Football can be a primitive sport on occasions but before kick off at Cardiff tonight the Wales and Scotland players will acknowledge the nation’s thoughts for a family in distress. The game provides many of us with opportunities to remember we are members of a complex and caring society. The The Wee Oscar 4 Life team have asked me to invite you to next month’s race night at Celtic Park. This is from them:
Be a hero for Wee Oscar and come along and join us for the WeeOscar4Life Race Night and Auction on 17th November in the Kerrydale Suite at Celtic Park!
Wee Oscar and his family flew to Philadelphia on the 6th October to start Wee Oscar’s potentially lifesaving Immunotherapy treatment, unfortunately due to health complications Wee Oscar was rushed into Intensive Care and it appears that these complications have shattered the prospect of receiving this immunotherapy treatment in Philadelphia. The events from the last few days have strengthened the WeeOscar4Life Campaign’s resolve to ensure maximum support for Wee Oscar and his family throughout Wee Oscar’s treatment. Set-backs such as this mean that it’s now more important than ever to raise additional funds.
The WeeOscar4Life campaign are proud to continue our fundraising for Oscar and his family during his treatment; Lisa Hague, Patron of the campaign, and Partner of Celtic’s Kris Commons says ‘This is the next stage of fundraising which will directly support Oscar and his family throughout the treatment and we implore the Celtic Family to continue supporting this incredibly worthwhile appeal. The Race Night and Auction is going to be a wonderful night and I can’t wait for the fun!”
Tom Boyd, the captain who stopped 10, said, “It will be my pleasure to support the WeeOscar4Life campaign by attending the race night next month. The backing shown by the Celtic Family already has been nothing short of extraordinary, and has inspired many of us to get involved and help this family through such an abysmal time.”
10 WeeOscar4Life Corporate tables, seating 10 people, are available on a first come first served basis offering preferential seating, drinks package, snacks, free entry and company advertising/printed logos. Early booking is advised as advanced reservations mean there is limited availability.
WeeOscar4Life seats are available and can be purchased individually or as groups at £7 per ticket. Again these seats will be sold on a first come first served basis. Snacks will be available on each table. Tables seat 10 people.
On the night there will be 8 races a raffle and an auction.
Race sponsorship is also available at £250 per race.
Jockey and Owner sponsorship is also available at £5 per Jockey or Owner. Each winning Jockey and Owner will receive a prize.
To reserve tickets or request further information please contact the team at here WeeOscar4Life@gmail.com.
The event flyer can be found here.

Valentines Day
Just watched it too, with my family.
Wonderful entertainment!
The feel good factor that film exudes is palpable.
I needed cheering up tonight but absolutely nothing to do with Scotland!
God help and bless wee Oscar and his family.
Did big Fraser get a shot between the sticks tonight?

If Scotland are to appoint a new manager, we do have one advantage over a lot of countries: money.
The SFA can afford to offer a very big contract to a very good coach. I have no names to throw into the hat, but it needs to be a managerial equivalent of Victor Wanyama, Beram Kayal or, stretching it, even Henrik Larsson.
Same old, same old, same old will not do.
Craig Levein is far from the worst guy in Scottish football, but he isn’t smart enough for this.
It’s not a job for a young guy, a guy who wants the day-to-day contact with players. It’s for a guy like Capello or Vicente del Bosque (were they to become available) or Raymond Domenech (who already is, aged 60, on the burro) …
It’s for a Berti without the Scottish media queueing up to slaughter him. It’s for a clever guy who understands football in the twenty-first century.
The next Scotland manager must not be drawn from the ranks of Hun anti-football specialists.
WGS surely…

We 2 could go on all night about Abba
Knowing me knowing you.
OG Rafferty,
Posted earlier… Thanks again for your usual reliable tip-offs. ATs blog was a nice wee read today, and now I can look forward to tomorrow’s edition. Surprised that some on here earlier question your crystal ball, seems fine to me!

Pep Guardiola is still on a sabbatical.
Could he be tempted?
Speaks excellent English.

Nothing to do with me. Credit to him for calling it as he sees it and still being on it.
Pep for Arsenal.
That’s the word on the carrer.

Lots of LOL ……. was just tired (or lazy)’! But thought you were spot on ….!!
Embdy who thinks the next scotland manager will not have any hun affiliations must be on the glue, or someting similar.
You will never change a lifetime overnight.
Bertie only got the job cos he was called Bertie.
Felt Scotland were hard done by this evening; thought we had a very good goal chocked off and a very very soft penalty (still think Bale dived) given against us. But, given what advantages Scotland has had in years past against Wales,maybe they deserved a wee bit of luck.
Are our captain, Kris and Joe ok? Why did wee James not get a run out?
Question for you , if Gareth bail was Scottish would be get In leveins team ?
O.G.Rafferty
You give us a wee morsel before hand ,for that I thank you sir.
Good night all
God bless the Knox family and our wee hero
HAIL HAIL
I see someone has suggested the manager of thon deid team for Scotland. God help us. Surely even the SFA wouldn’t stoop so low. Personally, I would offer it to Steven Pressley, supported by wee Gordon. Pressley, I think, is his own man and tries to get his team playing football the right way.
leftclicktic,
Entirely. They are the real heroes
Radio Scotland talking some real shoite …..Maloney admits he did make contact with Gareth Bale, and they still say there was no contact, then minimal, not enough to go down …….fuds

Yesterday’s ‘Gazzetta dello Sport’ said that that old lothario Silvio Berlusconi is despatching his right-hand man Adriano Galliani to try and entice Pep to come to Milan – with the promise of oodles of cash, a castle, a yacht and as many showgirls as he wants!
OK – I made part of that up! But that’s the word on the streets out here at the moment.
Quite possibly a load of bollox ‘tho!
HH!!
Mrs PC67, giving me the cold a**e treatment cos i said it might not be a bad thing Scotland losing tonight, every cloud an all that. I sincerely hope that we get it right if C.L. does go this week, as somebody said earlier on, we need someone to come in and get rid of the negative mindset that Smith and Eck created.
Would like to see WGS get the gig.

It was a shoe in from 30 mins in
Let me just be clear here I am a Scot of Irish descent who lives in England and first and foremost I am a celtic supporter … Ok that said … thank ghod our players seem to be back from international duties unscathed but I have NO TIME for Levine and the SFA the republic score was no surprise Greece however let me down on a 8 game acca ….. So to summarise no celtic players injured….. That will do fer me …. £50 win from “HARRY POTTERS X1” … That’s a bonus cheers .
Hope WGS waits till its all ova before he takes the job ….. IMHO
Tallybhoy
I’m not surprised, but Pep would be on a hiding to nothing, really. Milan are on the down escalator.
Arsenal, as everybody knows, have been playing a Celticesque game of waiting for the EPL bubble to burst, at which point they will be the ones with the low debt, new stadium and fine young players. For each year in which they fail to win the league, Arsène standing down becomes a more realistic prospect. They will spend big on his successor. Pep would be number-one on the list.
London is a draw.
I was at the fateful game in Cardiff in 1985.
I wonder what big Jock would make of it all now.
