After yesterday’s discussion on values, what we’re all about and where we’re going, today’s announcement by the Foundation that they will have a badge day at the Dundee United game on 11 May is something that requires us to step forward and do something about.
“Volunteers will be in place at all turnstile areas and supporters will be asked to make a donation of minimum £1 in return for a badge, which illustrates the new Celtic FC Foundation crest. All monies raised on the day will support our work challenging homelessness in the Glasgow area.”
I’m going to volunteer. You should too. It will mean getting to the game a wee bit earlier but it will also mean you can look those values we all preach in the eye. Words are easy but on this occasion, so are actions. Let’s do it.
I’ll find out how you volunteer and report back soon.

Sad to hear of the passing of another Clydebank stalwart.
My dad was ten or so years older than JMcA but considered him and Jimmy Malcolm among so many others as a friend and Party colleague for many years.
Not many of that generation, who fought so hard for their town, left with us now.
My thoughts will be with you and them tomorrow.

The kind that like to stand in your office and pretend they’re standing on the tee…squaring up to their ball. I enjoy swimming, but i don’t go about waving my arms like I’m doing the backstroke…..
On the Independence thing. I spend most of my time working outside Scotland ( and the rest of Britain ) but still own a property and pay council tax ( not an absentee landlord, btw – i don’t rent my property ). I still pay tax and VAT. I will be giving my vote, by proxy, to my Son, who lives and works at home. He’s going to be around to live and work there for a lot longer than i’m likely to be around for, so i think he has more at stake in the future of an Independent Scotland ( or otherwise) than i do. I think everyone over 50 should do the same. It’s more our Kids future than ours, and anyway, most of the ‘youngsters’ i know have a better understanding of the issues than the older folk i speak to about it. Most people are STILL under the misapprehension that a ‘yes’ vote is an SNP vote. Hopefully someone can get the message across to them.

I’m beginning to wonder if there are any yes voters on here who are prepared to admit to being either members or supporters of the SNP?
It’s all very curious.

My mate works with White. I’m reliably informed he reads an autocue. Nothing else. He has no input on what is broadcast and what footage is used on stories.
JW is actually alright. I’ve had a few nights in his company. He is certainly not the demon Huns he is made out to be in Celtic cyberspace.
Outta here.

I guess that the referendum yes/no debate has as much right to be debated on here as, music or cuba or religion or any of the other wide and varied topics that get debated
Me personally i will scroll past the referendum posts, but i find that i need to read a bit of each mail to discover if it is a referendum mail or not. Since there is so many of them, and they are likely to continue for a few months yet, would it be unreasable to have a heading on them that identifies the posts for the not interested.

WGS is probably the most pro Celtic man out there when on media duties.

I won’t be saying any more on the referendum issue, but feel free to scroll on past anyway ;-)

Well I don’t know if admitting that I will vote yes on 18 September marks me down as a dimwit in your estimation – especially as I do so for those most despised of reasons ie emotional ones.
I am Scottish by birth , my background in terms of ancestry is more mixed as I have strong branches on the tree that are Irish and English. But I think of myself as being Scottish. I would have voted in favour of Scottish Independence had I had the chance any time since I was eligible to vote.
I shall be sad if Scotland votes to remain as a part of the UK as it will mean that in my lifetime I will not live to see something I would have wanted for a long time but I will not be dejected. I do not hate Britain though personally any patriotism I have for that state is not of the Daily Mail sort. I have no great fondness for the Monarchy as an institution, no great pride in the achievements of the British Army nor do I delight in the class structure which seems even
more entrenched than it was 30 years ago. I like that as Democracies
go Britain seems to have one that is
less bad than others, like the
achievements in the arts, sciences and welfare that have happened in
Britain. It has things it should be
ashamed of – but isn’t- but it is not the
worst country in the world or Europe.
But I am Scottish and I want to be
Scottish and not British.
I am under no illusions of what Scotland will be like if it votes for separation . It will not be Utopia. Nor though will it be the Dystopia predicted by the No campaign. It will not be Cataclysmic for the West. We’ll still have the same Queen, the same prejudices and the same local media we have now. It will still have the same rotten weather. But we will have – more than we have now – more say in what we do inside our country and in relation to others. It will only be a start. But I think , as I always have, it will be a start worth making.
No ofference mate as I enjoy your posts and apologies for the rambling on a subject which normally bores the hell out of me when others raise it here.
And now I’m away to argue with my boss that doing voluntary and/or charity work is a matter of personal choice and conscience and that they should not be compulsory parts of my work

I concur re. JW. I’ve had him in the back of my cab a couple of times, ( ooh err missus!), and I’ve found him to be a decent guy, not the bigot I refer to when I see him on TV. Cant stand his TV persona though!

Agree. Might be interesting if there was some structured argument behind some posts. But the majority of it is ill-tempered rhetoric. As others have pointed out – views are pretty entrenched and unchanging. More heat than light. I was interested at the start but now I usually look at the poster’s blogname then scroll down.

