Sometimes it seems there is a constant struggle underway for the heart and soul of Celtic. It is incredible that for 125 years a community has managed to retain the conviction to help the less fortunate which drove forward those who formed the club.
Scarcely a day goes by without me receiving a message from someone offering to help those in need. This week it was tables for the Wayside Club Gala Dinner (Saturday 27 April, check it out here), someone send in a box set of the Byrds, to raise money ‘for the homeless’, and a reader parted with a precious top signed by the Seville team, which I’ve to collect in Glasgow.
Much of this goes on below radar but when a call to arms is needed it goes out in impressive clarity; the Wee Oscar campaign slipped into an infrastructure established when Kano took ill a few years back (hope you are doing well, Kano and we hear from you soon). Believe me, some of the work, and many of the discrete donations, would blow you away.
None of this is random. At some point each and every person who has stepped forward did so, knowingly or not, because of the way the Celtic Movement infected them.
A number of Celtic fans, and one former treble winning captain, are helping the Celtic Charity this year with the objective of encouraging each Celtic fan to raise £125. It feels like the right thing to do and if you’ve not brought yourself up to speed with the project yet, do it this weekend (more information here).
There will be formal events throughout the year but if you want to do a sponsored run/walk/cycle/jig, this is your invitation. You are reading this stuff because of your link all the way back to that hall in the Calton; get involved and earn your place in that 125-year-old story.
The next major event is a mass huddle at the top of Ben Nevis, check it out here.
Enjoy your Easter holiday – but not before you get involved………

Cowiebhoy, car it is, young Doc, probably.
Moonbeams will set a time and place to meet, around 12pm at a guess.

I was wondering how everyone would know who each one was but I’ve come up with a cunning plan.
We could all congregate around MWD.
It should be easy, she’s black.

David Robertson, the goalie, is someone I haven’t seen since 1993, but I regard him as a very great friend.
May I take it you worked with him in the world of banking?
An absolutely lovely big ghuy.

Great news about the wee one. Please God all will go well at the scan.
CRC
Cheers, will do, I’ll try not to miss the 1st round next week!
Thanks

Did Danny Crainey come back from playing in Australia to Coach Celtic Youths and got bumped by Jock Brown?

Good night all

Lovely photo of longmuir and ballentyne in their true colours
CRC, that’s your idea isn’t it, be honest, frankly it’s a good plan.

Danny Crainie started working as a youth team coach for Celtic in season 1994-95 and continued through to the reorganisation of the Celtic Youth Development programme. His contract was terminated by Jock Brown and Eric Black in October 1997, with not a small amount of dissatisfaction from Crainie as his reputation and results working with the youngest players was exemplary.

Guilty as charged. Crisps and cokes for the youngers of course outside in the snow. :-)

CRC, done that. Usually led to kick the can.
Celtic First
I did work beside him in the banking game. Great bloke. Knew his fitba and how to play the predominantly hun/jambo office better than I did!

Yet you still don’t turn up for CQN 5s on a Thursday, with all those “kick the can” skills.
Big thank you to Captain Moonlight for making his Thursday CQN 5s debut.
HH
CRC
CRC, I said Id be unreliable and wouldn’t want to let you down on that prediction:-)
I will make my debut soon, in a geological timescale, Old Cowiebhoy has been threatening to come along too.

Good summary. However, please also consider this, one of my favourite links in recent weeks, but I make no apology for pointing you and other CQNers to it again.

Neil Doncaster has already put into the public domain what he thinks about the link between clubs spending money they cannot afford and their gaining an unfair advantage on the field of play. Doncaster completely contradicts the key statement from LNS.
Doncaster cannot be allowed to pretend he never said what he said in that link. He cannot be allowed to say: “It’s time to move on.”

That is true. We have had quite a few CQNer injuries to date. I believe at least 5 are on our Phil O’Donnell tribute treatment table.
Even had to draft in up to 3 zombies at times.
Thursday Nite CQN 5s-open to all :-)

Good evening CHAMPIONS
A bit off topic, but can any of you pc literate guys inform me of how to change my password on twitter on ipad with a msm account. Somebody’s hacked my account and I’ve uninstalled the app. Any info would be appreciated.

Now that I see some of the others who’ll be attending I think I’ll leave the stewarding to them ;-)

Give me a shout if a place becomes available I’m no longer doing the thing that had me busy on a Thursday night mate.

One of the pics on that thread have been ‘photoshopped’.

Well done to John Savage on reaching Mastermind Final
Not bad for a bhoy from Bo,ness
First round Glasgow Celtic, semi final round Nazi Germany.
As John said from Hail Hail to Heil Heil
Pity he cannot revert back to Celtic in the final ( 70’s pop music )
See this St. Mary’s catholic school education !!!
Best wishes big Jock

I thought he could revert back to Celtic, my mistake, 70’s pop music, great choice.
