This year some of your money went to Whizz-Kidz, who help some of the estimated 70,000 children in the UK waiting for the right wheelchair. They not only provide equipment and life skills, but also offer support to young people. Take a look at this video to find out the kind of way your cash has changed a life:
We’ve just sent off money to Action on Depression, a Scottish charity working with some of the 10% of the population who suffer from this illness at some point in their lives. Like all of the recipients of your money this year, there is a feeling that we provided no more than a drop in the ocean of what is required, but with depression we felt that bringing the subject out into the open was as important as the money donated.
This illness can do enormous damage lurking in the shadows, let’s kick it into the light.
Many of you will remember the Martin Chamber Ecuador Trust. Fr Martin left Scotland some years ago to help some of the most deprived people on earth. In his words, this is why we helped:
“I would say that people should care about the poor people of Ecuador firstly because they are our brothers and sisters. On top of that their needs are great: they have no running water, no proper sanitation, no sewerage system and poor electricity. They have little access to education or to medical care and they are crammed together in bamboo huts – mile upon mile of houses, millions of people living below the poverty line. That’s why people should care.”
You gave to the Ronnie Coyle Benefit Trust, sadly, Ronnie is no longer with us, you donated to the Aberdour PTA, from the Fife village that hosts our summer get-together, and you gave a donation to The Haven, who help people with life limiting illness from Glasgow and Lanarkshire. Their story is available in a short video here, take a look at what your money is doing.
All in I’d say you did very well. Very well indeed. Have a great Christmas, you deserve it.

If “Elbows” plays, we need to get Big Vic or Kayal stuck right intae him early doors a la Barry Robson!
Dempsey equalizes against Chelski…
He is a good player.
Merry christmas bhoys and ghirls. I dont like all this confidence going into the rangers game !!! Im going on Wednesday night and Im nervous already. This is my first Celtic v Thems game since Charlie Nicholas scored at Ibrox (same time of year may even have been New Year Day ??) and done his wee dance at the Celtic end (early 80s). When we beat em 3 nil at parkhead last season i was still a nervous wreck going into the last ten mins and coasting!! anyone else like this or is it just me !!
fan a tic
i agree re Hooper ..no contest imo ..he is the big game player
re workrate ..Stokes can, from time to time , give a exemplary performance as the the most petulent disinterested player ever …
Belated Season’s Greetings to Paul , CQNer’s and all in Timland. Wishing you and your families all the best for the coming year!
Team for Wednesday
Fraser
Cha Kelvin Charlie Joe
Jamsie Skoosh Victor Beram Sammy
Stokesy
C’mon The Tic!

A certain Scott Macdonald comes to mind.
Mcculloch is a bully he`ll not fancy taking Kayal,Vic or Broon on
besides which he`s slow and rubbish
Minceyheidman
similar in their behaviour at times

Though maybe Stokes not offside as much….that used to do my head in as I did like Scott.

“A certain Scott Macdonald comes to mind.”
There is only one winner in this shameful category – Mark Viduka.
He refused to go back on to the pitch for the second half against Inverness CT.
A disgraceful character and a total charlatan, who should never have played for Celtic anyway following his disappearing act a couple of days after signing for us.
Afternoon fellow Tims,
Hope everyone had a peaceful, Happy and enjoyable Christmas. This Irish Bhoy is in desperate need of 2 tkts for Wednesdays game. ( even 1 would be good ) I’m flying over myself for the game but an Irish and Glaswegian Bhoy txt me looking for a tkt. The Irish Bhoy is traveling without a tkt so am desperate to try and sort him out. I can be contacted on 00353 83 310 9887. ( that’s my Irish mobile number with the prefix for calling the republic of Ireland included)
Any help would be massively appreciated.
Hail Hail

Dembele giving a Vic like performance for Fulham
Roddybhoy,
You describe me to a T. I have had far far too many bad expeeriences of that match to be anything but nervous, even if we are winning 5-0 with 5 seconds to go.
GerryBhoy
I know that. Christ died on the + not a X. Just a thing that really really annoys me!! Not a big ask is it??
TMWTL
i agree re the application of the rules re the refs
the ridiculous thing is that Collum is an uncle Tim whereas McLean is a bluenose
i often feel we get a worse deal from Collum , Conroy et al than we get from the others ….

