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.

Germany have some record alright in WC qualifiers and Ireland have a badly weakened team on show, so I can definitely see where Betfair are coming from with their odds on the home team. Just betting with the heart instead of the head I suppose and hoping the Irish team have a point to prove to the home support and media.
Pabloh, have to say auld Chuckles is in a world of his own when it comes to madness. Me and Mad Jack McMad appear as but mere mild psychotics fully medicated compared to the Sevconian leader ! :-)

God bless Wee Oscar – all the Celtic family are rooting for you right now.
Tried to pay HMRC for overpayment of child credit from 2011 :( however their phone system is off-line today.
Miss Prestonpans said “why don’t you do a Rangers and come back as The Prestonpans Bhoys”and pay nothing!
Good idea if they can get away with it why not me………….

Miki67,
as philvis.., keeps telling us, its all relative.
From the perspective of the sex slaves of Rochdale your are landed gentry
MWD
That was due to the residual affect of that lassie in the Gary Hooper top swooning over winking and blowing me kisses the whole night. Put me off the quiz so it did.

I consider myself to be aristocratic. Blame my Irish ancestors ;-)
HH
Aye….there is some site that takes your income and tells you where you stand in the world….relatively. Most of us, regardless of income, in the UKplc are way way up there.
And what goes on in this country as is revealed by Rochdale, Hillsborough, Savile, etc., is disturbing in the extreme and sickens me in my soul.
God bless Oscar
Now I need to get my head down and have a kip….need to clear it. That, in itself, is a luxury.
Having a tough job here bucking strong head winds on the way home from work
Had one of those lucky meetings with a genuine Celtic legend today
Sauntered into the Celtic shop on Sauchiehall street around 12.30 and this legend was buying various pieces of Celtic merchandising to take back to his new home on the other side of the world
Yes Paul McStay in spending his dough on Celtic………..says i, looks like you buying the shop Paul
Its got to be done says Paul, once a true Celt, always a Celt
Good luck down under
Made my day

HT 9 in 1980 you have really depressed me now my YOUNG FRIEND
======================================================
Keep imagining HT as an auld looking 9 year old,in the mould of
Jimmy Clitheroe.
Cheers Ghuys for the comments on the Glasnost post earlier.

My view is that there is little point in changing the domestic set up without reference to the international opportunities that are emerging. The media at the moment are chanting the almost Orwellian line “4 Leagues Bad – 3 Leagues Good” but provide no reason for that. I suspect it is not unconnected with a desire to get Sevco into the top league quickest, rather than what is good for the Game in general. I also suspect that the idea of a Euro League leaving Sevco behind in the SFL scares the living daylights out of a few of our Pressmen.
Changes forced through now that don’t account for the Euro dimension are either specifically short term or entirely short sighted.
You can perm any number of domestic divisions and member clubs, but we simply don’t have the wherewithal to generate significant money playing within the confines of Scotland. Talk of redistributing what cash we have doesn’t add any more value to the Game, it just averages out the poverty. Fine for local egality. Rotten for improvement.
Personally, I don’t like the UK thing, and would prefer the Scots, Dutch etc to create their own market, but whatever we do, we need to get busy about it.

Just an update to the fundraising activities of John Paul Academy for Wee Oscar , they pupils and staff raised a further £300 today with their own bucket collection.
The pupils are also doing a sponsored cycle from the school to Celtic Park on Wednesday to raise more funds .
The school has now raised well over £1000 for Oscar.
Well done to all involved and God Bless Wee Oscar.
