This is the point of Celtic

448

It has been two weeks since Celtic Park’s last outing as a football venue.  From this week, it becomes a socially=distanced dinning location for around 250 people, including frontline NHS staff.  The Celtic FC Foundation’s initial response is to provide £150k to stock local foodbanks and support charity partners in their efforts to cater for out most needy in this time.

For the time being, Celtic is no longer a football club; it is a source for good to a community that needs it, just as it was in 1888, when the first ball was kicked.  No other club is Britain has responded with the same resources or vision, but no other club has our heritage.

Today, most of us are concerned about our immediate families and there is nothing wrong with this.  But some people are ‘out there’ in our name.  There may be little you can do for this effort today, but we will have the opportunity soon enough.  Be proud of your club and know that, as Celtic fans, we have a social responsibility, otherwise, what’s the point?

    RON BACARDI and NEUSTADT-BRAW

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Didn’t know you were both fighting on that front.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Sending love and prayers your way.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    HH!

     

     

    smiley thank you thing

  3. Am I right in thinking that the building-construction industry will close down in Scotland but not thus far in England? Or did I miss that bit of borisspeak?

  4. Boris Johnson and Nicola Sturgeon are not two of my favourite persons on the planet.

     

    I think they have both handled the impossible situation quite well. ( Nicola with more clarity and better explanation )

     

     

    Hopefully the end game to save lives will be achieved, and that’s where all of us have a part to play.

     

     

    Let’s be totally honest here:- People will aways find fault regardless, it’s impossible to please everyone.

     

     

    Anyway stay safe and HH.

  5. If blame has to be attributed to anyone then let it be the Chinese government and noboady else, put your party politics away.

  6. Remember we had that saying … ” no one walks alone ”

     

     

    Well let’s change it to “no one locksdown alone ”

     

     

    We are here and we will always be here , jokes, stories and discussions will keep us going .

     

    Keep the faith and keep it up .

  7. I see UK getting on board. At last

     

    I saw this today

     

    Don’t be a fanny

     

    Don’t visit Granny

    Was going to say

     

     

    You’ll never walk alone – but from now on we better

  9. imo too many Brits are thick and wont respect this ‘advice’. Tougher measures will the brought in soon and this will suit Johnson as he’s a populist who will loathe to do that but can blame the roasters who don’t comply.

     

     

    They have always been aiming for a peak in May-July so probably looking at 3-6 months of these measures.

     

     

    imo he should have said 3 weeks of this but if you don’t comply it will be a complete lockdown. He’s left it open by being indecisive (probably deliberately with an eye on his next move) and with ambiguity such as the exercise rules which he knows will be abused.

     

     

    A long hard summer awaits :((

    “You’ll never walk less than six feet apart “doesn’t quite do it 😜

  11. Johnson is a murdering piece of shit whose lack of leadership and criminal negligence will lead to needless deaths not only of patients but the doctors and nurses on the frontline. Don’t let the bastards try to rewrite history.

    I have had friends from Timpsons mesage me confused, they are claiming their key workers??

    Nicola Sturgeon and Boris Johnson in harmony, giving the exact same message.

    Hello again all you young rebels.

     

     

    G’day everyone from behind my wooden barricades, well fences, hope

     

    they don’t become the former.

     

    Very quiet looking now everywhere, but most back gardens have changed

     

    dramatically over the last few days with folks keeping themselves occupied.

     

    Bit of panic buying on the news last night, no, not toilet rolls, but booze,

     

    with huge queues outside the bottle shops, also gym equipment, and board

     

    games, seems we’re getting prepared for the long haul here.

     

    Our head coach has sent out a wee vid to our soccer kids with a challenge to

     

    keepy up a toilet roll, he managed seven, so now everybody frantically trying

     

    to beat it, tried it myself but complete shoit.

     

    Reading back, some cracking puns about bog roll films, the humour on here

     

    is second to none.

     

    Big Jimmy and anybody else stuck alone in this crisis, thinking of you all ,hope

     

    CQN and the contributers help you through this.

     

    H.H . Mick

    You didn’t actually reference me but I assume you were referring to my post.

     

     

    I just heard that the wife of a pal of mine who is a doctor is seriously ill with the virus after having to treat patients without the correct PPE. That’s a direct result of Johnson and his cronies.

     

     

    Now what is it exactly you want to say to me?

  17. Single man with toilet rolls would like to meet a female with hand sanitizer….. for good clean fun!🙄

  18. No frankterry i didn’t reference you because I started commenting on this before you decided jump in, and let me get this right whose to blame for all those Italian doctors boris

  21. We can talk about my supposed hysteria in a moment but let’s take one point at a time.

     

    Why did you bring up Italian doctors? Who the hell is blaming Johnson for the deaths of Italian doctors?