Another great player when he wanted to play but agreed spat the dummy out too often.
Just watched Lampard subbed there and he was nearly crying so you never know.
Sturridge now off too and looks well miffed but interesting stat there that AVB has used all 3 subs in every game this year so 1 to go.
S o S
To Greece?? lol
Gerrybhoy
If they do that then in all likelihood Golumn will send them off.
A wee song to remember all those who have gone before us, all of them, all the ones you would like to be looking at, sitting beside, watching, talking.
Whether they played for Celtic or not.
If I Could Be Where You Are
Where are you this moment?
only in my dreams.
You’re missing, but you’re always
a heartbeat from me.
I’m lost now without you,
I don’t know where you are.
I keep watching, I keep hoping,
but time keeps us apart
Is there a way I can find you,
is there a sign I should know,
is there a road I could follow
to bring you back home?
Winter lies before me
now you’re so far away.
In the darkness of my dreaming
the light of you will stay
If I could be close beside you
If I could be where you are
if I could reach out and touch you
and bring you back home
Is there a way I can find you
Is there a sign I should know
Is there a road I could follow
to bring you back home to me

McCulloch earned his nickname due to his lack of testicular fortitude.
He does not relish an even physical contest preferring the cheap shot when opponent is defenseless.
Coward in my opinion.

Fulham look very solid in the middle of the park. Torres should never have left Liverpool

Starting to think there is an offer on the table for Matthews,signed Lustik(sp) a right back and not

I may be able to help you out as my son and myself can’t go to the game on Wednessday night. I am in Stirlingshire and won’t be going into Glasgow before Wednesday so logistics might be a problem– but more than happy to help with an adult and aboys ticket for the North stand if it helps.
Paul67 can pass on my e-mail or leave a message on here and I will contact you somehow.
Can’t have you coming from Amsterdam and not getting to see the hoops!
Cheers

Magic, lump in my throat and tears in my eyes.

Great post mate and agree wouldn’t want him in our team but payed his way to Ibrox meant to have borrowed money of his parents.Makes him hungry to succeed and with dive-gate etc he will be up for the game,Sammi will have to put a shift in.
And the 3rd Chelski sub dually arrives….phantom of the opera mask and all.
The New Year game last year, Paddy, Joe and Beram took it in turns to have a bit of McCulloch and he did not like it one bit, rolling about the turf complaining to Thomson, he was never in the game, well apart from passing to big Dan that led to the penalty and 2nd goal.
McCulloch = serious liability
Too early to get nervous for Wednesday, and anyway, I don’t want to loose that smug feeling that is still hanging over me since Saturday.
Enjoy and savour, I have never saw nor heard their support so subdued or down as I have witnessed since Saturday.
Merry Christmas to you all.

PS
Collum given sweetheart deal by hs school? I mentioned this weeks ago and was hoping someone would confirm. Sabbathical for developing his referee career but job held in reserve whilst he does so. And more …
Any CQNer able to confirm.
As you may notice, this person is high on my list of contemptibles.

I mentioned this a while back too but no one was able either confirm nor deny it. Though I would be surprised if the education department were to grant such a request.

Viduka had more talent in his little finger than Henrik had in his whole body.
A shocking waste of that talent,he should have watched and learned from a MAN who was intent on being as good as he could be.
Harry Kewell was another one who should have done so much more,but if someone offers you a £20m contract,do you say thanks very much,I’ll prove I’m worth it,or cheers bud,call me a year before the contract’s up so I can remember to turn it on and earn a new one?

Im told he has left his previous school and when he spoke with his new head told them no classes wed or thurs due to refereeing games in Europe, good if you can get it eh, some second job income that is.
I have strong suspicions that Dallas still has influence here in refereeing
Highlights are now up on the beeb website….
