Legends, history, £6k and tens of thousands of Celtic fans

1401

Congratulations to everyone who participated in the 9-in-a-row CQN Charity Golf Day at Aberdour in Fife, yesterday.  The event, auctions and raffles leading up to it raised £6000, the bulk of which will go to the 1254125 appeal, while some will go to Clic Sargent, who help families with children with that dreadful disease.

Lisbon Lion, Willie Wallace, and his wife Olive, were fantastic guests, who enjoyed spending a day with 70 or so friends.  It doesn’t matter how far away Lisbon Lions live, you always find them the same way.

My sincere thanks to everyone who came along, bid of the auctions or bought a raffle ticket, all in aid of people you will never know. Thank you from all of us to John, Kevin and John, for their stressful work in pulling the event together, for the ninth year!

125 years ago a handful of people, living in a community devastated by hunger, destitution and TB, but who could make a difference, decided they would make a difference.  As a result, Celtic was born.  Celtic is not just something to brighten up your weekends, it’s not purely there to build friendships or to create common-interests across the generations, it is a movement you are required participate in.

The clarion call to all Celtic fans this year is to do more than just put your hand in your pocket, the spirit which gave birth to the concept of Celtic will only survive if those who can get involved, inspire a fresh generation by doing so.

Go register for 1254125, and commit to doing something to raise £125.  It can be anything.  You can walk a 1888 meters, go to the barbers and get a baldy to celebrate the signing of Amido Balde, it doesn’t need to be as ambitious as the 150 brave souls who right this very moment are atop Ben Nevis about to undertake the world’s highest huddle.

If you believe in this club, don’t leave it to someone else to take care of what’s important.  The same goes for your season ticket.  It has been over a century since we have been as close to the founding spirit of our club, but the sporting dramas which inspire us all are not achieved by new strikers, they are the fruits of tens of thousands fans buying season tickets.

Go stake your claim on Celtic.

    …and you’re the guy hiring the PR agency, that’s plenty of bang for your buck…

    Do you think it’s done on one laptop, or laptops in different rooms to add a bit of belief in its own head?

     

    Its like a septic boil, if you scratch it then it’ll only get worse, best to leave it alone.

    I am currently rereading Bertie’s book, and reading between the lines he thinks Jock should have done more for the players.

     

     

    Though in his defence,I doubt anyone had to leave for less money,and the signing on fee would have been welcome.

     

     

    Different days….

    I think my late dad believed he got less grief from the Wehrmacht than mr rh Davidson of Airdrie.

     

     

    At least the Germans weren’t motivated by personal animosity.

    jimbo67 21:35 – correct

     

     

    kevjungle 21:43 – JRP Gordon was banned for taking bribes before a UEFA Cup tie. Funnily enough, the bribers were AC Milan

    Bobby Tait’s performance in the Huns v Kilmarnock game turned out to be a beautiful thing.

     

     

    Its a moment I will always remember – listening to Shortbread as the minutes dragged by. The game was finally over by the time I stopped celebrating.

     

     

    I’m sure Tait still has nightmares about it though.

  13. leftclicktic on

    Can anyone name a MIB who has given us a unbiased performance and stayed in the game the following season.

    With respect,I doubt there are many people on here who are pro-Islam

     

     

    What you will find is a number of people who despise discrimination.

     

     

    I will happily join that merry band.

    Kyle Bartley may take more convincing,though….

    Unfortunately there’s at least one who is anti Islam,

     

    god forbid theres ever an Islamist singing rebel songs whilst waving a rainbow flag.

    I remember many years ago David Syme popping up on Radio Clyde.

     

    It was during the Paul Cooney era, when Clyde was good.

     

    Anyway, I cannot recall the exact details, but it was a Saturday afternoon, and Syme was interviewed live on air, it went something like-

     

    Paul asked him why he was not refereeing that day, and Syme used words to the effect of ‘my game was off , cancelled due to weather at late notice, so I just popped round to ibrox’

     

    Paul then asked , how he got in, and Syme responded along the lines of ‘I am here regularly, so they know me at the VIP entrance’

     

    Paul then made a comment about him having no problems gaining entry, at which point, it dawned on Syme that he had dug himself into a hole.

     

    Very amusing.

    A cursory knowledge of what is going on in the world is enough to reveal the internecine warfare that is consuming the Sunni and the Shia sects of Islam.

     

     

    They may talk of restoring the caliphate but in the meantime the fratricide continues.

     

     

    I’ll give a cyber pint to who can tell me what the difference is between them, as I understand it the basic dispute is over a tiny detail of doctrine.

    No doubt contracted from a clatty toilet seat, janny Mather’s job is ever so important!

     

    Chuckles and Stockbridge are still the only people listed on the board of Garrion Security, their only client? The holding company which owns the football club. What will the ‘brainiest man in international finance who’s never met CW before’ make of that lucrative relationship?

    No doubt STD will be along soon….

     

     

    Must be near time for you “both” to go press your white hoods.

    I’ve a feeling that’s not the answer but ill get you a pint for that one lol

  27. Right ho guys

     

     

    Not much left on the battery and golf beginning to bubble.

     

     

    I’ll leave the discussions on Islam to those who know more about the subject than I. When I go to bed I hope I dream of my beloved Jac, February 1969 and drinking malts with my dad . I fear though I might have a disturbed night as RH Davidson , JRP Gordon , Bobby Tait and David Syme interfere.

    Tait drank in the 100 Acres Kings Park at that time. He freely admitted that he added on 6 mins of extra time after constant pressure from Gough.

     

    Tait was and probably still is a hun and mason. His cheating came back to bite him big time.

    You’re wearing headphones, listening to spotify, you’re using a tablet. Apparently in the Nuts household this means that you want to have a deep and meaningful chat about feck all!!!!!

    Are you likely to be around for the Brentford game,or after?

    Given that I’m now fifty and have no left knee to speak of I’ m doing ok , a few glasses of Priorat helps.

     

     

    All well with you and yours I hope.

     

     

    I was over in the Burrell a few months ago as it happens and had the same thought. I’d forgotten until recently that we used to come down to play on those grounds in one car. It got so cramped that the drivers nephew often ended up in the boot!

     

     

    Checking out that that band.

     

     

    Last thing you recommended , pumped up kicks gets a regular airing here , including the Dermot Oleary session version which is on one of his Sessions CDs , which are a bit hit and miss but do have their moments.
