tom1172 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Not sure if this is on another thread or not but just wanted to say a massive well done to everyone at TASA. The cheque presentation evening was a great night, Im not sure how many dry eyes there were in the bar when that Irish bloke (please excuse my ignorance) made his speech to receive the cheque, certainly where we were up the stairs it was a very sobering moment and there were a few watering eyes around me at our table. Its what footballs all about. Yes the games are all important but the ability to be able to use the power of football and football fans to have a positive impact on the lives of others is a truly wonderful gift. Personally I don't think I've ever been prouder to be a Scotland fan as I was Friday night. Absolutely tremendous effort by you all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, I agree totally - there were certainly a few teary eyes round our table too. As you say, well done to John & everyone at TASA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goodguy Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Yup, few in our group with young kids / grand kids. Dry eyes where hard to find. Absolutely heart breaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoopyhill Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 (edited) It looked like a pretty good turnout downstairs was heaving when we left. Oh and well done to the piper! Who was the ex Ireland player that came in? Edited June 15, 2015 by snoopyhill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who was the ex Ireland player that came in? Ray Houghton : decent bloke. I sold him two TASA polos (he wanted one for himself and a medium for Davy Provan.....aye right).

Sorry I never got the chance to say hello. Great post and basically sums up my thoughts, very emotional and I had to shake the irish gentleman's hand. Makes you appreciate what you have and puts football in perspective. Well done TASA and the tartan army, such a worthy cause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
