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.

Having read Hugh Keevins ramblings earlier the guy has either completely lost the plot or he is trying to ensure that the rage on his phone in show is from Celtic supporters not Deidco or Newco fans.
An eejit of the highest order. Comparing Stein to McMoist is like comparing McMoist to Al Pacino in the acting profession.
If the Record had any brains they would retire the poor fella.

Livibhoy (and Tamrabam with apologies for not noticing my phone’s predictive text took over).
It turns out from a quick response from the SLO that Celtic are looking at the matter of easing travel to Murrayfield, but see the merit in the suggestion of using post codes to bring folks together, particularly in these days of easy contact.
It would take a dedicated project to set something up but I’m thinking using Google Maps to identify supporter related boundaries and Celtic acting in some way as facilitators to change Celtic supporters from strangers to friends who have not met yet.
On a wider basis I think that the CSA, CST, Blogs , GB, Kano type initiatives etc all offer a service to each other and the support as a whole and that Celtic, with the data glue to provide cohesion, could play a greater role as facilitators.
But first we must get rid of the mad idea of its them and us. An idea that is not peculiar to just one side, but one on which I have observed a great deal of movement on Celtic’s side since I first tunnelled my way in 4 years ago (without realising it btw).

You live in Sin City and you are lecturing Catholic’s how to vote in Scotland on an election that will not affect you?
Are you Hugh Keevins in disguise?

BB05 what makes you think an independent Scotland will tackle Scotland’s shame? All the signs are that it will quite the reverse and the majority will ensure that the minority’s position is undermined at every turn.
Next thing the will hide or lose all the statistics that show attacks on Catholics…….oh wait…..
lets stick then with the considered certainty of the 300 year old layered and institututional bigotry that is the mountainous pile of kack you shout your from.
my faith has been in this country for some 1500 years and will be here at the day of calling
that i have no problem in and have total confidence in.
better to be active within than shouting what you think from the outside Neg.

re shoulder behind the stone this morning,quality.
Could i suggest that pressure may be brought on Sky,especially in regards to the
split of subscription monies
i.e try and ensure those subscribing in Scotland have their monies channelled into the scottish game instead of going to the biggest most overly hyped bestest paid league in the world.
just a thought.

Agree it’s a great idea. Information must be up to date and collection points must be clearly stipulated for CSC’s. That can sometimes change at late notice. Especially with changes to game days and kick off times. It should not be discounted though. I recko0n what would be required is some kind of forum with contact details.
Town
Country
Bus name/Car contact
Time of departure
Time of arrival
Time of return
Our CSC use Facebook for this nowadays but I don;t feel it is updated enough. I learned very quickly that if you expect your members to be comitted to the CSC you must at all times appear organised and professional. One slip up like a bus not turning up and you can lose them in droves.
How you keep a databse and how you vet people to get access is the key here.
Do only season ticket holders get access and use their ST number to log in?
Do you have email addresses to contact people or is it an interactive forum type of databse where people can ask questions?
It’s a great idea but needs thought out thoroughly.
It would be great if it was a forum type thing and if the bus has been moved the driver can text one person and he can update the convener who in turn can update the forum to let his members know. With the WiFi installed at Paradise this should be pretty straight forward. I know not everyone has access to the internet but even if 50% had access it would provide a decent portal to the users who do and they can pass the message on to others. It would also provide a service to people who have missed their bus. It has happened to me in the past. I’ve had to run about looking for another CSC travelling east. This was obviously before the improved rail links to Livingston. being able to pin point another CSC travelling east would be useful and they may not have left yet and provide a lift home.
There are many options to this idea and the car sharing is probably more useful for away matches when tickets are scarce. Certainly worth thinking about.
One thing to bear in mind though. There are around 6 CSC’s in the Livingston area for 1 reason. Not everyone gets on too well with each other. There are always fall outs and the way one group run a CSC is different from others and it can cause arguments. I have seen it many times in the past. It has never bothered me. I don;t get involved. I go to watch Celtic not argue over where the sweep money should be going or whether there should be a fitba card. Drink is an issue as well. Some CSC’s allow drink and some don’t. That can be an issue and cause arguments.
In saying all that I still think it’s a cracking idea. I think it needs to be looked at in detail and scoped out probably in association with the supporters groups and maybe even a survey among the Season Ticket holders.
What’s important here is that Celtic are thinking about the fans which is what we want. I don;t think the fans expect to be consulted on everything but they want to be involved and feel valued by the club. If the club can help the fans then that should be applauded too.
Wish them well with this one because it appears to be a step in the right direction to helping supporters cut down the rising transport costs and dare I say make us greener in the environmental sense of the word.

Right! A sly football question.
hehe made me smile :-))
tho on a serious note the complexities of ownership of players(% by this agent and that agent) in south america i feel still have to be ironed out.I would debate that this could lead to players being unsettled easily.

