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 celtic board have decided that mediocrity is too ambitious for celtic given our financial constraints. Celtic fans should accept that trying to be crap is ambitious given the league we are in,
Season books will double in price because celtic believe that being crap will mean games are competitive.
In an official statement Celtic CEO Peter Lawwell stated that supporters who believed we shouldn’t be crap were being unrealistic and that it was shameful that supporters should not just accept being crap because it was un celtic like to be disloyal. He was also heard to say just gies ur money ya mugs.

No beers in the house is criminal but I’m beginning to think I have a wee problem when the cider and white wine vinegars are being stared at.
Rumours abound that celtic’s credo that they are more than just a club means that celtic view themselves as a bank more than a football club, when asked by reporters peter Lawwell, Celic CEO said just gies peace and gies ur money.
Bit too close for comfort………………

I wondered that too.
From a small poultry farm in Moygashel Co Tyrone, they are now a billion pound worldwide business. As someone said earlier, they were taken over by a Brazilian firm.
Moy Park Tender Tasty Chicken.
Cliftonville- how is it that wummin can do a full weekly shop, clean the hoose, make ra dinner…..but always forget to buy their favourite wine?
Maybe Sparkleghirl can enlighten us!

I think he is a fantastic pundit
I cud listen to him all day
Just been to the gym. They’ve got a new machine in. Only used it for half an hour as I started to feel sick. It’s great though. It does everything –
KitKats, Mars Bars, Snickers, Crisps, the lot

Theglasgowcelticway- hah, that reminds me of an old mate of mine who kept disappearing to our bathroom one night. I thought he had a bladder problem until the wife pointed out that all the cough medicines were empty!
Seems it gives you a wee hit but wouldn’t know about that myself..cough, cough…
I liked Liam’s post match comments regarding how the training felt like the u20’s. The future is bright. Big cup in 2020 anyone? HH.
Goal of the tournament so far.
3 Van Persie
2 Tim Cahill
1 Jimmy Rodriguez.

Loved that.
BTW Has your bhoy made it home yet?

poor game.
Get well soon Alfredo di Stefano.
One of my late dad’s all-time favourites along with that Hungarian striking partner of his and countless Celtic legends from the 1930s onwards!

Have very much enjoyed this world cup despite the games getting Xavier by the round.
Brazil did their global reputation no good at all by kicking young James off the park – ably assisted by the ref, a bought man by the looks of it.
NFL and WGS have been the best of the pundits.
The commentators are reduced to giving bulletins on the numbers of EPL players on the pitch. They just don’t get it.
The rank stench of hypocrisy is ever-present at any FIFA event. Think Blatter and his blatant co-option of the racial equality message.

Re Davie Hay.
Age is perspective on this,I reckon.
I’m 17 again again next week. Last year I was 25 again.
Apparently.
Davie Hay got fed up being effectively fined for doing his job. He took a good look at the likes of Harry Hood and Tommy Callaghan who did their own job which did not involve tackling and therefore didnae include being injured.
And was mightily effed off by it.
Yes,we also lost George Connelly because of it. George was finding life difficult in the big city,Davie was his best pal and protector.
He didn’t ask to leave. He asked for a fair crack of the whip.
It might be worth criticising those who drove him to that rather than criticise a fella who gave everything for our club.
Once twice and thrice.
Me,I can only be booted in the baws twice. That’s biology for ya.
Davie got the hat-trick. And he deserved better.

Correct about Moy park. They are indeed a Brazilian company with franchise operations/subsids around the world. Re your post at 16.45, far too much time spent on lunch in the grounds of the city hall.

Maybe if you try a couple of worms suspended under a bubble float you might get a nibble though I think you’d have better luck with a dry fly (dare I suggest a sedge) given the time and month. Good luck and tight lines.

Re celebrating your kulchar on the 12th.
Think I’ll do the same, burn a few tyres and a couple of sofas just to reinforce my national identity.
