Wee Oscar’s dad, Knoxy, asked me to relay this message to you……
“The BIG cycle to Belfast… WOW! What an absolutely incredible effort by so so many people all to raise money for our wee hero, and a great night was had by all on Saturday night up at Donegal Celtic. It is very very humbling and I really felt that my thanks conveyed to them all on Saturday night was just not enough. I know they didn’t do it for thanks or for a pat on the back but I really hope they know that both me and Leona are deeply deeply moved by what they have done.
Over the last 9 months we have thanked many hundreds of people for all sorts of different things they have done for Oscar and I’m sure after a while the thanking almost comes across a bit ‘rehearsed’ and maybe a bit insincere but we just want to make sure they all know how thankful we are to them and to the amazing people who have donated to such a whopping total!”
Fantastic work by all, very well done.
Celtic have conceded 16 goals in the 9 games since Efe Ambrose’ much debated return to the team which faced Juventus last month, a period which saw them eliminated from the Champions League and the League Cup, while losing to Motherwell and Ross County.
They conceded 16 goals in the previous 24 games, including two Champions League games against Barcelona, one against Benfica and one against Spartak Moscow. A problem which initially appeared to be limited to Efe, has clearly affected others, including Kelvin Wilson and even the goalkeeper looks less assured than before.
More than any other facet of football, defending is dependent on confidence and teamwork. If communication is poor, you make mistakes. If you expect teammates to make mistakes, you’ll make decisions accordingly. If your decisions reflect a lack of confidence, you’re on a slippery slope to losing goals. Bad defenders look good in good teams but good defenders look hopeless once order is disturbed.
Only just catching up with the antics on Gallowgate on Saturday. Not read about the destruction of property or occasions of assault, which I assume preceded the mass arrests. Surely? I’m not sure if Alex Salmond has renewed the high levels of police funding for football-related activity, which was initially due to expire at the end of this month, but for someone who is usually so politically savvy, he seems to have set off on a road without checking consequences of the legal questions.
A bit like his major project…..
Where we are today is a consequence of the First Minister’s initiatives in 2011, and is why Celtic fans, the Club, and many others, opposed the initiative at the time. It’s playing out pretty much as everyone with an interest in football expected. Mr Salmond’s Scotland is looking a bit like Mrs Thatcher’s Yorkshire, circa 1984.
You’re as well blaming the inclement weather as blaming the police or anyone in the game, the police, like the weather, do what they do. This is the work of the Other Charlotte Square Bogeyman.

‘ernie lynch @12:03 squirm and wriggle all you want. You drew a comparison.’
The GB set a trap for plod. M’kay.
Plod fell into the trap. M’kay.
No one now is in any doubt about the lengths that plod is prepared to go to to further the agenda set by Salmond. M’kay.
People think the GB fell into a trap set by plod. M’kay.
In that respect what happened on Saturday has parallels with what happened at Burntollet.
That does not amount to equating (there’s that word again. Equating, not comparing. They mean different things. Look them up.) the Civil Rights Movement etc with the GB.
Is your obtuseness affected or are you genuinely as thick as you appear to be?
Big Yogi got MOTM down at Hartpool.

Just a quick question about the radio links. The meetings with PL were a while ago weren’t they? Is PL on holiday just now and is it just coincidence that that’s when these broadcasts are being made?

Who set a trap for whom on Saturday ?
___________________
That’s a real good question.
Who won & who lost at the end of that unedifying tragi-comedy ?
It’s hard to believe that Strathclyde’s finest could have been stupid enough to so publicly display their eneptitude & their agenda.
Not sure about who set the trap, but I do know who lost,…big time.

You should post more often. That is the kind of post and attitude that will grab attention if more articulate it.
It goes back to my old hobby horse about communication, even if what is said is unpalatable to some, at least we would know what we are buying into, but I do think it is now time to take stock.
