For about 30 years, Old Firm fans have complained that the lack of a challenge from other clubs in Scotland has impacted their performances in Europe.
They must all be delighted with how this season is going. #SPFL

#Scotland need to bring on McKenna (or even Tierney) at Left Centre Half. Hanley is so limited with his distribution that it's easy for Greece to force him to pass to Robertson who they immediately put under pressure. A left footer in there would help a lot. I'd also bring on Gilmour for Ferguson.

One way traffic at Pittodrie for Aberdeen against Dundee this afternoon. 4-0 but it could, realistically, have been 6 or 7.

This is going to go on like a shit version of Bruce Forsyth's 'Play Your Cards Right'.
So, Nigel, higher or lower than 150,000?

Quite enjoyed today's #SPFL match, Motherwell v Aberdeen. Even if I left after 82 minutes and missed the two injury time goals! First time I've seen either side this season. Motherwell maybe not at their best but v. interesting style of play. Aberdeen just not creating enough.

Like Super Ally, I was expecting Atletico Madrid's goal to get disallowed for offside.
The only reason I can think of is that because Konate tried to block it, he intentionally deflected the ball which automatically brings the Madrid player onside. #LIVATM

Great advert for Scottish football's entertainment value at Easter Road tonight. Hibs 3-3 Dundee Utd.
Goals. Penalties given. Penalty appeals ignored. Goalkeeper howlers at both ends (one example below). Good saves. Red card. Great atmosphere.

I don't think it matters too much if Lyndon Dykes is playing regularly at club level. His performances for Scotland are pretty consistent regardless. He's won loads of high balls and put in a power of work going back the way too. He might blow a gasket soon though. #DenSco

A truly abysmal week of European football for Scottish clubs. But with the SPFL taking decisive measures such as banning artificial surfaces* in the Premiership, good times are surely just around the corner.
*Good enough for 4 or 5 clubs from other countries that have qualified this evening.

I'm hoping that Sky Sports are currently sending a driver to pick up Roy Keane so that he can be in the studio for the full time analysis.

I've been trying Lion's Mane powder in my coffee for a few days. I'm not sure I've seen the benefit yet (I'm still an easily distracted procrastinator) but the main issue is the taste. It's like I've mixed a teaspoonful of fish paste in with my Nespresso pod. 🤢
Maybe tablets are the way forward? 🤷

At Dunfermline v Airdrie today. I'm 2nd row from the back of the Main Stand and it's blowing a gale up here so it must be a nightmare on the pitch.
Halftime and Dunfermline scored two goals in the last few minutes. John Tod scored a Goal of the Season contender then his brother Andy got the 2nd.

I know they’re a pair of plums and you can criticise the pricing etc.
But 2 hrs of anthems giving us a reminder of simpler times was worth it.
Felt emotional standing next to my 17 y/o daughter, the same age I was when I saw them in 1995 in a marquee with 6000 others.

Two very impressive results away from home in Europe from Hibs and Dundee Utd.
United got the rewards for staying organised when under pressure.
Hopefully both clubs do the job in their home legs next week. 🤞🏼

I think it's fair to say that's the worst penalty shootout I've ever seen.

I've become a newbie to the world of gluten-free foods over the last few weeks. Why is there so much excessive packaging, particularly on sweet snacks, biscuits etc?

Should standing on a stage in front of thousands, calling for the death of people be encouraged? Probably not.
Is it worse than killing babies?
It's usually the same people & media that make some very questionable decisions as to which hill they choose to die on.
