Lots of frustration around today at the possibility the first leg of the Champions League qualifier will be switched to Belfast. It will be no comfort to those who booked travel yesterday but we are in this situation every qualifying game. The draw is made and confirmed a day or two later, which is why clubs (including Celtic) and CQN yesterday ran a “Don’t book travel until…” piece. On most occasions nothing is changed which means fans are caught out when change happens.
No reason why Uefa can’t deal with this on the day of the game, or exclusively on the basis of strict criteria. I hope they deny this request, which is not in Celtic’s favour and clearly not in fan’s best interest.
Two items to draw your attention to today:
Tommy Burns Skin Cancer Trust
Tommy Burns Skin Cancer Trust are undertaking a sponsored cycle of all SPL grounds this September in attempt to get to our £100k fundraising target. This money will be used to help on the battle to fight skin cancer working with organisations such as Beatson Cancer Centre. The event is called Tour for Tommy and will span 5 days, 12 clubs and 380 miles of cycling before returning to Celtic Park on Sunday 15th September. Ex-Celts such as Packie Bonner and Frank McGarvey are joining in as the full event and Bertie Auld will be completing the last day. The event is looking to team up with the fans of each club to join them on a leg from their stadium to the next.
The group have much of the logistics in place and most of the riders, but they need more help. Each of the four main days are being offered for sponsorship with day one already taken up. In return the 30-40 core riders will get their clothing made with that company’s logo as well as any signage on press releases at the stadiums among other benefits (full pack available upon request). The Tour has already received great coverage from Sky Sports with further commitment to track the whole event.
In addition the charity are looking for donations of anything from water bottles, energy bars/drinks to medical supplies and biking mechanical supplies.
If you are interested in getting involved in any way you can contact scottmcgarvey@gmail.com. You can donate here, follow on Facebook and twitter (@tommyburnsSCT).
I know many of you will be aware of the work done by Celtic fans for the people of Haiti as part of the Hoops For Haiti campaign. This is another aspect of the incredible work done by Celtic fans and a credit to our club. You can read their blog here and get involved here.

It’s maybe someone higher up than yer priest u should be worried about wi statements like that :-)
Nice wee Church in Lanzarote down by Harbour, nice wee pub a couple of yards up the road called The Irish Times. Spiritual refreshment in both establishments.
Haven’t listened to Late Junction on Radio 3 for ages.
This is what it must be like for my weans when I make the dinner.
What is this? How did you do this? Why did you do it? What’s in the middle?
For attention of the Lanzarote CQN brigade
3 buses an hour between Costa Teguise and Playa Blanca
Love the place, me and the Squire-ess go every January
Busy bits and quiet bits, cracking quiet beaches
Only problem is worrying about the carnage arising from Squire Jnr having an empty….

What happened to Ulster-Celt..?
Summa
Dates still to be confirmed, but Solitude, Cliftonville’s home ground will host the biggest game in the club’s history against Celtic.
Still waiting on UEFA to agree to the switching of the ties though, so don’t be booking anything yet folks.
All avenues are being explored to increase the capacity of Solitude for the game.

For those going to Lanzarote.
My son in law had to be rescued by 2 surfers and a life guard on Friday after he got caught in bad currents while swimming in the sea there. Was in hospital for 2 days. So be careful very careful!! He was a very lucky man! A strong swimmer too.

Help/advice needed.
Anyone ever been pulled up for making a spelling mistake on an airline ticket. I’ve misspelt one of the names, put Suan instead of Susan. I’m wondering whether to tell them (Jet2) in advance and risk them charging me for a name change (£70) or whether risk it cos they probably wont notice.
Cheers.
————————–
Personally I would call them and explain the typo error. I did a bit of research on Ryanscare on this and read all the threads. First and last names need to match, middle names not so important.
Just back today from Spain, two good flights with Ryanair, I would recommend anyone travelling with them use a decent size holdall to take onboard as this can be squashed into shape to fit the basket, seen a couple of moulded cases fail today, 60 euros, Ouch.
I would also recommend priority booking, loved the faces of a few zombies when we strolled to the front of the queue this morning.
Spain itself was zombie free, brilliant and got a lot of thumbs up and respect when wearing the hoops.
Hail Hail
Daily Mail saying Hull are bidding 5 million for Hooper. Yerra shur it might be 6 or 7 whats a couple of million between friends. So the hacks just pick a Club, pick a number and pick a Celtic player and thats their job done for the day..
HT, very happy birthday to “Rhiannon”
Think about this, 1 year to becoming a teenager :-)this 25th June seems to be popular for birthdays

Tomorrow could well be worse!!
Anyway cheers for the birthday wishes I won’t wake her to share them if you don’t mind :-)
jude on a more sombre note, I saw your post re swimming in sea, when I was there last January 3 divers were drowned just near the diving centre by the harbour.
Canary Quick News
Was also in del Carmen in January and also two weeks ago – one thing I noticed was the amount of bars that are now closed
crc
Costa Teguise (NOT to be confused with Teguise) to PB is virtually 2/3rds of length of the island
Done excursions but never done it on service bus
On basis CT – airport is € 22 and is almost exactly the same distance the other way as airport – PB, you could expect a taxi between CT – PB to be €50 inc tip
Puerto del Carmen would be a compromise located between the two and has a strip wi loads of Irish them bars – dunno how genuinely Irish they are cos never stopped there
Palacio67
good advice but one thing puzzles me. If there were zombies on the flight how was Spain zombie free. Or has Ryanair finally introduced the zombie wheeker.
Night all …..some of us need to work inn he morning …(certainly not ‘beauty sleep’, for sure)
Say goodbye to the zombies…a-and Foo-oot-ball shall be cleansed…..

British bars getting it tough in the Costa’s too. Not many Brits coming anymore, all-inclusive deals also seriously harming the trade, my Brother closed his pub two years ago, the recession over there a long way from ending also.
