If you’re going to stage a protest it’s better to make sure that it registers where it counts. Turning up at a Sports Direct till with a pile of tracksuits, then only offering £1 for their purchase, might echo the transaction Mike Ashley completed for the naming rights of Ibrox, but if the tycoon even gets to hear about the so-called flashmob protest he’s likely to pity the forsaken attempt to undermine him.
Ashley has invested around a couple of million in Newco Rangers but it’s pin money for him, which he can easily afford to gamble with. He is also not afflicted with any emotional attachment to Newco, or pretty much anything else, it seems. In short, this is a guy ‘Rangers’ fans can’t lay a glove on. They would be far better to figure this out and start to deal with the reality than provoke an unwelcome response.
Neither Ashley nor the Easdale brothers strike me as people who will be easily cowed or bullied into forgoing the rights they have purchased, while others, including thousands of fans, kept their hands in their pockets. The many genuine fans who are distraught at the humiliating mess Newco has become have been led up the garden path by would-be sages.
Africa
The world is paying a little more attention than usual to the many problems in Africa at the moment but I heard one authoritative voice last week suggest that ebloa is only around the third or fourth most severe problem the continent faces.
But, things are getting better in large swathes of the continent, thanks to improving governance in some areas, better infrastructure, more widely available healthcare, and more children, especially girls, given access to education.
20 people from Celtic Foundation are in Malawi building classrooms and toilets at the moment, while CQN’ers built three school kitchens there this year (more on the soon), but sometimes these many parallel developments conflict.
One such occasion is the John Bande Foundation School in Blantyre, Malawi, which through Mary’s Meals is supported by the Noreen Davies Hikers & Bikers, a group of people from Lanarkshire and Glasgow. The Hikers and Bikers support a feeding programme at the school, which makes it possible for kids to attempt the school, instead of working for food. It’s a mature project but the recent building of a motorway right on the edge of the school property has made the building dangerous; learning and feeding is no longer possible.
The Noreen Davies people are raising money to erect three new buildings. You can read more of the story here, with pictures of the school and road. If you can give them a £1 or two, do so here.

Guernica, that show our strikers need to get their shots on target and away from the keeper.
Ronny will get the system imbedded and we will see the progress we all want.
Hopefully Guidetti and Scepovic are the answer.
TET, the dug thought it had a bouncy castle to play on when I was lying down:-)
Guernica…only shots on target count….we had 7 against Hamilton…enough to win 25/30 games….
Bada
Your immense presence was missed today.
Great craic with Roy C.

Hi to all celts worldwide.
New poster long time lurker so no, i’m not a hun.
Just a wee couple of lines to let you all know it’s not all
doom and gloom as a new Celtic club has opened in Mornington
a lovely little beach town outside Melbourne Oz. over 100
members already and growing as we are all desperate to see
and discuss anything about the bhoys.
So keep the faith as we do.
H/H Mick.
……….
Great first post amigo!
You have a great CQner close to you, oo1 bhoy (thumbs V).
God bless the Melbourne Tim’s

Welcome to the blog. been in the Melbourne club a few times, great place. My odest son lives in Warragul and supports Geelong? Who thems? Ah well I keep sending Celtic tops to his children in the forlorn hope to wean them of that nancy boy ozzie stuff that Geelong play!!!

Lot of Naismith is rubbish stuff on here….I’m not watching the game so can’t see how badly he is playing….
Still would walk into the Celtic team as a first pick every week….I’ve watched him play a few times this year……..better than anyone we have at the minute, unfortunately.

And some of you chose to engage with this daftie?’
Ps Billy McNeill and Willie Mcstay just brought in the European Cup. Celtic, the first non Latin team to win it.
………………………….
At last someone talking sense about the Liverpool troll. Drops in to CQN to sow the seed that Celtic PLC and Celtic Football Club are different entities. Now where has this idea been spouted before. Despite Auldheid’s and others urging of caution with regard to Celtic making public statements about the status of Sevco in the interests of safety of Celtic supporters, he advises a head on approach ………… From the safety of his beloved Liverpool. Oh and I was at the 4-2 game also, seated in the Main Stand. I had an excellent view of the Jungle and like TET’s mountain valley …….. It was Hun free.

Was at that game as well. McCluskey goal is what I remember. McAdam had the habit of scoring against them back then.
………..
McAdam was superb against them.
Netted regularly and the mark of a good Celt.
It’s funny Gary,I remember that game fairly well.
Turn the clock back around 10 years ago and I struggle a bit.
The mind really is strange.
Thanks for the usual warm welcome bhoys.
Off to my new club now to gibber all day about
the greatest player ever the incomparable Jinky.
H/H Mick.
Everyone please read BRTHs post earlier today.
It sums up what we are all feeling.
Nae kidding and dancing aside
we are not in a good place.

Can I ask you if you went to the facebook page I linked earlier.
A few have mailed me and said they did, the liked the page and facebook has not registered it.
Mrs TET has her own page, it has over 25K likes on it, she tried to promote something a few days ago, it got no likes, she then paid facebook a few quid, and only a few quid 3 to be precise, and it only got 300 odd views, when an average post of hers gets over 4000 views.
Feckin thiefs the lot o them, it’s fine when you are not trying to promote sumthin.

We’re sitting singing Celtic songs with Billy McNeill and Willie McStay at a Celtic function.
This is what BRTH meant about our club.
