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.

Right guys and gals,
Off to bed to allow me to attend to non laying chooks, ducks and geese in the mo. Wtf am I doing? It’s called being a farmer, we all suffer at some point in the seasons. My babies will come back and supply all the CQNrs who visit the farm with the best eggs available on the planet. Imho of course. :))

Definitely going to collect, Cowiebhoy made a great suggestion, if we do not need any monies for tickets we can donate to the 125125 in George’s memory.
If you e-mail me I will send you details tomorrow at some point. I will not be replying from lennybhoycfc@gmail.com but from my every day addy, so don’t be coinfused.
Thanks again…
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!

LennyBhoy, I’m easy confused.
And donating to 1254125 is a great idea.
I met Angela today, great ambassador for the foundation.
Hopefully what was done today will be built on next year.
VP, a big chap from Rutherglen by any chance?
Nah only joking. It was good gassin with you last Saturday but you’re body guarding style is pretty relaxed. Your shift seemed to finish around 6PM?

Good to see you ghuys on Saturday,not too good to see you lot on Sunday
all continental drinking ootside whilst I was working…….then you go and rub
it in….do you want a coffee or something? bassa ..you know it was the something :o)
CRC, he won the ball, the broken bone ain’t relevant.
Well done to the runners today and especially jobo baldie coming in with a pretty quick time. There’s nae end to the mans talents. When I golfed with him at Aberdour I knew he’d be a star, blah blah ………………………..Jobo:-)
ACGR will donate one hundred pounds to the first cqn’r who ran today, to email me at:
acgr@hotmail.co.uk
A brilliant effort all round.
Hail Hail
That tackle on Matthews .get that bastard done.
Nah….its a mans game….fair tackle eh
Telt ye.
Watching Sportscene and both bluenose huns claim the Lasley assault was a good tackle
Football in Scotland will never advance until that is stamped down on, properly.
Its no basketball btw … canny hold keef responsible for a broken collar bone
Can’t believe what just heard, that’s a good tackle on Matthews !! Games a bogey!!
Until we meet again…
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
We didn’t expect anything else did we ?
Estoril
Seriously. .. you thought a pundit might call foul.
Only one I think might have on that show would be Barry Robson
If we are still looking for donations to buy tickets count me in,i go on holiday Friday and am fairly busy this week but I can post money to anyone who is organising,a few CQN bhoys have my e mail if anyone needs to get in touch
evening all , havent been on all day and just read about St John Doyle
condolences to all his family.
I wanted to put a shout out to the person who left behind a number(more than 10) of programmes after yesterdays game, I lifted them and waited a while to see if they returned for them but had to leave to catch bus. I have brought them home and will be back for Ajax game if anyone knows who they belong to I’ll keep popping ion here to see if anyone responds.problem is I was using the inside of the stadium to get from section 412 to the jock stein exits so I only know I got them at near half way line in upper north stand .

And Healys tackle on Forrest??
It might be a while before we ever have to face the hun again.People forgetting their finances.They will get through this season,just.Next season,who knows.What we do know is they cannot operate in the same way.No cash flow.Its admin or drastic downsizing.Admin will mean no league for them next year,maybe even the next.Downsizing to the dross they had in their 1st season wont win them the Championship.
I think we are ok for a wee while yet.In fact,I am sure of it.

G64 and g64 are two different fholks,get a grip.hh luv
Tbj,
Ano should know better but it was such a bad tackle I couldn’t believe anyone could defend it. Even for the sake of discussion ( apart from the obvious ) why not question it or discuss it??
Shocking stuff! Should have asked Thompson or Stewart if they would have accepted that tackle on them as acceptable, well a good honest journalist would.
