The good people running the weeoscar4life campaign have been in touch and asked me to pass on information regarding the appeal and forthcoming quiz night in Glasgow later this month:
“As many of you will be aware the weeoscar4life campaign team have recently been involved in raising the profile of a wee 3 year old boy from Belfast called Oscar. Many of you have kindly supported this initiative by purchasing CQN badges and wee Oscar wristbands and taking part in the “Small Change for US, Big Change for Oscar campaign”, with the money raised all going towards getting Oscar the treatment that he so desperately needs.
The next event that we have organised to help raise the £250,000 required for Oscar’s treatment is a quiz night. This will take place on the 29th September in The Phoenix (Previously Eastenders) on the Gallowgate with a 7pm start.
The quiz will be made up of a variety of questions, 50% Celtic related and 50% general knowledge. There will be raffle prizes and we also hope to have some live music after the quiz has finished.
Tickets are priced at £5 and you can buy as many as you wish for friends and family so long as they are over 18. Don’t worry if you aren’t able to make up a team of 4/5 as we will arrange you into teams before the event. We hope to be able to offer a ‘print at home’ ticket service so that you would be able to simply bring your tickets on the night.
Until then if you can contact us at weeoscar4life@gmail.com then Wecan begin to allocate spaces to those who have expressed an interest.
Thank you once again for your continued support.”
It is sure to be a fantastic night so please book early.

Worth waiting up for well done Andy !
RR-For me he is now the best Scottish sportsman of all time,he is playing with some of the greats now,and winning !
Absolutely delighted for Andy Murray.
Jings,crivvens,he disnae half put us through it though!
Night bhoys.HH
It was an incredible victory and shuts up all his doubters-five hours of riveting tennis -roll on the Australian -hopefully number 1pm the world by then
Superb Andy. Murray
Guts and talent in spades.
Well done big man and looking forward to Oz and your next Grand Slam
1pm = 1 in -bloody tennis elbow giving my grief
Australia? What time will the final of that finish?
Well done Andy ,
didn’t my internet drop at 40-15 !
arghh.
Apparently that’s the longest ever men’s US Open final…
Sannabhoy,
Have ye not got DBs to attend to in a wee few hours?
:))
Great strength of character to come back in that 5th set, great stuff. It’s been full of ups and downs following Andy, all worth it now.
It’s not very often at all you can say you’ve witnessed something epic….but that’s what we’ve just seen….an incredible Scot achieve, over 5 hours, one of the greatest sporting achievements in a small nation’s history. Andy Murray. Legend.
HH!
Well done Andy, you are a living legend! A word too for Novak, what an incredible player he is.
Andy you beat the best to become the best and no one can ever take that away from you.
Proud that I am from the same country as him tonight.

It was wonderful -two players at the absolute peak of their game slugging it out for five hours-one rally lasting 54 strokes
He must now surely be Sportsman of the year 2012
I never thought I’d see the day…Scotland has a tennis gold medalist & Grand Slam Champion.
Wonderful & amazing.
To paraphase…..”Andy you are immortal”.
“This fairytale of New York written by Andy Murray was more than just an achievement to savour for itself. Few sporting voyages have carried such baggage, and Murray’s alone has resembled a flea carrying a piano up a mountain. In a single win, hair ruffling his Scottish locks, Murray put a deal of pain to rest.”
Great read from Kevin Mitchell…

