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.

St stivs @ 00:44 ….that was indeed ” our pablo”
The prince of the cqn musicfest…. Sadly missed by many .. Never forgotten.
He was instrumental in a campaign to raise funds for a great cause on here and would have championed wee oscars fight had he still been around

Where’s that from Mate?

Thoughts with wee Oscar.
HH!!
Morning all.
I officially hate international weekends.
They reduce us to the farce of folk like Petec pronouncing the virtues of capitalism in a classless society; seriously bud, comedy gold…
Capitalism is a system based on greed where ‘competition’ ensures that the vast majority lose out to sustain the abject wealth of the tiny few. Not sure I think much of your God if this is his influencevon your thinking; a cruel God indeed…
Roll on the next game…
Whither the cash strapped scrofulous hillbillies the day?

Tom English of the Scotsman, via Twitter last night, alluded to an article he was posting today regards Greene.
I think this may be it.
DBBIA
They wont be cash-strapped for much longer dontcha’ know?!
Their global fanbase of 500 million will make sure of that!
AND – in a couple of years time they will be competing in a European Super League and raking in £100 million a year in TV money!
Need to get out for some fresh air!
HH!!

Cheers Bud, I knew it couldn’t be Jabba!! I don’t know that I am that convinced by Tom English, it could be that he sees which way the wind is going to blow and has jumped on the coat tails of the Internet Bampots by turning on Greeny…
The end is nigh for Ra Zombies…

Green is hilarious
Are any of the Huns buying this guff?
Meanwhile the Huns seem to take some comfort from the fact that other teams are commenting and discussing them …..apparently it’s prima facie evidence of their importance to Scottish football
I don’t think they realise just how amusing Green’s soap opera is becoming
Som mes
That was the Tom English article from The Scotsman.
A sign that at least some journos (Glen Gibbons being another along with S Cosgrove and Jim Spence) are doing their job.
The theme is similar to James Forrest excellent article yesterday on the emotional needs of The Rangers support and how CG is playing them like a fiddle.
This is reinforced for me by a conversation I had with a sensible guy who is a Rangers supporter. He thinks CG is Rangers Fergus. I said I thought he was a spiv and the Rangers support should be doing something to get their club back, including abandoning Ibrox, an attachment they cannot afford and one which gives the spivs a hold over them.
They will not of course as a precursor would have to be the metanoia that CG has throttled into submission in his search for brass.

Ditto. I met the most amazing, courageous people of all creeds over there. A 19 year old Israeli anarchist shot on four occasions by IDF rubber bullets, once in the eye, and still he stands up to this violent oppression. Another young anarchist sustained a brain haemorrhage from a tear gas canister shot at him at close range and he still stands them down. Young Israeli members of Anarchists Against The Wall from ultra-orthodox backgrounds, who somehow managed to see through all the bs and oppose the occupation and been ostracised by their entire families in the process, and don’t care because they’d rather stand up for what is right than live a lie. A fifty year old Spanish lawyer, who had to get a plate inserted in her shoulder after an assault by a soldier the previous visit and still came back the next year to show she wouldn’t be intimidated. Westeners marrying Israeli’s so they can stay in the country and others changing their names so they could get a new passports to avoid detection on entry! The ISM guys were amazing. Met some of the guys who were in Gaza when Rachael Corrie and Tom Hurndall were murdered and they still go back time and again to face the very real dangers of standing up to a military occupation. Infact the “ism” in Barra-ism is for the International Solidarity Movement. In this horrendous situation there are the most amazing acts of courage and selflessness that are a privilege to experience, but saying that you don’t have to look beyond CQN because the stuff being done for Wee Oscar really is inspiring stuff. Keep it up CQN! Starry I’ll email Paul67 so we can get CQM on the go.
HH
U recommened any books on whats going on out there ? Keep meaning to learn more of the situation there.

