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.

CELTIC 3-1 Deidco
Sep 78

The Celtic team are nearly all full Internationals although the way we are playing at the moment you might not suspect that. Bolton are certainly not full of Internationals I think Lennie and his management team are in for a rough ride.H.H.
Blantyre, my wife swears, quite literally, by Gaviscon.
My dad had a hip replacement operation over thirty years ago. When he was a bit run down after the operation, the consultant told my mum to bring him a few bottles of Guiness to help him.
It worked and it was the only time he was quite happy to be an in-patient.

What a fine bunch of upstanding human beings haha HH
Don’t feed the attention seeker…
Roy, I loved the way Joe Craig got up after Forsyth scythed him, steadied himself and played a great pass out to Tom McAdam for our third that day.
Tom McAdam a very underrated centre back for us and held the post war record for scoring against the now defunct club until some foreign guy with dreadlocks appeared, can’t think of his name somehow.

Colin McAdam R.I.P. lived on Alderman Rd. A big gentĺeman and never a hun.
That one nil win at Ibrox, Charlie was our darlin then.
Different now, a man who makes up words but not in a deliberately funny way France & Josie did.
That game where the McAdam brothers were having a go at each other, my school teams was running at the British Catholic Schools Cross Country championship in Bolton, by coincidence.
Had to wait ages to finally find out the score but someone at the back of the hall had a radio and they told us we had won three one. Ten of us jumping about like dafties when we found out the score. St Columba’s from Clydebank were the only other Scottish school there and they were well chuffed also.
Paul67 et al
Am I the only one on here who reckons that Alex Ferguson’s latest autobiography, published this time last year, has set off a nuclear reaction in Roy Keane’s brain? Metaphorically speaking of course.
Elsewhere I see Lenny and co have got the gig at Bolton. Roy Keane got Sunderland promoted from a similar position to where Bolton are now, anybody believe Neil can do something similar down there? Not me, the club owes the owner £150 million, plus interest, with no hope of paying it off. Makes Celtic look like, a well run club in some respects.

You may well be may things, but a traitor ain’t wan of them,and had I the chance, would have voted yea as well >}

Roy, that three one game at Pittodrie was fantastic even better when Miller made a mess ofa high ball and Frank McGarvey ran on to get our second.
Neale Cooper was at left back that day and Davie Provan destroyed him. His cross for Tommy’s header was typical of him.
One of the only twice it was warm in Aberdeen whem we played there.
Delaney’s, I didn’t know the late Colin McAdam lived on Alderman Road.
He worked with underprivileged children and others with learning difficulties and was meant to be a top bloke.
I was at a midweek game at Kilbowie in the early eighties, we were playing away in Europe that night, Colin was there with a number of his pupils.
Were the McAdam’s not from the high flats behind the Dry Dock?
DD-Played a few times for St Gregorys v Garthamlock ,a bitter Derby match in it’s day ,mostly due to biased refereeing on both sides.Colin McAdam became a PE teacher at Garthamlock after retiring.He was totally fair and very supportive of any good play on the pitch.Good guy when i ever met him…….especially when i scored 2 in a 3-2 win at their place :))

Frank McGarvey’s late winner v deico 1980.
I played for half a season with big Colin McAdam with the mighty Thistle reserves. A great big guy and some laugh. Never tired of telling him Tom was the handsome one…thank God he couldn’t catch me.
