You did this in 2012

1024
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

Every year we ask you to put your hand in your pocket for various causes and every year you react, but never more so than 2012.  You responded magnificently to the Wee Oscar Appeal, which from Celtic fans in total raised £31k in a bucket collection in September and £27k at a race night last month.

It is breath-taking to see the work done by those who, without thought for their personal sacrifices, decided this young boy would get the best chance possible.  The photographs of Oscar are an inspiration, but the work done by those who staged the race night and bucket collection – and brought a new CQN badge to life – is even more inspiring.

The events surrounding the charity golf day raised four-figure sums for Oscar, the Neuroblastoma Alliance, the Martin Chambers Ecuador Trust and The Haven in Blantyre, which supports people with life limiting illness.  There were smaller donations too, each one a credit to the organisers and to those of you who contributed.

The overwhelming majority of this work, and pretty much all donations, are made by people who don’t want any thanks and would be horrified by publicity.  In most instances the beneficiaries will never know their names.  I’m in the really fortunate position that I get to see a lot of this happen and I can assure you it is awe inspiring.  You are in the company of many great Celts.

This club is not Neil Lennon’s or Dermot Desmond’s, it’s yours.  Celtic will win and lose many games but that will change nothing that is really important.  You are the person who will make it a unique force for good in the world.  That is our challenge for 2013.

Thank you for all your help, take care and have an absolutely fantastic Christmas.

    SIXTY FIVE years ago……..

     

     

    Forget not the boys of the heather

     

    Who marshalled their bravest and best

     

    When Ireland was broken at Wexford

     

    And looked for revenge to the West.

    Almost another Christmas is upon us, heralding in a 2013 which will be ours all the way.

     

    Thanks to Paul67 and his gang of elves who bring us this great site, which, at times, has been a godsend, highly entertaining, uplifting and very moving.

    Wish everyone on the blog a very Merry Christmas. Paul, site is a credit to you. A fantastic platform for fellow fans to share their views on. Serial lurker, but did manage to meet, totally by accident, Oldtim and Johan Murdoch in Lisbon this year. Pleasure gentlemen. Will wait until everyone in the house is up before unwrapping my CQN annual! For all those who have lost loved ones this year, condolences. The good memories will keep you going.

     

     

    Hail Hail, Bhoys and Ghirls.

    Hi bournesouprecipe!

     

     

    I cannot think of a better musician to get the first musical reference on Christmas day than the late great Rory Gallagher; in my humble opinion the best guitarist EVER!

     

     

    Now to get the presents wrapped…

     

     

    Goodnight and God Bless from TB&F. :-)

    I think you would always agree that the Celtic Board are never wanting to con us.

     

     

    No Celtic Board has Ever tried to con the Celtic Support, they have always had Celtic at Heart IMO.

     

     

    ;))

    Hoping for massive reductions in season ticket prices next Season. I’d expect at least 20 %, if not then that is stupid. Up the CL prices slightly but make sure the core are there to WITNESS Neil Stein take this Club Higher than ever. ;)))

    I am not going to apologise for playing the longer version about what Neil is ALL About. I think Neil is cut from the exact same Cloth as Paul67 and that is precisely why Both will Succeed. ;))))
