Six days out and a mountain to climb

1664

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.”

  1. Well done to “the” rangers for getting another day out in the cup,a far better performance than last year when they lost out to a club with a far greater cup pedigree.some of the comments on here are very harsh it’s only their second season for heavens sake these things take time

  2. Albion Rovers, eh!! Crivvens jings and help ma boab. If hunbigots had not had their goal the would have had a penalty for sure.

  3. the albion goalie clearly handled the ball hence sevco foul doesn’t stand – a perfect honest mistake .

    Stolen shamelessly from twitter –

     

     

    Still not sure that the whole of the keeper crossed the line….

    Glad you stole that – LMAO :-)

     

     

    Cheers

  5. I was really really worried those Sevconian chaps would win the Scottish cup at Paradise.

     

    Weeks of worry could have been avoided if I’d simply watched them in action.

     

    Utter utter garbage, non league standard fitba.

  6. Ginger

     

    No it wasn’t me but I wonder how many were lifted today at I-broke, very few from Sevco ends I’d imagine!

  7. hashadenough on

    Just seen the honest mistake. Not surprised but still find it sickening. Anybody know what their attendance was today?

  8. !!Bada Bing!! on

    The Snowman would have been melted if the Rovers would have won…..embarassing club,team and manager.

    Don’t know mate but I’d like to know why so many of the sevco support dress up as blue seats? Is it for charity or something?

  10. Hi Ghuys

     

     

    Serious question that i just thought of.

    one zombies take on the “hate factory” management team ::

     

     

     

     

    “He is now becoming a parasite and that is something I thought I would never say.

     

     

    McCoist, McDowall, Durrant – what a f*&^%£g waste of three quarters of a million.

     

     

    If he does not resign the day the title is secured, I will lose the last shreds of respect I have for him.

     

     

    The bank of goodwill he has been living on is empty – he has gone from being a solution to being a problem.

     

     

    If you have any affection for this club or any self-respect, please call it a day while you have a little dignity left”.

  12. leftclicktic We are all Neil Lennon on

    And another zombies tak on McCoist:))

     

    Even I laughed at this .

    Today is just more evidence (like we needed it!) that the referees are the single most serious impediment to Celtic dominating Scottish football for the next decade.

     

     

    Until the refereeing fraternity is seriously challenged on these type of decisions, they will continue in the same vein. We need transparency especially on the referee’s supervisor report.

     

     

    Has a referee being marked down for a poor decision or not? If not why not?

     

    Presently we know none of this. It’s beyond a joke, and a cheats charter.

     

     

    Celtic should be putting all their efforts into this, especially when we are winning. Two years from now it could be too late.

  15. Watchin he match the day i noticed the team in blue had a 4 digit number on the back of their shirts up around the collar

     

     

    Anyone know wat this was relating to?

     

     

    B-)

    A remarkably plucky performance there from a lower league side with no real cup history.

     

     

     

    Albion played well too……

    The pain of that cheating is easing:))

     

    That is the worst I have felt about a non celtic decision for a long while.

     

     

    Sort the MIBs sort the problem.

     

    Till later all

     

     

    the only four people in Scotland who thought the goal should have stood.

     

    The Mib, McCoist, Chick Young and Andy %$£^&%$ Walker.

  19. Godoy Cruz are worth a punt imo, at home to San Lorenzo who have made 10 changes, they are prioritising the Copa Libertadores.

     

     

    GC are just over evens, game just started.

    Hope to catch up with you on Friday Sir.

  21. Lennon n Mc....Mjallby on

    The mibs will never be sorted,as much as they are an obstacle to Celtic the one thing about them is we have always had to put up with them so we have plenty experience,that is nothing new,I dont like it and would hope Celtic always keep pressure on about it but I believe we will have far stronger resources than any competitor for them to seriously affect us over a season going for the league.

  22. Hilarious stuff at Castle Sevco today.

     

     

    The standard of football on show was an embarrassment.

     

     

    How can Celtic ever grow a business and a team, if this is the team with the second biggest budget in Scotland?

     

     

    Seriously guys,if you could see us as others do….

  23. St Patricks day 1956 on

    Deja vu right enough

     

     

    Taxman robbed at Ibrox.

     

    Same as it ever was.

     

    Corruption to the core.

     

    Shameless.

     

    Are any of us surprised ……No

     

     

    Well done to Albion Rovers, but they were never getting out that place with a win.

