If you are going to Celtic Park tomorrow you will see a lot of photos like the one above. Outside the ground 200 bucketeers will be collecting to raise money to send Oscar Knox for treatment for neauroblastoma.
Be prepared. Bring spare cash with you, have it ready and do your bit for Oscar.
For the second week in a row we take on the team at the bottom of the table; see how that worked out last week. After an awful August which saw Dundee’s return to the SPL marked with one point and no goals scored from four games, they picked up three points at Tynecastle before losing a lead late in the game against Motherwell last weekend. Manager Barry Smith will have watched how St Johnstone went about their business six days ago and will believe his team can nick something at Celtic Park.
Neil Lennon (and some of us) will welcome the drop in intensity from Wednesday’s Champions League tie as Celtic are likely to give game time to those who joined the club three weeks ago. Miku, Lassad and Ambrose all need to stretch their legs.
Big shout again for the guys raising money for Celtic Youth Development through TicPick. It’s £1 to enter and you win £1000 for predicting 10 results. I’ve gone for Celtic to beat Dundee, West Ham to beat Sunderland, Aberdeen and Motherwell to draw, Man City to beat Arsenal, St Mirren to beat Killie, Dundee United to beat Hearts, Man Utd to beat Liverpool, Hibs to beat Inverness, Chelsea to beat Stoke and Spurs to beat QPR.

I’m up early so, although wishing we could take this further, alas I must depart.
However, I must point out that it is the desire for wealth at the expense of others that has left society in the state it’s in currently.
To use an analogy similar to yours, would the world be a better place if drug dealers didn’t see the value of a BMW X5 as being of greater worth than the life of the heroin user they sell to?

Big Georges Fan Club – philvisreturns – pity le petit merde? Difficult.
I know he hasn’t committed any crime, but he’s the kind of client you’d love to defend if you were a barrister or advocate.
Rather, I prefer to look at in isolation, as the greed-driven actions of a back-stabbing sleekit wee ratbag – perhaps a tad harsh, but there you go.
It is harsh. He was – what, 26 when he signed for the huns? Not that long out of his teens, and not the brightest of young men to begin with. He didn’t know what he was letting himself in for.

tarrant @ 23:40 – Thanks, I’m not sure what your arguments are though
I rambled and digressed. It’s Friday. To quote Bill Hicks, “you’re a Christian, forgive me.”
1. High-profile Christians often don’t act like Christians. Low-profile ones too.
2. Atheists don;’t have an official guidebook or role model, so are less exposed to accusations of hypocrisy. If they are perma-raging, maybe it’s because they’re not acting with any consideration to an afterlife so are frustrated at the failure of humanity in general – many of whom, as an expectation of their faith, endure suffering today in the hope of eternal salvation tomorrow – to make the best of the only real world in which they actually exist.
3. Never play in a football match between Muslims and Sikhs. Especially if you’re obviously neither and therefore can be considered to be taking a side in a war you didn’t know was happening.

It is a surprising beautiful kit, and from someone that bought the Umbro box kit 1988 and loved it. It makes me all happy inside.

I’ve just finished reading a book ‘Child 44’ which is fundamentally a murder mystery but it is set in the Soviet Union at the time of Stalin’s death. I need to do a bit more factual reading on this but it seems plausible in its descriptions of the evil that pervaded the politics of that country at that time. As you say – atheist politics. Co-incidentally, I enjoyed some comments on here earlier today where someone described their father (maybe grandfather) abandoning the Communist party as it was seemed too much like religion.
Further co-incidentally, I ad the pleasure of the company of a communist and anarchist in Babbity’s following the last ever ‘big’ Glasgow derby earlier this year. How may tractors did it take for the communist to be able to afford a drink in BBs?

Have you ever seen the interview on hun tv when souness proclaimed how much he enjoyed kicking celtic when they were down, when Judas put his x on the blue paper.

