If you live long enough you get to hear or read just about everything. Today some in the old media are telling us Celtic and Rangers (sic) are both chasing a soon-to-be out of contract Manchester United player. The way it used to work is an agent would fly into Glasgow to see Celtic or Rangers, and make sure the other club had an option on the player their rivals were pursuing.
Anyone who thinks Newco can rival Celtic for a footballer had better consult their medication. The rules have all changed, in Glasgow, we stand alone.
Final shout for the ITUC’s 22nd minute Fifa protest tomorrow.
Today’s CQteN raffle winner, of a signed Celtic strip, is John McDonald, from table 36. If it’s the John McDonald I’ve just emailed, congratulations… If not, we’ll find you.
Today is World Down Syndrome Day. For too long those with Down’ have been stigmatised, shown a lack of human respect, or worse. The ‘does he take sugar’ days were not so long ago. World Down Syndrome Day is a about raising awareness and changing our perceptions.
Have to say I’m enjoying the Aberdeen fans’ ‘Peter Pawlett Baby’ campaign. Human League’s ‘Don’t you want me baby’ has flown up the charts on the back of delirious Aberdeen fans, celebrating their position as one of Scotland’s top two. Crazy stuff like this is how football clubs grow.
For all those who have supported Marys’ Meals over recent weeks and months, here’s a cheery video from them, with a little help from Pharrell Williams.
Seville – The Celtic Movement is another cheery wee thing.
“Somewhere around 5am and Glasgow airport is only open for Seville flights and is a sea of green and white. I’ve 80 Euros, my passport, boarding pass and a ticket in my shorts, Celtic top on, no baggage of any description. The happiest queue of all time has formed.”

‘Ernie I agree that the majority of Scots don’t know about our history in oppressing Ireland on our own or as part of the British empire.’

I’m more concerned about the anti Irish Catholic racism that to a greater or lesser extent permeates aspects of Scottish life.
The causes of that are entirely Scottish.

So many of these bigots are wrapped in Union flags.
Knoxy2000,
sorry to hear that sad news about Nicola.
Hope she can stay strong and fight on. She, like wee Oscar and McKenzie, are in our thoughts and prayers.
HAIL! HAIL!

ToneLoc – that’s a lovely wee boy you have. Roisin had the heart surgery at 10 weeks (AVSD) – bad times. All good now though! Best wishes for the future.
BMCUW – will do mate, thanks. Nicky Campbell retweeted that photo this morning.
Cowiebhoy – She’s a special girl alright but I’m just a bum. Thanks.
BMCUWP – thank you, Conor will get his big hug from you when I get home from work
……..the Blog has reached out to one and all these past 10 years …..these past few weeks has been absolutely braw …..

I’m quite happy for the MSM to continue peddling the myth that the sevcotrons are somehow players in the transfer market and their dumb ass redneck fans to continue swallowing it.
So much the better when it all goes tits up again and their shock and disappointment is palpable.
Schadenfreude and Karma. (Sounds like a good name for a firm of Liquidators)

Just one other thing.
Don’t single out the Irish for their treatment of Jewish refugees, it makes it look like you have an issue with the Irish.
–ok Ernie, I won’t single out the treatment of jewish refugees by Ireland if you stop the whole Scotland – Rotten to the Core nonsense. It makes you look like you have an issue with the Scots.
The truth is that at the Evian conference of 1938 the the UK and the USA (and France) decided as a matter of policy not to accept Jewish refugees.
—-
I am living proof the UK did accept Jewish refugees during WW2
Knoxy -really sad news.
MWD – do you know nearly everyone mentions the love and affection etc when talking about people with DS but I can assure you Roisin can be a right little cow when she wants- lol!
Cheers buddy.

Had to read that twice there, thought you said the H word :-)
Toneloc, same message to you that Tom got, very special people, who offer more love ( both kids and parents) than normal people like us can cope with
Hail Hail, need to get back to work
Unew Mike at 12.40
Any particular reason for that post.
Maybe a follow up re MON or the Big Man himself.
hahahaha Manure are oot……braw

Thanks for that wee Mary’s meals video. Really cheered up my day albeit with a happy tear.
Hail! Hail!

