Well done to CQN’ers Eddie and Michael who answered the call from Glasgow, the Caring City, last week. They and a few others loaded 20 tons of clothes (and some soap products) onto the back of a truck, which arrived in Serbian on Monday. All clothes will be distributed to refugees before Christmas.
20 tons is a big truckload – enough to clothe 12,000 people. Getting practical help to people in crisis areas of the world is difficult for those of us sitting thousands of miles away, but Glasgow the Caring City make it possible for us to get involved. Warm weather clothing and personal hygiene products are a staple human right, but as you know, there many families are in flux this winter.
Absolutely delighted we have recalled Ryan Christie, from his loan at Inverness, where he has been since we signed him from them in August. Walking away from Celtic Park on Saturday, when we failed to create enough chances, thoughts immediately turned to Ryan, a creative mid. I wondered how long it would take for us to ‘recall’ him.
In the coming months he’ll need support as he managed the move away from home and into the metropolis, so give him 10 minutes before starting the online petitions!

One thing that shocked me on my first visit to Sachsenhausen, Berlin, was that it did not close until 1955!

There were a lot of hellholes for the working-class in the inter-war years. All of them.
Agree absolutely.
The virtue of Gray’s book is that it illustrated that institutional sectarianism was only one of thy ills that affllicted Belfast’s poor.- See more at: http://www.celticquicknews.co.uk/christie-in-the-city-aid-to-refugees/comment-page-3/#comments

The devil is always in the detail. Get that wrong then so is the narrative and a defense can be based on the errors in the narrative.
Treat with caution I say.
Auldheid,
I treat all you guys with caution especially my siblings ;-)

Phil mentions the fact that the £5m still hasn’t been paid – gasl is a very sensible and sentimental fellow and will asking santa to put the readies straight into Mike Ashleys stocking
Of course – if santa doesn’t do so gasl can claim it wasn’t his fault

This blog has provided you with a platform to write and attract an audience of which I’m a member. Throw in a little notoriety to boot and I find it difficult to understand your recent pessimistic rhetoric.
I will see your play, I bought your book and have listened to you speak …..the sole reason for that is this blog, as otherwise its doubtful our paths would have crossed.
I appreciate that your career amounts to much more than the blog but as a supporter of your work (most of it) I find the repeated uncharacteristical self pity agonising.
Despite your talent in writing, in all its forms, your gift, your true gift, the one that resonates, is your belief. Your belief that the Irish suffered and suffer political and social injustice. An injustice that was enforced at home in Ireland and dispensed at will to those who wanted a better life eleswhere.
As a boy my grandfather was rented out to fruit farmers during the summer months. As a man he tended a farm where the cows had running water and his family did not.
My dad walked six miles to school and like his dad worked(not rented) in orchards and fruut canneries.(no stopping progress). In the winter he had to break the ice on top of the barrel to wash, a habit that remained with him as for most of his working life he washed at the kitchen sink daily drowning, literally drowning the kitchen in cold water despite having a bath and shower. Even today he finishes his shower cold and goes through a warming up ritual.
As the time of moving to Scotland my dad the eldest boy of five was a prominent footballer on the verge of the county game. Suffice to say that of the siblings he found it most difficult. He went went from the popular scholar and sportsman to “hey Paddy”……..overnight.
My Grandfather was a slave to construction industry in Glasgow, yet despite his size, bullied by the economics and “upper working class” of the time. He died when I was young. Sadly some of my memories of him are of an angry man.He wasn’t a drinker though he couldn’t afford it, he went to the pub at Christmas and bought a bottle for any festive visitors. He worked himself to ill health. His parting “gift” to my Gran was a mortgage free tenement and £9 savings.
£9 eh
Gift my arse !!!!!
My grandmother raised five kids, worked in a factory, had lodgers who were young Irish men looking for work and they ate much better than my Granda that’s for sure.
At some point in their lives both of them forged a love that saw them through. But there was no time for love in their house, there was work and not a lot of money. By the time the hard work was done my Granda was dead and despite working as a cleaner until she was nealry 80 what time my Gran had for “fun” was snatched from her by dementia.
So my point is this Phil.
If for one second you think that this blog is about Rangers or Sevco your wrong. Or simply a crusade against the Scottish Main Stream Media , your wrong. To some it is but to many the issues raised during this saga highlight what we all know.
Irish racisim in Scotland in its many forms.
It’s much more sophisticated than what it was …..but that’s progress. These issues remain in our society our politics and our media.
It is the backbone of our nation’s favourite sport which sacrifice’s honesty, transparency and fairness over entitlement and superiority.
I dont often swear but Sevco are nothing more than the feckin side show and an extinguishing pilot flame of what once was
Don’t let the SMS or your other projects tire you. The message and the strories that you tell in your plays are thought provoking (hopefully more lucrative)….. but the facts, well quite simply ….. ” they aren’t fiction” and its important they are exposed by people like you who have that belief.
A last thought for those I discussed today. I have a much better life today than they could have dreamed of. That’s is partly down to progress but I like to think most of it is down to them and what they have instilled.
Merry Christmas
I’m off for a hot shower that they can keep.

