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.

Cowiebhoy
Hail Hail baby Noah
I’m beginning to suspect somebody is guaranteeing the wages of players signed with money not earned in football.
What are the odds on being right?
**************
Auldheid,
I have long suspected outside sources of funding.
Cowie bhoy.
Congratulations to all involved.
Timhorton,
if about, can see the Irish club being busy this weekend.
Hail Hail
Lennybhoy.
I belive choccy said nothing and let jjudas and rambo etc leave as he sneaked out after veing tapped up by Fergie.
I could see funding from outside sources in the miny era.
These spivs who are there today, don’t have the money, or the backing imo, they must be getting funding from somewhere mind you.
There are bleeding a mill a month, just how long can they continue at that rate without illegal funding ?
maybes the bucket collections were better funded that we thought……aye right.

You would be spot on there. He was year below me at School, from the same Parish. He couldn’t get a game for the School Team.
Keep the Faith!

That’s the way to do it.
McFadden? Tricky one. He’s a touch of class, and I personally would pay to watch him.
He would get in the road of Rogic, George, Twardzik…these lhads need a chance and if they aren’t going to get it when there is no serious domestic competition they never will.
McFadden won’t be the difference in Champions League games, or generate a sell on windfall. He will command high(ish) wages. There’s no point buying him for the SPL cos we’re going to win that anyway. So I guess those are your reasons why he isn’t in green and white. Right player, wrong time.

So let me get this right….
The zombies have ….
Overspent on players they couldn’t afford through jealousy at us winning the big cup & 9 in a row.
Ran up massive debts and bumped creditors.
Did not pay social taxes .
Colluded with the SFA to obtain a Euro licence.
Have benefitted from refereeing decisions for years .
Obtained a sporting advantage by making underhand payments to players.
Paid journos to give them a good and subservient press.
Inflicted such talents on us as Sebo and Kirk Broadfoot.
Have a vicious and bigoted support who have wreaked havoc in the UK , Ireland & Europe for years.
And we managed to see them off , how good are we.
Hail Hail
BT
Yer havin a laugh. :)
