You did this in 2013

1233

Yet again during 2013 we asked you to put your hand in your pocket and you responded as only Celtic fans do.  You raised £6000 before and during the focus of our summer fundraising activity, the annual golf day.  £4500 of this went towards the 1254125 Appeal, which during the year did an enormous amount to anchor the club and support right back to where we came from.  Clic Sargent, who help children with cancer, also benefited at that time.

Thanks also to those who sponsored my 10k at the Great Scottish Run in October to the tune of £1552.  Times remain tight for many, so I the value of your support.

Perhaps the biggest response all year came from the commitment we made to Mary’s Meals to build and kit a kitchen at the Kholoni Primary School in Malawi.  1200 kids are registered at the school but there are no catering facilities, so students go hungry, or simply don’t go to school at all.  Pablophanque’s family sent on the £4500 support they received in 2011 to the appeal, while 470 people booked a seat at the CQteN St Patrick’s Day dinner, with more on the waiting list.  The work we’ll achieve in 2014 will be incredible.

This place can stress and annoy sometimes but it has become a great window into the soul of the Celtic support.

Have a great Christmas and thank you for all your support.

  5. I’m flagging, but I wish all Celtic fans, especially those on CQN, a Merry Christmas and a successful year in 2014.

  6. Ive just heard that the banner ban is back on again but the decision will probably be changed a couple more times before the kick-off.

  7. Are you in possession of information given to you by Celtic that the supporters of Celtic, without clique or status, should be aware of. I n other words what makes you more a Celtic a Supporter then the dead Celtic Supporter.

     

     

    You just don’t get it do you?

  10. Paul,

     

     

    Best wishes to you & yours over the festive period.

     

    The effort Celtic fans put in to all charity requests is quite incredible.

  13. Bhoys and Ghirls its been a turbulent time on the old blog and amongst our great family , at times like this I ask myself what would Tommy have said and done , oh how we need a man like that to lead us out of this malaise a lot of us seem to be in .

  14. I listened to Keevins last night stating Ally didn’t know how the supporters would use their vote in the AGM. He said something like “I looked into his eyes and having looked at them I believe Ally”. I look forward to the same sympathy the next time Peter Lawwell or Neil Lennon say something that is hard to believe.

     

    On the flags debate I think the Celtic fans are being demonized. In future tell all clubs we refuse to take away tickets. Then Police Scotland will be happy. (the SPFL wont right enough) If I were Celtic I would query every bill sent to them by the Polis. They stood and watched as fans wrecked the toilets at Parkhead, the same with the Ajax game and obviously the Motherwell game. In short the useless gits do hee haw only video and harass young fans.

    Re the game v Fiorentina, I had the pleasure of being in Bobby Lennox`s house and he showed me some football tops he had swopped against European opposition. The Fiorentina top was made of thick heavy wool. I said to BL that they must have been roasting, he said that when the players were swopping the Fiorentina players also had thick khaki army tops on under the wooly jumpers.

    Feliz Navidad to one & all

     

     

    May peace break into your home and may thieves come to steal your debts.

     

     

    May the pockets of your jeans become a magnet for £100 notes?

     

     

    May love stick to your face like glue and laughter lay siege to your lips?

     

     

    May happiness slap you across the face and may your tears be that of joy.

     

     

    May the problems you had forget your home address?

     

     

    In simple terms may 2014 be the best year of your life.

  18. Kitalba. I’ve posted albeit infrequently on this blog for 7 years now, and on occasion you and I have exchanged posts, although I’ve no reason to expect you to remember that. In that time I’ve seen you rage, I’ve seen you love I’ve seen you happy, sad and everytthing in between. Never till recently have I detected a bitterness and anger that I do now. You have no beef with Auldheid, and I’m sure in your heart of hearts you know that.

     

     

    You may or may not wish to share what’s troubling you, but in my experience such transferred anger as seems evident in your recent posts, usually has something altogether seperate at it’s root.

     

     

    I wish you and your everything you would wish for yourselves this Christmas and if there is anything anyone can do for you, you know you only have to ask your friends here.

  19. Oh! are you now the cyber drink police on here…

     

     

    On question…

     

     

    Who gave you the right to judge?

     

     

    Yourself?

     

     

    Are you that important?

  20. wondered why the “You did This” piece appeared a few days back ?? What was the real story then ??
