When this publishes, I should be a few kilometres into the Great Scottish Run. These events can be humbling. You see people there with messages on their shirts. ‘The big C’ gets a lot of mentions, in many of its forms, as does heart disease and conditions most of us will, fortunately, be less familiar with. Some simply have a loved one’s smiling photograph on their back. Their former feeling of helplessness matured into purposeful action.
I’m running for Celtic Charity’s 1254125 campaign. This is not something controlled or even organised by the club, but it is fundamental to what Celtic Football Club is. The Celtic Movement was called together in a church hall in November 1887 to alleviate the distress of poverty in those unable to feed themselves. It is different from other clubs because it started differently and has since walked unfamiliar roads.
The spirit to help others has been increasingly self-evident in recent years but I am sure the commitment has become more embedded as a result of 1254125. It is now part of our routine, what we know to expect from ourselves.
We will only stay different if you and I continue to insist we walk (or run) unfamiliar roads. We all worry about where our club is going. There is little we can do about many potential dangers but we can make sure Celtic remains anchored to the spirit which founded it. You can support 1254125 through the MyDonate page I setup to convince me I shouldn’t give up halfway through this run. Your support is appreciated.
Yesterday we lost Cllr George Ryan, or St John Doyle, as he was known on these pages. George touched the lives of hundreds of people but unless you were in direct contact, you would not know what he did for the people of Glasgow, for Celtic supporters in difficulty, or even for the Thai Tims. He was an exceptional Celtic man who lived the way exceptional Celtic people have ever since that meeting in St Mary’s Hall.

Evening All,
I’ve had a great day, managed my run this morning timed at 1 hour 00.2secs. Absolutely over the moon.
I have never attempted a 10k run before in fact a year ago I was a wee fat podge who was totally unfit.
Now I’m the Gerd muller of the CQN 5s and regularly pound the streets 4 miles at a time.
I was running for cancer research today as my young Sister is fighting this horrible disease.
I have been supported by the CQN GOLFERS, The CQN 5 a siders and the the CQN GREY BRIGADE along with family and friends I will donate £1000.00.
A huge thanks to you all. I absolutely love this site.
As I was passing the 8k mark I stated the rosary praying for my sister and for the repose of the soul of George Ryan May he rest in peace.
Yesterday is history, tomorrow a mystery. Today is a gift from GOD.
I truly believe this
Hail hail PB1888
Ps Gerd Muller comparison is totally my opinion

Hadn’t realised that they would spin it out to a third series

Domestic ducks and geese don’t fly. Certain chickens do fly, so clipping of the wings is necessary. Will help if required. Nooooo problem. :))

I watched the Israeli series it was very good …on sky Arts …Prisoners Of War
Didn’t have any of the American BS that they consider it necessary to add to their programs
PaddyBhoy1888, I had you down as more of a Maestro, rather than a finisher.

Tickets are £295 plus Vat each, so for 4 that is £1416 in total, assuming they have 4 together.
I will happily contribute £20 each from both Mrs CRC and myself.

Mrs Doc and I will do likewise CRC, ChannelislandCelt.

Have We signed Jobo Yet..?
Heard Lenny was Looking (From the Rear) at him Yesterday with PL’s right hand Mhan..:-)))))

Was away yesterday. Just watched highlights video. How Brines didn’t give a penalty for that lunge on Adam is hunbelieveable. Broken collarbone is 10 to12 weeks but there is a specialist in the UK who regularly treats jockeys for this injury and has them back riding in 5 to 6 weeks. I’m sure Celtic Medical Staff are aware of this guy. A prominent Cork hurler Brian Murphy broke his collarbone in June initially he was ruled out for the year, as hurling is extremely physical particularly for the upper body. However he heard of this guy was treated by him and was back playing Club hurling in August and played in All Ireland Hurling Final early Sept. .
CRC, had a quick look, that’s through the Alea for hospitality is it not ?
Surely Celtic have something direct ?

Hail Hail!
TET,
Do you know, I’m like you. I don’t even think to look for their scores any more. My equilibrium is far better off without being concerned about them.
Someone mentioned about buying their ticket for a cup game against them, if we ever have to meet them at Celtic Park. I think I would buy mine and leave it empty so that nobody else could use it.
Cowiebhoy
You know im a yellow belly :).

No mate but thanks for the offer B.

That will be the least of his problems when we get a hold of him. Hehehehe.

Seconded. I will happily chip in to buy some tickets so the family can be together. P67 has my address details if needed.
Hope this can work and am sure, as ever, the Celtic family will not be found wanting.
God bless the Ryan family at this terribly trying time.
