Nothing like some furious D&B to carry you through job applications. 30 years ago I thought this was all a bit cheesy. Compared to nowadays, not so much. Anybody need a python developer? You can pay me in beef hula hoops and irn bru.

Things I have realised while driving 260 miles today: ...And Justice For All remains a great album. Seasons of Your Day is my 2nd favourite Mazzy Star album and it pushes So Tonight... pretty hard. Silent Shout by The Knife is extraordinary.

I recently celebrated a birthday and now that I'm well into my early 50s I've decided that I should learn to weld.

A lot of people will no doubt think calls for MON to go are knee jerk but despite the initial league wins, I've not seen universal praise. Quite the opposite in fact. The general feeling I've seen is that we've mostly struggled across the line in a continuation of the end of last season.

Can anybody name me 1 thing that McGregor is bringing to the team? Not the thing that outweighs the bad passes and giving the ball away. Just 1 thing. Any thing.

Can Baur only kick it as far as the near post?

Adrian Burns @lightingmonkey.bsky.social · 17/09/2026
We look defeated. That would never be the case with MON v1 but it masked tactical issues. If he's not bringing that to v2, then I have real doubts about success this season.

I have a meeting later, which is fine. Except for the need to dress like an adult, which doesn't come naturally to me.

There was a time when I probably could have reeled out about 90% of the Rocky Horror script including add ons without even having to think to hard. What a crappy couple of days.

If we'd promised the squad 25% of CL profit as a bonus pot, do you think we might be in it?

On the one hand lots of knee jerk reactions. On the other hand when you're reacting to the same thing year after year is it really knee jerk?

Adrian Burns @lightingmonkey.bsky.social · 25/08/2026
Here's the thing. We start with an attack minded team, and it's going ok-ish but we try and go defensive. It never works. I don't think I've ever seen it be successful in 30 odd years of watching us. Whether it's cause we never need to domestically I don't know but we just can't do it.

That should be McCowan's last appearance in a Celtic shirt.

Every day Vince sits staring out the window waiting for the dog walker, getting excited every time someone approaches. She only comes three days a week though. No wonder he's always got sadness in his eyes.
Vince about the experience the disappointment of realising it's not a dog walker day and he won't see his doggy pals.

I'm supposed to be going to Optimo tonight but this is the part of the evening where all I want to do is stretch out on the couch. The struggle is real.

I'd have thought that after growing up in the age of always connected instant messages that teenagers would be able to exchange the most basic details of a night out but apparently not.

LASK is not the easiest draw we could have got. AJ now strongly rumoured to Everton and is a bigger loss than Engels. Given we didn't strongly pursue either of our two on loan full backs, it really does make me wonder if MON is going 3 at the back. KT, CCV and Trusty with Scales, Murray as cover.

Ticket sales are absolute bullshit now. I was logged in pressed all the buttons as fast as I could. Missed tier 1 price, got the next. Event was sold out by the time I'd checked out, 1 minute after going on sale.

Today at the dump I retrieved a Roland JV-80 synth, working but needs cleaned up and a Roland KC-350 amp which needs a new power cord before I can test it but looks in good condition. Love free stuff.