well i am a very happy atheist
most of the wars in history were caused by religion
Religion, like any other aspect that can identify or indicate differences between people – skin colour, geographical location, wealth, nationality – is used as the basis or the excuse to wage war; it is not the cause of war.
WW2 was not about Jews.
Northern Ireland was not about Catholic v Protestant. The preceding 800 years in Ireland before that was not about religion either.
Religion was used in both of these wars, waged by Christians, and in many more, to justify the war, which to me is an utter abomination and desecration of the word of God as laid down in the Bible.
Love each other as you would be loved yourself.
That’s the fundamental message of Christianity, and of other religions – the Golden Rule. That’s also how a lot of atheists – Richard Dawkins included – try to live.
If you’ve nothing nice to say, say nothing. Or try harder to think of something nice.My mum.
tarrant – Blaming that turd for our years of misery is like blaming Gavram Princip for WW1. It was waiting to happen, he just accelerated it then got lumbered with the blame.
A very apt simile.
Archduke Ferdinand was on his way to a dinner in which “bombe surprise” was on the menu, so the poor bugger was probably doomed, Serbian Black Hand or no. (thumbsup)
shady – I hate the fact that when you make an appearance on here there seems to be a crowd waiting to throw stones.
Thank you, but I don’t mind one bit. I do wish I had more time to respond to every comment though.
Regards Bill Gates, if Microsoft had open-sourced their product, built a healthy and substantial business based on support revenues and customisations for select clients, many of the nations that the Foundation now donates to (with strings) would not have had to spend millions on buying Windows/Office etc.
I truly doubt it. If Microsoft had made an open-source DOS (and open source wasn’t really a “thing” at the time) they probably would today still be a small, struggling software house instead of an incredible engine of wealth that has created hundreds of millionaires and employs nearly 100,000 people and has generated huge sums for charity.
As for “spending millions”, nobody’s ever been forced at gunpoint to buy anything from Bill Gates. Unlike any government you can name.
We now have a schism where decisions on what is appropriate for massive funds to be spent on in is in the hands of a wealthy, upper class American family – rather than by locally elected government.
And so it should be, for government appropriates wealth by force, whereas Bill Gates earned every single penny he has through peaceful exchange. And the man is nearly all of it away, yet still some people aren’t happy. (thumbsup)
Hamiltontim – However, I must point out that it is the desire for wealth at the expense of others that has left society in the state it’s in currently.
I agree. We have far too many people in this country who are content to live off the backs of others, who expect the government to act as a substitute Daddy keeping them in a state of childlike dependency all of their lives. It’s time we got them off benefits and into work. (thumbsup)
Taranis – agitated ? if you knew me, bit like saying i have not powdered my feet yet…but seen your style maybe yet to powder your nipples ?

It was all worth it ……. I would have tolerated a lot more than we did then if I had known the outcome was going to be the demise of the bhun ……. Never saw that ‘dream of all dreams ‘ coming …….
On another subject ……l it is the hypocrisy of all hypocrisies for the SFA to raise a complaint against Celtic for ‘that’ banner, when, at EVERY game the zombies, and now the zombies in waiting played, their hoardes roar out WITH IMPUNITY…
“with a pistol, and a rifle, in my hand”…….
As we have always tried to do, we should totally ignore the media. …… They relentlously pursue Celtic, whilst doing everything to defend the indefensible coming out of the crypt that is iPox …..for example, I was astonished, but not surprised, when the media ‘to a man’ made nothing at all of David Murray transferring out a quantity of shares when he (obviously) saw the ‘ship (sorry ‘tip’) was sinking’….. That was a MAJOR indicator as to where this was all leading…..raised an eyebrow with me, let me tell you …!!!!!!!! …LOL … I became very excited from that point……l
We cannot change the media, but we can, and should, at least bhoycott he dr / sun / phone-ins…
sipsini – Yes, saw that interview. (thumbsup)
Thindimebhoy – I agree with you. (thumbsup)
Sipsini
If nothing else we have helped expand their world
vocabulary with new words like hubris and schadenfreude.
philvis – “I’m a huge fan of greed, and a huge fan of charity. Unless one has the greed to amass excess wealth, one can never expect to be able to effectively fund charity.”
Go along to Celtic Park tomorrow and watch about 200 ordinary Celtic fans with buckets effectively raising funds to help a very brave young bhoy. Hopefully, they will raise £20K towards a target figure of £250K.
What will you be doing, apart from being a flabby-moothed attention seeker?

A quick ramble thru Lord Nimmo Smith’s opinion –
The “EBT” charges cover a period from 23rd November 2000 to 3rd May 2011.
This includes a charge of fielding ineligible players.
There is a further charge against Rangers (In administration) for failing to co-operate after March 15 this year, which is capable at the very least of causing Duff and Phelps embarrassment.
There is a clear distinction between the Independent Commission set up by the SPL and the SPL itself.
No fair-minded and informed observer would consider the possibility that the Commission or a member thereof was biased.
Rangers dropped the bias argument before the hearing on 11th September.
Mr Green has said the SPL refused to reply to his lawyers.
The Commission says that the SPL’s lawyer did so by letter and in numerous emails.
Which of the two statements above is correct?
Oldco and NewCo were going to turn up, represented by the same lawyer, to argue that the SPL had no jurisdiction. At the last minute they declined to attend.
The SPL undoubtedly has jurisdiction over OLDCO.
The SPL undoubtedly has jurisdiction over THE CLUB.
The club is a separate but non-legal entity which continues notwithstanding transfer from one owner to another. Rangers Football Club therefore continue as before even though ownership has been transferred.
The SPL has no jurisdiction over NEWCO, but as it has power to impose sanctions on the club, owned by newco, newco has a direct interest in proceedings.
Therefore newco could face all of the punishments for the offences if proved, on the basis that the club it bought was guilty of them.
The administrators’ argument that this was a legal process and as such ought to be stopped without their consent failed. The case can go forward to a full hearing.

Eric S Raymond and others would beg to differ on the timing of the birth of “open source”.
It makes me sad to think that you believe it right that a “wealthy, upper class American family” are the correct people to be making the spending decision for other countries, yet describe receivers of benefits in this country as “in a state of childlike dependency”.
