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.

One Sunday morning about 30 years ago my big mate and I liberated a bottle of GLENFARCLAS 105 from a wee place in Edinburgh,The Leslie Arms.
Owner gave it to us for a tenner as no-one ever asked for it.
Eejit.
It got tanned.
Slowly and carefully,and with great pleasure…..
Eurochamps,
Firstly hope your mum was keeping a bit better today.
Was good to meet up again. Had a great day also. Got home a similar time as yourself thanks to a certain Mr P67 offering me a lift home rather than returning on the Party Bus!
Im sure they had a ball heading back, but i was a tad tired and somewhat more sober than certain others….no names…. sannabhoy :-)…….so decided to take the fast route home.
I honestly dont remember too much about that 1st shot as i was shaking like a leaf before hitting it. I actually stopped in between practice swings to tell the bhoys watching how much i was shaking!
Lets just say the comments after the shot, were far from complimentary ;-)
Alas, given my overall score, you will not be in the slightest bit surprised to hear i missed the birdie putt. Did hole for the par, somewhat underwhelmed at that point though…..
The Gazebo is a must for next year though!
hope to get a round in with the others of the CQN Gowf Club soon and should see you then.
HAIL! HAIL!

I know that bar. Good howff on the south side of the city.
I remember staying in a hotel in Tomintoul and having a couple of the Glenfarclas – had been at a Ceilidh in the town hall so it seemed only right and fitting!

has anyone ever had a pint with a so-called Celtic fan with the same mindset as the Singing D ? What about a second pint ?

BigYinMilan,
didnt know Davie Syme’s father was a ref too.
I knew/know Davie Syme’s son and he was a budding ref also, but decided he couldnt be bothered with the hassle and favouritism (in his favour because of his name incidentally!) and cronyism within the ranks of the refs/sfa.
A good lad is/was symie…. for a hun that is of course.
HAIL! HAIL!

The Virgo story is really interesting. The fact that it made a lead story in the MSM is baffling. He made 10 appearances in three years. The DR story says that he was dropped in favour of Du Wei as Celtic wanted to make money from the Chinese TV market:
“The manager played a Chinese boy instead as he was told the game would be live on Chinese television, so the club would get more money.”
Yet according to the BBC, Du Wei was substituted for Virgo!

Have a look at Celtic’s squad to play Clyde!
Could it be that Media House are feeding their favourite paper copy in order to prevent scrutiny of deidco’s ever decreasing cycle into the devil’s own crapper?

Neighbour told me a real funny story of how his workmate .. who hates the jambos… gave the rim of the jug a rimming the week before last years final.
Kieran made a point of saying he doesn’t go to that Mass anymore in the interview I was reading.
That was about all he did say of note right enough.
David Syme Senior was killed many years ago when his jag wrapped itself around a lamp post on St Andrews Drive in the wee sma’ hours.
Young Davie was followed up the tunnel after a terrible first half display by Jock Stein on one occasion when Jock heralded him with ‘with that display, your father would be proud of you’.
jude2005 is Neil Lennon \o/ 20:31 on 15 June, 2013
He likes to be called Potter apparently – after the Peter Kay character.
Anybody else on here been tapped for their father’s day gift?!! Sevco economics!!!!

It wasn’t personal. Celtic aren’t going to get dragged into their skulduggery. We’re Daddy now.

Sanna’s Tequileros did indeed get hammered And he tried to get a sleep but yes, thanks to us he stayed awake.
Aye he mentioned that he regretted trying to keep up with PF.

Now, if I was a mad bampot of Irish decent who wanted to go down in history as the man who destroyed the bastard offspring of rangers from the inside, then I would;
Insist I’d been a supporter since childhood
Insist I was putting substancial fund into the club (when he’s not)
Emphasise the desire to have them back where they belong at the top of world football
highlight professional background, not religeous and national one.
Leave Kieran alone. He’s doing a grand job.
I thot they were sorta tellin us he’s an Irish Tim. Ta Bhoys!!
F.Y.I.

The publication by the DR of that piece might , if it were possible , represent a new low in their frenzy to print anything negative about us.
An absolute no mark of a player whinging about events from 8 years ago involving a manager who left several years ago and reported with no apparent independent checking of the facts. All apparently “strongly ” denied by the club.
The fact that there is no direct quote from the club is hardly surprising given that I’d be surprised if anyone currently at the club even remembers Virgo , even if anyone from the Record had actually taken the trouble to ask.
Utter nonsense. I’m annoyed at myself that I’ve even wasted the time to comment on it.
Just phoned my faither to get some stories on MIB referee Davidson….
The line went dead and all I could hear was ranting and raving in the background!
My poor ma, what have I done?
Just off the phone to apologise to my poor ma.
She has sedated him and put him to bed.
She says he was foaming at the mouth and shouting incoherently about a cup final years ago!
