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.

Was at the Roses concert last night with the mrs,son and daughter all loved it. Thought Primal Scream were magic. There must have been some amount of folk that never seen it with either being out of their faces or totally pissed. Good to have been there but you couldn’t even see the stage you had to try and see the screens but with the mrs and daughter being vertically challenged they never seen much of that either.
I see groupon are selling pieces of dried Celtic park turf either on a piece of acrylic block or framed.

Recently i viewed a documentary about the Hillbillies of America.They originated in Scotland and went to the USA via this place as a result of the Plantation of Ulster.They are also known as the Scotch Irish,believe it or not.They were and still are a wild bunch.
WDH-Was in Flemings fine dining restaurant at the Westerwood Hotel last night,well worth a visit.
Potent moonshine production was their specialist subject,but they produce very little hooch these days due to the availability of cheap liquor from sources that a legal.Very little revenue to be made from it.These days they have turned their hands to marajuana cultivation up in the Apalachan mountains.They are said to produce some of the highest quality marajuana on earth.
All pubs had stewards on the door and were very busy in and the area of The Green yesterday.
Our group went in about 7:30sh
Seen Primal Scream who performed very well.
The Stone Roses played all there favourites and the crowd loved it as did I got home a couple of hours ago as a friend had a wee party after the gig.

HOOPER GOAL!!!!!!
This is the first chance I’ve had to get the laptop out since getting back from Aberdour yesterday. Thanks to Blantyrekev and Taggsy for organising such a great event. These guys deserve a medal. Johnnybhoys skills as master of ceremonies was a sight to see and had everyone in stiches. Willie Wallace and BRTH, what a double act!!!
There’s still a few blanks need fillng, like how the hell I ended up with a CQN umbrella and where did all my prizes go:-)? I think the umbrella must belong to someone who was on the boogie bus. So if you’re missing your prised possession give me a shout at acgr@hotmail.co.uk.
It was good to catch “It aint half hot mum” at my first breakfast and I hope he made it safely home. Also good to catch oldtim67, PF and the guys at my second breakfast. That Aberdour hotel lot are a generous bunch.
Hope everyone else got home safely including the guys and gals who braved Ben Nevis.
All in all a great start to the weekend.
Offski to play more sclaffbaw.
Hail Hail the Celts are Here.

Cheers pal……ex hun with a green tie.

Cheers. I’ll def be there.
SNAKE
I expect people to vote with their head,not their heart.
Your post is patronising jingoistic nonsense
Snake
Wtf is all that about ….you been on the slivovitz
South Africa knocked out of the 2014 WC qualifying by Ethiopia who advance to the final stage.
ACGR you have mail Hail Hail Hecelt
Guys it is poetry.
I happen to think it is very interesting.
BMCUWP
Rubbish. I think it’s largely true. I don’t consider it jingoistic at all. It is an ironic look at why we are supposedly better together. The list of reasons seem pretty accurate – from illegal wars we don’t want to governments we don’t elect and it attacks a UK Establishment who tell us we’re all ungrateful for their great advancements to our society which when you shine a light on them is patently not true.
Sometimes Art and Culture can provide something more interesting and offer more insight.
Do you enjoy being referred to as a Subsidy Junkie for example?
I happen to agree with Alan Bisset. If you don’t then fine but I think the guy is bang on.
PF Ayr
No. I’m off the drink for the next two weeks.
Coincidentally I saw QT the full show – an utter farce of a show and all I can say is Thank God for Lesley Riddoch being on there to tell Galloway where to go.
I thought his comments were appalling and yet folk lauded him on here.
I simply don’t get it.
