Hi all members of Ballymena Shamrock Celtic Supporters Club
I am treasurer of Friends of Glenariffe (Oisin CLG) fundraising committee. We are fundraising to assist the build of new clubrooms,community/sports facility at our hurling pitch in Glenariffe (Queen of the Glens!). We are running a 3 hour show called 'Who wants to be a Thousandaire' on Saturday 30th October at 8 pm in the Leighinmohr Hotel in Ballymena. Its a 3 hour show - Fiddler Adams will provide the entertainment, there will be auctions, raffles, spot prizes etc., the game show itself and a disco afterwards. The show brings its own MC - some of the questions will be GAA minded the rest general knowledge. The funding of the show is sale of digital advertising for which our great BSCSC is one of the sponsors. The tickets are £15 each and admits you to the show and the chance to take part with the opportunity to win up to £1000. My good friend Mo Goldring and his wife are going. It promises to be a good night and good craic. I will bring tickets with me to the rangers game on 24th October, there will also be a limited amount of tickets sold at the door. You can book tickets with me on the phone 21771154 or mob 07516791764 if any of you want to go.

Hello everybody in Ballymena,
I am looking forward to see you all in Utrecht next week. Especially Johnny Mccrystal.
I didn't see you for a long time. Almost 20 years ago we went to Amsterdam with
Ballymena Shamrock to go later to the match in Belgium against Germinal Ekeren.
Please let me know if you're coming to Holland to see the match, maybe we can meet.
I'll be going to the match myself.

Just watched the Riva on video and brought a tear to my eye !! What a guy and what a club !! It was fitting that our club paid tribute to Riva on our big night and it reminded me of why i support Celtic . There is always a reason why u support the Hoops and I am sure we can always remember who introduced us to the Celtic family .
Had a god chat with Tony Scullion who now lives in Ballycastle and I thank his Grandfather who lived next door to me for assisting my Celtic education . My uncle Bruce was there and that was great too and Jazzer was watching fom heaven !!! Hail hail !! I love the hoops

On behalf of the O'Hagan family and committee of the SPOH Charitable Trust we would like to thank the Ballymena Shamrock CSC, especially Marty and William for proposing our charity to be the main beneficiary of their fund-aiser. We very much appreciate the hard work that they put into making the night a great success. We were overwhelmed by the generosity of Ballymena Shamrock and their supporters.
We intend on keeping you all up to date on what is going on, and who is benefiting from your kind donation.

Good Morning from Glasgow,
Hello my name is Robert Harvey. A few years ago I compiled a book called “ 1,000 Celtic Quotes, Notes, and Anecdotes.”
Every Celtic supporter has a story to tell. I have recently set up a website called www.celticquotes.co.uk. Already we have contributions from Celtic supporters in places as far away as South Africa and Australia. Please see the website for the amazing story ( number 7) from the Civil War in Burundi, Africa.
Many of the stories will stick in your mind for a long time.
I would love to hear your favourite Celtic story. Everyone has a unique, funny, or hair-raising story to tell ! - See list below for a few suggested topics.
Can you please forward to any of your friends, family, or work colleagues who are Celtic supporters: Thank You
· the first Celtic game that you ever attended
· your first night at a European Cup game at Celtic Park under the towering flood lights,
· your first green and white rosette or scarf
· a last minute goal ( for or against)
· a treasured picture
· Milan or Seville or Lisbon or your first Old Firm game
· the funniest comment you have ever heard at a game
· a trip abroad to watch Celtic

Hands up if you spotted Antrims newest GAA fan on BBC following their victory over Cavan in the Ulster Semi Final? Apparantly BBC received numerous complaints from viewers, not as you might expect from parents worried about the affect his face had on their children before the watershed but from GAA traditionalists about the big guipe wey the Celtic jersey on...Now as we all know there is always a little conflict between the GAA and the soccer faternity so in an effort to avoid any mishaps after Antrim beat Tyrone I have decided to hold a collection to get big Marty a brand new Antrim jersey for the final...Can anybody willing to contribute to the fund update the guestbook?

The celtic jersey its always there as well to wind people up. My Antrim GAA top is in the house somewhere !! lol.
As for the conflict betweeen the GAA and soccer, i think that is all sorted out due to the benefits both organisations get using Croke Park !!!
Semi Final was a great day out, good luck to Antrim in the final !!!

Hi shams. I'm very impressed with the new website. I am a former member of the Ballymena Shamrocks, from Carnlough and can remember a time when there were two Celtic clubs in Ballymena. Can anyone remember the shortived Ballymena Emerald club? Did the Emerald members eventually evolve into the Shamrock club? Are there still any Emerald badges about?
I have to agree with Mickey Lennon's views on Gordon Strachan. He was a huge success and gave us Naka, Boruc and Caldwell. I am not convinced Mogga is the right man but I remain faithful thru and thru and will give him my support.
Great website, great club. Keep up the great work.
Gary
Submitted by Ballymena Shamrock CSC (not verified) on Wed, 24/06/2009 - 2:25pm.
Mr Morgan
Gordon Strachan was a huge success? The football he subjected the supporters to was painful and he had no respect for the Celtic fans whatsoever. He should have done the decent thing and went in January and we could have got another manager in who would have seen JVOH and Samaras for what they are - a waste of space, and it would have been 4 in-a-row. Chris Sutton near the end of his career was ten times better than these pair and when Strachan arrived and he couldn’t get him out the door quick enough.
Steven McManus is not only the worst captain I have ever seen at Celtic but also the worst centre back. I see you mentioned Naka, Boruc and Caldwell. Dont see you mention any of the following numpties: Du wei, Gravesen, Zurawski, Virgo, Samaras, Killen, Dion Dublin, Mo Camara, Evander Sno, Mark Brown, Jiri Jarosik, Massimo Donati, Derek Riordan.........
We had Rangers on their knees in season 08/09 and with better management we would have left them financially crippled come the summer of this year. Their top players would have had to have been sold on to meet their debts. What a position that would have left us in for the forthcoming seasons.
You could blame the Board or you could blame Strachan for this missed opportunity. I wouldn’t have had much faith in him anyway if he had been given funds in January to bring in a striker or a left back that we have needed desperately for a few years now.
Yes he won 3 leagues in 4 years. Paul Le Guen, the worst manager in Rangers' History, handed him one of them and the last one was won because Rangers got to the Uefa Cup Final. Nobody could argue with that.
With regards to the last 16 of the Champions League, last gasp luck and the other results in the group going Strachan’s way was the reason for that.
Martin O'Neill's team would have destroyed what Strachan has patched together over the years.
We are definitely better off without him!
p.s Are you the same Gary Morgan who once scored a hat trick for the mighty Glencloy Swifts?? :) Jock taught you well!!!
