Hello computer. Make the game set in Millport. Not Millport now but Millport when I was about 16 in pixel-perfect detail. Some day that, some summer, some laugh...just...tonnes of pals and we'd just all kick about i dont want to be here anymore. i dont want to be here. i want to be there.

Also 'I'm not British, I don't feel British and I don't ever want to be British' is a perfectly legitimate view to have for a person living in the country. They can also feel or be British if they want. The policing of it all is insane.

Weird how beer sales have collapsed since the regularly found £8 pint was introduced.

I'll just get AI to do that as well while I watch Deadwood and eat biscuits.

I told an American that Loch Ness was being renovated so Nessie was moved to Loch Lomond for the summer.

I think that’s enough Angus Gunn. Position is rotten every time.

A Scotland manager that absolutely loves McBurnie. We haven’t planned for this, dunno what to do.

Now we all wait to find out which part of the UK will be covered by this Iron Dome. I reckon they’ll start with Shetland and work their way down.

I know most of my Scottish pals don't have a clue about hockey, but the Pens have got a guy skating for the first time since his faither got killed by a bear. Literally. Can the English Premier League say that?

It’s the Sutton/boydism of Scottish football. It has to be a scandal, a disaster or an incredible winning streak to merit mention. A good sports writer can make you cry over a 0:0. I dunno, they seem to be chasing any eye rather than concentrate on the eyes they have.

John @dabombadil.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
Head sports writer means getting to interview the players on location and having to concoct a narrative to make it seem worth it. Fwiw, I like his writing and analysis but this is creating a story instead of finding one.

I guess Messi ruined football because even at the peak today, nothing compares.

John @dabombadil.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
I think Tierney might retire soon enough. He’s not got it in him to play for both. Can see it being Robbo and Doig as sub for the next two years.

John @dabombadil.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
Robbo has been good. I was thinking that the Poco might look to Doig and Penrice but safe to say Robbo is there until the euros.

John @dabombadil.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
Other than McGinn and Robbo (possibly McKenna and Gunn), this is a very young team. I’m pretty hopeful tbh

Binks is a pler anaw. Very good to have a big work horse in the centre with these two either side.

Oh man, glad I’m not the only one. So many times I thought the play was over.

Just posted on this. Much better to show that than talking about nothing for 5 minutes to kill time. Really refreshing actually.

Absolutely cruising until the equaliser in the 88th minute. Usual stuff.

John @dabombadil.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
Also a big fan of BBC Scotland deciding not to talk about a contentious corner for 13 minutes but instead showing a documentary about a game 30 years ago. Superb stuff.

‘Sacked in the morning, good old podcast that’ Really like Stephen Thompson’s presenting style. He should be the main guy from now on.

It’s either a 3rd choice goalie from Arbroath or the number 1 from the St. Louis Red Sox Cosmos Giants University. Slim pickings

Waiting to hear what the ‘New New New IRA’ have to say. Though we still don’t know where the ‘New New New New IRA’ stand on this issue.
