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.

  5. Do what I do. When you you see either name of the Gruesome Twosome appear just scroll by. Believe me, you will be missing nothing. Schizophrenia is an awful thing. Add an undereducated oaf and it’s much worse. Best to leave it to fester in it’s own bile.

  27. Long time lurker.Had a conversation today with a fellow bhoy who now works for the prison service not I hasten to add as a warder.He and another bhoy are surrounded by them.Reminded me of 1985 when I had left the navy and applied for the fire service and the prison service and had got to the stage where I had only to pass the medical to get into the fire service and had been invited to Perth Prison for an initial interview.Upon arrival I was met by the archetypal hun who asked my name and then informed me that I would have to take an eye test.Aforementioned hun appears two minutes later complete with white jacket and starts to test my eyes.We get to about five lines down and he says stop and informs me that my distant vision is all wrong.I then inform him that two weeks previously when I had left the navy I had perfect vision.I then asked him how within two minutes he had gone from prison officer to optician to which he says that’s it thanks.28 years later I have retired from the fire service which I thoroughly enjoyed.What it has reaffirmed for me is all the things that my father and his father before him told me.We scare them because we have always had to work harder

     

    and in general are brighter and have far higher standards than they will ever have.
