Over the last few days we have worked with Mary’s Meals to identify a second school without basic facilities in one of the most deprived areas of the world. We have confirmed St Josephs’ Primary School in Kasungu, Malawi (the 17th poorest country in the world), which has a roll of 746 pupils and no facilities to provide food, meaning many children have to work to feed themselves instead of being educated.
The necessary permissions have been confirmed, and Mary’s Meals can send resources there as soon as money is available. If we are successful, St Joseph’s will get a brick-built kitchen which will double as a classroom with stoves, pots, utensils, spoons and mugs. As a result, kids will attend school to get what on many occasions will be their only meal of the day. They will also get an education and better chances in later life.
The cost of the kitchen is £7000. We are only six days out from CQteN so we shouldn’t expect miracles but we’ll be here until the job is done.
Construction is underway at our first school at the Kholoni Primary School in Mchinji, Malawi, which has a school roll of 1221 children.
We have a donations page for CQN Mary’s Meals’ projects, if you would like to help out, you can do so here.
Seville, The Celtic Movement, launches this month.
“There were 10 in our party and collecting the tickets took priority. Once we had them we could afford time to eat, but what? Several restaurants were sold out but we eventually found a café with frozen chips and a meat-based slab of something or other. No choices. No beer, wine or cola either, it was diluting orange juice or water. An entire city was pretty much emptied of food and drink.”

We could get Bobby along to Chandlers.
Afternoon, just in from the boys game against Barrhead, was a decent effort from both teams U15, the big yin scored the winner 2-1… maybe some day, oh to see him in the hoops, we can but dream.
Ayrshire is Green and White
I received a copy of the Glasgow Herald of March 9th. 1944, which, coincidentally coincides with the day of my birth.
Amongst many fascinating items, dominated, of course, by wartime events, was a paragraph about a turnstile operator getting jailed for thirty days, for stealing £42 from Celtic FC.
I’m only guessing, but the admission price couldn’t have been more than 1s., in those days, therefore, he must have been at it for quite a while.
One consolation was thst he didn’t have a “Timmy” sounding name!!
Delaney,s
I am not sure my vocal talents would be appreciated in the Chandlers once the Devil’s Buttermilk had been copiously quaffed.

Has this been covered in here?
I’m on a slow weblink and don’t have time to go checking:
Barcabhoy þ@Barcabhoy1 · 11h
The Oxford English Dictionary definition of Remuneration is “Money paid for work or a service”
Barcabhoy þ@Barcabhoy1 · 11h
The minutes of the Rangers plc board meeting of 16/9/99 refer 3 times to remuneration package for Craig Moore via dos ebt. REMUNERATION !!!
If true – it blows the loans defence pish oot the Big Hoose’s windae Shirley?
The huns already conceded the DOS payments were illegal. That was the WeeTax Case. The SFA advanced the dates for the LNS investigation from 1999 to 2001 so that their illegality did not come under his consideration. The fix was in.
The UTT does not cover the DOS, just the EBTs. And I fear it’s going to be kicked into touch. I’m praying I’m wrong.
The SFA did not advance the dates. The date changed because Duff & Phelps did not provide the lawyers acting for the SPL with documents held that were dated after 1 July 1998 which was the date the SPL started and announced by the SPL as the date enquiries should start from
LNS however was commissioned to start looking at ebts from 23 November 2000 and the reason for that is that 23 Nov was the earliest dated side letter that was supplied. It probably related to Flo but without this little set of beauties
http://www.scribd.com/doc/210130622/2011-03-23-Rangers-DOS-Docs
being supplied then the lawyers would not have realised that the Flo (and De Boer) ebt was actually irregular and Thornhill had advised Rangers to concede because they had lied to HMRC in 2005 when HMRC asked specifically if Rangers had side letters for De Boer and Flo.
It was all of this that prompted the letter at http://www.tsfm.net/scottish-football-an-honest-game-honestly-governed/#comments
to go to Harper Macleod, who were doing the commissioning that never got the pre 23 November documents, it also went to the SPFL CEO and the SPFL Board. They have been sitting on it for a fortnight now.
Questions for Ogilvie come from these two documents from Sep 1999 that should also have been supplied to H M when they asked as part of the commissioning.