You’ve got English in one
He was a Whyte cheerleader at the start of last season
He is now fairly firmly anti newco and green in particular …..trying to carve out a niche for himself
Refreshing to hear but he’s not to be trusted
Starry Plough
My thoughts on this were it nay be a result of the ‘love in’ between @rangerstaxcase and @grahamspiers on Friday night. Very lively…
RTC was claiming that the MSM including GS, were pandering to Greene and were allowing him a free rude with his bull****.
Yet, Vlad is continually referred to as ‘Mad’….
‘Ride’
Caught some of the Shortbreadpost-mortem on events in Wales.
How wee Chic can be employed by any professional broadcaster is beyond me; even his fellow deadbeats in the SSE struggle to take him seriously now.
Auldheid
My neighbour is a Hun , former ST holder etc ……he views Green with some degree of affection and respect ….sees him as the man who is prepared to scrap for them
They see themselves as victims ….Green is doing a superb job taking them all in
How otherwise sensible folk can fall for Greens nonsense is beyond me
Tom English is an opportunist and a ‘Johnny come lately’ to the anti-zombie debate.
Not so very long ago he was an apologist for Craig Whyte ffs!
I am not fooled – or convinced – by his latest stance!

”By GLENN GIBBONS…………
As recently as the present decade, John McClelland and Alastair Johnston during the proprietorship of David Murray would be prime examples of figureheads largely ignorant of the extent of the damage being inflicted on the organisation by the cavalier stewardship of the commander-in-chief.”
######
It’s interesting that McClelland’s and Johnston’s ‘ A Big Boy Done It And Ran Away’ defence is being accepted at face value.
It’s hogwash.
Both McClelland and Johnston are very experienced corporate big beasts. The knew exactly what was going on. If there were areas they turned a blind eye to it was because they knew what they would see if they looked.
Tallybhoy – no football? Waiting for the big kick off at 10am with my youngest lad. Great sliding tackle conditions.
Summa
I may be a “hun” …. If that constitutes someone who attends every home game at celtic park and owns every shirt in the last 10 years …. As well as yours lmfao
Just read wee oscars blog … This world is so unjust …. The wee boys issues should make us all realise how lucky we are
Som mes que un club
It’s easy for these guys to pander to Greene because it also fills the need that the Follow Followers have for a Saviour, they so want Green to be the One, they swallow swallow any ole guff so the fact that English is breaking ranks is as PF says refreshing but in the great scheme of things he was a cheerleader until Whytey scorched the earth with Agent Orange…
Amusing to see that a team with 500 million worldwide supporters who are going to storm Europe and I-pads across the Universe are now fourth in the fourth tier of Scottish Football.
As my Da’ used to say the league table does not lie!!

‘How otherwise sensible folk can fall for Greens nonsense is beyond me’

The SSE are keen to promote the hypothesis that numerous Scottish clubs are on the brink of financial ruin.
Odd that they missed the unhypothetical ruination of the Club on their doorstep until the stink from the corpse proved overwhelming.
Morning all. Bright here in North Ayrshire.
Worrying news about wee Oscar. May God be with him and his family today and every day.
Anyone know when BDO take over? Haven’t they the right to demand Ibrox and Murray Park be handed over to them to sell for the benefit of the creditors of thon deid team.
…PFayr
Apologies for that!
BUT – gambling is a mugs game! Ever seen a poor bookie?
Old pal of my dad’s – ex-miner from deepest Ayrshire who became a bookie and ended up with about 15(?). Had a couple in Ayr as well I believe. He’s been a tax-exile in the Isle of Man for about 20 years.

Charlie Green is the saviour … just like Craig Whyte was the saviour.
And they are both just naughty boys.
That awkward moment when you are scuba diving and you see ole LeCoist rolling in the deep.
Is Chico Verde counting the entire Scots-Irish descended population of the States and Canada in his estimate of 500 Million?
As English points out – the man is a great salesman, but as with even the best of salesmen, if you ask the right questions of them often enough they will move on to the next sales pitch with the next mug. One thing sales people hate is having their time wasted time after all being money – will be delighted to hear how many time wasters have registered an interest in Sevco Share Issue.
Stupid peeepul

Who will be the next ‘saviour’ when Green scarpers with the loot to join Craigy boy in the Cayman Islands?
Bummer Brown perhaps?!
