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.
The full press release can be found here.

Losing the big hoose is, indeed, very important in all of this ……. when BDO snaffle it for the creditors, that will be the moment even the SILLY bhuns will have to finally admit to themselves it is all over …….. It IS all over, they are deed, but they still cling to this cringeworthy relic of their former club’s corruption ……..

Your son is needed here just now to stop the direction of debate being steered from those very things that matter to most of us.
The right wing propaganda machinery has plenty of money and tactics behind it, but not a lot of people.
That particular argument re “defence” budget v welfare and/ or health, seems to be non-discussionary amongst the rag readers.
CQN is a big, big part of the fight for truth (even outwith football) which is why there are underhand tactics being “deployed” to subjugate it.
[The level of TSD is not a serious threat though. I find him amusing, and would go so far as to venture it’s Derek Hatton taking the mick :))) ]
Last point in parenthesis is an attempt at humour, and hopefully an anchor for folks to look at the first point again.

Good evening CHAMPIONS
IMO No one should own something that the population of any country cannot live without. When Thatcher nationalised water and electricity, she doomed the working population in this country to hardship for as long as they hold that power. (No pun intended).

A Mary Brookbank song… if you haven’t heard of her, look it up. Wee people making a difference
__________________________
Great song.
Great woman.
Thanks.
Crap and nonsense passing as erudition on here from the green hun brigade idolisers of free markets.
Privatisation (theft) was supposed to introduce competition and bring down prices (lie). Instead it created a privateers’ cartel to gouge cash out of people who live in a cold and damp climate in houses not built to cope with energy at the cost demanded.
Capitalism is a busted flush, and just about everybody has woken up to the fact that unfettered greed is finite.
Just like the huns, whose club is the epitome of arrogant capitalist greed.
See Minty….the laird of nothin’.
See Craigy….wideo.
See Chuckles…..vulture.
All true blue freebootin’ marketeers.
Ratbags all.
Fholks,
Long shot I know but I am in Madrid for the next few days with my son and Spain play France on Tuesday night at Athletico Madirid stadium, any clues on how we can get tickets for the game.
Cheers and Hail! Hail!
Night, Fholks …….
TSD,
only the once, don’t bother responding
Philvis has wit
You have none
If a country is free it can have a true Capitalist system. In the UK the Class system makes sure it can’t work.
In America it did work because there was no Class system but it wasn’t long before the Bankers took control, were kicked out and then took control again.
The Capitalist ideology is sound, assuming people are Honest and that is the big thing. You can’t trust Man. The World is a Fallen World, so no matter how hard anyone tries, it is utterly futile.

petec, great comment
Petec
Total nonsense.
TSD,
Are you Derek Hatton taking the mick?
I demand to know….the Scottish public, demands to know.
Or are you actually just Sally, as I long suspected??
Think it was Miki67 who gave a view on national football, and mongrels, today. Summed it up for me
No More Songs
Joe Heaney
I will sing no more songs: the pride of my country I sang
Through forty long years of good rhyme, without any avail;
And no one cared even as much as the half of a hang
For the song or the singer, so here is an end to the tale.
If a person should think I complain and have not got the cause,
Let him bring his eyes here and take a good look at my hand,
Let him say if a goose-quill has calloused this poor pair of paws
Or the spade that I grip on and dig with out there in the land?
When the great ones were safe and renowned and were rooted and tough,
Though my mind went to them and took joy in the fortune of those,
And pride in their pride and their fame, they gave little enough,
Not as much as two boots for my feet, or an old suit of clothes.
I ask a Craftsman that fashioned the fly and the bird,
Of the Champion whose passion will lift me from death in a time,
Of the Spirit that melts icy hearts with the wind of a word,
That my people be worthy, and get, better singing than mine.
I had hoped to live decent, when Ireland was quit of her care,
As a bailiff or steward perhaps in a house of degree,
But my end of the tale is, old brogues and old britches to wear,
So I’ll sing no more songs for the men that care nothing for me.
petec @ 23:53
Not wanting to spoil the love-in, but you know I totally disagree with that. I don’t remember Jesus trying to tell us that profit and wealth are the mainstays of a good society?
I thought he was trying to tell us to beware of that, actually.
Clever fella that man.

