    what a terrible * freak tragedy to happen, they reckon up to 100,000 have died so far with the toll rising. Seeing all sorts of horrible things on tv and heard some cruel stories but is there really a need for papers to sprawl pictures of the dead all over the front pages naked and full of blood ??? imagine losing someone in that way and seeing photos of bodies all over the papers..... disgraceful.

    anyway celtic have made a donation and i suspect there will be minutes silences all over europe this weekend.

    Shocking stuff! It's really hard to watch on the news, especially when the death numbers keep rising! Good bless everyone who went through the experience and RIP whoever passed away.

    It's sad but it's worse how over in Africa that * happens all the time but yet no-one does * all. The gov. could wipe their debt out easily and let them re-build their lives but naw! Im glad Celtic are donating cash to try and help those ppl though.

    its unfuckingbelievable....

    did any of you see the story some of the news agencies had running? apparently an australian woman and her 2 children were being dragged under, and she had to let one go so that the other could live? the lil guy she let go made it safe...but still what a horrible choice....puts football in perspective....

    glad to see celtic givin some help

    i heard that story about havin to choose one of the kids.... * disturbing.

    All the players & backroom staff have also pitched in 30,000

    i think of all clubs in europe done the same they could raise a good few million.

    don't think they can get the supports into some places as it's still flooded and wouldnt you know there's * wars going on too, they could have a cease fire for a few weeks and let their people get help.

    Yeah mate...know what you mean...really dont know how these people can summon the strength to carry on..on sky news was a bloke trying to get some aid package from a helicopter...he then broke down crying...became clear that he had just lost his wife and 3 kids...Actually makes me feel like * for going aboutnormal business and being concerned for stuff like footie...puts the whole lot into perspective..