This one is the latest in a long series that presents a potpourri of facts, conjecture, opinion and antipathy wrapped up as some sort of informed analysis. It’s not. It’s disingenuous and disinforming gum bumping.
Andrew Dickson has never been employed by the SFA. He was on the Club Licensing Committee as a member representative. Andrew Dickson’s misdemeanours are considerable, but there’s no benefit in misstating the facts as it serves only to undermine the (good) argument that he should be brought to book. Ask Auldheid for the gen there.
Vincent Lunny was not involved in the LNS inquiry. LNS was a SPL commissioned inquiry, led (appallingly) by Rod McKenzie for the SPL. Vincent Lunny was the SFA’s Compliance Officer, and had nothing at all to do with the SPL.
Pumping out disinformation on LNS and related matters serves to undermine the Res 12 process. Is that the point?
Merchant Turnaround, Ticketus and £28 Million: Again, we’re crossing facts and presenting a misleading and inaccurate picture. Ticketus remain a Creditor on the Liquidator’s list, for the full amount of £27,211,671.63 as far as the most recent notice from BDO is concerned.
Ticketus won their case against Whyte for £17.7M plus interest and costs, leading to Whyte’s bankruptcy. This amount is the total sum that they could claim against Whyte under personal and corporate guarantees, not the total sum they are due from Rangers plc, which is noted in the Creditors’ List.
Merchant Turnaround plc is a company associated with Whyte and Phil Betts. MT plc (apparently) claim Whyte/Wavetower owes them £1 (one) Million, not £9M odd, or £11M which JJ “deduces” they fronted.
There are a number of other creditors of Wavetower claiming funds were placed unlawfully, the Trustees of Jerome Pension Fund being one. There has been no movement on this for some period of time, perhaps pending cirminal court outcomes. Who knows. Not JJ it seems.
The repeated assertions around the relative merits of given court cases is the biggest red flag. Every case is arguable and argued from opposing legal perspectives. There is no credibility in stating the outcome as inevitable. The latest seems to be the leave to appeal the Court of Session decision on the big tax case being sought by BDO. There are no grounds to appeal, and leave to appeal will be denied according to JJ. Bollocks. It may or may not be granted, but the legal world (of which I am not part) will be astounded of forehead if leave is not granted, not least as the CoS decision introduced a novel interpretation of the Law.
The recurring “Dave King Bad” theme of his blogs may or may not be grounded in fact, I don’t know the circumstances around King’s acquisition of considerable wealth, but it all smells of someone who has a personal dislike for the man, an axe to grind rather than a point to make. It serves no rational purpose beyond some sort of campaigning. Was JJ a Pensioner of the Umgeni fund? That’s more likely than that he’s some experienced man o’ pairts in the business world.
I don’t understand the point of attempting to present oneself as an informed professional while consistently getting the facts wrong. Tort is Delict. Ltd Companies are PLCs. Facts are Fiction. Perhaps it’s deliberate, more likely it’s just some poor, isolated soul enjoying the attention drawn from some grandstanding while grinding his Dave King axe in public.
Read it. Have a laugh. Apply copious salt to what you ingest.

Minor details :-)
Seriously wow, must admit I didn’t realise it was that bad, you learn something every day, thanks, I will pay more attention in future.
Your point about res 12, you could well have something there, it got me to thinking, most of the Celtic sites have asked posters not to talk about the up and coming court cases, even on a couple of hun sites the same.
yet JJ is spouting stuff every other day, could it be to jeopardize them ?
Thanks.
HH
I had a quick read of that latest JJ blog and unlike the previous where small errors in detail occurred I thought it spot on re LNS especially that the SFA and SPFL know about the DOS ebts and have done nothing.
I welcome the wider dissemination of the story with the msm who made enquiries and were well briefed in one case, so far failing to report on what JJ has written.
The inescapable conclusion from LNS (and UEFA 2011 licence) is that RFC had become so much a part of the organic structure of Scottish football governance it became impossible to kill them off without killing the body they both formed.
As a result the main body acted to save itself with all concern for what makes football the sport that it is abandoned..
So a cover up was organised and ONLY the, silence of the succulent lambs is keeping the truth from both the wider and the footballing public.
I see Phil Mac Giolla Bhain mention that the media in London are taking an interest and from reading JJ’S blogs I am pretty certain that the songsheet that JJ is singing from is the same as the London guys have in great detail. Only the court cases where the same detail is available from witnesses are keeping the lid on for now.
If I were the smsm I would seriously start repositioning themselves so that when the full story is finally aknowledged they can justify their silence.
Tic follows toc, follows tic, follows toc.

Wow. What an account.

At a funeral today and cousin says because I don’t go 2 many games I should give my ticket for tynecastle to fans that go every week. I’m still laughing now. cant wait till Sunday. Into those cunts.
jamesgang…
Glad you liked it big chap, the bloke nailed how a lot of us feel how our parents/ grandparents and great grandparents were treated.
It is nothing like that now but there is still a hard core that want to keep us in a place that they deem fit.
The fight goes on. HH ya big charmer.

TBB is right to suggest caution even although in his latest blog JJ is a lot more accurate on the LNS Commission than he has been others.
However anyone who took the time to read all the SFM blogs could have produced the latest JJ.
I’m quite happy with that aspect as it gets the narrative into the wider conciousness.
As I told JJ in a previous blog ‘s comments section.
In the kingdom of the blind the one eyed man needs to take care not to poke his one eye out.
