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.

A newcohun will be just that a newcohun.
They will not have euro football for 3 years.
They will regain all their revenue streams which is worth millions.
No debts at al.
Their support worse than ever, we have been firmly put in our place in their eyes.
The cheating will escalate to new hights, and they will still have the referees onside.
I couldn’t live with that.

Great to meet up albeit too briefly on Sunday. Hope things went as well as could be possible the following day. Please pass on my condolences to your lovely wife. Would love a wee session with you sooner than later. Or indeed a big session!
I was the DD on Sunday so took in the entirety of the victory in a sober minded way. You’re correct in that I’ve missed a lot of games in the second half of the season. By choice sometimes and for work related reasons at other times.
On Sunday I took a step back and thought; I love these guys/gals who I really only see on matchdays. They come from all areas of the U.K., Ireland and beyond. I’ve grown with them these past 14 or 15 years and maybe more. I’ve watched their children grow as they’ve watched my children grow.
And then the game and the afterwards. WOW. And those wonderful children and their teachers from Thailand. What’s not to like.
My mate and I were enthusiastically taliking about Champions League venues next season on the way home cos we’re well up for it.
Will I renew my ST?
You betcha.
Lennons passion.
Rise up before any decision is made and make ourselves look like clowns then?
Good stuff. Let me know how that works out for you.
This is a game of high stakes poker. Only an idiot would show their hand now.
Bill Miller. Why ?
Heard he is an Indy car racing fan.
Guess what they will be watching over Govan way in a couple of years time ?
Celtic First
Celtic Last
And Celtic evermore
I will be renewing my ST without providing support for any other team
did I hear right on RS earlier that Bill Miller ( aka Murray) never stumped up the £500k for preferred bidder status?
If so , why is he getting comfort and support from all branches of the brotherhood?
Can we believe anything these half wits of admins say?
Sorry that is 3 too many questions.
Christy singing Bobbys “Back Home in Derry”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7UWm5nXXqQ
n 1803 we sailed out to sea
Out from the sweet town of Derry
For Australia bound if we didn’t all drown
And the marks of our fetters we carried
In our rusty iron chains we sighed for our weans
Our good women we left in sorrow
As the mainsails unfurled, our curses we hurled
On the English, and thoughts of tomorrow
CHORUS
Oh Oh Oh Oh I wish I was back home in Derry
Oh Oh Oh Oh I wish I was back home in Derry
At the mouth of the Foyle, bid farewell to the soil
As down below decks we were lying
O’Doherty screamed, woken out of a dream
By a vision of bold Robert dying
The sun burned cruel as we dished out the gruel
Dan O’Connor was down with a fever
Sixty rebels today bound for Botany Bay
How many will meet their reciever
CHORUS
Oh Oh Oh Oh I wish I was back home in Derry
Oh Oh Oh Oh I wish I was back home in Derry
I cursed them to hell as her bow fought the swell
Our ship danced like a moth in the firelight
White horse rode high as the devil passed by
Taking souls to Hades by twilight
Five weeks out to sea, we were now forty-three
Our comrades we buried each morning
In our own slime we were lost in a time
Of endless night without dawning
CHORUS
Oh Oh Oh Oh I wish I was back home in Derry
Oh Oh Oh Oh I wish I was back home in Derry
Van Diemen’s land is a hell for a man
To live out his whole life in slavery
Where the climate is raw and the gun makes the law
Neither wind nor rain care for bravery
Twenty years have gone by, I’ve ended my bond
My comrades ghosts walk behind me
A rebel I came – I’m still the same
On the cold winters night you will find me
CHORUS
Oh Oh Oh Oh I wish I was back home in Derry
Oh Oh Oh Oh I wish I was back home in Derry
To all the Celtic self flaggelators.
Whats wrong with celtic PLC suing for damages?
Isnt that what PLC’s do?
Bill Miller. Why ?
Has he had a call from CW ?
‘This shower will believe any old p*sh you tell them’.
well the first speedway was held where ?

Please bhoys, do not fall for Fluff & Fluffers load of old guff, we are helping them sow the seeds of doubt THEY want to sow!
There are definite limits as to how you Administrate, they have gone off on a tangent, why, hard to say, remember who wanted THEM appointed, and he got his way, despite an objection from HECTOR!, they are now engaged in a ’ smoke & mirrors’ mode to help deflect the fact that this is too BIG for them, and i can only surmise, THAT THEY ARE AFRAID TO LICQUIDISE THEM!
Celtic can do nothing at the moment, because Fluff & Fluffers, the SFA, the SPL, haven’t done anything thing yet, except test PUBLIC OPINION!
Paul67 et al
You are right to highlight the positive atmosphere around Celtic Park right now, regaining the title, the Green Brigade, the visit of the Thai Tims, the emergence of some good young players, all to be celebrated next week at a packed Parkhead. We, as a club have lots to look forward to. Even so, Ernie Lynch is making a serious point, and he is making it in a timely manner. My reaction to the recent SPL proposed rule changes, and to Peter Lawyell’s statement following that, was and is similar to Ernie’s. I would rather play Shettleson Juniors than play a Rangers team, under any guise, which has cheated Scottish football, the British taxpayer, and whoever else had the misfortune to have had to deal with David Murray. I happen to believe that Celtic need to offer to support an alternative to a scenario which will be seen as little more than a cheats charter. We need to make it known that, with the impending demise of Rangers FC, the SPL needs to change, on pain of dissolution. We need to make it clear to the Alistair Johnstons of this world that while they may be willing to whore themselves to all and sundry, we actually believe in integrity in football, and in the wider society. That is the Celtic I support.
We have been cheated for years.
We have known it is not a level playing field for years.
This last year has seen US vindicated.
We have not been paranoid for years.
all you Bhoys threatening to not renew your season ticket are misguided.
You supported Celtic all these years now they ate unravelling we need one more push.
We now have the chance to dominate for the next decade.

Michael Johnston…. another hero enters into the fray…. direct quote from one of the voters in the SPL stitch up specifically saying that sporting integrity is “oot the windae”
Thanks very much for spelling that out…. certainly one club which I’d be delighted to boycott….
We don’t need yer stinkin’ pies !
i cant believe that celtic supporters after reading this statement ,are still going to honour his club with their presence.

They were indeed the bravest of the brave. All Ireland should honour their sacrifice.
I remember those wee notes smuggled out of the Kesh. I recall on just about every occasion after visting my dad in the kesh on the prisoner welfare bus home the women would suddenly produce these little tiny little packets containing various messages and instuctions.

Cheers CRC.
All we need is a team like hertz or Aberdeen to say
Hey let’s pay no taxes to help us have a good season for our fans
Then newco and wipe all our debts out and start again( banned from Europe for 3 years, but we end up with zero debt). 30 teams in teams in Europe could do that every year
My 2nd point is that every team in Spl who lost out in Europe to huns cheating should sue newco
I do like the idea of boycotting certain away grounds

If BM knocks IP down there will be
plenty of room to build an Indy car track.

Hmm
Yes I suppose thats a good place to start if you want to sue.
Other than “Court” have you given the matter of how celtic would sue whoever for whatever any thought

Don’t renew the season book if you don’t want to.

I think it’s called corperate fraud, I’m with you here.
At a conservative estimated they have defrauded our club out of more than 100 million.
Or do we just sit at the back of the bus and know our place….
Lennon’s Passion.
Perhaps that was a poor analogy but I’ve used it so I’ll persevere.
Celtic are very much in the game. Big stack and on the button. We don’t need to move until we see whatever everyone else does. If we do then we’re throwing away our advantage…
