  1. Good evening Bhoys an Ghirls.

     

     

    I am home safe and well from my extended sojourn in Glasgow.

     

    Thanks to all CQNers for a brilliant weekend.

     

    Good game today, especially the 2nd half. Looks like we have found a cover for, if not a replacement for Emilio. Filip is the business.

    A big YES from me also. I’ve already text a donation to the hospice fund, as you would have expected, but will weigh you in on your next visit. Cash of course. :-))

    I agree that Man City deserved to win the EPL. They have the best balance between defence and attack, and have played most of the season with two strikers, resulting in 102 league goals for a manager who encourages attacking, attractive, but also sensible, football.

     

     

    However, only really great teams win 3-in-a-row, so they still have a way to go!

    Don’t need to give me any cash gents, just make a donation to the hospice is suffice.

  5. I don’t think I’m exaggerating when I say that there’s a big 15 minutes coming up in la liga now. It’s there for Atletico to win, or lose.

  6. Magnificentseven supporting Oscar all the way on

    From UTV :

     

     

    The life of little Oscar Knox, who died at the age of five after battling an aggressive form of cancer, has been celebrated at a funeral mass in Co Antrim.

     

    The ‘Mass of the Angels’ took place at St Bernard’s Church, Glengormley on Sunday ahead of a private cremation.

     

    Over 1,000 people attended the service which was celebrated by Fr Damian McCaughan, who described Oscar as “a symbol of bravery and goodness.”

     

     

    During the Mass, Oscar’s parents Stephen and Leona both spoke about their little boy’s brave battle with neuroblastoma and the love he had for his little sister Isobella.

     

    His dad told mourners: “Oscar meant the world and more to me and Leona.

     

    “But in all honesty, there are no words that could ever do him justice.

     

    “He was kind, caring, sensitive, loving, smart, mischievous and unbelievably funny.

     

    “He had the most wonderful little personality and uncanny ability to wrap people around his finger within seconds of meeting him – particularly female nurses.”

     

    He ended his tribute, saying: “I love you wee man. Best muckers forever.”

     

     

    Oscar’s white coffin was decorated with the characters Peter Pan and Tinkerbell from the child’s favourite film.

     

    His mum Leona told the packed church how she explained to her eldest child that he would soon be going to heaven.

     

    “We talked to him a few weeks ago about going on a journey to Neverland. We explained in Neverland there are no sore knees, no sore heads and no sore tummies.

     

    “Oscar had always told us that when he grew up he wanted to drive a big green tractor instead of a car and he was so excited to hear that Old McDonald lives in Neverland and allowed people to drive his big green tractor if they were five and a half.

     

    “The best thing about Neverland was the biggest dodie [dummy] shop in the world and that you got a new dodie every day,” she continued to laughs in the crowd.

     

     

    Both tributes were met with standing ovations from the mourners.

     

    Among those paying their respects were Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness, Belfast boxers Carl Frampton and Paddy Barnes and award-winning restaurateur Michael Deane.

     

     

    After Oscar was diagnosed with the disease at the age of two, the Knox family mounted a social media campaign in a bid to raise funding and awareness for treatment.

     

    In April last year, Wee Oscar was given the all-clear, but sadly the cancer returned a few months later and he passed away on Thursday afternoon.

     

    Over £25,000 has been raised through a special Just Giving page after the Knox family asked for donations to be made in lieu of flowers to Northern Ireland Children’s Hospice and the Haematology Unit at The Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children.

  9. Noticed Gary Hooper was a 58th minute sub for Norwich as they were relegated to the championship today, beaten 2-0 by Arsenal.

     

     

    Never in the reckoning for an England call up in a country with diminishing returns in the forward line.

     

     

    No world cup trip.

     

     

    No ill will for Gary but for all the extra cash was the risk worth it ?

     

     

    8 goals in 34 appearances and probably now going backwards career-wise, at least in the short term where he will face a new season in a new division under a new manager ?

    This Barcelona match reminds me of Celtic’s game at Easter Road in WGS’s last season.

     

     

    They look like they could play all week and not score.

    I held up all day till Lisa Hague held up a wee Oscar T shirt on passing us in112,

     

     

    Then I clicked on your link and seen Stephen Knox leading the cortege.

     

    “Only the proud walk tall”.

     

    A giant of a man.

  12. Atletico almost score from free kick in 90th minute. Hope it stays this way, so that a Camp Nou decider becomes a reality.

  13. The wonderfully named Willy Caballero gives us a shoot-out in Barcelona next Sunday!

  14. Only a win will do for Barca, as it would be their title on the head-to-head rule.

  15. HT – Yes please. Donation made on JustGiving.

     

     

    Many Thanks!
