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.

Snake
Opinions mate
The SNP guy was embarrassing
As I’m a GG fan I thought he was good …Riddoch….grade in gobshite
Re GG appalling comments ….talking of egalitarian right to free speech …hardly appalling
SNAKE
Anyone referring to me as a subsidy junkie would wish that they hadn’t.
Same anytime someone says something which is factually wrong.
The independence debate should not be decided by soundbites and insults,it is more important than that.
However,that approach has been enough for SNP to win the last two Scottish elections,so I am not likely to be surprised if they stick with it.
Twisty.
May manage pre racing get together but not the racing itself. .

Price of box/hospitality not worth it..

Alan Bisset is clearly off the mark. These folks have it right. Aye

Just had a wee look at virgil van dijk on youtube
Video is mainly of him in the other teams half scoring goals
While thats all good and well. ..we need a centre half who can defend … goals are a bonus.
Anyone know if hes quoted as a good solid stopper

Massive bid on the table from EPL for Victor Wanyama.
The Boy Jinky
The fan site I was on are saying he is their best defender however that doesn’t tell us much I suppose. He was the club’s POTY last year. He does look powerful though.
Snake Plissken
Well I thought the poem was rather good and I am far from a convinced ‘yes’ man. The standard of public debate regarding independence has to date been abysmal – with the view south of the border being epitomised by the talentless lout Ray Winstone when he presented Have I Got News For You.

Watched the highlights of the SFF on SKY there…….laughed my head off when the BHOYS were doing the reverse huddle at the end, and those 2 old bhoys facing the park with big smiles ….PRICELESS ….hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha..!!!!!!!!
SFF = SCF ….LOL
Twists N Turns.
I shall be there, I may book a room in Hamilton New Zealand, But I will be there. Who could miss out on another meet up. And on my birthday too, Is Chris coming, it would be nice to have a wee drink with him..
Next time ye enter the voting Booth, think aboot this:
“Me? I certainly NOT, vote for a Candidate,because I Admire his or her,political Views… I vote for He or She, because He or She, is the Representative of a Particular Political Party.
Furthermore,I do Not vote for the Party, because it represents my own Political Views.
I vote for the Party, to prevent it’s Opponent,in this Political race,from being elected.
In other words..
I never vote FOR a Party..
I always vote AGAINST a Party!!!!!
For..
NEITHER PARTY,in Point of Fact..
REPRESENTS MY OWN POLITICAL VIEWS~~~~!!!!!”
Does any of that Make Sense?
Of Course Not!
Howevahhhhhhhhhh..
Next time you visit the Voting Booth,and…before you cast your Vote… think about what I just wrote..
And ..then, Tell Me if I am wrong.

What are YOUR solutions to the problems, and what have YOU done about them?
For example, has a Petition been organised, to: lobby the SFA; lobby the Celtic Board; boycott the Scottish Cup; boycott William Hills; boycott Celtic Park; demonstrate at the next Scotland International (possibly at Celtic Park – tbn) – as well as others? – to name a few. I am not suggesting any particular one or all of the above, just possibilities. As has been said many times before, the only leverage available is money and that is the one thing (only thing?) that will concentrate minds. Just saying like. I don’t for a moment suggest that I have solutions, but it would be good to air constructive proposals to move us forward rather than interminable discussion and acrimony.

Will be nice to see you for a few in the afternoon. Hospitality not necessary, we’d just get thrown out anyway.
On a personal note, sad to read of your beloved uncles passing. May he rest in peace.
Young chris going through the mill at present. My dads sister is very ill. She is the only remaining member of my dads family. 14 brothers and sisters and she is the last remaining. Very very close to chris. He’s spending his life at her bedside. I’m taking him to the races whether he wants to go or not!
He is a diamond of a lad. Sent me a very emotional Father’s Day message. He’ll get his reward in heaven for sure.
Hope your recovery speeds up my friend.
Hail hail

Our best defender isnt a great one so maybe groningens aint any better.
If someone showed highlights of big efe … cl group stages… couple of goals… a couple of somersaults. .. he would look amazing too.
As for a massive epl bid for victor. .. is that massive as in £20m for james mccarthy massive … or massive as in £4.5m for Gary Hooper massive ;)
….pfayr & PC67

the Bhoy on Celticminded reckons it is 8 figures; 10-12m?
agree with the defender but he fits our profile with age etc. I’ve got my positive head on just now so I’ll go with the scouts.
A repost from yesterday
There are some golf polo’s left a small quantity of brollies so on a first come first served basis come and get them.
As Curly has described me as a traveling salesman I’ll even deliver( aye right)
Celticrollercoaster you have an email and as you live nearby I will deliver to you.
seriously if you live anywhere between Glasgow and West Lothian we can work something out
If you live abroad and want to show off CQN on the golf course/club house or are going on a golfing holiday these polo’s are Kwalityman
Curly and every other new CQN’er that I met on Friday it was a pleasure.

could we not organize a meal in Glasgow after the racing, I’d fancy doing that, maybe La Laterna or similar.We have a month to organise it, you’ll need a month to book a table at La Laterna,If you fancy it let me know and I’ll book the table, table’ s
Roy croppie
I likey the looky of big dick ( van dijk) and I trust our scouts too.
As for vic… an offer in excess of £10m with a sell on clause would see him wave bye bye to us
Twist n Turns .
Try your dambedest.to get Chris to go too the Races. I just posted that at 16.32pm, re Chris,and getting him to Hamilton.
I think that the level of debate on this blog re. Scottish Independence is, for the most part, higher than in MSM. Snake’s poem articulated my feelings quite well but I do agree that there is a strong anti Irish/Catholic sentiment at large in Scotland. Yet those who are the most vocal against Irish/Catholic/Celtic views are themselves the most abusive detractors of the Yes campaign. I mean, if we have the Tories, the zombies,and Ray Winstone in one camp, logic dictates I should be in the other.
Even if we are to have a slightly lower GDP per capita following independence, which is highly debatable, I am still more inclined to vote Yes.
Should there be a Yes vote, the raison detre of the SNP is accomplished and our politics would resume along left/right lines. Should the zombies try to play the orange card, a la 1913, it would fail dismally. Who is going to follow follow the zombies?
My gut instinct, though, tells me there will be a No vote. Shame.
Enough politics! The close season is murder. HH
So Man U have made their move, bidding war, bidding war, bidding war, didn’t narcs ask to be updated if any bids were made ?
Narcs=barca
I’m thinking those most vocal advocates of independence on here are not RC and therefore don’t really care about the treatment of RCs under the existing regime.

Tell Chris I was asking after him, thinking of you all.

Pleas also pass on my regards to young Chris. Think I was one of the first to respond to him when he first started posting.
Hope you’re well too.
Canalamar1
that is possibly the most ridiculous and uninformed comment I have ever read on this blog. Insulting doesn’t cover it.
Canamalar that was paranoid esque!
I was nyacking to and old English gent on holiday re the UKIP which he was a part of, we were discussing also the Scottish independence vote. I explained that I don’t have the vote in Scotland but I’ll vote for an independent England when that comes on the table :>)
End of conversation but I never mentioned that I’d be retiring/ leaving shortly after :>)
