Reamonn Gormley Thai Tims

[winsamsoon]

A very sad clip on Youtube of a young Scottish lad who taught Downes children from Thailand to sing celtic songs. Reamonn was stabbed to death  at the start of the month merely a teenager himself.

RIP Reamonn

When I'm with you Celtic I go out of my head,

And I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough.

All the greats that played for you with clover on their chests,

And I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough.

The Thai Tims are singing songs for you,

And I just can't seem to get enough of...

Dududududududu,Dududududududu, Dududududududu

When we go to Ibrox. There's nothing there to fear,

And I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough.

Hooper scores a hat trick and we all start to cheer,

And I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough.

The Title's on its way to paradise

And I just can't seem to get enough of....

Dududududududu,Dududududududu, Dududududududu

I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough.
I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough.
I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough.
I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough.

Now we're off to Hampden, There's excitement in the air,

And I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough.

It's two- nil to Celtic and Paddy gets the pair,

And I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough.

Reamonn, Jinky Johnstone and Tommy Burns

Will be smiling down from Heaven on all of us.

Dududududududu,Dududududududu, Dududududududu

Hail Hail

[lfdown2]

The campaign to raise money for the Good Child Foundation in memory of 19-year-old Reamonn Gormley surpassed 1000% of its target yesterday.  It has now topped £20,000.  This is a remarkable sum raised in only two weeks and is a testament to how the Celtic and Scottish communities have been affected by the terrible loss of Reamonn earlier this month.

Reamonn travelled to Thailand and volunteered to work with the Good Child Foundation, who offer education to children of all abilities, including those with Downs Syndrome, at its school in Chanthaburi, Thailand.

As the Foundation say on their web site, "For children who have previously been excluded from a school environment and an education, the benefits are immeasurable. The school supports children through peer support and social inclusion eliminating the barriers and stigma attached to disability".

We can only hope that the Gormley family gain a small comfort from the outpouring of support in Reamonn's name at such a dark time.  More than this, we can hope that the community's reaction to his tragic loss makes the carrying of knives as socially unacceptable as other horrific crimes.

In recent decades society has learned to no longer tolerate many crimes which were accepted by previous generations.  Ensuring knife crime goes the same way would be an equally important tribute to Reamonn's memory.

Very sad news.

The Good Child Foundation does amazing work for children with Downs and helping overcome prejudice. My wife and I try to support them whenever we have a little spare - they captured our hearts whenever we watched this:
