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.

If Scotland, Croatia + Belgium win their games tonight, then Scotland need a point in Brussels or it really will be all over
Ramsay should be off the park after diving there. Ref bottled it, as did Provan by saying “I’m not convinced”

Ramsey should have scored
Ramsey’s a sand dancer…

`..so drastic that you would hardly believe it could exist in modern-day Britain`.

Blimey!
Never offside the ball came back out to him..
Shocking decision from the lino.
Got it wrong twice
Bristol Bhoy…no idea…but I’d expect so. You’d need to call them. I know you’ll be busy, as we all are, and itll take an effort…but for me it’s too important to ignore. The Celtic shirt is too important.
The ball left the field of play ?
Does he think the balls gone out because he’s never offside?
I’m with you Tallybhoy…not sure the PLC are though…hence why the vote is crucial!!
EDB
Recall a certain club withdrawing players from international duty
who were fit to play for their club on a Saturday.
Imo it is legitimate to withdraw a player who cannot play
for his club through injury.
Pen Wales
Shocking, perfectly good goal chalked off and dive gets a penalty at the other end
No penalty, German MIBBERY
1 1
Reminds me of Motherwell’s penalty season before last,player trips himself.

Managed to send it from my PC, THANKS ………. When I used my iPad, it said “server won’t accept”‘ for some reason……….
Bale tripped over himself….shocker! Levein ain’t good or lucky….

Was away for a couple of days in Poland so been trying to catch up
Thoughts to consider on chucky’s rabble rousing are this. There are two things at play which are forcing the timing, which on the face of it is poor
1. OG last week tipped us the wink that mr. off the radar was being dragged to court over a fairly trivial issue which in (I think) lucky luciano style may lead to other things for himself and more importantly others
And
2. The “wait till a wet November night in wherever” moment is almost upon us. Don’t know about where you are but in Abz it’s been pissing down and starting to look like winter.
Whatever he (and the other con man Sally) are going to get out of this before it collapses again is going to have to be soon
With 1 if dragged in they may be stopped in their tracks with floatation and dip into administration due to no working cash. With 2 getting dragged into muddy battles on ploughed fields (no doubt on tv) and languishing mid table is going to be less appealing to the orcs
oldjunglebhoy
I like your style sir keep posting
HAIL HAIL
Leslie Nielsen and the bhoys are taking some doing
Tallybhoy,
Did you get my “quotes” explanation the other night……..!!!!?

Scotland goal not offside- it was a goal kick from the beast.
It was a mile offside.
What does it matter if it was a goal kick from McShagger?
SPF
Scotpatsfan, the linesman waved on for the initial faze then called offside for the cross which patently wasn’t
SPF
Cant be offside from a goal kick….it’s in the rules.
6 of the best. Argh!
How did Charlie Adam ever get to be a professional football player…
Some player, Bale, eh ?
Levein – shoogly peg?

Gareth bale 2 Scotland 1
Levein out of a job come Wednesday, probably just as well.
Scotland out. Levein must go. Wales a one man team and we can’t nullify him. Very poor.
