Mary’s Meals were in touch with photographs and information from the Sean Devereux Primary School, Montserrado County, Liberia, the seventh school we have funded through Mary’s Meals. We started to raise money for this school at Christmas. Each school day, 253 pupils are fed a vitamin-enriched meal, paid for by you.
Liberia has chronic problems, exacerbated by the recent Ebola outbreak. Only 38% of primary aged children attend school, largely as a consequence of the economic necessity to work in order to eat. The meals you provide address this central problem, but importantly, it ensures children attend school for what is often their only daily meal. This access to education provides life chances which carry decades worth of benefits.
Daniel Folley, deputy head of Sean Devereux Primary, said, “The school’s population has increased [because of the Mary’s Meals kitchen], and academic performance is at a peak. Hunger used to rive children down, when teachers used to speak, they were not paying attention. Now they are able to learn more.”
In 15 years Mary’s Meals has grown from a shed in Scotland into a force which feeds over 1.2 million children each day. As they work in the poorest areas, your money goes far. It costs an average of just £13.90 to feed a child for an entire year.
The other big reason we like Mary’s Meals is that 93% of funds raised reaches the recipient. The organisation runs on just a 7% overhead, which is exceptional in the aid sector.
Online communities get a bad press, but you share this blog with a lot of great people. See below. This is how it feels to be Celtic!

VFR800 is now a Monster 821
What, as in, nae two cents to rub together?

Since Bruno Alves is adept at blootering a ball from a free kick, will that make Tavernier’s ability to sky the ball over the bar from them redundant?
Maybe start an”Over the crossbar”challenge.The last similar thing they did was a roaring success.Anyone ever hear about a winner in Chucks money spinner?.
Turkeybhoy
Aye, ole Big Hands won it himself at half time during a closed doors match…
Btw, reports say Ryan Jack to be confirmed a Sevco player today. Pedro’s Glorious Revolution continues!
TURKEYBHOY on 1ST JUNE 2017 10:05 AM
My favorite thing over the whole Bruno Alves affair is the Zombie twitter accounts and the Daily Record label him a “Euro 2016 winner”
He played 0 minutes. He never kicked a ball.
timaloy29
To be fair, I think he played in the game against Wales!
I see that tool who waiked through McChuills chanting racist bile about Sinky has been named as Robbie Anderson. Apparently hes gone all shy all of a sudden when reporters chapped his door. He’ll be even more bashful when plod pay a visit. Hell mend him. Pwick.

then back to Glasgow for the Joe Dodds commemoration service at St Convals Cemetery.
———————————————–
Saint John bhoy, there is an excellent podcast of the commemoration, really good listen and the work of the celtic graves society

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a player unveiled and not wearing a replica shirt. Extraordinary.
Once again I can hardly contain my excitement.The Huns are once again”Eyeing”the seemingly mythical creature,a DOF.This time its some guy from newly relegated Norwich,the name escapes me.Dont think it ever registered,but he has been credited ,and this seems to be the highlight of his DOF career,as the man who discovered,wait for it,Tony Andrieu,the Hamilton sensation.
Where will it all end,I ask myself.
Morning All,
I have just taken delivery of a fresh batch of Spirit of 67 Polo Shirts and more or less immediately two-thirds of them have gone out of the door to people heading for Vegas.
I can post a photo link on here but I have posted details on the CQN/Facebook page which you can find here:

If anyone wants one now, or for me to bring some to the forthcoming Hootenanny in McChuills then drop me a line at jjoe88@hotmail.co.uk
Cheers

Hayes? Maybe Brendan wants him as cover for KT?
I have never been blown away by any of his performances that I have seen, in spite of an ex work colleague, who is a sheepie, always chirpin’ on about him. He obviously is SPEEFL ready, so that’s one plus point. If he joins I am sure he will do OK, but just don’t think that he adds much at a European level.
Howeeeevaaaa, I think it would be a mistake to get rid of Ryan Christie, if he is to be a makeweight in the deal. (Should the cash adjustment not go to us in such a deal?). Ryan has great potential, is SPEEFL ready, and at only 22, can be coached to become any player Brendan wants him to be. I am convinced Ryan has a big future in the game, and imo could easily fit the number 10 role at least as well as Callum or TR.
One thing is for sure, if he does go to the Sheep, he will score against Celtic.

Would that be the same Ryan Jack,who,after being linked with the Hun,the SMSM were telling us had a fantastic game in the Cup Final against us?.
Or is it the Ryan Jack,who like the rest of the Dons team,was blowing out of his @rse for the final 30 minutes?
I demand to know.
Morning all
Hope all well
I read SoT’s post re Salamanca and it reminded me of a very pleasant few days I was based there back in 2005. I stayed at the Scot’s College which is on the edge of the city centre . At that time was no longer a full time seminary althiugh one of the semi permanent residents was a priest studying at the university. I think the college is now back operating as a seminary but I think they still welcome visitors from Scotland.
Salamanca itself was a lovely city- with a beautiful town square with lots of bars and restaurants as well as the other sights mentioned by SoT. The young women all seemed to be very pretty with the unfortunate side effect of making me feel very old.

