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.

TheOringinalSadiesbhoy. I hoped you would recognise myself and Tommy Johnston but I was pretty sure you would recognise Thomas though lol, that picture was a St Ambrose one actually think we had just left St Bridgets.The other two where Coatbridge bhoys. On the looking fit..well thank you, I’m trying to stay fit incase there’s a injury crisis at Celtic Masters and I get the call from Mr Boyd !
Yes I know Cookham well, some great walks along the Thames there, if you ever got past the park at Marlow and up to the next lock in the river towards Bisham Abbey?, I live very close by. If you are down again be great to catch up, some lovely pubs on those walks. I’ll check facebook for Raymond Brown
Can you still get tutti frutti nowadays? I haven’t seen it in years.

Sandman, as was posted on here last week , with all the guff of the save the gers 5 million in 5 days tripe , and now a missing £6 million being found , it is very obvious that someone under the radar is keeping them afloat .

There will be NO tuttie fruity NESS.
Keep this simple. It requires MASS production.
Ouch! They’re already going into “mass” fallout over on FF over that one.
Heh heh.
Stupid huns.

Someone or something? Possibly the season ticket sales for 2015-16.
Don’t know if anyone clicked on this before, but the season ticket loans were made more secure by Glasgow Council and the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
SDM secured all this some time ago.
The plan is for him to set up Ph FC and be the hero while he creams off more millions every year at everyone’s expense, and especially in 2014.
I don’t know quite what it is….but summit tells me this fella needs keepin an eye on.
HOORAY!
Cup Final Ticket letters arrived today.
Was getting worried last night after posts of folk buying tickets on-line!
Come on you bhoys in green!!!
Parker named england captain, anybody care
Re above just speculatin, ye get me!
jimtim
Show me the logic in anyone doing that ?
It is not like anyone would come in and seriously buy any element of their business right now. It is completely toxic as i understand it. It can only go one way I think.

No, not until you asked. :))

I thought that was a St. Bridget’s picture and you were wearing the beautiful brand new Sunderland strip which I overspent the Heidie’s budget on. I have to say you all looked a wee bit more than 12 years old in the picture.
We saw Ulrika Johnsson in Marlow Park! .My brother-in-law is also a St. Bridget’s FP. Thre must be a wee community of you building up in Berkshire!

Good on big Beattie for speaking out. Just hope there are no morons out there seeking reprisals for a man prepared to tell the truth.
These idiots say they are “Christian Soldiers” whatever that means. Their “God” is not the deity of the new testament but rather the Knoxian fire n brimstone god of wrath we find in the old testament. It certainly is not a God of forgiveness. Jesus explicitly said that as a Christian we cannot even be angry- how then can these “christian soldiers” celebrate warfare, violence & a battle?
A follower of Christ either of Protestant or Catholic persuasion has to BE love…if you are love then where is the space for anger & hate?
Seven fishes
Ok ‘saleable’ probably not right word.. I really mean will make a relatively painless transition to elsewhere..
Big I
Yes m’lady
Good to have CQN back.
Better on the Blackberry for sure.
Can someone enlighten me as to the monies for the next game at ibrokes.
Bluenose at work saying that Celtic have went back on agreement to pay upfront??
I dont read the dailys,so rely on Celtic info here.
Im sure if true there will be a good reason for it…they are clutching at straws/looking for anyway they can get back at us.
They are HURTING!!

Exactly this SSN is a joke, i want some jelly n ice cream news
How do you get hold of an ice cream van pitch in Glasgow?
Just wondering if Broomloan Road might be free on the 25th March
Keep it under wraps, mind ;-)

Get your tutti frutti! Tutti frutti! Get it here!
As soon as someone says tutti frutti i immediately think of Marx Bros ‘Day at the Races’…
Big I
You need to queue up for the Ipox 3000ft high cherry picker amigo.
Tis a big queue.
But apparently it’s the sweetest ice-cream ever known to man !! Doesn’t even need a wafer or nowt !!!!!!!!
VertWolf @14:34
I might be a saddo, but I actually think that’s a good question.
Living in the North Lanarkshire equiv of Larkhall, a last out[ost so to speak, I was most intrigued by a local ice-cream van driver rabidly paint his van brown and rename it Mealy Rice Bacon.
Hah hah hah.
Stupid hun.
HaHa can we do a conga in the queue.

Why should Celtic pay £300k upfront to a club that can not guarantee that the game will go ahead? They could be in liquidation before then.
Normal rules of SPL is that the money should be transfered to the home team within 14 days of the game being played I believe.
The reason scots are classed as tight fisted is through Harry Lauder
cracking jokes about hiding his money from his wife in his sporran
so actually a music hall joke ! And will fyfe sang the song ( i belong to glasgow and when i get a couple of drinks on a saturday night ) etc this is why our english cousins think we from glasgow drink 24 hrs a day.
They invest our oil money in the south of england then turn round and
call us all tight fisted alcoholics , and you sit there with your kilts up in the air and let it happen !
VOTE YES TO INDEPENDENCE WHEN THE TIME COMES !
That was a serious question about tutti frutti earlier.
Now that I’ve got the idea in my head, I want – no, I NEED – some tutti frutti…

Billy’s Bhoy,
I agree bud and was aware of the payment after the game rule.
He’s just saying there was a gentleman’s agreement after Celtic rightly asking to be paid upfront for the last game.
Giving it Lawwell’s went back on his word.Just wondered if this is accurate or hunbluster!
Meant to say earlier,
Well done to BRTH and others.
A wonderful effort!
Good Luck Vanessa!
Craig Whyte will now has media team deploy the ‘Ted Crilly’ defence.
Ice cream: Mint choc chip

I…belong tae Glesgae……
Dear auld Glesgae toon…..
But I cannae remember the words.
And I cannae remember the tune.
Is that no the Alec Salmond version?
Anyways, pile of pants, no? :)
Incredible that the 500K target has been achieved in such a short time!
Carwash in Troon this weekend with all monies raised gong to the fund and a race night in Bruces Well in Troon on the 17th of March so we can still add to this to make sure that all costs are covered.
Brilliant effort from all involved.

I would love to be see a Tim, even be the Tim on that cherry picker at Ibroke.
It should be the Hoops BTW, that is a definate.
winningemmell, next season will break that record with Dingwall replacing a trip to Dunfermline.
Booker T, there is no such gentleman’s agreement. IN December Celtic told Rangers they were not a good credit risk and would require cash with order. No more and no less.

Look at you with the posh comment box!
It’s all ghood in the Harry Hood.
All this should we pay them and they will shut the doors, lets just not go, would that not be better, it’s not as if we haven’t all been before.
Would you book and pay for your favorite hotel in March if it was in administration?
Doc@ 15:01
Word I got is that the Cherry Picker is going to be decked out in the Bumble Bee kit as that top was the curse of Sammy’s footballing career.
Sammy does retribution well at the hunnery.
But am just speculating :))
RobinBhoy
Where’s the car wash in Troon? I’m local and my car is manky so I’ll make an appearance!
Also, is Bruce’s Well a tim shop? (As much as a boozer in Troon can be a tim shop). The outlaws told me The Lonsdale was the closest that came to one and always had good craic and racing tips in there.

The whole record “story” is essentially a non story, its a basic attempt to deflect attention from the fact thems are up the proverbial creek without a paddle, who in their right mind would pay up front for something that they could very possibly never make use of?
Well if we discount rangers season ticket holders…..
