Good Friday is just another Friday for you

1828

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………

  1. Celtic pre MON 3 titles in 18 years no Europe after Christmas.

     

    then 3 titles in 5 years with him + UEFA Cup Final + CL nights.

     

     

    Martin O’Neill was just what we needed at just the right time.

     

    MON was fantastic for us.

     

     

    I was at Sunderland today and it was painful to watch. They are just so bad with no leadership in the team I don’t see what else the Sunderland could’ve done because under Martin they were only heading in one direction.

    Aha,

     

     

    So you are a wise man and you foresee House abusing publicly funded Police powers once again.

     

     

    ;))

    It will be good to chat with you and Neganon, individuals that are not easily swayed but there when it really matters.

  3. On the M74 on the way home heard the 3rd division championship was clinched probably in much the same way as the new 3rd div champions found out.

     

     

    Me and my oldest bhoy just burst out laughing. How does the Div 3 champions celebrate? open top bus, open their ground to let 200 souls that can be bothered in, or hire a boogie bus?

    Your figures are just wrong …plain wrong

     

     

    Suits your agenda …so I’m led to believe that the misrepresentation is deliberate

    David Icke is a big Theosophist and he really is just a copycat of, or worse, a disciple of Alice Bailey of Lucifer publishing.

     

     

    Just so you know. ;))

  6. Zimmerman, you’re amongst the best posters on this site, P67 (of course), SFTB, Auldheid, BMCUW and many others, and yourself. Great company. Keep up the good work. You do your own thing, and it matters.

     

     

    I’m not a big fan of Dylan btw, but I’d shoot Paul McCartney if I was forced to choose :))

  7. FFM,

     

    Heard a snippet of an interview with Ginger Baker on radio 4 a couple of weeks ago,it was a prelude to an up and coming documentary “beware Mr Baker”

     

    The interviewer was slightly nervous as the last person to interview Ginger ended up with a broken nose.

     

    During the interview while discussing bass players,..Paul McCartney’s name came up,

     

    “don’t mention that guy to me”.says Ginger…”he’s a musical moron”.

     

     

    Gawn yirself Ginger. ;))

  8. Petec,

     

     

    I saw David Icke doing a 10 hour talk at Wembley Arena last October,

     

    i was mightily impressed.

  9. Was wondering what to watch when i hit the sack,…it’s been decided for me…The Matrix.(again)

     

     

    cheers Petec.

  10. Apols for interuption.

     

     

    It seems we need to make a distinction between daylight abhorrence of hun propogation and midnight dilly dallying of moon howling nutters.

     

     

    If it’s okay with some, I’ll share this wee “inoffensive??” video, and then talk a wee bit more shite..

     

     

    Och, and who knows, mibbes it’ll one tit re-assess himself and stop judging everyone else.

     

     

    If it helps Clinko, you bastion of intelligence, I’ll be there in spirit, hoping you get arrested rather than anyone else.

     

     

    ;)) Love! Mwah ! xx

     

     

    Hooowwwllllllll

  12. zimmerman,

     

     

    I used to get his email newsletter years ago, I found his stuff interesting way back then but he was never convincing even 10 years ago.

     

     

    The David Icke debunked documentary is enlightening. ;))

  13. zimmerman @ 03:23

     

     

    Brilliant ! :)))) You made a miserable bastard smile widely there :)))

     

     

    Ah, feck it. We put 10 quid into the jujebox on level 7 of Strathy Uni to play “Imagine” one night.. I know we weren’t alone, but it mattered !! 20 plays :)))

  14. Petec,

     

     

    To each his own i guess,

     

    i’ve been reading and watching his stuff (among others) for 20 odd years now.

     

    for me its the message not the messenger.

     

     

    I don’t say that all his views are 100%,but he sure opened my eyes.

  15. zimmerman,

     

     

    Definitely, he talks about a lot of things that are not talked about.

     

     

    Thinking back, how much more credible would he have been if he never claimed to be God and the Reptilian stuff. Dontcha think it is the perfect way to stop everyday people from taking on board the serious stuff he has always been talking about?

     

     

    That gets me even more suspicious, and I am a paranoid android Tim at the best of times.
