This morning world football has plenty reason to be ashamed of itself. US prosecutors yesterday charged 16 Fifa officials, on top of the 14 charged earlier this year. As well as taking bribes and kick-backs, it is alleged money designated for charitable causes such as the relief of natural disasters, were siphoned off by Fifa executives. In recent years we’ve seen how revenue from charity games have been hijacked by club officials to pay bills, or perhaps fund signing bids for Daniel Cousin.
Tomorrow you are going to see the most Ethical Football Club in the World do its thing. Thousands of you will support the Foundation Christmas Appeal by putting money in buckets as you enter the ground.
That money will do incredible things.
It will support the Scottish Refugee Council, as they aid some of the world’s most vulnerable who have recently arrived in Scotland.
It will support the volunteers who run The Invisibles, who help homeless charities in Glasgow by providing sleeping bags, clothing and toiletries for rough sleepers.
It will support the Glasgow City Mission, in their work with vulnerable adults and families with disadvantaged pre-school children.
It will support the incredible work of the Wayside Club, who provide food, shower, shaving and First Aid facilities to Glasgow’s homeless 365 days a year.
It will support Loaves and Fishes, who open their doors to people who need clothes, toiletries and food.
It will support Glasgow East Women’s Aid, who work with women, children and young people affected by domestic abuse.
And it will support the Salvation Army, who have been a lifeline for countless thousands for longer than Celtic have been in existence.
The bar on ethics in football is not set particularly high, few clubs have a social mission as their core value. None do it like Celtic, the most Ethical Football Club in the World – bar none.
This is the story of football in Scotland 2015, no matter what happens in Switzerland or the Concafa region. You should be proud of your part in this great story. Let’s make it a good one tomorrow – and let people know this is happening tomorrow.

I used to just slide by your religious guff,thinking you were a wee bit like The Jehovahs Witnesses that used to pester everyone.No real harm,but a bit off the wall.Now ,after that post,I have to tell you,you are going to the “Bad fire”.
TET,
I like you. I think. Most of the things you post I admire.
But, I live here in Scotland and I really think that what you portray doesn’t exist.
You have obviously had some major….don’t know the word….wrongs…done to you with regards to who you are.
I really don’t think though that you can blame a whole nation of people who are no different to anyone other…struggling again here for a word to represent a geographical area…
Come on, where’s your cave and I can visit when this job’s done next summer?
Sorry for that doble post byrraway…Ah’m on a phone here..mwhat with effin adverts buttin in…
Andyr53…Where is TET right may i Ask
BGX
So you think I need help.
Aye maybes I do, for responding to you, you are right, you come on here and trumpet porn queens, aye, right enough, a winker.
I reckon all that winking is making you go blind
The Huddle,
Meant to address you in that last meat post as well….apologies!

…………………………………………………………….
Answer the question Dood.
You are not answering a Simplified question.
I’d hate to ask if ” Jesus Christ died to take away all of our Sins”
You make me feel so Real
Answer the question.

I like you too, seriously I do, It’s not often that supporters of other clubs can post and be accepted on other clubs blogs, fair play to you.
I know the cabal inside out, it’s a family thing.
I know that if you cross them you are struggling to survive in a meaningful way, I crossed them, again and again cos they are scum, and I told them so again and again, it was the wrong thing to do in their eyes, but hey, when you are young and daft.
Mail me @ nohunshere@hotmail.com and I will fill you in.

Exiled Tim…
How right you are..
Why do we not see this?? why do we, as a club, as a supporters group, not take action against the anti Catholic media by banning them from our ground, and refusing interviews.?
When the tax dodging scum reach the spfl next year and cheat and lie their way to the title, and our support has dwindled to 10,000 because, the honest supporters have had enough of our club supporting them.. what will we say, when they ask.. what did you do to stop it.
The intelligence of the enemy is out of this World.
And that Iris Dement video I think is from our own very dear Dougie MacLean’s amazing, unrepeatable, best program ever made – 2 series – “Transatlantic Sessions”.
I bought the videos for family at Christmas years ago…and I still haven’t seen all the Songs.
That last post was to The Huddle….and byrraway.. Ah’m no related to dougie…
THE EXILED TIM on 5th December 2015 12:25 am
First up.
I haven`t lived in Scotland for 30 years now,so I can`t give a first hand account of the current situation.
My extended family used to talk about the rampant anti-Catholicism in their day …………..job advertisements………No Catholic need apply. Virtually no Catholic medical specialists .
Things have improved.An old mate of mine is currently the president of an august medical institution.
The main point.It really is very insulting to Scottish people who love their country and it`s people to hear your description. Every country has it`s unreconstructed bigots.Including Scotland. I think they now form a tiny minority.
You live in Spain ? That`s a country which has an interesting history of political intolerance. I`m sure it has it`s own nutters.
:-)
Dearie me, the huns must be desperate for cash, I see that the magic hat is fav for the swansea job, fair play to level 5, they are spinning yer man to be the best thing since sliced bread :-)
Get him off the books asap, it’s magic so it is.
AWE_NAW_NO_ANNONI_OAN_ANAW_NOO on 4TH DECEMBER 2015 4:40 PM
Auldheid,
Your first premise I disagree with. Look at Sevco …. how many millions ?? The club is those that come together for a unified cause. Cause not business.

==%%%%%%==%%===
Surely the example you quote is what happens when you ignore the interdependent nature of the game and the balance required to live with it?
Does it matter how a result is achieved?
It’s Scotland ‘s shame that what is the morally correct thing to do has to depend on an ambush to succeed.
JEEZO…this place is INSANE…last September i Stood in George Sq with my 12yo son Supporting the Fight for an Independent Scotland, Stood beside People of all Ages, From all different Backgrounds..Wasnt Asked My Religion or what School i went to or even more Pathetic, What Football team i supported..We Lost, not by a Lot…Now on CQN im lead to believe by other posters that im in as much danger as the Jews in NAZI Germany…….Sorry…I dont feel That way..Maybe because i believe that Scotland is My Country, Glasgow is my City and i Aint Sitting at The Back of The Bus for No Man…

Oh Petec
Who made you a judge?

ANDY
I don’t want to be right, I so desperatly want to be wrong,but I just can’t see it.
The system is geared up against us, and by us I mean Irish, Catholic, Celtic, in any order you choose.
I read a piece by Lenny the other week, and he was scathing about the help he didn’t get when they were sending him the bombs and the bullets, just imagine if it had been the other way about, the media would have been creaming themselfs, he was pissed about what happened in Edinburgh, again he brought it on himself, this is scotland, a place where everything is wonderful if you are not an Irish Catholic Celtic man.

I haven’t lived in scotland for 20 + years, my weans do, they keep me abreast of what’s happening, I read the blogs, I read the media, I watch the tele, I speak to people who live there, so like yourself I have an incling what life is like there.
All I have ever said is never say never, I keep, and will keep harking back to the north when the brits went there to protect the Catholics, and within a few months turned against them, just don’t ever say it can’t happen in scotland.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I love yer stuff about spreading the wealth, your mind is awesome, I will always attack anyone who tries to introduce a new Doctrine that says Christ Didn’t die to save the World.
Spin it all you want… I know what you are, please start promoting Christ Resurrected….
…..and I will have another happy thing in my life.
