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.

    Aye, the ones in control know they need jack, mores the pity.

     

     

    Still, I am hopeful they will die again, and as Auldheid says, looking forward to the spin they put on it.

     

     

    I wonder how many reincarnations they will have ?

     

     

    Feck them.

     

     

    Have a great time with the family.

     

     

    Take care and god bless.

    I’ll be honest, I’ve know better days, but the questions that I ask of Aulheid have got nothing to do with them.

     

     

    I asked Aulheid what is the difference between the SPL 5 way agreement, and the SFL agreement in reply to his question of me a couplke of days ago. Now I have three different copies of th 5 way agreement, non of them signed. but I was simply asking a valid question in response to a question.

     

     

    Make of that as you will.

     

     

    Never mind my grievance with Aulheid, my true grievance is that Celtic signed up to that 5 way agreement.

     

     

    If they did not let them tell us all they did not.

     

     

    How dare you ask for proof that Celtic signed up to the “5 way agreement”.Do you want the answer to leave half of this blog with nowhere to go,no board to support blindly?.

    This morning St J were offering to refund tickets: now that the “ban” has been lifted I would suspect that that has changed too.

     

     

    So you’re 100% right.

     

     

    Just a pity this whole episode couldn’t have been nipped in the bud.

     

     

    Still think plod will be out to justify their triple time, and make sure that Celtic continue to dominate the headlines, and continue to deflect from the Sevco train crash.

    =============================

     

    It was not a question of daring to ask ,it was a question of it not being clear exactly where and so in what context the question was asked. Once that was clarified the question was answered.

     

     

    Celtic could not have signed up to the 5 way agreement because they were not signatories to it because they had no right to have any say in it.

     

     

    Simple.

    Beautiful sunny warm day here on west coast USA. Lunch at a local brewery and then helping out this afternoon with a blood donating drive at the local fire station. Back home for dinner and then a good polishing for midnight Mass.

     

     

    A very merry Christmas to all Tims across the globe and especially to our host Paul who provides us gobshites with the medium to learn, laugh and bicker (on occasion…).

    Through howling wind and rain – on the last ferry to make the Island it came

     

    On the final leg a man in red with a heavy burden delivered it

     

    And against all of natures adversity in a triumph of human endeavour

     

    From writers to compilers to all who we touch through Celtic

     

    A miracle was created- unto me this day a CQN Annual was bourn

     

     

    Thanks to all involved
