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.

Why dae sportscene muffle the atmospheres. Its bad enough production
Lets hear it properly .lasleys no that type a player apparently, whit? Stevie may wid be no bad if he loast 5 stane.reminds me when a played under 16 fur gartcosh against salsburgh n hawf their team wur
Aboot 35 wae pony tails n beer bellys.
Who were the hun pundits who said it was a fair tackle ?
They obviously don’t know the rules of the game.
No matter if a players gets the ball fisrt, which lasley didn’t, if he then takes out the player, it’s a foul.

Is G64 a postcode?!?!?!:-)
Maggie doll, where were you last Saturday? I wore the four leafed clover and sprig of heather………………………….you never showed up. I thought we had a deal, a pact, an understanding that we were disappearing into the sunset on my overly stocked boat, sunshine here we come and all that………………………………dashed:-((
FFS, I had to spend the night wi yer young bro instead.
BTW, he’s a whiskyheid noo:-_)
Glasgow’s Green and White.
I’ve got a contrarian view about Sevco playing us again. I feel that all you guys who say you never want to play them are being a wee bit elitist, a wee bit dinner party fans, and dare I say it, a wee bit pseudo-intellectual?
I want to play them;
I want to beat them by a record score – whatever you think of our team we are light years ahead of that mob;
I want to grind their noses in the dust;
I want my children and grand-children to remember the days when I boozilly regaled them of our 10-0 victory.
I know that makes me a bad person, but deep in the marrow of my bones, that’s how I feel.
CRC,
Off to Tenerife for a couple of weeks.no taking VP,i couldn’t keep up with a Rutherglen bhoy on the swally

My profuse apologies. Sometimes CQN can be too cryptic. Morrissey 23rd pointed out that I had made a mistake. I will be back home for the AC Milan game. I thought that was what you were talking about.

Woulda liked to have seen the beeb compare the scott brown.. assassination of neymar with lasleys fair tackle on Adam matthews.
We should sign an out of contract clogger just to set him loose on that wee runt.
He went in late on stokesy just before his goal… then had a tug at commons when he nut megged mcmanus
On both occasions the ball was in the murderwell net within seconds so suppose that’s the biggest girfuy for the f@nny

jude2005,

CRC, thanks for asking:-(
Not a mention of how bad Brines was eether!!
No CL games that week btw.
G64, sorry, bad gag.

A big gentleman.HH
g64
Yes Los Gigantes.
CRC:-))))))
TBJ.
Still think poor journo and that is what really shouts out. Any decent journo worth his/her salt would have asked the question, ‘would you accept a tackle on you like that?’, even if the two ‘guests’ thought tackle was faiir.
The guy that looks like a rabbit caught in the headlights needs to be watched.
CRC, we need to meet later this week to sort that out, Friday, lunch, my treat.
Usual place and time?
Excelll, I need lessons.
Pundits on Sportscene calling lasley’s tackle a good one…..he went right through Adam, throwing him into the air ……I don’t know why i still get angry at these barstewards, after all these years of the same old bigoted shoite from them, but I do….
good night timland

Dya mean wee jonathan sutherland with the irritating accent on bbc …. he used to read the tweets and e mails out. Then deacon blues drummer left and he got promoted
Ive watched Dawson the Spurs CH for years. My wee grandson (6) wd skin him all day long!!
Phyllis Dietrichson @ 23:11
Beating them 1-0 will be a record score. We have never played them before and the previous club no longer exist..
Spurs are pleased to announce that Michael Dawson has signed a new 3 year contract (most likely on around £80k a week)
Some of the Zombie slogans
“Action not apathy”, “Mather out”, “Stockbridge out”, “Mather liar”
and “Sack the board”
I wonder where they got the last one from? :-)