http://i.imgur.com/ytPbuSp.jpg
and some of the questions he should be asked are at
http://scotfans4change.wordpress.com/2014/03/04/what-did-ogilvie-know/
At the very least the SPFL should use this misdirection of LNS, whatever the reason, to put aside LNS in its entirety because he treated the De Boer and Flo ebts as regular and wait for the UTT decision.
It looks like a cover up of what the wee tax screams to readers of the scrib docs “THEY HAD PREVIOUS” but Mr O should be able to clarify.

DD,
That comma was meant to be an apostrophe.
so the tribute act are doing a follow up to the pavilions “celts in siville” apparently its was intended to be shot on big screens, but for some unknown reason that idea was s’crapped the title was the mankys in Manchester, its anticipated that the audience will at least bring the house down

“Obviously Billy Connolly, Stanley Baxter and Chic Murray all stand out as excellent comedians but, you know, there are a new breed emerging. I love the work of Bill McMurdo’s son, Leggat and Graham are a super double act, but the Vanguard Bears are exceptionally funny. They are the real deal. If you get a chance check out the land deals sketches. Genius.

If only! Rovers 16/1, 8s the draw.
Aberdeen 1 up.
Surprise surprise , SSB still playing the Dempsey show from Tuesday, cringeworthy.
Wishart saying “Celtic where mins. Away from being the club they where,”?
Not the company?
After that superb post from Paul, if anyone who hasn’t got a ticket for CQTEN and would like to come please email me – david@cqnmagazine.com
We’ve had loads of sold tickets given back to us over the last month or so – CQNers who want to contribute and support the Mary’s Meals kitchens – so paid then handed back etc
So we have sold and re-sold and so on and all for the benefit of this very worthy cause. We have only eight tickets left now and when they are gone that’s it!
Of course if you can’t make it to Paradise on Friday night then you can always consider purchasing one of our virtual tickets – also priced at £50.
For this you get a CQTEN ticket, a CQTEN programme, a copy of Seville – The Celtic Movement ( and we will take this book of yours around the tables to get CQNers to sign for you), a CQTEN badge and other goodies aswell as a £20 donation from you to Mary’s Meals for the second CQN kitchen. We’ll post all your goodies out next Monday regardless of where you are in the world. Also we’ll hopefully have a video of CQTEN on the blog at the start of the next week.
For virtual tickets please email BRTH at editor@cqnmagazine.com
Seville – The Celtic Movement is available to order now – see below Paul’s post. Over 400 pages long it is really a book about YOU and if you posted on this site re Seville last May then you are featured in the book.

Less than 24 hours to submit your CQteN dream team

Does the team have to play in fluorescent lime boots? :-)
“CQteN Dream Team”
Time is running out to submit your team of the decade . Deadline is 3pm Sunday
Email us on doccqten@gmail.com
Rules are very simple:
Select 11 players from the list below, forming either a 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 formation
So you will need:
1 goalkeeper
2 full backs
2 centre backs
3 or 4 midfielders
2 or 3 forwards
and of course….
1 manager (Don’t forget the manager! ).
Each player on the list below has made at least 10 starting appearances from July 2004 to date during the CQteN decade.
So no Henrik, then!
When you are selecting the players, you should ideally base your selection on their performances during the CQteN decade, but then again that is your choice.
Send your selection to us by email to doccqten@gmail.com with your CQN blog name (if you do not have one, then you need to get thinking as well)
Anybody can enter: bloggers, lurkers, friends and family, but you can only enter ONCE.
The closing date for entries is 3pm Sunday 9th March 2014
The CQteN dream team will be announced at the CQteN night on Friday 14th March and will be published online soon after. There will be a couple of prizes for the closest teams selected to the winning team.
Good luck and get selecting.
