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!

    Bobby M – Does the Don stay 3 mile though mo chara?

     

     

    Cue Card has improved remarkably.

     

     

    The Mullins horse could be the fly in the ointment.

     

     

    Probably just best to watch the race, and not even have a punt.

     

     

    Gonna try to make Leopardstown for the Lexus – Don Poli agus Road to Riches.

     

     

    Some sport.

     

     

    God bless ye Bobby M agus Nollaig Shona.

    Big Peat of Islay. You have a good point there fella but you get more for your money with the Buckie. However,win lose or draw on Sunday Ronny is still the man. H.H.

    16 ROADS

     

     

    It won its last three races over such distances,mate. Various goings too.

     

     

    Fingers crossed,looking good for my wee Tipp Trappist.

    Notwithstanding that the vast majority of the fholk who post here use an anonymous handle (and respect to TD and JF) it strikes me that TravellerBhoy’s is perhaps the most authentic voice on the blog.

     

     

    I wish him well, and trust the new year ahead brings good things.

    As an aside,I notice that E-Tims have had enough of the highly-charged offensive tit-for-tat.

     

     

    A lot of posts removed,more yellow cards than the Buenos Aires derby.

    Haircut done

     

     

    Rest of the day to luxuriate on loving forthcoming 5 in a row

     

     

    Merry Christmas sad sevcovians

  8. FFin’ political motivation and counter intelligence:

     

     

    “The last great bastion of unionism had to be smashed in the run up to the Indy vote.”

     

    ——

     

    “For the snp to gain independence they needed to break the unionists and rangers are the fabric which holds us together, so when the fenians saw there chance to destroy us the snp jumped on board….I expect it from the bitter twisted papes who now wield so much power and influence in Scottish society.”

     

    ——

     

    “The SNP have openly gone about relieving the papist vote from Labour as they could never get the power they crave without it.

     

    Years of priests etc ‘advising’ their congregations to vote for the socialist ticket has now gone and the rhat hordes have cheerfully switched allegiance to the Scots Nazi Party.

     

    They have abandoned one of the world’s most well known sports institutions to gain favour with the common rhat.”

     

    ——

     

    “Between the nationalists and the republicans we were caught in a perfect storm, we had been painted as a kind of ogre who no one would defend for fear of being labeled a vile bigot , we were defenseless and the bullies had there way with us .”

     

    ——

     

    “i seem to remember platini being wined and dined by that mob around that time.i wonder if they slipped hm a few bob to put pressure on us from a european perspective?”

     

    ——

     

    “Yes. Youre right. Platini was at the Old Firm match at the end of 2010 October maybe.”

     

    ——

     

    “However Rangers were a business that had a bank debt of 18 million pounds and a turnover three times or more higher.

     

    How many businesses or even individuals are themselves in such a secure position?

     

    There was the problem with the tax position in the background.

     

    However, rarely has such a publically loved, uniquely supported, historically founded, and community grounded company come under such ferocious attacks from a British bank, themselves being bailed out at the British public expense, without the least hint of concern from the political movers and shakers inside the nation.

     

     

    Further, when the weakness of the club became evident, there was no concern from those in public positions of power, instead the only appetite regarding such a vulnerable institution was one of ravenous hatred, determination to see it fail and a feeding frenzy from every angle determined to see a ‘coup de gras’ [The fat blows are the worst Sammy.] and an end to almost 140 years of sporting excellence.

     

    This just wouldn’t happen in any other decent nation on the planet.

     

    Rangers were attacked on all sides by Roman Catholic sectarian bigots and depraved Scottish

     

    Nationalists, both of whom saw our weakness and went for the throat.”

     

    ——

     

    “One name at root of all of this Peter Reid!!”

     

    ——

     

    “Holy Willie’s , Dossier that will pin them to the floor , The establishment team .All said by a Home secretary at the time ….

     

    There are non so blind as those who cannot see .

     

    They are up to their necks in this

     

    They thought they would get away with it in the background .Pulling strings and it would all be smoothed over and no one would be any wiser

     

    But they were so blatant with their placemen that it will at some point come back to haunt them .

     

    Their land deals ,film schemes and dodgy bank loans ..

     

    We know it is there just keep digging and the tide will turn .”

     

    ——

     

    “The day this is all out in the open can’t come quick enough. And certain folk who have rubbished our club will have to pay the piper for their actions.”

     

    ——

     

    “I think we need a [Sevco] vigilance committee that fights, sues and generally slams anyone who spews lies and hatred and has every bit of the record corrected. Somewhere the fans can submit things too and help shape policy of the club maybe the [Sevco] fans groups are too official and too nice to sue the bad guys.”

     

    ——

     

    “Been saying something similar for ages, we need to get organised. We need a counter intelligence unit made up of tough, connected and social media savvy [Huns].”

    Wish you nothing but health, happiness, and all the luck in the world mate, and a safe journey on your new path in life, all the very best…..Hail Hail.

     

    Tony Donnelly.

  10. Flippin’ heck, do you think FF-ers sit typing out this garbage dressed in an all brown uniform? Scary stuff….but funny…

     

     

    My favourite though is:

     

     

    “Been saying something similar for ages, we need to get organised. We need a counter intelligence unit made up of tough, connected and social media savvy [Huns].”

     

     

    Basically translates to “somebody should do something about this…but not me…”

  11. Just about to hit the sack on Christmas Eve so I will wish each and everyone of you and your families a very Merry Christmas. Peace be with you all, hope yer day is full of food fun and laughter.

     

     

    Take a moment to remember the dearly departed football teams and those less fortunate than ourselves, the cream buns. Merry Christmas to you Paul67 and thanks for keeping your door open even when it gets hot in here. I don’t know if I have met any of you but I am glad to know you all. Take care. Hail hail.
