Had a great time at the Celtic Supporters Association Rally last night. It was a great celebration of all that is good about our club, with thousands of pounds raised for the John Hartson Foundation. Neil Lennon spoke warmly of John, about his courage and ability. As well as recognising the great achievements of this season, CSA Player of the Year, Kris Commons, could not hide his disappointment that we are not going for a treble next week. Hibs will have their hands full with him at Hampden next week.
I’ve never heard a footballer talk as John Hartson did. He was clearly emotional as he took the microphone from the manager but soon go into his flow. He told us about the three hours spent in the car before telling his family the diagnosis of his illness. His achievements as a footballer are remarkable and John is very proud of them. His absence through injury in Seville clearly hurt. Did it pass a crucial advantage to Porto? John thinks so.
His own failings were put out there with the disarming confidence that only someone who has climbed a few personal mountains can do. The ‘hangers-on’, who filled his days a few years ago, had their cards marked.
Reamonn Gormley’s parents, Jim and Ann, were also guests of the Association. Jim asked me to pass on a thank you from him and Ann to all Celtic fans for what they have done for them and the Thai Tims in the last two years. Their world will never be the same again but the support they have received from the Celtic Family has overwhelmed them. Your community has done very well, but there is nothing new in that.
With supporters like we have our club is in good hands. Well done to all who carry out the thankless tasks running busses, organising fundraisers and keeping the moral compass pointing in the right direction.
Have you ordered your Willie Wallace autobiography yet? Signed copies available if you do so now……

BMCUW,
Whits wrang wI the first weekend in August ?
acgr.
Enjoy. .
Bmcuw
Hopefully it’ll be ok for me to attend end of September..
Canamalar. Ill probably be on phased return back to work by then so should be away early..
First thought i had about the mini huns was better being relegated this year and come straight back next season than fighting with a points penalty next season.
Then the old chess player in me had a wee strategic thought . From a tims point of view better for them to get a points reduction for next season go down the following season to div one, and if and its a very big if sevco are still on the go and manage to get out of their div .they would both be fighting each other to get out of div one in 2 years time. Although with play offs now in we would prob have them both back together .
Just have to hope they both go bust long before then.
H.H.
CANAMALAR
That was my first plan but Boots Corner was busy for a dizzy!
How you doing,bud?
One day you can show me the delights of The Dolphin,which coincidentally is the name of the boozer I’m in at the moment.
Sadly,the Swindon version,heyho….

Wolves have a one year option left on Griffiths which they have indicated they will take up – just long enough to sell him on, apparently.

Well,if I were him I would take their money,score a barrowload in their latest lowly division and see how it goes when I was on a Bosman.

Thems never hijacked the tunes, until the man that frequents the same areas as shergar and lord lucan turned up.
That’s the thing that gets my goat…the oalde rangers team hid in weirs and their fans hid in the yard….no disrespect to the the ones that picked up a gun rather than a wage packet.
BLANTYRE TIM
Hopefully so,mate.
You were mucho missed the last time but you did a sterling job co-ordinating events!

If he’s aulder than me, he deserves to drink us under the table. Haha

Entirely.
Leggat is a blowhard but Graham thinks he is some intellectual colossus (not exactly competition for that title in the constituency he purports to represent) and is there to put these upstart Fenians in their place.
Bring it on!
Anyone with any interest in the machinations of Scottish football right now is reading the internet revelations by CharlotteFakeover.
The longer the MSM ‘journos’ continue to ignore the real story emerging and continue to print distracting fluff, the more their rags look as informed and relevant as a primary 7 school newsletter.
watch ur fingers chaz, the ail doors about to slam shut

Green would also appear to have entered into a contract with Craig Whyte to establishand run Sevco 5088 and ensure that it acquired the Club Assets and thereafter totransfer control of Sevco 5088 to him. Similarly, Imran Ahmad entered into a contractwith Craig Whyte to raise funds for the acquisition by Sevco 5088. It is clear that thereis a prima facie case that both Green and Ahmad are in breach of contract and havecommitted the torts of conspiracy and deceit and potentially dishonest assistance and, inScotland, delict. There is possibly also an action against one or both of them for breachof trust.Mr Whyte can recover damages for breach of contract on the basis of putting him intothe position that he would have been in if that contract had been performed inaccordance with its terms. The measure of damages would likely be the value of theshares in Sevco 5088 that Mr Whyte would have held, such shares to be valued on the basis that the company holds the Club Assets

Enjoy your munchies. :))

If Real Madrid had won the cup last night, it would have been for the nineteenth time. Barcelona have 26 wins in the competition and Athletic Bilbao have 23.
Atlético Madrid’s win takes them onto 11.
Real Madrid will have to wait until next season to go for the nineteenth.
At least they’ll have the bus for the victory celebrations ready in time.

C’mon lottie it’s Saturday night and I have a wife to look after( no titters, she’s no well). You really are testing me

I reckon a court may take the view that Whyte’s shares/interest in the company is deemed to be worthless due to him being banned by the SFA

It can’t go to print until it’s authenticated or they would be be hung out to dry.
Their time is coming as we know.HH

These statements seem to me to sum up much of what CQN represents :
Three things in human life are important. The first is to be kind. The second is to be kind. And the third is to be kind. – Henry James
“Strange times are these in which we live when old and young are taught in falsehood’s school. And the one man who dares to tell the truth is called at once a lunatic and fool.” – Plato (429-347 BC)
I’m still uttterly b******d by radiotherapy and feeling so ill, but it’s good medicine to drop in on here and read the craic.

Hail hail
there is an article on rangers media.
A SERIOUS BREACH OF TRUST
if you read it, compare the outrage at what the RSC treasurer has done, with no comment from anyone about the people shafted by the oldco.
were is that list again.
I still find it hard to take anything the Sun’s John Hartson says seriously, yes great player and full sympathy for his troubles but working for the Sun? No excuse for it, as his report on Dundee away has shown.
Is there any reason why the cup final is on Sunday next week? Will miss it due to it being Sunday.
notthebus, 18:45
All true.
And then there is the matter of disclosure on the share issue.
As well as something else that Ms Fakeover has yet to post (criminal offence)

it looks like the good ol scottish msm take their infomation from comical ally and his cohorts..you might have thought that they could never ever repeat their errors of the foldco debacle, but almost hunbelievably they have done it again. i can understand the likes of leggat. etc being in denial but surely shug the rug and the other uncle tims would desert the sinking ship. something about fool me once…..comes to mind. oh well as long as jabba is still writing his book. its a sad day for the msm when even euan and roughie appear to be the more enlightened ones.
