I sat in a Foundation meeting with a group of Celtic fans on Saturday, it is beyond credible what is done in our name – and there’s much more to come.
Last week the Foundation appointed a Disability Sports Ambassador, while earlier this month, we saw the opening of Celtic Park Haiti, a magnificent assistance project in one of the world’s poorest countries. In the first week of this month the Foundation made news across the globe for leading the way in their response to the refugee crisis (well, the Washington Post covered it, even if some in our own backyard didn’t).
September started with the news that CLIC Sargent’s new Home from Home in Glasgow opened with the assistance of a £60k donation of your money. CLIC offer support for families coping with child cancer.
All this, just in September!
Ambition for the Foundation is limited to the practicalities of what’s possible to deliver. To this end, several dozen of us have signed up to compete (cough) for the Foundation in the Great Scottish Run on Sunday. For most of us, it takes many months’ hard work to get to the point that you’re lining up in George Square with 10k or a half marathon ahead of you.
I’m running the half marathon, my first time at an event over 10k (only done 3 of those). It’s been a summer on the roads, the highlight of which was the fastest recorded run up Airbles Road. Running in a Celtic T-shirt through a crowd watching an Orange Walk puts more energy in the legs than any amount of carb loading.
There are lots of ways you can participate in the work:
Here, for my linked donation page.
If you are doing the GSR for the Foundation and would like a shout out for donations, email me, celticquicknews@gmail.com
Many thanks for your help, it’s appreciated.

HEBCELT

Bliddy painful. I was prescribed,IIRC,Postan 40. Like horse tablets. Never taken prescription drugs since. Damn near killed me!

BMCUW,
Horse tablets, don’t get carried away. Saw a horse touted on here at 15 to 1.
Don’t back it, horses are u/s at General knowledge.

Had a wee panic there when I got your scam/spam whatever, email, so just ignore the emails I sent to your AOL account. Raised the half a million for your Nigerian bank account and will deposit in your KOSC account immediately.
B;antyre Tim
if you are on-line – someone is using your e-mail address (or similar) to solicit funds for ‘your sick cousin in France who needs surgery’.
Hope you see this.

Clever,I took a while to get that.
I’ve never seen a horse at 15/1 in the bookies,mind…
SIPSINI
Feeling brave jooooooost because yer outa the country while I’m home? I’ve decided to join ACGR’s crowd-funding assassination attempt on you.
Oops – Blantyre Tim (sorry about typo)

Cpl of fitness fanatics at my work have mentioned a guy called Gal Kantor who has a practice near Charing X. Highly regarded for back and neck injuries. I overheard someone saying they were able to make an appointment with him through the nhs.
Might b of use to u
Biggest price change I’ve ever seen at a bookies.
Chesterfield,11/4 as mentioned earlier,now 5/6.
I gracefully declined their offer…
On the left back question. I will say right away that with Izzy unavailable, there is no perfect option. However I think we have to risk Blackett. Left back is supposedly his favoured position, and he must have squared up to Nani many times at Munure training. Who knows, we recently heard how frequent dressing room bust ups were, maybe he once decked Nani, and Nani, never having been a man for the physical confrontation, may not fancy running down the his wing. Just a thought!
Anyhoo, the sun is splitting the heavens in the Highlands, the last vestiges of disappointment at Saturday’s draw have evaporated, excitement for Thursday builds. We can put ourselves in pole position with a win, everything is possible, and everything is ahead of us. Positivity please. C’mon the Hoops. ⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️ :-)
Hail Hail
The wing, his wing -take your pick. Better with one or other, not both.
Hebcelt
Give Anna Porter a call. 2 sessions 3 years ago and I’ve never looked back with pain.

Not even to Sept 18?
My cure all for pain is a non prescription drug called “alcohol”.
Sometimes you need to double or treble the dose, but it works for me.

You are now appointed my own personal physician. There’s little you can teach me,of course,but you can remind me of the true path to painless living.
Lessons must be learned.
From the moment that we were linked with Nadir Cifti I felt dismayed.
It is my opinion that he is an ordinary SPFL level striker.
His goal scoring rate at this level is mediocre.
His ability to take Celtic to a higher level in European football is massively doubtful in my mind.
His performances against RRFC and HMFC have done nothing to change my early concerns and opinions of him.
We are in need of a Carlton Cole type Centre Forward.
Coles own goal scoring record is pretty poor ,but most will feel that this is in the EPL , and that he would bang them in for fun in the SPFL.
We are about to find out if Cole still has the appetite for competitive football,or if it is more important that he fills his bank account playing soul less football in Quatar or the more competitive MSL.
THE FACT THAT HE IS HAVING TO BE CONVINCED TO JOIN CELTIC should make us walk away.
We only need look at the careers of David James,Sol Campbell,and Jamie Bullard after they rejected Celtic.
I suspect if the alternative offers for Cole are actually real ,then he and his agent will follow the money.
Our need is great ,but we would be better waiting until January if he needs convinced.

TINYTIM
Ciftci? Prior to Dundee Utd,he had scored two goals in senior football.
Two decent seasons,but nothing that made me say ‘Sign him!’
I hope he comes good,I really do.
But…
As for Carlton Cole,I reckon PL will sign him after the international break to save on the wages!!!!
TinyTim on 29th September 2015 11:19 am
History suggests Cole will have a better rate here than in the EPL. Sutton went from 1 in 3 to 1 in 2. Hartson went from under 1 in 2 to over 1 in 2.
Difference of course is they arrived at a much younger age.
WEEMINGER
How do Flo’s stats compare?
TINYTIM-There is no working parts with Ciftci.
Cole is seemingly waiting for a big payday from the middle east….
BOBBY MURDOCH’S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS
Don’t know and don’t care. It’s not really relevant to the history of strikers coming to Celtic with and EPL scoring rate and whether it improved in Scotland.
Even Ian Wright at 36 managed to more or less maintain his scoring rate, albeit over only 8 games.
Bada Bing
that must be some deal Livi pulled off with Tony macaroni if they can now affor Cole?
MWD said AYE Middle East of Scotland ya numpty :)
Weeminger,
A more appropriate comparison imo is Dion Dublin who scored one goal for us.
His previous goal ratio in the EPL was a goal in just over three games

Your first appointment will be 10th October!!
WEEMINGER
Is that the same Ian Wright who referred to Celtic fans as morons?
PHILBHOY
Magic,mate. I’ve never followed medical advice before-it always starts wi words like-don’t.
Been thinking about your comment the other day about Olivia wanting to be there. I think it’s a marvellous idea.
And as a father of a smashing wee teenager,so should you-we’ll put her off men for life!!!!
Greenpinata on 29th September 2015 11:49 am
Perhaps although transfermarkt suggests he only played 343 minutes of league football for us. Not quite 4 games, so it’s a little hard to judge. His 5 in 58 for Leicester should have been a warning though.
BOBBY MURDOCH’S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS
What does that have to do with a discussion about scoring rates? I haven’t even suggested at any point that Cole or any other players mentioned is, was or would be a good signing.
seen twin kids down the street bashing each other with baseball bats…
must be the new krays….
