbelievable
Sipsini pleasure to meet you yesterday have a great time Italia, I think if ACGR had his way you might have struggled to catch the flight:-)))
Petec you are brilliant company mate, I assume you found our absent friend. I will reserve you a place on the evening seat if we ever return
Watched second half of game today.
It looked like a decent workout & manager has a clear idea of how he wants team to play, and, the fact that he has started with virtually identical line ups tells you his preferred players
My concern for season is we are very weak up front.
Stokes scored 20 goals last season, but most of them were after the league was won.
If he is going to play a 433 or 4442 with two wide guys, the only possible game changer will be if Tony Watt breaks through.
One thing I couldn’t get a handle on was defending set pieces- did we still use a zonal system?
Kojo 22:45,
Your Love for Celtic, will eventually spread.
I love macjay1 so much because I like people who are…. people.
macjay1 states his case, he may be wrang at times, like you are, I’m forever wrang, everywan is wrang.
I know that for a FACT, btw.
Celtic will only win the Brutally tarnished Cup with just Celtic Supporters in the olde team.
So give yerself a wee pat on the back for calling this one a good few years ago, God Only knows.

Certainly is. Missed my vocation. Should’ve been a peeler. How’s things?
Haven’t been over lately. The last time we were talking was on the plane back from one of the games. Must be over 6 years ago. Our youngest son passed away in 2008 from Leukaemia so lots of things changed as you can imagine. The next time you’re up in Derry give us a bell and we can meet up.
Petec
Are you sure it wasn’t just to inhale his ‘Mary Jo’ :-)
Bognorbhoy. Love n prayers mhate.
DD – you could wake up with worse things on your chest than a donner after dramming with ACGR!
HT – 2 seagulls?!? Hope that doesn’t make you a double strength Stickie!!!
;-)))
Night Timdom. 6.20 alarm for 1st say back at work tomorrow.
PS who actually win the sclaffbaw and pool? Were any of you in a condition to remember?!?
HH jamesgang
martybhoy59,
Good to meet your good self.
As regards acgr… He wanted to stay on the train to Edinburgh on the way back to Dalgety Bay…even sweet talked the ticket collector for a free ride. Train journey that is!
Must say, I had a great weekend, pity my pool was pash…let the people sing. HH
police Scotland have confirmed that the assault on the seagull was in self defense, they have a photo as drawn up by a police artist and now is posted on their web site “anyone whoo whoo recognizes the picture should call their local police office” officer owl stated. , there will be extra police at the next celtic home game just in case the said seagull shows up there which there is a good chance it will. as it is known that all seagulls are tims and if there were not they are now.

Ronny will win the Champions League with Celtic in 2017. The 50th anniversary of Lisbon, wi a team of Scots Bhoys.

I think you make my point for me. No one in those days wanted to make sectarianism an issue, therefore to single ongle out JR as some kind of colladroater is simply stupid, unless you can provide evidence to support your argument?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I’m glad I wasn’t tempted to, I was tempted, you have no idea. I was thinking as we were driving doon MountBlow Rd, go on Pedro ask the man for a wee Slither so you can have a yogurt. The G Thang would have given me all he had because he is just that kind of person.

I suspect that the only thing that will take Articles Two and Three out of the Irish Constitution is when the bombs begin to blow in Dublin in the way that they have been in Belfast and in London.

The issue of sectarianism.