     

    More so Celtic, but any Premier team will not have any bother with that mob.

     

    That is, if they survive long enough to make up another tribute act.

     

     

    Best laugh I had when Rovers brought on Sub Josh Flood who ” works in Asda”

     

    no disrespect to Josh or where he works, but shows that mob up for what they are,

     

    £714,000 a month going down the pan,

     

    Only hope this result does not effect Sleekit’s position,

     

     

    Albion Rovers, well done, and good luck.

  24. Green Lantern (((((0))))) on

    Just seen the sevcotrons equaliser…. Boof! A big punt up the park Ooff! Assault on the goalkeeper. We’re sadly missing these silky skills in the Premiership.

     

     

    Kwality man.

  26. snippet from shallow shallow,

     

     

    If we get through the replay and play the Arabs..

     

    We could get absolutely pumped.

     

     

    I’m not sure id pay to watch that.

     

    ———————————————————————————————————————-

     

     

    If it was anyone but Albion rovers I would be thinking defeat today is a blessing is disguise.

     

     

    Utd are going to hump us

     

    ——————————————————————————————————————–

     

     

    We’d need to play 11 behind the ball and hope we got lucky. Whilst anything in football is possible I doubt it’d work in both the semi and the final. We have no chance.

     

     

    ————————————————————————————-

     

     

    I know we were rank today but let’s not kid ourselves that Dundee utd are anything other than bog standard spl level. If we play well I would say it will be a 50/50 tie

     

     

    ————————————————————————————–

     

     

    Bad day at the office today against a team for whom this is their cup final. Personally, I think we’ll beat Dundee Unt. And beat them comfortably.

     

     

    ——————————————————————————————-

     

     

    ^^^Only one person kidding themselves here. We are a country mile behind UTD. They could very easily hump us. Will they? Who knows, we have a very tricky tie against £30 per week part time players to negotiate.

     

    ————————————————————————————–

     

     

    With the players at our disposal we “should” be giving them a game.

     

     

    Unfortunately we do not have the coaches and manager to put a team together – which is worrying.

     

     

    The first half today was the worst I have ever seen from a tactical point of view. Trying high ball crosses into the box and their defenders had the cigars out heading them away.

     

     

    We got out of jail with the debateable goal and I think we will win the replay.

     

     

    We are extremely lucky the semi is at Ibrox.

     

     

    ———————————————————————————————–

     

     

    Utd have a young team, blow hot and cold but have a better manager than we do and dont doubt he will have our measure as he will employ tactics. If we are lucky we have a chance but it shouldn’t be that way.

    seriously? Ill have some of what you are drinking.

    Anybody that thinks we can still win this cup is deluded.

     

     

    Dundee United will beat us comfortably.

     

    —————————————————————————————–

     

     

    I fear that we will get a doing off them.

    You are deluding yourself mate, we’re pish.

     

    —————————————————————————————————————-

     

     

    Raith rovers will pump us if we play like that never mind the Arabs.

     

    ———————————————————————————————-

     

     

    The most annoying thing will be that Dundee United will be much more up for the game than we will be.

     

     

    Ally MCCoist seems incapable of motivating players and getting the best out of them

     

    ———————————————————————————————————

     

     

    Don’t think we will give the Dundee taigs much of a game. I reckon it ‘d be closer with a proper Manager, someone like McInness, but under McCoist we don’t seem to have a clue.

     

    ————————————————————————————————–

     

     

    Our attitude would stink, we would surrender, throw the toys out the prawn and lose the plot whilst taking a spanking, again…

     

     

    We are shit.

     

    ————————————————————————————————–

     

     

    For us to get a result in the semi, we need a change in attitude, team selection, team formation and strategy.

     

     

    None of which will happen before that game due to our biggest footballing issue – the management team.

     

     

    We have the players to beat that United team. Unfortunately every one of them looks a shadow of the players they could and should be…

     

    ———————————————————————————————-

     

     

    United will rip our defence apart with their pace and strength.

     

    This could be the third year running they have put us out the cup.

     

    ——————————————————————————————-

     

     

    I take it you missed when they thumped us 3-0 last season?

     

     

    They’ve improved since then under McNamara. He’s got them playing excellent have attacking football with Gauld, Armstrong and Mackay-Steven.

     

     

    We’ve stood still.