My son and two of his mates went to Seville when they arrived they booked a hire car when they went to collect the car one of them put his wallet on the roof of the car ( not clever I know ).They got themselves sorted out and got in the car and drove away many miles later the guy who put his wallet on the roof remembered he had done so they immediately stopped the car and of course the wallet was long gone as were the tickets for the game which were in the wallet.They retraced there steps but there was no sign of the wallet so they were now short of cash and no tickets they did manage to get 3 tickets and did see the game but its an experience they will never forget. H.H.
Man Utd v Bayern; PSG v Chelsea; Real v Dortmund; Barca v Atletico
P67-great video,great smiles from all.Maybe decent school equipment could ne next :)) ….and some Celtic tops :))
tomtheleedstim
:-) Yip. I’ve seen that challenging side to them too. But the smiles, love and happiness way outweighs any wee bit of challenging behaviour they can throw your way any day of the week.

knoxy2000 – sorry mate I missed your post through typing mine.
That is terrible news. Fingers crossed for a breakthrough in treatment.
TomTheLeedsTim,
your daughter is a wee cracker mate. Be proud!
ToneLoc,
that is some story mate. Conor is a born fighter!
There is nothing worse than when your kids, especially when young, have to undergo surgery of any sort. Its the feeling of helplessness that is the worst. You would do anything to swap places with them. As for the surgeons, doctors and nurses who all help, i take my hat off to every one of them. What a job they do.
Glad to hear that Conor is doing well.
Anyway, big hugs to the kids.
HAIL! HAIL!

That video is better than the original!
Knoxy2000, really sad news about Nicola. Let’s hope for a miracle
Bmcuwp,
Left my reply on the last page, this place is too full of love to be dragging it in here :o)
joe filippis haircut- I know bhoys who hired a car at Malaga airport,drove to Seville,parked the car and went for a drink.Next morning they couldn’t find the car,with tickets inside .They never did find it.
TTT – Cheers mate, he’s flying it now, never thought we’d see the day of him running into pre-school in the mornings!

First time a draw has produced an Oof! from me at every tie. Watched the CL quarter-final outcome scroll along the bottom of the screen there. . .
Barca v Athletico Oof!
Real v Dortmund Oof!
PSG v Chelski Oof!
Man U v Bayern Oof!
Poor Davie Moyes. But I think honorary Tim JT and Mourinho’s guile will squeeze out PSG. Unless big Zlato gets his shuffle on.
MWD
I wish I could dance like some of them can :-)
Hail Hail Mary’s Meals
A pal of mine told me they were in a cafe, just sat down at a recently vacated table and ordered beers.
One of the guys started eating the complimentary nuts and almost broke his teeth
Olive seeds :o)
Celtic Football Club @celticfc now
Neil Lennon speaking at Lennoxtown media conference dismisses press stories linking Federico Macheda with Celtic as ‘wild speculation’. (PC)
Some truly inspiring posts today about special parents & their special children.
Thanks, Guys.
I will concentrate my attention on THEM & ignore the few sad individuals who are failing to take us down to THEM’S level.
Bada Bing. There are some great stories of a wonderful time. H.H.
Cowiebhoy
If you started to stop just watching all of us drink and stopped stopping drinking :) you could dance like that too. lollol

Hopefully the abundance of charity that was evident at CQTEN can replace the vitriol, spite and attention seeking that has denigrated CQN for far too long
I recognize and applaud the fantastic endeavor of so many charitable fund raising
Let us also remember that CQN’RS are not the only members of the Celtic Support who do tireless, unselfish work for charity
Thousands of other humble volunteers work behind-the-scenes
They are no less Celtic of a Celtic Supporter
Give and donate, but only what you can afford
In this age of austerity and hardship prayers, effort commitment and empathy are all worthy. Charity is more than donation of money
Hail Hail

Don’t misrepresent my arguments.It makes you appear dishonest.
I’ve never said Scotland is rotten to the core and I’ve never said that the UK did not accept any Jewish refugees from nazi Germany.

Yes their politics are incoherent.
And they’ll still be here if Scotland leaves the UK.

well said buddy.

Snake Plissken – would have preferred a “no truth in it whatsoever” kind of comment .
It’s a bit of a non-denial denial.
