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.

  3. Djbee,

    Italian defender should have been off at the penalty.

    Understandable under the circumstances but I bet she did not call it Roasted cheese.

    Just watched the Van Dijk youtube clip somebody posted earlier. So we’re in for a CB who is a better striker than Murphy, Rasmussen or Bangura .

     

    What’s not to like? As long as he can defend as well, of course.

    Sleazy jet took 40 quid off a young lady on a recent Belfast flight we were on.

     

    As she returned from her wedding in Glasgow.

    Mrs gene and i went eazy git to belfast -handbag counted as a piece of hand luggage had to squeeze it into holdall

  10. Palacio,

     

    Dimensions are on your boarding pass if youve already printed, if you’re heading for Costa Del Sol, let me know, we’re in Fuengirola atm

  11. pfayr,

     

    I find if you take your place in the queue behind someone whose baggage looks dodgy you usually gat waved through whilst they mug the poor blighter, worked well on more than one occasion

  12. Grilled cheese I am sort of ok with as it is factuallly correct although somewhat, dare I say snobbish, either way it is not roasted.

  13. Glendalystonsils likes a mr whippy with his lime green jelly on

    I’ve tried making toasted cheese but I can’t stop the cheese falling to the bottom when I put it in the toaster.

  14. Thanks for the replies. I have read up on the regulations and it is a sports holdall I am taking very lightweight and flexible, with a wee squeeze here and there it should fit in a doddle.

     

    Are they trying to get everyone to buy a rigid case that just drops in their basket?

    No she didn’t. Didn’t call it Welsh Rarebit either. Once , in a moment of high drama over the dinner table threatened to hit my uncle Eddie ‘atween the face’ He was 28 at the time

  16. I was flying to Geneva once …guy had a cabin bag well within dimensions …had a laptop which he was carrying in a wee sleeve thing …couldn’t fit the laptop in the bag…done for £40

    I put the toaster flat on its side with cheese on the top side of the bread -but you need a catching mitt when it pops

  18. To futher prove my point, who has ever had:-

     

     

    A cheese n onion roastie.

     

    A cheese n ham roastie

     

    A cheese n pickle roastie

     

    A ham n tomato roastie

     

    A Cheese n tomato roastie

     

     

    And when you were at your best mates wedding did you ever stand up and roast the happy couple.

     

     

    I hope not.

     

     

    I rest my case.

  19. Congrats to the gowfers and climbers you are a credit to all timdom Ahmed jeal

     

    I haven’t been able to keep up with the blog this weekend due to work

     

    But at 6:15 this morning my bairns were at my bedside with a cuppa and a Celtic Father’s Day card and a new Celtic top

  20. I know welders and caulker burners used to use their torches to roast ? Toast ? Torch their cheese mind you tac welding might get a bit messy, still no sure how he likes his, if indeed superstars don’t call it Welsh rarebit what do they call it
