Stunning charity effort by Celtic fans

936

A big well done to everyone who participated in the efforts to send Vanessa Riddle to Philadelphia for crucial medical treatment.  The £500k required was raised yesterday.

Brogan Rogan’ brought the issue to the blog and Taggsybhoy arranged the CQN Music Quiz earlier this month, our first formal activity for Vanessa.  Penfold gave us a signed Celtic top at the quiz which raised an incredible £5000 on eBay (plus gift aid) from a Celtic fan who, quite simply, gets what following this club is all about.

Not only did he pay £5000 but he told us to keep the shirt and use it again!  We then raffled the shirt on eBay and raised almost £1400.  You are all part of an incredible story by an incredible support.

The draw for the signed shirt took place at Uefa headquarters in Nyon, you can watch the video of below and find out if you won.

Our thanks again to Andrew in Belfast for his tireless help with the site this week.  The new ‘whyte’ template is in place and we’ll continue to restore functionality.

    I agree. as I stated earlier I am a WRO…

     

    appeals falling off the desk..

  2. Parkinson’s is an incurable,degenerative & wholly debilitating illness. What the f**k are the DWP playing at? I’m disgusted.

  3. Why do Celtic Fans give it Snyde credibility by listening to it?

     

    And why do they persiit in buying rags like the Daily Ranger and the Currant Bun?

  4. The lack of huns on Snyde tonight is strange. Some very good calls putting Keevins and Britney in their place regarding the stupidity of their ticket argument.

  5. Social Darwinism = Eugenics = Nazis = Iain Duncan Smith : Britain’s Hitler.

     

    The same logic applies to Hun mentality,an’ all.

    Looking for a wee bit of help. Anyone know of a boozer in leith pref near Malmaison that will show the game on Saturday.

     

     

    Cheers

    Carriers which is about 200 yards away on Bernard St shows all the games nice wee boozer,

  7. Evening all.

     

     

    I see Keevins and Spiers are urging us to pay them in advance. Utter tosh, as Gerry McNee might say. Given that the Administrators are in charge there, and the distinct possibility that the game might not even take place, why should we waste money on them? Why not rather , as has been suggested, help out the likes of Dundee Und and Dunfermline, who are creditors? Is there anything against that in the rule book? I would have thought HMRC would be all in favour of that solution.

     

     

    WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED.

    here’s a few tips about how to get on the ‘phone ins:

     

     

    (You may or not be aware that when you contact a phone-in your firrst contact is withh a researcher, they will ask you what you want to talk about and have a quick chat with you before putting you on hold, this doesn’t mean you will be put through, in fact only a very small number of callers actually get through to the brains trust.)

     

     

    Don’t appear to have more than one fully functioning brain cell

     

    Do agree with whatever meeja pundit is on the show

     

    Always follow the party line re: the need for a strong ranjurz

     

    Sound as if English isn’t your first language

     

     

    If you follow these rules your chances of getting through will rocket, however if your mask slips and you start being reasonable, talking sense and appearing to have received an education outwith the dinner school, then be prepared to be cut off!

    Didn’t listen to Clyde for decades and don’t buy the rags either. Did not know SSB

     

    still existed but started listening in occasionally when it went nipsup at iborcs couple of weeks ago and it’s been hilarious.

    Cadogan st has been renamed Lourdes in Glasgow after all the

     

    miracle cures occuring after a visit there

  11. today in the N.Ireland edition of the Mirror,prolific goalscorer D.Healey says he fears he will be among the first to be punted because when(if) he plays for them again he has to get a pay rise and a new deal! it also states that he has been a hit for thems?,By the way i have seen 3 cracked rankers(ia) crests in this same paper.

    The reason scots are classed as tight fisted is through Harry Lauder

     

     

    Check out, “The Merchant of Venice”.

     

     

    Even Shakespeare had a dig at Scottish tight fistedness.

    If there was a verbal agreement in place with Whytey, why are we the bad guys, when every verbalisation from Whytey has been proven to be a lie? Shug, p*ss off & get some sinex.

  14. I will admit to having a fairly bad temper- its genetic- ma auld faithers goat it & so huv the rest ah the clan. Over time i’ve learned to manage it a bit better.

     

    But when Keevins comes oan Snyde…well.

     

     

    I now refuse to listen to the irrational, inane and inconceivable ramblins that come out of that ridiculous little mans preposterous nose…

  15. Hugh Keevins-remember-this isnt one of your finest hours in sports commentary-

     

    this is one of your FINAL hours in sports commentary-you have insulted a lot of our fans-people you should listen to and treat with respect-denouncing callers and saying

     

    they are mentally ill-cheap shots-nonsense-waffle-that big elephant in the room is gonnae squash you-What will be your legacy? – an agent for the corrupt-a dud

    Kirk Flatfoot is taking a language course in preparation for his move out of ranjurz(goin’ bust)

     

     

    Lesson 1

     

    Sit in or take away?

     

    Do you want fries with that?

    ————–

     

     

    It’s entertaining. Wouldn’t dream of buying both rags although I do take sneaky looks in supermarkets.

  18. I’ve got a warm contented feeling this evening. I’ve spent the last couple of hours with my granddaughter while she unwrapped her 3rd birthday presents.and I’ve just logged on to catch up and see the amazing news of the £1/2 million raised, amazing.

     

     

    southbhoy – my heartiest congratulations on the birth of Molly, Celtic supporter.

     

     

    BTW, I don’t listen to radio Synde.

  19. 'crushed nuts?' 'Naw, Layringitis!' on

    ATOS have done an audit of ranjurz (tits-in-wringers), there’s eff all wrong wi’ them!

  20. Keevins is a disgrace, however tonight has arguably been his finest 2 hours. he despises Celtic fans with any intelligence who phone in( I know, we shouldn’t listen !) . A guy came on tonight to challenge his behaviour, the other soup taker Delahunt took a flakey as well and started to shout down the airwaves at the caller who was perfectly reasonable. It truly is unravelling , the whole bloody mess that is Scottish football, on the death throes of the cheats. It really is the best of times to be a Celt, and we have brilliant long memories ,Shug and Spiers.

  21. Listen to these morons on SSB, David Murray will be squirming in his chair for handing over the reins to Whyte.

     

     

    Still no mention of Sir David being the bad guy, what hold does Murray have over these clowns.

  22. 'crushed nuts?' 'Naw, Layringitis!' on

    paris bun on synde, can we go tae england? NAW!!!!!

     

    apparently some celtic fans have a gce or a higher in ranjurz!!!!!

     

    Some of you people must have MAs!!!!!!!!
