The Celtic Supporters Association Rally in the Kerrydale Suite last night was a complete joy. On the way out I remarked that the club was in good hands with the Association. This was their 64th annual rally, over generations they have protected and cultured the unique spirit of our football club.
For me, it was the third opportunity in a week to hear the Thai Tims, who performed an excellent set. Paul Lennon of the Good Child Foundation is a real inspiration and example to us all.
It was also a great opportunity to spend a few hours with many from the CQN community, always a treat. I know one CQN’er who is going to think twice before digging up Tom (“get your facts right”) Boyd on the blog again, just in case our former treble winning captain reads it and goes looking for him on a night out.
To continue the spirit of what we are all about, on Saturday 19th May there is a charity dinner in Glasgow for The Andrea Kearney Fund, which supports women who are diagnosed with cancer during pregnancy. The fund in memory of Andrea, who was diagnosed while expecting her fifth child and died in 2008, aged 41.
It promises to be a great night for an important cause, I hope you can support it. You can book tickets here. I look forward to seeing you there.
You can buy a hard copy of the new issue of CQN Magazine via Magcloud here.
The graphic below is just for a flick through, to read the magazine go here to it’s dedicated site.

No help from the Union?
Even if he is not a member,there`s a reasonable chance they would help.
S,T.
TimsinOhio was trying to get in touch with you a few days ago.
He`s heading over to Sydney soon.
Peter Lawwell told me that he looked in his crystal ball and…
Rangers FC were back in the SPL after a N.I. Orange Juice oligarch rode to their rescue. They won the league, qualified for the Champions League then won the big cup by a 7 -1 scoreline.
The SNP won independence.
Campbell Ogilvie became the First Minister
Gordon Dalziel… Foreign Secretary
John Grieg… Minister for War
David Murray… National Business Advisor (Special Agent)
Craig Whyte… Chancellor.
Fernando the Commando… Health Minister
Terry Hurlock… Tourism Minister
I think he went too far with the minister for war.
I’m as prepared as anybody to do my bit to counter a newco if all morals and rules are polluted to secure them an undeserved existence; but I really am disappointed that we are not more organised after all the time and experience we had and have.
The bhoy from the village,
The board think they are the heart and soul of the club, they think only they should dictate what and how our money is spent.
During Mowbrey’s time, there was a serious attempt by the support by supporters to organise away bhoycotts, then Lawwell stepped in and turned the whole thing into a bloody circus, it became the roadshow.
As soon as he had the stage the bhoycott was dismissed, and here we are again in the exact same place, had the csa and cst payed attention (I for one told them to keep the board out of it as it would descend into farce) we would not be here now.
But the csa and cst preferred a free lunch and some corporate back scratching, now we are where we are.
No one takes the threat of bhoycott seriously and why should they.
The exact same thing will happen, the board will wheel out the manager again to plead that he needs the away support and the simple minded will think everything is ok again, until the next time again.
I despair that our support think they are brighter than the Hun, when they have the same attention span and the same memory retention as a chicken.
This board have treated our support appallingly over the last few years yet, there are still people who think they represent us ffs.

He was on to the union and they said the firm would be more or less blacklisted for future contracts if they don’t come across but this has been going on for afew weeks and he was reluctant to let me and his mum know the score until today
Kitalba,
Terry Hurlock – Tourism Minister ??
The true face of Scotland?? :)
Decision time!!!!!
Never mind that newco nonsense, I’m leaving for Tannadice at 9am Do I :-
A) Stay up drinking and get the missus to give me a lift in to get the bus?
Or
B) Go to bed and start all over again in the morning?
Macjay. I saw that
With family and work commitments it’s hard enough to even catch up with close friends here,
Flat out mate
I only have a work email adress at the moment , having problems with my hotmail account and wouldn’t post any of them here
Fortune. Not bored mate
Other European FA must be made aware how the useless SFA will bring chaos to their own associations if Uefa don’t act
HT,
All of A, and the second part of B.
canamalar
I never met a single Tim outwith CQN who even contemplated a boycott, it was never going to happen.
ST,
That’s the key isn’t it? Am under no illusions that UEFA are some saintly saviour. They have to act on this due to the concern from other FAs and clubs.
Fortunes Favour Mibbes
I couldn’t think of anybody with a more welcoming snarl.
ht, what are you talking about, I suggest you read my post again, and if you can’t be bothered here’s the punch line again, emotional blackmail, EMOTIONAL BLACKMAIL is not an honourable argument.
Must hit the sack lads
This site is unbelievable
and at long last, due to the responses I got
Lady Mac now agrees with me

Keep on dragging it out friend. Rules and regs are the mortar that cements any enterprise together and I cannot see how UEFA can justify not stepping in.
I was ok with SFA not blowing time up whlst D&P sought a solution but now that solution is being aired I would have expected the SFA to say such a deal is a no goer.
It is their silence on licensing that worries me. The know it is an issue. STV Grant looked into the point Friday and said a license for Newco could not be guaranteed so there is hope they will act with and for integrity.