I don’t know about you but I’m getting worried about the financial health of that new club…that’s me over it hahahahahaha :))

“White and Tanner make no attempt to hide their Sevco bias”
Tanner’s a toley. He is a hurting Zombie and is basically not very good at his job.
White is not really into football, although he started following the club in liquidation when his pal Souness was given the head amputee’s position at Ibrox.

most people I have spoken to who will be voting yes are disillusioned labour voters, go figure.

Well at least we can rely on the sfa taking action !!!!!!

On a more important note
oldtim has confirmed that he will be in usual hotspot at 2.30 tomorrow, open to all …
so whose accounts are these?
didnt I read Accounts from some company or other who claimed to have 3 million quid in the bank last December
Is this the club? the company? the clumpany?
whats going on?
do we currently have
1 rangers in liquidation
1 rangers with 3 million quid left (last december)
1 rangers with a 99% wages to turnover
its a fiasco disguised as a farce !!
and the SFA/SPL are up to their knees in it right enough

So you don’t speak to any SNP members or supporters?
They seem to be conspicuous by their absence.
As I said, it’s all very curious.
Lions roar stick his fingers in his ears and pretends he can’t hear. He then needs tos resort to insults to retort. Sad.
Natnow yes I have been following the poll of polls and they show little change. The panelbase question is long winded and pro Nat and constantly shows a narrowed picture. But the claims by Nats on here that it’s getting close are risible.
Jimbo it doesn’t make you a dimwit any more than me voting no does. There are strong emotional arguments for independence and I understand that even if I don’t agree. What I can’t stand is the nonsense peddled and pathetic equations with unionism of the Irish variety.
Chaps sorry end of debate as far as I am concerned.
I will get back to having a go at the celtic board!!!!
Those new Hun accounts look errrrrrrr stunning…..
The Huns are goin’ bust…The Huns are goin’ bust…..
Am I allowed to say that on here : )
Picked up an Arabic word I won’t forget too quickly. Word association is good innit, pronounced

Seems that the huns can only survive on those figures if EVERYONE worked for nothing,from the tea-lady upwards.
And I wonder how much their income figures are bolstered by revenue from TV,money which their league status doesn’t command.
Anyway,back to work. Pity really. There have been some excellent posts this morning already. JIMBO67 in particular,take a bow.
From the hootsman:
CELTIC manager Neil Lennon has admitted that he plans to return to social networking site Twitter after a four-month hiatus.
In an interview with the website of world football governing body FIFA, Lennon said: “I think I’m going to go back on Twitter. They’ve asked me to come back and I think I probably will because I did enjoy it.
“The problem was that it started taking up too much of my time.”
Lennon, who became embroiled in a number of online altercations with fans and players during his time on Twitter, has backed his squad to make use of the social network.
Lennon said: “I certainly don’t have a problem with the players going on and engaging in that type of thing.
“What’s made very clear, though, is that there’s a line they cannot cross. They know where that line is.”
Lennon, who had over 150,000 Twitter followers before leaving the social network in December last year, hit out at the tone of some of the online criticism of footballers and managers. He said: “What I don’t like, say with the criticism of (Manchester United manager) David Moyes recently, is the type of criticism that comes from it – almost trying to humiliate the man.
“I find that very crass and unfortunately it seems to go with the territory these days.
“Constructive criticism you expect but the poisonous stuff – and I’ve had it myself – leaves a bitter taste.”
If Lennon does return it will be under a new name, as his previous Twitter handle – @OfficialNeil – has since been taken by another user.
Rabbi, minister and priest are playing golf one day and their on the 8th hole about to play their second shots.
Suddenly a ball comes whizzing past them, shortly followed by another.
The look behind them to see four guys playing golf with guide dogs.
The priest calls over the green keeper and asks,
” what’s with the guys behind us with the guide dogs playing golf?”
The green keeper replies,
” that’s the four firemen who saved our clubhouse but were blinded in the fire. The club gave them free life membership and they are allowed to play the course at any time and to bring their guide dogs”
The rabbi immediately offers up a prayer for the firemen and wishes them a long and fruitful life.
The minister does the same and thanks god for his sight.
The priest asks ” why don’t they play at night? “

Does the chiffon number have lots of adverts for Boatdman, Shimano, Cannondale…?

Aye. He’s a decent fulla.
The guy I know who works with him, an Englishman who supports Arsenal, told me a great story about when Sky covered a Scottish Cup final between us and the club in liquidation.
He had gone to Hampden with JW as Sky was covering the match, and they stopped off at a pub to meet one of White’s pals to give him a ticket. The pub was full of the Angry Brigade signing their usual bile by the sounds of it.
Whyte apologised to my mate and they left the pub immediately with the other guy. White then explained that he has zero tolerance over bigotry.
My mate didn’t really know what they were singing about – it may have been one of their more subtle ditties – but his misguided choice of teams does not make JW the demon some paint him to be.
Didnt Jim white get his photograph taken while wearing a sash
hardly the actions of someone who is not a rabid hun bigot
or am I just stereotyping Orange Bees?
I wonder what leigh Griffiths would say about that then?