And before I forget all else in this long and momentous day : a thought and a prayer for Oscar Knox as he starts another hard day in HIS epic struggle.
All the best, wee mhan. All the best to you, too.
So the Herald and the Hootsmon decided to just relay events re Green’s war-cry, no opinion, no Op-ed piece…
Hmmm…
Just staggered home!
I was driving home from work in Toronto and was listening to the sports news on the radio which informed me that Murray was 2 sets up, and only 1 set away from victory – I was compelled to pull off the road and find a hostelry to share in, which could be an absolute momentous occasion in the history of Scottish sport.
I honestly thought that I was the jinx, as everything started to go south for Andy.
He maybe had the reputation for freezing when it mattered – as was pointed out to me by the hecklers in the bar, as I cheered on his every point.
I stood next to a couple of Serbians,who were convinced that their man was going to roll the remaining sets out, and a polish guy who wanted to talk about Artur Boruc :)
I must say, I was never so proud to be a Scot – the way Murray went through that 5th set. My mammy will be phoning me in the morning with the news – I will obviously pretend that I didn’t hear the result – and we will all be happy knowing that a local lad, obviously not a hun, is putting us back on the sporting map ( just as Lenny is going to do) and we will all be comforted in the fact there is no R@n6ers.
Jock Stein made me proud for evermore – but tonight Andy Murray brought a wee tear to my eye.
Well done Andy…..even if yer no a Celtic man.
Tonight you made history.
God bless ye.
Teuchter ár lá
Teuch…,
Think he’s been spotted in his Henke shirt :o)
Oh aye!
We can build a solidarity and a pride once again in ‘oor wee nation, as we can recognise diversity…….they can’t
I’m glad there is no R@ng*3s.
The healing process may well have begun.
Stripppppppp…………..Did you hear that?

Aye , I see it noo
Paradise windfall draw with the crowd singin’ Andy Murray is the King of Kings :)

Can somebody shed light on what exactly the relationship is with Therangers and Mike Ashley’s Sports Direct? It has been said that they are covering non-footballing costs. Can anybody confirm or deny this with a credible source and if it’s true, what do Sports Direct stand to gain from this?
Gratuitous Alienation – A transfer of property by a debtor to another person for no consideration or for an inadequate consideration. Such alienations in the period up to 5 years prior to the date of sequestration are open to a statutory challenge by the permanent trustee; alienations outwith that period can only be challenged at common law.
Passing Off – A common law tort which can be used to enforce unregistered trademark rights. The tort of passing off protects the goodwill of a trader from a misrepresentation that causes damage to goodwill.
The law of passing off prevents one person from misrepresenting his or her goods or services as being the goods and services of the claimant, and also prevents one person from holding out his or her goods or services as having some association or connection with the plaintiff when this is not true.
If it ain’t one it’s the other….
Good morning CQN
Congratulations to Andy Murray on a great win
The Green man for his short time in Scotland seems
To know all the bigoted clubs and the ones that had EBTs
He should be made to tell all and out these clubs
Keep the Faith
Hail Hail
Congrats to Andy Murray. US commentary team had him down and out when it went 2-2 in sets but he looked like he was hitting the ball well and just waiting for the other guy to fall apart. Thats exactly how it played out. Absolutely superb performance. Rope-a-dope anyone :)
mncelt
Strange you say that.
I got the impression that, just maybe, his intention was always five sets,in view of the fact that Djokovic had had one fewer rest day.
MACJAY 0558
Well,I wish he had blinkin’ told me-nae gingernails left after that!
and my spelling of fingernails appears to back that up!
ANDY MURRAY!!!
Now there is Sporting Integrity….
One of the great dramas in tennis no doubt.
A privilege to witness that 5 hour moment in history.
Tragic…?
Rendering, as it does, the SFA..
SFA?
(Well, this is a Fitba site)
I know I should not put a downer on such a great achievement but what is happening back home makes me boak…
Roll on the wearing of the Green and the SFA?
Mebbees Aye?
ACEILERGONOFRUST…..if yer about
Just watched the 101 goals against,erm,that lot.
Fabulous. Thanks.
In case anyone missed it……

Andy Murray
What a way to win.
Very well done.
A67
Really chuffed for Andy Murray. When Djokovic brought it back to 2-2 the Murray of old would have crumbled in the final set. He has developed a stronger mentality due in no small part to Ivan Lendl. Credit also to Djokovic for his part in an outstanding match
Well played Andy
Pretty Green is coming on
radio Scotland, about half 7.
It appears the broadsheets giving Chucks rant a wide berth are they now getting bored with the playing to the redneck galery
Paul67 has asked this before of the SFA
What to do with this errant club
A powerless and silent governing body
Chuck continues to make public all these secret deals between himself Ogilvie, Regand and Dongcaster, its hilarious
Will the SFA continue to allow the snake oil seller to ridicule them
Od course they will