Kitalba,
According to the meeja monkies, the Myth has an angelic snarl ?!? Which should never be compared with Lenny’s evil, aggressive smile.

I would respectfully suggest that you read bjmac’s post again, it was emotional not emotional blackmail.
ht, and you never turned up to the meeting because you are happy to be a victim, thats how I read that statement.
Ask Auldheid if anything I said is untrue.
FFM
I#ll think about it whilst I’m doind C) ;-))
hamiltontim:
If the unthinkable happens I think a boycott will be part of a long war.
I would begin with bought adverts in the press explaining the dangers to society of allowing the huns free passage and in doing so inviting other teams supporters to be involved.
Free passage for the huns equates to evillity. People should understand what the promotion of that will entail.
The SFA/spl already struggle to attract sponsorship, what chance have they in the future if they seal a pact with the devil. What company with values whould pay to endorse that?
ht,
He told us anyone contemplating not renewing their season ticket is only hurting the club, that my friend is emotional blackmail whether you like it or not.
canamalr
What meeting?
If you’re referring to the the CSA rally I couldn’t afford a ticket because of the number of away tickets I’ve had to pay for this season.
Auldheid @ 02:32
That’s the only small point we disagree on ! I want the SFA to keep looking for escape tunnels, rolling that rope, diggin that grave….they NEED to go. :))
HT,
I think I know what “C” is :)) Errr…have a good one..
That’s it for me too, I’ve a lot ofwork to be doing in the garden.

I can’t speak Gaelic but when I look at the words I see Art.
ht,
That memory retention thing I was talking about, StMary’s cst meeting a few years ago.
As I said ask Auldheid I think his memory retention might be a bit better than yours.
Kit
I won’t be boycotting, home or away. I know that on these esteemed pages that may make me unpopular but so feck.
What I can assure you of is that my stance is far from uncommon amongst the away support.
ht,
Have you ever stood on a picket line ?
canamalar
I don’t know of the meeting can you please make me aware of the topics of discussion and the outcome please?
canamalar
Yes I’ve stood on a picket line and I was a member of the Labour party in my youth.
What’s your point Roger Irrelevant?

Some wheels turning anyway.
Away to beebaws

Don’t see the point, you made your decisions and from what I’ve seen you attitude is, this lady is not for turning.

The Wind That Shakes The Barley
Robert Dwyer Joyce
I sat within the valley green, I sat me with my true love
My sad heart strove the two between, the old love and the new love
The old for her, the new that made me think on Ireland dearly
While soft the wind blew down the glen and shook the golden barley
‘Twas hard the woeful words to frame to break the ties that bound us
But harder still to bear the shame of foreign chains around us
And so I said, “The mountain glen I’ll seek at morning early
And join the bold united men, while soft winds shake the barley”
While sad I kissed away her tears, my fond arms round her flinging
The foeman’s shot burst on our ears from out the wildwood ringing
A bullet pierced my true love’s side in life’s young spring so early
And on my breast in blood she died while soft winds shook the barley
But blood for blood without remorse I’ve taken at Oulart Hollow
And laid my true love’s clay cold corpse where I full soon may follow
As round her grave I wander drear, noon, night and morning early
With breaking heart when e’er I hear the wind that shakes the barley
RWE
“Maybe someone will confirm whether Brodies was also SDM’s solicitors.”
Hah ! A pivotal question imo :))
So you’ve stood in picket lines, but refuse to accept if your the only supporter at the away end there’s a bhoycott, because your no boycotting, fine. Millytant.
canamalar
I’m confused.
You’re clearly passionate about this and that’s a credit not a criticism. However, you’re aware that I’m polarised to your views yet you don’t see the point in making me aware of events that may persuade me to align with your opinions?
Re SDM,
Heard the radio stuff with Britney earlier, where he laid the boot into Jabba. But then when on to discuss, despite their differences in recent years since the succulent lamb went off, his belief of what a nice guy SDM is. That says it all. SDM is still pulling strings. Any meeja propoganda that hails SDM as a great hun lover is diverting from the fact that he’s rotten to the core. Corrupt-land-deals.com
