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……….

Jamesgang, Jimkyredstar, Eurochamps, Micktt, ACGR (legend), Embramike, HT&Minx, OldTim, TT and his lovely wife; tttt; Fred, Gerry and the legend that is Lennybhoy…
Thank you.
leftclicktic-you were missed.
I think CQN 12 should cross the Irish sea…
HH
come on now bhoys you know how it works with a managerial
change… the team all seem to play better so they keep their
place in the new man’s squad….
livi would have won if kenny was still in charge… :-)))
What was cowdenbeath score
I’ve applied for the position of Zombies director for Tuesday-Fri next week. Zero-hours contract.
Can’t do Monday, will be hungover.
Should be fun.
I know I shouldn’t but I think it is only right to congratulate plucky Livingstone. Beaten in their previous 5 games, they settle for a draw against the mighty deid team, out of the goodness of their wee hearts. Aw the nice.

“I saw a headline today ‘worlds first penis replacement’ really!!!”
That’s no way to announce the new Rangers manager
****
My mind was on the board but same train of thought :-)

Hi mhate; dying to meet him. Took me two years to meet Lennybhoy but in my defence I’m not the brightest.

I think the players will really up their game and hopefully McCall will instruct them to press the opposition longer than 10 minutes like they would normally do.
3-0.
Hopefully we at least see a greater level of effort and commitment from the players.
I predict McCall to get off to a winning start with a 3-0 win. :21:
You almost feel sorry for all that Sevcoconian enthusiasm yesterday.
But then again ….

Please get the spelling right ….beers = bare erses …. Hahahahahahaha
Beers = berrs …. :)
The Huns must be REALLY rotten if a ref called Dallas can’t help them win. He did try with Hunners of injury time, though.
roy croppie –
I know (as does EC67 I think) which drinking establishment he will be in pre-game tomorrow. Email me at jobobaldie@yahoo.co.uk if you want the password ;-)
I’m torn between their venue and where I first met you (The Vogue?).
Still waiting on my bhoy’s decision on whether he’s driving or not.
Great night at the kds … In the company of too many good bhoys and ghirls to mention
Gotta say that some of you scrub up well :)
After party drinks in arta with sipsini Johnny the Tim. Acgr and my mad pal dan the man
Ended up sitting in the window lounge of the millennium hotel eating sandwiches and drinking lager until 5am with Acgr ;)))))
And today – a little dose of reality!!!
“Livingston have lost 5 games in a row before we played them.
That is how bad we are.”
Erchie McPherson says sevco have sunk to a new low also takes it as a positive for mullet as he now knows what lies ahead, hehehe
Oh well, I was considering not going into work tomorrow, no chance I’ll miss it now. hop skip and jump time with my scarf on…oh’ how good will that go down ;-)))
Here’s for the treble /..
Big hoose had a few empty rooms 35k today -))
Just looked at my Facebook page and there’s a picture of a banner at Ipox,it reads ” When the sound of the battle is over shoulder to shoulder we’ll stand.” Are those not the words to Bobby Sands? Investigation into an offensive flag I think.
Anybody oot there would think sevco aren’t payin wages with these results

Was reading back and saw your posts last night.
Almore put a post up in Welsh and I replied, in GoogleWelsh, ‘Welcome. Are you a Hun?’
It was just a joke. Sorry if you were offended but I can’t see how.
Anyhow, looking forward to the lambing updates :) HH
Archie, putting a few home truths on the table to the huns, “why is Sally not helping with the other volunteers”? …nice one :)
I should never do lists I missed TBJ (who adds Goa sunshine to my life) and the best dressed Celt Jobo and his lovely wife Patricia.
Jobo, I’m watching the game with my mum tomorrow but thanks for that mhate; will take you up on it in the future if that is ok?
HH
JMccormick
Aye, apologies for the delayed reply. I was on Etims for years and I remember you from there.
Maybe we should form a clique. *ducks*
Is it a 30k plus crowd that triggers yet more onerous contracts at eyepox?
McCoist, the man who cannot be critised by the msm, under any circumstances, has crippled the fledgling club by his wreckless spending.
As culpable as any throughout the great scandal and still bleeding them from the garden shed.
And to think of the abuse NFL received.
Roy –
No worries. And thanks for the kind sentiments. Might wear that tie to the ole vigil mass tonight ;-)
Elbows big rallying cry fell on overpaid deaf ears it would seem..
Jobo Baldie
Class mhate; felt like a scuff HH
The pundits are slaughtering the Zombie players and talking about watching dross.
They have yet to say that this is Ally’s squad.
Credit to Archie who says that it is time for Ally to walk away and free up a few quid for players.

This is a repost and I must thank all those who have already kindly given of their time.
Squire junior is doing his dissertation on the effects of the Offensive Behaviour at Football and Threatening Communications (Scotland) Act.
As part of his work he has prepared a survey to be undertaken by Celtic fans regarding our individual and collective views of this legislation.
I – and obviously he – would be very grateful if you could take a few minutes of your time to complete his survey which is attached below.
Thanks very much.
