Where to start on last night’s CQN11 St Patrick’s Dinner? We knocked it out the park. Hundreds came, thousands of pounds were raised, enough to help Mary’s Meals build a kitchen for a thousand more school kids in Malawi, and a £5,000 donation to Lisa Hague’s 30k Challenge for Marie Curie Challenge for Cancer Care.
My sincere thanks to everyone who came along and made the night so special, especially those who stepped forward and helped Mary’s Meals and Lisa’s Challenge. The night could not have happened without Phil Agnew’s experience, work and charm. He is a credit to everything good about the Celtic support.
Special thanks to Tom Boyd, John Hughes, Joe Miller and Tommy Coyne, who added range to the night at the Q&A session. Thanks to Stuart Armstrong, who dropped in to spend an hour with us, and share some of his undisguised joy at being a Celtic player.
Archie Macpherson spoke about the world Jock Stein blew apart when he arrived at Celtic 50 years ago this week. Archie’s range on Scottish football is peerless. He became a friend and confidant of Jock, and gave us an insight into the extraordinary man.
No St Patrick’s Night would be complete without great music and for that our thanks to Patricia Ferns and Liam McGrandles, and a special mention those who put their shoulder to the wheel on the night, especially Geo from Biglens and the great hospitality staff at Celtic.
I’ve many people to catch up with but I’m planning to sleep for the next several days. Cup Final apart.
If all weekends were like this weekend………
If all gatherings were like Celtic gatherings……….

If you mean the whelk shop in the Gallowgate ( there was one in London Rd) then that was my first weekend job as a teenager at school cleaning whelks and mussels. I think it was called The Oyster Bar.
The cleaning work was done in the cellar below with an old fella who looked as if he had been trapped there for years. Gills seemed to be forming.
I lasted 3 weekends as I felt that a coating of slime formed after each shift and it ruined my chances of a lumber in Barrowland.
I think the movie ” Creature from the Black Lagoon” was out around then and I felt association with that or the lingering smell of washed whelks countered my natural charm and ricket free good looks.
The spent whelks scattered around Moncur St also got their revenge as they acted as a high speed roller skating trip trap on the evenings when we raced each other up and down that tarmacadam avenue.
Kids nowadays eh!.
They don’t know what they are missing.
gordon64,
Agree. I hope Scott doesn’t try to atone for something he has need to.

Delaneys,
so there is a “weed” that you don’t like :-)))
When DD visited our wee club last month I pointed out to him the Zero policy we had when came to irregular coffin nails.
God love him he accepted it with grace :-)
If we win there will be celabrations across the globe from Rutherglen to Melbourne and all towns in between. There is only one footballl club on the planet that can create that interest. It’s the world famous Celic from Glasgow.
bgx,
One job then that they’re making a good fist of :-)

I think Scott will play like Roy Keane when he was going mental at Patrick Viera in the tunnel.
I didn’t realise the actual date and why Scott would behave like a normal human.
Ronny and Broonie, thumbsup – Ronny has improved Scott as a player.
The Celtic Massive will be Supporting Broonie Big Time!!!!
I see Livingston managed to get 4 players booked from 6 free-kicks.
Sevco? No yellow cards from 7 fouls.

James Connolly is my hero.

i was worried all day
nervous, horrible feeling in my stomach that i had posted something terrible last night while drunk
had i slagged off cqn11, and made an arse of myself.
read back, i didnt.
all the guys who could afford £50 had a great time.
back slaps all round
seriously, was there any effort any where to take along a local tim, who couldnt afford it ?
making a difference to the rest of the world is brilliant, building schools, kitchens, its utterly utterly fantastic.
was a moment spent on the guys who want to take part but cant for pure money
?

16 ROADS favourite delicacy is smashing stuff!
If yer not too keen on it,but still have some,put it in a chili or a curry. Disnae half bring out the bite in it.
St Stivs welcome to my world. HH
Saint Stivs,
thought you made a valid point last night,
some of the comments made in reply were pretty poor in my opinion
Saint Stivs,
Your drunken thoughts are shared by many drunks.
Apologies if ye wurnae drunk.
The Almighty, and 16 Roads Nailed it, Be Delighted that Celtic people are middle class people noo.
Praise people who are doing well.

Secret Societies will always try to Deny the Divinity of Christ. There are Religions that make a mockery of Christ and that Divinity.
