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.

    There is nothing better than getting your family around you, especially if you are apart by borders. I love having my granddaughter over from Finland. It really is a special time. Saying I, really mean we. :))) Enjoy your special time with them, I am sure it will be extra special.

    It’s bad enough anywhere, but in a public place somehow makes it seem worse.

    People have every right to disagree with you,or me,or not.

     

     

    Happens all the time.

     

     

    However I would be pretty darn annoyed were someone else to copy my MO

     

     

    Especially if he refused to comment on it.

    Shocking indeed. Let’s see if the money thingy kicks in to protect him. Is he not one of the Satchis (sp) family? He will of course have a well paid lawyer.

    Mynah,

     

    You have surprisingly made a very valid point…

     

     

    It is like when some part of you itches & you know you should try to ignore it…

     

    The more you ignore it,..the more it itches.

     

     

    YOU just happen to be CQN’s itchy bum.

    Thanks for that info. I was offered cataract surgery which would have improved my sight, but would still require reading glasses at a cost of £5000+, and no guarantee it would last for any specific time. Jeez, I’m 67, no brainer. If I require cataract surgery to save my sight in the future, it will be available on the NHS. :)))

  15. When my young fella was a wean, he used to ask me questions like all weans do, questions that in the main you can answer not a bother, but on occasion he would ask wans that had me baffled…….like is you have an itch, and you scratch it, where does the itch go ?

     

     

    No bad question…….over to you KK >}

    We cannot keep up the demand for goose eggs. They make the most beautiful scrambled eggs and omelettes you will probably ever taste. 1 goose egg is the equivalent of 3 good sized hen eggs,and a local baker swears they make the most light and fluffy texture she has come across. :))

    They died a year ago, the ghost of Hun is said to stalk the lower leagues of Scottish football. It’s said that if you concentrate on the wireless you can hear the faintest vestiges of supremicist pish dressed up as ‘nothing really happened’, this is coupled with the haunting wailings of ‘absolutely ally’. Absolutely Ally is a headless tit who chunters inanely about how tough it is to live on £750 000 with two support staff on a combined income of £600 000 with a squad that costs £400 000 per week. If you listen closely you can hear the keening of the Meeeeja, a horribly disfigured wraith which feeds on distrust, misinformation and bile, it’s also known as the J’Irvin.

     

    The only way to avoid this poisonous, vile sump of reprobatery is to buy a season book for any other football club in Scotland. They just can’t stand success!
