Caledonia’s Auntie Cissy-Jay

Genuinely pleased for #HarryKane to have won the big ball…a proper centre-forward who produces his best time & time again at the highest levels of football. All banter aside (we know England are a better team, but rivalry is what makes football the finest on the planet), good on him! #Ballond’Or

As must a read as it gets!

More than just a book repository.

#Scotland shake off the collective torpor & decide to turn up with 15mins to go. Too little, too late! A well organised, robust & motivated #Slovenia well worth their first ever win against the Scots. As for Scotland, the drawing board beckons…again! FT: #Sco 1-2 #Svn #UEFA #NationsLeague

Can’t say it hasn’t been coming. #Sturm easily bursts through a hesitant, pedestrian #Scotland defence to fire #Slovenia into a deserved lead. #Sco 1-2 #Svn (71mins) #UEFA #NationsLeague

#Matko restores parity frankly just what #Slovenia deserve in this increasingly tedious low-tempo affair. #Scotland bereft of any urgency, Slovenia now very much in the ascendancy as SebPog introduces #KeironBowie & #AaronHickey on 65mins for #McBurnie & #Welsh #Sco 1-1 #Svn #UEFA #NationsLeague

Not exactly edge-of-the-seat stuff but 1-0 #Scotland a fair reflection of the half. #Hampden very subdued, clearly anticipating the spark to terrify #Slovenia’s defence. Pie & Bovril time for me… HT: #Sco 1-0 #Svn #UEFA #NationsLeague

#RyanChristie with a cheeky wee backheeled dink takes #Scotland into the lead on 32mins after a pinball-esque mini-stramash on the #Slovenia goal-line. #Sco 1-0 #Svn (35mins) #UEFA #NationsLeague

Halfway through 1st half & #Scotland haven’t had a player sent-off…which is nice! #Slovenia showing more intent so far. Not too sure of SebPog’s thinking in starting #JackHendry after suspension while dropping #KeironBowie who was a starman v #NorthMacedonia. #Sco 0-0 #Svn #UEFA #NationsLeague

Too good not to share… 🦇🤣

After a painfully long #VAR check to confirm a blatant handball by Macedonia’s #BojanMiovski on the line, Super #JohnMcGinn dispatches the resultant spot-kick to double #Scotland’s deserved lead on 70mins. #MKD 0-2 #Sco #UEFA #NationsLeague

#Fife’s finest, #KieronBowie becomes #Scotland’s Starman in 8mins v #NorthMacedonia #MKD 0-1 #Sco #UEFA #NationsLeague

Excellent result & an outstanding performance to a man. No little tactical nous, well executed game plan…and they made it all about #Wales. #Norway nullified, Erling who? Brilliant #Bellamy, Wonderful Wales. I suspect your fathers are well pleased. FT: #Wal 2-1 #Nor #UEFA #NationsLeague

Not content with being lacklustre, #Norway’s #Heggem decides to spice things up by committing a professional foul within a minute of the restart. Red card for him and #Wales take a deserved lead through the resultant free-kick perfectly executed by #NicoWilliams #Wal 2-1 #Norway #UEFA #NationsLeagu

After an ominous looking start and going 1 down to #WorldCup conquerors of Brazil, #Norway, #Wales dig in & find parity through #DanJames on 38mins. #Haaland little more than an interested spectator, while overall Wales the better team. HT: #Wal 1-1 #Nor #UEFA #NationsLeague

While it’s universally recognised that ‘Flower of Scotland’ is the finest National Anthem to behold when it comes to international sporting events (mainly football & rugby union), however, in fairness “Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau" (“Land of My Fathers") is a close 2nd. #Wales v #Norway #UEFA #NationsLeague

And just like that, a new innovative position for a basketball team is born…

Right then Gaffer, let’s see how well your magic wand works…a baptism of fire for #SébastienPocognoli’s new look #Scotland at #Hampden, put to the sword by a #Switzerland team calibrated as efficiently as its eponymous clocks… #Sco 0-3 #Sui #UEFA #NationsLeague

A comedy of calamity within 10mins at #Hampden. #JackHendry makes an utter arse of, well, everything…red card for a ‘pro foul’, #Switzerland 1 up from the resultant free-kick. If you ‘take one for the team’ like that, you don’t do it early doors. Fuckin erse! #Sco 0-1 #Sui (10mins) #NationsLeague

Dusting down the Fairy-Tale Anthology (Grifting Fascist Sovrinnity Version) for a few months meditation as the con goes on…poor wee (alleged) attempted murderer, doing the work of super-sky-daddy & son! Must think we’re all god-bothering simpletons that zip up the back Merry Crimbo Dannyboy.

As she says…

In today’s edition of The Daily Obvious another headline that passes the ‘duh!’ test!

