🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Are We Better Together Yet? @bottertogether.bsky.social · 17h

As one proud United Kingdom, we have achieved great things together. Now Swinney wants to throw our centuries of shared history in the bin? Ludicrous. Now is not the time.

Backbench Tory MP Sir Charles Walker holds a bottle of milk and screams during a surreal Channel 4 interview. This was possibly something to do with Boris Johnson breaking his own lockdown laws to hold weekly illegal parties, or maybe something to do with Brexit. It all melded into one giant mess really.

On streets that hold no love
The need to be far from the crowded river

Once every 10 years I try and get a dodgy stream of something, and tried tonight with no luck. They seem to have bad luck with refs though. They were raging about the 2-2 draw with Bahrain, namely for playing infinite stoppage time until Bahrain equalised.

FlashScore: Bahrain equalise in the 99th minute(!) against Indonesia in the third stage of World Cup qualifying last year.

We all need to get behind Iraq to make history and reach the World Cup on Tuesday, for a number of reasons but mainly so this guy can make it to the grandest stage of all.

FlashScore: Iraq have a 25-yr-old striker simply called “Meme”.

Oh well, that’ll be that then. 😖

There’s an argument that the squad is now largely a Dutch B team with very distant family links. But still, the thought of living in this house for the build-up to Scotland vs. Indonesia at the actual World Cup was tantalising.

FlashScore: Iraq have taken the lead against Indonesia in World Cup qualifying, which would knock out the Garudas at the fourth stage.

Interesting times ahead, if you’re like me and you basically live for podcasts / phone-ins where exasperated Glaswegian men squeal about The Teddy Bears.

A Rangers fan (whose identity I have protected out of respect in this difficult time) speculated yesterday that runaway odds-on favourite Steven Gerrard might not actually return to the manager’s hotseat:

“Quite a few people are going to look pretty silly if it ends up not being Gerrard”

Glasgow Rangers Chat replies:
“Not least the owners”

The person responds:
“Don't know about that, it’s not Gerrard or bust.
If it is Gerrard and it doesn't work out, who's to blame then?”

Glasgow Rangers Chat replies:
“I mean more in terms of in the eyes of the fans - The owners have lost control of the media narrative if they're not going for Gerrard and the new guy (if it's not Gerrard) is set up for a fall from the start”

'Verrassende wending: Gerrard zegt 'nee' tegen terugkeer ondanks naderend akkoord'

Steven Gerrard wordt niet de nieuwe manager van Rangers FC. Dat meldt journalist Ben Jacobs zaterdagavond. De oud-middenvelder heeft zich zelf teruggetrokken uit de onderhandelingen met zijn oude club, omdat hij de tijd nog niet rijp acht om terug te keren.

I'll give you one last chance. Did you insinuate in the comments section of the Plymouth Herald that Tom Jones is a paedophile?

In the extra analysis from Hampden on Thursday night (BBC Scotland, c. 10:02pm), Neil McCann claimed that Lyndon Dykes was pointing at the punditry team in his goal celebration.

Don’t like this: breaking the 4th wall. In 1999 Solskjær didn’t run into the stand to be mobbed by Tyldesley & Big Ron.