‘Ernie
Spot on.
Any chance you are inclined towards
an Independent Scotland ?’
Are you new on here?
(That’s a no btw).
” I don’t remember Jesus trying to tell us that profit and wealth are the mainstays of a good society?”
Apols, forgot to add, I am 2041 years old, and the Main Mhan gave me his autograph and a bit of fish, before telling me to donate a tenner to a certain Brother Walfrid :))

Gordon64,
Are you in favour of independence?
Petec
What do you want me to say ?
Your views are totally beyond me.
I’m not being critical just bemused.
Smashin, just smashin from Seamus
for mash get smash…..
Digging by Seamus Heaney
Between my finger and my thumb
The squat pin rest; snug as a gun.
Under my window, a clean rasping sound
When the spade sinks into gravelly ground:
My father, digging. I look down
Till his straining rump among the flowerbeds
Bends low, comes up twenty years away
Stooping in rhythm through potato drills
Where he was digging.
The coarse boot nestled on the lug, the shaft
Against the inside knee was levered firmly.
He rooted out tall tops, buried the bright edge deep
To scatter new potatoes that we picked,
Loving their cool hardness in our hands.
By God, the old man could handle a spade.
Just like his old man.
My grandfather cut more turf in a day
Than any other man on Toner’s bog.
Once I carried him milk in a bottle
Corked sloppily with paper. He straightened up
To drink it, then fell to right away
Nicking and slicing neatly, heaving sods
Over his shoulder, going down and down
For the good turf. Digging.
The cold smell of potato mould, the squelch and slap
Of soggy peat, the curt cuts of an edge
Through living roots awaken in my head.
But I’ve no spade to follow men like them.
Between my finger and my thumb
The squat pen rests.
I’ll dig with it.
Good night all and God bless the Knox family….whatever their politics.

It is my opinion that the Capitalist system, if everyone was fearful of God, would be the best system to get the whole World into a better place.
It’s never going to happen though because of what I said earlier. Crowley stalks every corridor today.

But,is it all over,mate?
I first saw the hun at the 7-1game.
Visited their tip on many an occasion,often leaving sadly to catch the Govan ferry,running the gauntlet of the taunting from tenement canyons with their Union Jack bunting in full view.
The exchange of songs was interesting .
Happy days!!!!!
Can`t quite bring myself to believe it could be…..Adios,sayonara,hambagashli.
See ye later,or perhaps not.
:-)
I do,however,live in hope.
Ernie
Come on now.
From your previous post i can see
you are not interested in debating Independence.
Fair play to you. Stick to your guns.

So we need a classless society for capitalism to work properly?
It’s magic mushrooms, isn’t it?
That’s the only thing I can think of.
So…
you can win the lottery, or lose your wife
what car are you gonnie buy?
As I’ve said earlier – I wouldn’t change Scotland Manager – not that I’m remotely bothered one way or the other – but I’m surprised Levien hasn’t just chucked it – he must know what’s coming, surely?
Just in from a night out, God Bless wee Oscar.
How funny is Green!
Stupid zombies.
p.s I am into £100,000 into this share issue.
it doesn’t matter if you’re working, middle or upper class…as long as you’ve got CLASS!
Thatcherite thinking has ruined this country and she has rightly been demonised by right minded people.
Her doctrine of I’m all right Jack, it’s all about me and forget your neighbour is all that is wrong and has spawned the corruption and deception of big business that we are reaping at the moment.
As a Celtic supporter I am proud to be a socialist , it sits well with the principles and spirit of Brother Walfrid .
Hail Hail
Petec
Agreed re Crowley !
Will save the discussion for another time as I think you’re getting homed-in on.
To be honest, am glad EL appeared as it was as if some right wing grenade went off there. He’s good at shutting up poor arguments imo.
