I've been to 7 Scottish National Team games (across various versions) in the last 15 days: 4 wins 1 draw 2 defeats Leaving aside the 2 Hampden defeats, a positive window...

Turned out to be a perfect antidote to a disappointing evening at Hampden last night. 3-0 to a young Scottish team full of energy and pride in the jersey.

An injury time winner for Motherwell. It's the hope that kills you.

Motherwell W v Aberdeen W I must be off my head... It's October and Aberdeen have zero points I really don't like K Park (or the Bumblebee Stadium as it's now apparently called). But anyway, here I am.... COYR!

“With players all heading into the goal, our centre-back tried to avoid a collision by jumping up and swinging on the crossbar – and that’s when it snapped!" Hmmm. Nae sure I'm buying that...

Delighted to find that Concorde Records in Perth is still going strong. Celebrated by buying 8 early 80s compilations - loads of forgotten tracks and some I maybe didn't know in the first place...

We were bizarrely better with 10 men. Olusanya was very effective. He completely disrupted Killie. Thought Marshall did well in ET too. Good team spirit for the last hour. Not convinced we've turned a corner, because we need to be better with 11, but it turned into a very enjoyable evening.

Lost 3-1. No shortage of endeavour, but massively lacking in experience and too many youngsters thrown in the deep end. If we can sign a few players with the right calibre and experience there's still hope... I'm not holding my breath though.

Heading to Spartans to see Aberdeen Women... Massive game. As it stands, even though they beat us at the Balmoral a few weeks ago, Spartans feel like the only team in the league we might be able to finish above.

Went to see Swill (from The Men They Couldn't Hang) and @calumbairdsongs.bsky.social at the Waverley Bar last night. Probably the most enjoyable gig I've been at this year! Small venue, great songs, enthusiastic audience and sound politics.

2-0 up and cruising. 2-3 down and panicking. Billy Dodds with a late goal to complete his hat-trick and take it to ET. 4 goals in ET for Deano. Some team as you say - loads of characters!

Went to a Show Racism The Red Card event at Linlithgow Rose last night. It's a shame it wasn't better attended as it was very interesting / thought provoking. Key takeaway - not being racist isn't enough, you have to actually be anti-racist. #ShowRacismTheRedCard

Another under the radar HES property - Lincluden Collegiate Church. It was more impressive than I expected. Disappointing lack of info on site though. In fact it feels a bit unloved compared to other HES properties in D&G
