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.

Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while, I think I see my brother coming, riding many a mile. Brother, you get me some silver?Did you get a little gold?What did you bring me, my brother, to keep me from the Gallows Pole?

  5. England get a very obvious offside goal,

     

    Dutch stopped but no flag.

     

    They should be forced to tour Scotland wearing Celtic strips to learn to play to the whistle and never assume the laws of the game are followed,

    Ogilvie was never on that group. The SFA were making the most of the opportunity given to them by the issue being raised to highlight that Ogilvie was not on the group involved.

     

     

    Writing and communicating with UEFA is a much more likely way to get Regan to respond than talking to a nasally challenged ‘wind up merchant’ and giving him more cannon fodder to boost his already grwoing ratings. IMO.

     

     

    But I do get the general wider point about getting issues raised in the wider consciousness.

    Hen1rik ……HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa ….now that’s what you call hunguffery..!!

  19. A wee question, and not wanting to start a religious debate or anything like that.

     

     

    Come Lent a great majority give up the drink ?

     

     

    In Ireland, the majority of my friends do not give up the drink for Lent, they give up other things, chocolate, swearing and the like, serious question.

  20. 67Heaven –

     

     

    Valuable tip.

     

     

    If you write something of substance, ie something that took time and effort, always copy it into the clipboard before submitting. That little measure has saved me a couple of painful re-writes.
