Christie in the city, aid to refugees

350


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!

    I normally take his stuff with a pinch of salt, and his predictions have been way off in the main.

     

    Prob is trying to remember everything that has happened, a fair amount when you think about it.

     

    Keep on keeping on, and don’t let the feckers get you down.

    I read your post on jj’ blog and nearly fell off my chair :)

     

     

    The more that write, the more virul the message gets…ps…he has mentioned yourself in blogs.

     

     

    Obviously reads your work and maybe plagiarises it…what’s not to like! HH

  3. TBB-your good self too mate,at this time the support need guys with knowledge and heart to get the justice we need. HH

    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.

     

    ———-

     

    I’m sure they will find a way to re-write history. Wouldn’t be the first time!

  5. Auldheid,

     

     

    Thanks for keeping that “auld heid” of yours over the last couple of days, in spite of the ridiculous provocation. Many of us appreciate the great work you do for Celtic and football in general. Hopefully, the truth will out and sooner rather than later.

  6. Hail Hail to my “fellow travellers”

     

    Such fantastic and caring folk

     

    The salt of the earth

     

    I’m so proud to have had an association with this great site

     

    Paul67 Thank you

     

     

     

    I stumbled on here a few years ago

     

    In despair

     

    Half cut and wholly broken

     

    I’d stumbled from other places

     

    About alcoholism depression and yes

     

    Suicide

     

    Low

     

    But

     

    I still needed Celtic

     

    And thank ghod

     

     

     

     

    You collectively embraced me

     

    Encouraged me

     

    Inspired me

     

    Educated me

     

    Met me

     

    And loved me

     

     

     

     

    I started posting my problems

     

    Talking

     

    Honestly

     

    Something I never did before

     

    And it was

     

    A relief

     

     

     

     

    Obviously

     

    The subject matter

     

    Didn’t belong here

     

    But it did

     

    It really did

     

    From your reaction

     

    You embraced me

     

    I want to thank each and every one of you

     

     

     

     

    My marriage

     

    Was repaired

     

    After over 3 years

     

    But

     

    About a month ago

     

    It broke again

     

     

     

    But don’t worry

     

    I”lol be home for Christmas

     

    The healing process is an ongoing

     

    Process

     

    I have an addictive personality

     

    And sadly my phone is a problem

     

    And it has to go

     

    Back to a basic nokia for work

     

    I don’t use computers

     

     

     

    So

     

    What I’m saying is

     

    I won’t be posting in 2016

     

    Not flouncing

     

    Just

     

    Healing

     

    Repairing

     

    And moving on

     

    To something too important to fail

     

     

     

    I”ll miss lurking

     

    All the familiar names

     

    The real news

     

    The barneys

     

    The laughter

     

    The love

     

     

     

    Keep the faith

     

    My Celtic family

     

    Your more important than you’ll ever know

    I have enjoyed our chats, brief as they were.

     

     

    be well. Hopefully, we will see you back on here in the future.

  8. End of year report

     

     

    Craig Gordon Has suffered second season syndrome with his first being a hard act o follow, the shot stopper supreme’s form has seriously dipped at crucial times

     

     

    Mikel Lustig Surprisingly stayed ‘Lustig fit ‘ which has allowed more game time than could have been predicted, the big Swede has had a pretty torrid time, whilst trying to get up and down the Celtic right

     

     

    Saidy Janko Looked promising until he was injured and remains sidelined

     

     

    Efe Ambrose Took the usual flak and bounced back with some solid performances, but likely to remain a back up player since losing his place in the Celtic sieve system

     

     

    Dedryck Boyata Slipped effortlessly into Efe’s boots, but has confounded the boo boys with more stability as the season has gone on. Good buy, considering his paltry price tag

     

     

    Jozo Simunovic Started badly from being injured, and then quickly being injured again. Shows promise, clearly a work in progress, and the jury is still very much out on the young Croatian

     

     

    Emilio Izzaguire ‘The best left sided full back for many a year’ has seen his crown slip after some poor performances. Never a great defender, will be around CP for a long while yet

     

     

    Charlie Mulgrew Has never gotten going this season through long term injury, and will be well into the new year before the Scottish international has another chance to stake a claim. Pressed into action, in a bizarre on off appearance in the Europa League

     

     

    Kieran Tierney No nonsense straightforward left footer, who has relieved senior players of a jersey, and some man of the match performances. High hopes if he continues to develop.

