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

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.

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.

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.

Hearts v St Johnstone at Tynecastle. I've seen more of Saints in the last 10 days than I have in the last 10 years. They've looked quite bright and a little unlucky to be 2-0 down. Hearts maybe playing a bit within themselves with nothing to play for. #ScottishFootball

At St Johnstone v Kilmarnock today. Saints look doomed. Barely laid a glove on Kilmarnock. Just heard Valakari on the radio saying "the fight continues". They didn't show any fight today. They play football in the wrong places on a terrible pitch.

Waited an hour for a shot on target in the Raith v Ayr game. Then this happened. 🚀

The interim Rangers management team have a quick huddle at 2-0 down to mastermind their comeback.

At East End Park for Dunfermline v Queen's Park in SPFL Championship. 1st time I've seen D'line under Tidser & they've got a definite style of play unlike earlier in the season. Unfortunately, based on the boos, it looks like a lot of fans don't have the patience for football played thru the thirds.

Dunfermline v Falkirk in the SPFL Championship tonight and Raith v Livingston tomorrow. I'm sure there's a few unemployed managers going to the same two games to get their faces spotted.

I was at Airdrie 0 - 2 Partick Thistle today in SPFL Championship.
Partick definitely the better side and deserved the win but Airdrie were a lot better than I've seen them this season. Probably no coincidence that Rhys McCabe was back in their side.

I was at Starks Park for the Fife Derby today. Not a great game. Neither keeper was overworked but Raith deserved the 3 points.

Lots of stadiums could be described as having a football pitch with a running track round it.
Central Park is definitely a Stock Car track with a football pitch in the middle.
I remember watching Cowdenbeath v Brechin 20-ish years ago & this ground was full. Not today!

The notepad and I were at Raith 2 - 3 Morton today. Morton scored an injury-time winner when it looked like they were doing everything they could to slow the game down and hold onto a point. This was their 2nd goal.

To make up for the lack of Temu adverts on here, here's another gig photo. Embrace at The Barrowlands last night. A lot of sweaty, middle-agers jumping around and singing!

Whilst I'm mostly here to talk / read about football, I was at the Marcus King gig at the Barrowlands in Glasgow last night. So, my first post on here can be a photo from there. You're welcome! 😄
