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.

Agree, with the proviso there is of course ‘the bid’ and not just the usual wishful thinking of Scotland’s MSM.
Wanyama Izzguirre Kayal etc have already gone, a millions times.
its all about getting the priorities in proper order folks,
nice wee story
When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 Beers.
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full.. The students responded with a unanimous ‘yes.’
The professor then produced two Beers from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand.The students laughed..
‘Now,’ said the professor as the laughter subsided, ‘I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things—your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions—and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car.. The sand is everything else—the small stuff.
‘If you put the sand into the jar first,’ he continued, ‘there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life.
If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you.
Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.
Spend time with your children. Spend time with your parents. Visit with grandparents. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and mow the lawn.
Take care of the golf balls first—the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the Beer represented. The professor smiled and said, ‘I’m glad you asked.’ The Beer just shows you that no matter how full your life may seem, there’s always room for a couple of Beers with a friend.

St Mirren fan telling them facts about attendances.
They don’t like it

Superb!!!
Snake-The media campaign to talk down anything positive in Scottish football is sickening………..that doesn’t include the “remarkable” attendances at Ipox.The free ticket scam not discussed anywhere.

I think I’ll trust the coaches.
Of course, there are no sure things at that stage.
As the series is in the can, the winning boy is already into his contract.
I think he scored recently in one of the Youth games.
No harm in keeping the club’s profile high in Ireland, where we are treated as a bit of a Cinderella club by, in particular, RTE.
It’s a pity that the show is screened in the Children’s TV sector.
BIGbones8867 –
I really liked that. And, coincidentally, I have precisely 2 beers in my fridge, 1 for each half of tonight’s football fest which I’ll be watching with friends! And before any jokes start of my drinking capabilities, I’m driving early tomorrow morning…
I am into this Sevco mob for £50,000. Och yer a terrible man Ted…

Yup but why does our scouting improve when Lenny arrives ?

Penalty Slovakia
Hamsik scores
1-0 vs Latvia
Two questions: Will a prospectus be sent to everyone who registers and would it cost more if they were overseas?
2-0 Slovakia
Free kick goes straight in

Ireland 10/1 to beat Germany, Broony anytime scorer 8/1. Fiver on each.
What will I do,watch Ireland or Leveins lamentables,no contest.HH
Hi all,
First post this afternoon and was given the traditional welcome!!
Thoughts with wee Oscar, what a brave wee bhoy.
Super Joe and KC to score tonight.
thomthethim
I think that only works in Ireland – I’m on the phone just now but will try laptop later
Epic mess up
1 verse of flower of Scotland and then straight into Welsh anthem.
Scotland fans still singing over the Welsh one.
With the Barca double header coming up, I’m worried about KC/Joe/Broony on that slippy pitch.
Tenner on KC for first scorer!

Don’t go forgetting CQNers.

German national anthem just murdered by the pipers. Different anyway.
Headtheball
or
beautiful pipes tortured by very dour national anthem
ROW Z – Let Celtic Flourish by the Cleansing of the ‘den!
Depends what way you look at it. I must admit I hate the pipes so maybe I’m biased.
Evening bhoys.
Football, if you can call it that :>)
I am rooting for scotland tonight, more Tims in the side than Wales have.

Thanks for the mention earlier for John Paul Academy pupils .
After Charles Green’s comments today, one must conclude he is either:
a. A cynical rabble-rouser
b. Getting a bit desperate
c. A total loon
I tried to send an email to WeeOscar4Life@gmail.com, but servervwouldn’t accept…. Any idea why not ?
Or a desperate, cynical, rabble-rousing LOOOOON…