     

     

    Scott Brown Another Celt to have succumbed to injury, the skipper had a great spell earlier in the season with his inimitable midfield dynamism. A team player that’s easy to miss and very hard to replace.

     

     

    Stefan Johansen Where were you when Stefan missed against Malmo? – Last season’s engine of the year, has been backfiring since August, and failed to play to his strengths, needs to get his head down

     

     

    Nir Bitton Suffering from new contractitis, the silky Israeli is an undoubted Celtic star so far this year. Would do well from a rest, and a back to basics from the good midfielders guide book.

     

     

    Tyler Blackett Whatever wasn’t happening at Man Utd isn’t happening at Celtic, looks uncomfortable and unlikely to feature in the New Year.

     

     

    Scott Allan The former Hibs prospect has taken his time to settle, but shown in flashes that he can play a rare forward pass. Tons of games ahead where he can fill in the hole in the Celtic attack.

     

     

    Tom Rogic Pushed his way into the Celtic side and found a scoring touch, the big guy can compete. Tends to tire , but has done well to come back from an miserable start.

     

     

    Kris Commons The old man still has that left peg and has regularly proved Celtic’s best creative midfielder. Doesn’t like to lose, and will produce when the chips are down, i.e. Istanbul

     

     

    Stuart Armstrong Disappointment with a capital d for Armstrong , who suffers from isolation and chalk on his boots. Sparkling start quickly faded when Scottish defences saw his only option

     

     

    Callum McGregor Surprise re – inclusion paid off, and still a manager’s favourite. Hard working young player, who tends to be anonymous until he shoots.

     

     

    Gary MacKay Steven A year on, and out of the picture, the tricky wide player has drifted so wide he’s off the teamsheet. The bosman player has a tough job ahead on the big stage.

     

     

    James Forrest All the player he’ll ever be now, and an ace from committing Celtic to another long term contract. Plays at a higher pace than everyone else, but may always lack that ‘something ‘.

     

     

    Leigh Griffiths Top scorer at Celtic (law of averages helps) the former Hibee has seen off the doubters, and is likely to be the main man, unless we find him a proper challenger.

     

     

    Nadir Ciftci Surprise number one target for the Celtic striking role, has failed to produce this year. Another with a tough road ahead, with major deficiencies in his game

     

     

    Carlton Cole Shock out of contract punt that could be fit for Christmas (next year) great song but so had Paddy McCourt.

     

     

    Anthony Stokes Hasn’t featured and seeing strugglers ahead of him in the queue wasn’t what he wanted, and seems certain to move down a club, before he’ll get a game

     

     

    Aidan Nesbitt Given half a chance in the cup at CP, didn’t get into the game..

    Some of your stuff is incredibly profound – some I could read, others I could not.

     

     

    As they say round here, when you are on your travels – take it steady.

    All the best for Christmas and may next year be a wholesome one. HH

  13. Well done to both Eddie and Michael as in Paul 67 note

     

     

    And delighted we will be seeing Ryan Christie in the hoops soon, when will he be fit though ? I heard he was out until at least February ?

     

     

    Hail Hail

  16. The Huddle

     

     

    Surely it should be a problem for the board though? That they are not turning up and spending more money? Maybe they should be asking them why they arnt turning up?

     

     

    Jamesgang,

     

     

    Your right it could be said that Celtic have failed to fill that void that they left and give the club a new sense of purpose. Bit like Scottish Fitba we have been blinkered but once the blinkers were off we were blinded by the light.

     

     

    Ryan Christie is like a new signing…..

  17.

    You have thanked the blog but we should also thank you for your amazing contribution

     

     

    A great example of how the Celtic family can help each other and very welcome when CQN is going through a period of rifts between some posters which can turn on each other with little respect being shown.

     

     

    Hope to see you on here in future .
