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.

Respect your opinion but poor stuff.
Gordon64 – Thank you my friend in Celtic for at least respecting my opinion even if you disagree. (thumbsup)

Good night all GodBless the Knox family and OUR WEE HERO
Art of War – Jimmyquins- I took the family to Summerlee and could not believe the hardship that was endured by miners. Philvis probably thought that they were lucky to have a job.
Sorry Art, I just picked up on the tail end of your conversation there.
I hope you enjoyed your visit to Scotland’s noisiest museum. They used to have a small space in the museum dedicated to my great grandfather so I was a regular visitor there many years ago.
Life in the olden days certainly was hard and most people at the time certainly would have regarded themselves as lucky to have a job, since the alternative was starvation. We’re very lucky that even our poor today live lives that would have once been viewed by our grandparents as luxurious. (thumbsup)
I’m innumerate so I can’t quantify what any of this is about. Off to invest in a wide-o share issue.

For your granda and all the emigrants and immigrants
And all emigration, the curse of a nation The setting now fitting his sad sweet refrain.

Some talk about hun title stripping.To me,that`s symbolic.Of no real importance.
I hope for financial sanctions.Nothing beats the hip pocket nerve.
Followed by an exit from Ibrox.
My boy was at the local game here yesterday.He tells me that the big chant was:
“When I see you Sydney,I go out of my head……”
I wish we could have patented it.
Del Piero scored in a 3-2 loss.
The Campptown ladies sing this song,
Doo-da, Doo-da
The Camptown racetrack’s five miles long
Oh, de doo-da day
Barrach Obampot – These guys are risking their lives trying to help others.
Are they really though?
I’m willing to give them the benefit of the doubt that so many radical lefties seem unable to give to conservatives and assume they only have the best of intentions.
But are their actions really helping anybody, or are they just radical tourists? (thumbsup)
phil
imagine, giving the a toilet and heating ..
back in the day they would freeze to death, oh they still do….
another hike in heating costs ….

Result.
UFC on ESPN after that. Then sleep. Then wakefulness to a scolding from the boss, a ragin hangover and a 3yo wired to the moon hellbent on making the aforementioned hangover worse by a factor of 10 (not binary).
Philvis
None of that progress would have been achieved
were it not for the Trade Union and Labour movement,
much to your chagrin.
blantyretim – I agree with you.
Every pensioner who dies this winter as a result of worrying that heating is too expensive will be a victim of the climate change con artists who have deliberately driven up energy prices in this country to line the pockets of wind farm subsidy junkies. (thumbsup)
Gordon64 – Much to my chagrin.
Yes, because I want people to be poor. It comforts me while I stroke my white cat and gloat over an atlas.
Muahahahahaha!
In the real world, the reason we no longer have people scrabbling on the streets to find bits of coal to heat their hovels is that the last two centuries of economic growth have made our society filthy stinking rich in comparison with the olden days.
Unions and Labour had nothing to do with it except in hastening the departure of heavy industries from these shores. (thumbsup)

Superb. NN n HH
BT – Need to get out. Earning the same as i was 14 years ago. As for UC, it is worse than you/i thought. We got a presentation of `non-compliance’ for looking for work and it is laughable. Would like to meet up and discuss the wrongs of the world and put it right. HH

as usual from yourself, just beautiful
Philvis
You are talking nonsense.
Scotland produces enough oil, electricity and gas
to allow us all to have it for free.
philvis
In the situations I was in yes. We participated in the olive harvest to help ensure Palestinian farmers had access to their land to harvest their crops otherwise the Israeli courts take the land of them for not using them. (thumbsdown) The presence of Western and Israeli peace activists made a huge difference and helped prevent settler intimidation. Yes we were armed, your are right about that, but only with cameras and video recorders.

Gordon64 – Scotland produces enough oil, electricity and gas

It sure does buddy.
And a free pony for every child.
Scotland could be like a cold Venezuela if we put our minds to it. (thumbsup)
SFTB – you and yer brars coming to the race night?!

It has always been my opinion that Celtic have the smartest cookies anywhere on their Board since Fergus arrived. The fact that they have not deviated at all from their LONG term ideas says so much.
I am in awe at the way we have competed against such horrific obstacles.
We are thinking these are Good Days? FFS the days up ahead are going to be spectacular IMO.
All our struggles will culminate with Great Joy.

A light relief from the right wing garbage :>)
Philvis – just read your response. Tragic lives we lead! Lucky to have a job is one of them!!!!
aow
any time mate, I work in the west end/city centre..
email me at my username@aol.co.uk
I have been known to have a beer in Partick with ole canamalar..
if you know him he has my mob no.
Barrach Obampot – I think you misread me, I didn’t intend to accuse the well-intentioned-but-wrongheaded Westerners who decide to insert themselves between the IDF and Hamas of being armed with guns or anything.
I have no dog in that fight, but I’m reminded of the fact that around a million Arab Muslims live peacefully as citizens of Israel, with the right to vote, own property, and hold public office, while any Jew who wanders unaided into the West Bank is likely to be swiftly kidnapped or murdered.
Not being given to utopian sensibilities I don’t foresee a peaceful and happy ending for everyone concerned if the soi-disant anarchists get their way. (thumbsup)
night bhoys..
take care and behave.. o))
god bless wee oscar and god bless out old mate Kano..
god bless you all in fact…
or yoda etc…
Art of War – Compared with the alternatives, having a job is usually a pretty good thing. (thumbsup)
THE EXILED TIM – Thank you my friend. That funky little tune sure changed my opinion on whether or not we can all have “free” electricity. (thumbsup)

Philvis, you are awful… and ye know how I likes ya
but
Unions and labour had nothing to do with it? So we stay with the Victorian attitude to labour (not the party), and don’t nationalise the coal mining industry (as an example), and rely on the beneficence of unregulated privateers to pull society forwards.
I can post a few examples of how that worked
You can take yer sister bach. ♫♬♩♫