It was the Ryan Jack whose name was followed up with a Celtic players name every time the commentator mentioned him. To the extent that I remain to be convinced if Ryan Jack has ever retained possession.
No offence,but could posters please stop regurgitating the SMSM gash that Ryan Christie is being offered to the Dons as a makeweight in a deal for Hayes.Where ,outside of their addled brains,has this been mentioned.Any word from Celtic?Any comment from Celtic?..I think you will find that everyone,who is anyone at Celtic,will be on vacation at the moment.Who would have spoken to Ryan,or Hayes?.maybe we are going down the Hun route of conference calls,with BR,Ryan,Hayes all connected up with 3 tin cans and a load of string.
Give it a rest.

Paul Hartley rumoured to be in the verge of joining the coaching team.
Anyone thinking anything about David Moss,according to reports,our head of scouting,leaving the club for Huddersfield?.I did not know this guy.Was he head of scouting at Celtic Park?.I thought BR brought in his own guy?.Is it just spin from the SMSM,and he is the guy BRs man displaced?.

I think BR will shake up Lennoxtown , he said he was unhappy at the U17s game when we beat Sevco, i got the idea it was the style of play he was unhappy with…..
Turkeybhoy on 1st June 2017 10:53 am
Lee Congerton is our new Head of Recruitment.
I think David Moss was John Park’s Assistant
Quite happy to hear the transfer gossip,never take it seriously though and it’s more fun than the politics.
If Sevco start the season without a sponsor on their tops how long will it take the SMSM to herald it as a return to proper football values by not having bookies or booze on the strip?

Talking about spin….
https://stv.tv/sport/football/1390098-football-talk-rangers-dof-move-ambrose-agrees-switch/
The huns are apparently poaching Norwich City’s head of recruitment Joe Savage.
“former Hamilton analyst and current Norwich City head of recruitment Joe Savage who is being considered”
Which was funny because I only saw this yesterday…
https://www.canaries.co.uk/News/2017/may2/recruitment-appointments/
“NORWICH City are delighted to confirm the appointments of Chris Badlan and Kieran Scott to lead the Club’s recruitment department.
Badlan joins as Head of European Scouting, while Scott takes up the Head of Domestic Scouting position.”
ie. Mr Savage has been given the boot by Norwich and has sent his CV to Sevco. However, this is being sold as the huns potentially SWOOPING in and snatching the head honcho of Norwich
WEEBAWBABITTY
Sssshhhhhhhh…..
I think that the traditional hun supremacist outlook should be encouraged. Of course they’re world-beaters.
Ffs,I’m quaking here just thinking about how we can possibly best them next season.
Jeez the rush of astoundingly good news from the South side has me quaking in my boots…….
Aberdeens 3rd best midfielder
Portugals (n)ever present stalwart at the Euros
A top end DoF
New lightbulbs & paint in the toilets
……..it’s all positive guys, awash with cash, repairing the underinvestment in the stadium. It’s gonna be 55, I’m telling ye!

Morning
I do not like discussing Rangers ( any version) much but a thought occurs at the latest news of signings and that is whether Any Version FC has ever signed a player who was not a world beater?
Nervous Jimbo67
From James Doleman
Adds the £24 million from Ticketus also did not belong to Whyte on 6 May , he has no right to it at all
AD says Murray would not have sold Rangers to Whyte if they had known his source of funds
“That is the fraud”
AD case is not about events after Whyte bought the club: “The allegation he brought the club to its knees is nothing to do with this case
AD “This was not simply the payment of a pound”
AD says jury only need to address
two questions
1. Was the crime committed?
2 Was the accussed responsible?
AD “This trial is not a public inquiry into the corporate finances of Rangers Football Club.”
AD says David Murray’s legacy was important to him “he wanted the club to go forward with new Investment.”
Reminds the jury Murray gave evidence he would not have done the deal if he had known about Ticketus being involved
AD “What Whyte did could have been legitimate” if he did the Ticketus deal after he owned the club.
AD “Mr Whyte took active steps to ensure Ticketus deal was not revealed” any Murray investigation would not have discovered it.
AD :The bank wanted out of football generally and Rangers in particular..no suggestion though that club was going bust.”
AD notes Whyte is not charged with failing to invest in Rangers after the takeover.
————————————–
He’s having a right dig at Whyte because he bought the club with money that was not his. Didn’t Sir David himself do the very same thing?
JIM PAYNE
Only with hindsight(!)
I think Donald is going to drive a very big tank through the prosecution’s summing up. Even I could.
AD says Murray would not have sold Rangers to Whyte if they had known his source of funds
“That is the fraud”
And if Murray hadn’t sold the club he wasn’t getting his beloved MIH back for a pound and he was going to the the captain of the ship when Lloyds foreclosed Rangers.
A STOR MHA CHROI .
A skint and desperate Ayr United rejected Minty’s offer to buy the Club .(88?) . They weren’t convinced that Minty had the money . They weren’t happy that Minty intended to fund the bid and the future with borrowed money. They were very unhappy that Minty seemed to also want a perpetual payback from a Club he was oh so generously offering to “save “
