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.

Some decent suggestions there.
Half time draw numbers
Up to date team news
Team sheets
I had suggested something similar on here before. A sort of match magazine on an app that was more interactive than a programme. It’s the way forward. You can also get access to what goes on the big screen and see those photos of someone you thought you knew.
Pools results as well could be a shout. The Celtic pools is under used these days I reckon. Could do with a new recruitment drive.
The possibilities are huge. Up loading pictures of people at the matches as well could be an option.
The Wi-Fi is a good move but I would prefer people to watch the game and sing while it is progress. Does it get switched off when the match is on???

Shooooorly not suggesting the coonsil is staffed by huns and sevconians?
Soon nobody will celebrate any goals at football too buisy on line or videoing it on mobiles
“stop claping ya clown im watching the sopranos!”
“watchit m8with the hugging im trying to video wanyama scoring against barca!!”
Wtf??wouldnt go down too well in a standing area..mobiles crashing all over the place,,remember the old pics of the jungle(hail hail kev) with the beer cans and bottles piled up..now to be replaced with deepfried pitza and samsung galaxies lol

Forgot to also say that maybe if you are not a regular and you scan the ticket bar code you get directions to your seat.
Too James Bond?

I have this image of Neil Lennon standing in the dug out reading Twitter and saying, “Get Sammy warmed up. Everyone on CQN thinks he is due a goal.”

BMCUW Grilled/fried I suppose it is down to personal choice but in the case of Stornoway Black Pudding there is enough fat in it to make it suitable for grilling but heyho each to their own. Now lets get back to football. Hail Hail Hebcelt
BT, chuckles green hisnay a pot to piss in, it canny be him.
BobM, I’ll send you a post card from floating hotel in the Maldives.
50 shades, damn it I should have read the text twice before agreeing on the gold coating for the hotel floats.
Hebcelt, that badboy was sliced up and put away for future reference as soon as it was out of the wrapper. Good point on the slicing though as the blade for my angle grinder is a bit worn:-). Had a couple of bits already along with Ayrshire bacon, tattie scones and free range eggs. Wonderful stuff and certainly a better flavour and consistency than what I get in the wee farm shop down the road.
Thanks again and consider yourself drammed, I’ll keep you posted as to the timing of the bottling.
Right, things to do. Off to buy a couple of trophy wives from khazakbride.com and a trip on the next Richard Branson space mission.
Being a newbie squillionaire is such hard work.
Hail Hail Celtic men n wummin

I shall take your word for it.
I’ll also employ the family tasters before letting it defile my taste buds which I need for serious things like beer.
You looking forward to getting away from it all on The Canaries?
With half of CQN?
The women will NOT accept that as a happy coincidence,I fear….

Question Time with the Board????
Totally off topic but I would like to wish my namesake, CARLO Ancelotti, all the best at Real Madrid.
Not one of my favourite clubs, by any stretch of the imagination, but a thoroughly decent and nice guy.
Very good player and a very good coach, who has been in (almost) constant employment (as a coach) since the early 1990s.
Still one of the very few to have won the EC/CL as a player and coach.
Has family in Scotland as well.
Just watched part of his first press conference in Madrid which was an eclectic mix of Italian and Spanish, with a few French words thrown in for good measure!
Awrabest Charlie!
HH!!
The Recidivist Bed-wetter Must Be Waiting For His Rubber Sheet To Dry [agane].
The catering at Hampden for New Jersey’s Finest was very, very poor.
Speaking of new fad ideas does anyone remember how tight the club were a long time ago wher you had to buy the match programme with numbers on the relevent games to get the half time scores? the anouncer would say no. 3, 2:1 etc
New mcfadden idea meetin’ with mixed reception from the ole CQN demographic.