#Spain march on to their 39th competitive game unbeaten since a 2-0 defeat to #Scotland in March 2023. Lots to please the #England faithful though, with #JudeBellingham the pick of the bunch, the overall defensive performance however, needs tons of work. FT: #Eng 2-3 #Esp #UEFA #NationsLeague

#England supremo #ThomasTuchel makes several tactical substitutions that take almost immediate effect as #Oyarzabal fires #Spain into the lead once again. #Eng 2-3 #Esp (75mins) #UEFA #NationsLeague

After a quick half-time masterclass from #England penalty-box possession coach #TomDaley, #Bellingham wins a soft penalty, only to see #Kane double tap it & concede a free-kick 😆. England defenders still on holidays hand #Spain a chance to restore parity #Eng 2-2 #Esp (66mins) #UEFA #NationsLeague

With the #England defence still on their holidays, captain #HarryKane (via a half asleep #MarcCucurella) & #LaLiga new boy #AnthonyGordon decide to sort things out before the half… Game on at #Wembley #Eng 2-1 #Esp #UEFA #NationsLeague

What on earth is going on with the #England defence? Lucky to be only 1 down after half an hour… And #ITVSport’s Lee Dixon’s banging on about Gazza…🙄 #Eng 0-1 #Esp #UEFA #NationsLeague

By the power of sheer serendipity, a copy of the recent adaptation of @stephenking.bsky.social Bachman The Long Walk starring the highly rated @markhamillofficial.bsky.social dropped into my hands less than an hour ago from a local wee free library. I shall now be unavailable for the weekend!

Wee bit of a knee-jerk from #HibernianFC methinks, this just makes me feel sad. Hope he bounces back sooner rather than later. Thanks for some wonderful memories Mr Gray. (50p says Steve Clarke as his replacement…)

#Politicians being Kakistocratic Politicians in plain sight! “Eighteen #Democrats vote to block #Trump #Impeachment Articles From Coming to House Floor” #Carlin in Action www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/house/4...

This Talarico twat may well be a polished operator in a sharp suit and shiny shoes when it comes to PR. However, he’s just another god-bothering, bigoted superstitious grifter like all the rest. FFS Americans, raise the fucking bar!

Although it pains me to say so, those goals were straight from the top drawer and well worthy of a semi-final victory. #Rangers v #Celtic #ScottishLeagueCup #PremierSportsCup

Worst rendition of the Haka ever…

The spirit of our dear departed Janey Godley is in Doonbeg, Co Clare, Ireland today.

Can’t be arsed going Ground Zero cos he’s not allowed to be The Main Character… I give you: Dozy Don; The Star Spangled Fat Lazy Ignorant Cunt!

Pretty much says it all. Fuckwits!

A wee dream to capture the imagination…pass it on!

IN PLAIN SIGHT #Trump #JimmySavile #Dallas #Texas #GOP #MidtermConvention

Too good!

It’s the Nazi Fuckwit Party Conflab thingy, those #Reform cunts that bang on about ‘protecting are wimmin an gells from mooslamic ray-guns’…

Irrespective of the level, no team should go on to lose a football match/tie after being 4 goals up with an hour (of regulation time) to play. That’s a proper sore one for #CelticFC v #Lask who did the job professionally despite being nothing special. #UCL #PlayOff

Sometimes the truth is painful, but when it is it needs to be addressed. Both in the short and long terms. This isn’t a gratuitous dig…believe it or not, there are folks around the world who give a fuck about their fellow men & women! ‘You The People’ are so much better than this…time to prove it!

When senile old bastards do endorsements…the hits just keep on coming! What The Actual Fuck???

Shandwick Place, Edinburgh; 5:35pm 11/08/26. #NUFC bus crawling through the #EdinburghFestival gridlock, all dressed up with nowhere to go! “I said Gallowgate, no the f’kin Canongate….Gallowgate! Nae difference for fuck’s sake. Twat!”

Why do so many people misrepresent the acronym #UEFA (Union of European Football Associations) as EUFA?

This has aged rather well: “In just over three years, this organisation went from being toxic, almost criminal, to being what it should be: an institution that develops #football…” Gianni Infantino on being returned as #FIFA president, June 2019.

Not really one to be moved by most ‘celebrities’ passing but this guy is one of the few exceptions. A vital cog in The Sopranos’ wheel who was just a big pussycat! RIP Vincent Pastore

Well I’m convinced…

If you’re having a bit of a shit day, worry not. At least you’re not as utterly tragic as someone who is absolutely not me, nope, not at all, watching #AndyMurray and #JamieMurray playing tennis with frying pans, chopping boards, dustbin lids, their mum’s book & other ridiculous objects…#FML 🤣

#CommonwealthGames #OpeningCeremony #Hydro #Glasgow Naw! Naw! And thrice… …Naw!
