If you have been in Celtic Quick News or several other places online in recent months you will be aware of Oscar Knox’ battle against Neuroblastoma. The CQN community has never been slow to react for those in need. On this occasion Bundoran Bhoy and Celticrollercoaster have taken the initiative and have launched the Wee Oscar 4 Life campaign. This is what they plan:
Today we are launching the ‘Wee Oscar 4 Life’ campaign focusing once again on the generosity of the Celtic family and the Celtic Internet community. In the past your generosity has helped better the life of Kano & Vanessa to name but two. Now Wee Oscar needs you 4 life.
Over the next few months, with the full support and endorsement of Wee Oscar’s family, we will be holding a number of events where we will all be able to come together to raise money that will go to helping provide Wee Oscar the immunotherapy treatment he desperately needs to help his young body fight of further attacks of Neuroblastoma (an aggressive form of childhood cancer).
So please look out for confirmation of dates that will be posted over the next couple of weeks, book your tickets for the events, bring your wallets and were possible help us promote the following events:
Wee Oscar 4 Life Celtic Quiz Night (based roughly on the Friday night CQN footie quiz)
Wee Oscar 4 Life Bucket Collection
Wee Oscar 4 Life Race & Auction night
We are also planning a cycle from Glasgow to Belfast for St Patrick’s weekend in March 2013 and will be looking for cyclists to take part in this event to raise funds for the Wee Oscar 4 Life appeal. If you are not from Glasgow there is no reason to stop you organising/participating in a cycle (or maybe even a run or walk) from your local town to Belfast on the same weekend.
Around £80,000.00 pounds has already been donated to the Wee Oscar Appeal and we hope that the ‘Wee Oscar 4 Life’ events detailed above will take Wee Oscar closer to the target of £250,000.00 the family require to raise.
As ever our thoughts and prayers are with Wee Oscar Knox, his Dad Stephen (CQN’s very own Knoxy2000), his Mum Leona and Wee Oscar’s sister and best friend Izzie.
We welcome your continued support and look forward to seeing you over the coming months.

If thers going to be a bucket collection at C P put my name down. Im in the ML5 area. Uv got my details.
HaiL HaiL to the wee soldier Oscar Knox!!!!!
We only have about £5m debt!!! That doesn’t need to be wiped straight away!
Ki surely must be sold for over £5m
Swansea agree fee with Celtic for Ki. And???
Besides Ki might not even go for Swansea. If I were him I’d hold out for Arsenal to make an offer
I lie, if I were him I’d stay ;)

Seconded, they’re running about mad trying to sign a striker, smacks of panic in their camp before they play us and even if he signs will he be thrown straight in??
Celts to qualify…
!!Bada Bing!!
Nonsense – Agreed mate!
I think this is kinda like not telling potential selling clubs how much we have.
No point in saying we have x amount to spend when any possible targets will suddenly be exactly the price or more.
This is why many clubs (even EPL ones) use the undisclosed fee statement, sensible IMHO.
So let them say we sold him for £5M, it’s the MSM what would we expect!

Ki / Donate done nowt at Celtic. Flattered to deceive!!
Seen to remember Matt McGlone tweeting last year Sandomierski had signed……
philvis…,
really, ok, the point was that typically, you and your pals publish insignificant statistics as scare tactics, to distract from the real issues like
skunk causes mental illness in some people, while alchohol does it to a lot of people.
Single mothers and the disabled have bled the country dry and they must pay the consequence, while tax evasion by business is ignored
increase benefit fraud investigation at the bru and reduce tax fraud investigator numbers. No doubt it will make sense to you, me I just think its creeping fascism.
Really really simple point I thought.
Naw am no a fan a skunk
Hate to repeat myself – but!
Dobbie! 85 goals in 10 years – more than half of them while on loan to QOS from Hibs! The Hibs manager at the time was Mogga – even he knew that Dobbie was mince!
Dobbie – NO!
If this is what we have come to – I despair!
HH!!

“We only have about £5m debt!!! That doesn’t need to be wiped straight away!
“Ki surely must be sold for over £5m”
If we get into the CL we will have money to spend – that has always been the case.
Fretting about media reports will not make you feel any better.
Whatever happened to the Ki money?

The record attendance for the Scottish Junior Cup final is 77,650 for Petershill v Irvine Meadow in 1951!
What tier of football was that one then!
HH!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~
Thought I’d just repost that one,and your follow-up about the Amateur Cup Final with a regular 100,000 was a belter too.
But Moretti?
I’ll be sorry to see Ki go as he’s a good player. However, he just never excited me that much and I was never too disappointed when he wasn’t picked for the first eleven.
Meanwhile, I hear Dobbie’s good playing in the centre. (Garden centre, get it?)
I think we will score in Sweden, we will qualify over the 2 legs.
In Lenny I trust.

I emigrated to Australia less than 7 years ago. Why is everyone intent on holding me responsible for the plight of the Aboriginals? Ach well, if they’re blaming me, they’re giving Peter Lawwell a break. :)
Tom, it seems to be a knee-jerk with some folk. Like the Yankees who talk about Austria when they hear Australia. It’s easier to talk in cliches eh.

Thot Dobbie was a Loan??

Well I thought it was funny. Just back from there.

Dobbie must be brutal, even Levine doesn’t see him in his plans.
The world of transfers is a murky one and I’m pretty sure that the media knows far less than they would like us to believe- especially when it comes to the money side.
If a bid has been accepted from Swansea that might put pressure on any other clubs looking at Ki to get in quickly.

Best wishes to Ki on his departure. I still expect two signings but just hope we get past H’borg successfully or the best we’ll get are loan signings on 31 Aug…

Sure I saw you two playing a couple of baddies on an ole episode of Boney,
many moons ago.
Celtic have agreed to sell Ki Sung-Yueng to Swansea, with manager Neil Lennon describing the fee of around £6m as “good business”.
Lennon said “advanced discussions” were under way for the transfer of the 23-year-old South Korean international.
“It will be unfortunate to lose a talented player but that’s been our strategy at the club now for the last two or three years,” added Lennon.
“We cultivate players then move them on. We feel it’s good business.”

Howdy!
I stand by my assertion that, imho, Moretti is superior to Peroni! Controversial, I know! A bit like the maestro v John Collins ‘debate’ last week!
Dobbie -NO!
HH!!

Haha don’t worry I won’t :0) Still, if £5m is the price it isn’t enough IMO

Patrick27,
debt free is not a place the board ever want to be, debt means tax relief, its as simple as that, managable debt is what has been preached and practised since McCan, it also helps control some of the support who believe every word they are told by the board.
The board say debt is up we need to tighten our belts, yes we made money in europe last season, but we told you befre we dont count that, of course we will still be paying dividends, yes its true if we show increased debt we get more tax relief, yes we will still pay dividends.