I actually thought the piece put up earlier about The Whispering Fat One as being a chip of the old Jock was satire.
Miss Doc just pointed out the real article by Keevins.
Reinforces the point about staying away from the SMSM.
KevJ, I would love to read you comments on that one.
Incredible.
Kojo
I believe everyone has a right to comment on what they want. It’s a free country.
What I find amusing is your scare mongering of what Scotland will be like independent for Roman Catholic’s.
Can you be specific on what it will be like for us please?
My son is nearly 2 and will be a practising Roman Catholic. If you have insider knowledge on the persecution he will be subjected to then please let me know.
If he has to go through the same as I have then he will become a man like me and grow stronger for it.
It’s never been easy being an RC in this country but many of us have rose above it and made a decent life for ourselves and our families.
I’m not entirely convinced on how I will vote yet in September but I am certainly 70% yes at the moment.
Please enlighten me from Las Vegas on the future of Scotland!

Think my list trumps your one SFTB.
If the Daily Mail reader you are referring to is me, I wouldn’t vote yes. However the scare mongering is pathetic.
Learn to love Dylan SFTB.
………………………………………
I absolutely hate myself for rising to the bait but you call valid concerns over religious, cultural and because of the team we support ‘scaremongering’. Tell us please why these concerns are unfounded? It really is rather amusing to be pontificated to on such matters to one who lives abroad. I await your reassurance.

Anymore of Jedward and I’ll be forced to play you some Adam and the Ants.
We have been progressing with the idea that Doc mentions above.
We have sold a few advertising pages today and plan to try to sell some more. If anyone wishes to help in that then please let us know. (david@CQNMagazine.com).
We are going to produce a booklet – similar to the CQTEN programme for those who were at the event – only with more pages.
We will distribute these before the remaining three home games. We will print 10,000 copies.
We will try to achieve the following:
1) Introduce more supporters to CQN and encourage more people to try to get their Celtic news online.
2) Promote the new edition of CQN Magazine which is packed with pro- Celtic content and is available for FREE.
3) Promote the Seville book which is currently among the top selling books in Scotland. Many supporters won’t even know about this book.
4) Feature the Lions re the forthcoming celebrations in Lisbon and the new books from Tommy Gemmell and John Hughes, both of which are excellent.
There will be snippets from the books, some chat from Paul and BRTH about the blog and the magazine. It will also look great.
Here is the link to the CQTEN programme (digital version) for those interested.

Get onto KDS they have the zombies season ticket renewal blurb and a video that goes with it.
Comedy gold!!
ok here are the words.This is NOT a wind up
This is not just your seat.
You are keeping it warm for the generations to come.
Because Rangers Football Club is bigger than any individual.
We are a team with over 50 thousand players.
One footballing family dressed in light blue.
Turning up to play our part every Saturday afternoon and floodlit night.
Season after season (and sometimes four seasons in one game).
Warming up in the training ground, the park; with teammates, with friends.
Celebrating every goal, every victory, every piece of silverware.
Never giving up, even when the odds are stacked against us.
This is a place where legends never die, they grow.
Where even the players are lifelong fans.
But we are all just custodians playing our 90 minutes and then passing it forward.
Together we can make sure there’s always a Rangers.
People really should feel some sympathy for old Hughie K
Minty must have some really disgusting photos of him in some ridiculous positions!
That’s all I can think of -as to why he would continue to make himself such an object of fun and scorn!
If these pictures do not exist then someone should gently lead the old codger ( no tittering at the back – Howard, F) away to enjoy the twilight of his years in a secluded rest home for retired sports hacks!
At least HK is talking about the football rather than all this tedious banter about the referendum!
It’s still 6 months away yet we are subjected to a daily diet of pro and con diatribes
IMHO Paul should ban this until nearer the time -say 24 hours before the vote!

After reading that article, I have to agree with KevJungle: Keevins is a Celtic supporter. No sane journalist could pen such nonsense. He must be trying to keep Ally in a job, as every Celtic supporter is hoping and praying for.

Ones genuine beliefs is not scaremongering.
Just for the record (No, not the Daily), I share his sentiment but, I am not & never have been Scottish, therefore I don’t get involved in the YES/NO debate.
It’s Scottish Law & Scottish Journo’s that create the Anti-Catholic bigotry in Scotland.
Do you think this sectarian hatred would be tolerated over the border in the 21st Century?
TD 67. Best wishes, sounds like a particularly nasty and painful fall. Take care.

A Scotsman a Hungarian and a Pole were in Cairo travelling back from the office to the hotel. They shared the journey most days for the past 2 weeks and joke telling had become the norm to while away the time spent in traffic.
Today the Scotsman told an Irish joke. It was a hoot. The Hungarian told an Italian joke. Loadsa laughs. The Pole told a Chinese joke. Went down a treat. Yesterday Russian jokes were the order of the day.
Luckily there was no recording and no one mentioned Rudi Skacel.
Otherwise the SFA may have looked to see if their jurisdiction extended as far as the Nile.
