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.

    My info a couple of years ago around the time the OO declared publicly they were backing the SNP for the 2011 MSP electionthe only time I can remember them doing that.

     

     

    That Salmond had sent a third party to meet the top brass of the OO, he promised he would keep the Queen as head of state, and phase out Catholic schools by only agreeing to shared campuses end of over time.

     

     

    The OO immediately backed the SNP in the Herald the SNP have confirmed they will keep the Queen only part to be delivered is ending Catholic schools, Salmond would agree to anything for his dream.

     

     

    AS for Frank Mulholland who classes me a criminal as an Irish republican but funny it is not illegal to be a Scottish republican FM has been bought and paid for that is how the SNP operate get used to it.

    I posted the other day that there are many many heart broken and disappointed people in Mullhollands home town over his choices and actions on his way up the career ladder.

     

     

    His comments on stv the other night were partiularly sad to hear coming out his mouth.

    I like cheese on toast i also like toasted cheese

     

     

    Two entirely different dishes.Cheese (untoasted) on toast is a pale and disappointing relative of toasted (i.e. both cheese and bread toasted) cheese.

  19. If my grill is in my oven is it roasted or toasted cheese?

     

     

    Stephbhoy1 ( I think) look out for torontotony. He likes his golf…

    I have been told by a few people who have been interviewed for quango appointments the new deal breaker question is if the quango has a dispute with Govt. who would you support if you give the wrong answer it is a non appointment. This was also the case with the Police and Fire Boards set up in April.

     

     

    I see Stephen House is winning his battles with his Board I wonder what promises he has given
