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.

Any you guys out there in Celticland ever watch Entourage ???
Margaret McGill @ 01:26
It was quite a shock to be introduced to you today. Yiv chinged.
You’ve got to free your mind
I want to head back in time….. A week ago, to when we got beat off Hamilton…..
I don’t accept the p@sh excuses that some fans make…… Give the manager time, it’s a transition period….. Bla, bla, bla……
Here’s some hard facts…… Strachan gets his players together 10% of the time Ronny has afforded to him…. What is it Strachans team can look organised, disciplined, and in control…… Dead simple…. He gives instruction, and the players know what they are doing….
As for Celtic…. It’s a total guessing game….. Pure and simple.
The next CQN meet-up is later today in freedom square. Be there or be a unionist.
Bevvied. Night all

…….
Aye Huns no paying their taxes
Cause it’s all about money, ain’t a damn thing funny
You got to have a con in this land of milk and honey
They pushed that girl in front of the train
Took her to the doctor, sewed her arm on again
Stabbed that man right in his heart
Gave him a transplant for a brand new start
I can’t walk through the park cause it’s crazy after dark
Keep my hand on my gun cause they got me on the run
I feel like a outlaw, broke my last glass jaw
Hear them say “You want some more?”

……….
Discuss Celtic?.
Pity the club didn’t do that and inform the support on the current updates regarding players injuries,illnesses etc.
Secrecy or what?
Why the feck do they not tell us what is going on with our players?
Paulo,s boots. Just because I,ve looked after myself and have the body of a man half my age, theres no need for you to be jealous.
Thanyou for escorting the young emarald price to his chamers. You wil be rewarded with high praise and bullshit:-)
I hope you all had a brilliant day. And. YES, Im sorry I couldnt have been there. They tell me maggie mcgill is a doppleganger for the sex kitten Anabelle. Haaaaaarmfffff..
Anyway, Im in spain so you look after that wee emarald prince pal of mine, Im sure you will.
Hail Hail

Bail out now.

What those in power do to you. Reminds us at a glance how humans hate each others guts and show it given a chance.

Was it a struggle?
Scroll up to the top of the page
Any page on this article and read about Paul speculating about Sevco
Who knows….. But Broony and mulgrew ( not tonight obviously) look like world beaters along side Anya and Maloney…….. Whether it’s forrest, wakaso or who ever surely we have guys with the same, speed, skills, and discipline as anya and Maloney……. That’s the bottom line. Fact is, Strachan can get Maloney and Anya to work defensively and protect the 2 sitting midfielders….. Where as Deila lets brown and Johansen get exposed week after week….. Pure JOKE!
ACGR,
Enjoy yersel pal!

This is the type of post sadly lacking on CQN.
