Rob Connell @robconnell.bsky.social · 20/09/2026With his back to the wall, O'Neill reverts to type. Three centre backs, two wing-backs, three central midfielders, Nygren supporting Duran. 110
Rob Connell @robconnell.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Comparisons between today's black-clad right-wing gangs and Oswald's blackshirts are unfair. The blackshirts were in much better shape. 011
Rob Connell @robconnell.bsky.social · 30/07/2026The usual brilliant work from the AI tool that Google pushes on you even when you don't ask for it. 🙄 111
Rob Connell @robconnell.bsky.social · 27/07/2026I bought FM24, and abandoned it to go back to FM20. Don't tell anyone, but I still play FM13 too. 020
Rob Connell @robconnell.bsky.social · 15/07/2026Good that Downing Street can get back to its real priorities now. 0209
Rob Connell @robconnell.bsky.social · 12/06/2026Just over 2 weeks until I'm off on Camino. Is it too early to be packing? 120
Rob Connell @robconnell.bsky.social · 06/06/2026What if the Celtic board were playing 4D chess all along? Reappointing (heroic) O'Neill would still result in accusations of short-termism, no imagination, no plan. Run a story that you're ready to appoint someone that huge swathes of fans object to. THEN announce O'Neill, to much relief all round. 000
Rob Connell @robconnell.bsky.social · 01/06/2026Google AI tells me Edinburgh, North Lanarkshire, South Lanarkshire & East Renfrewshire are 'SNP controlled'. In fact, each is a run by a Labour-led unionist grand coalition with support from Tories & LibDems. Folks, AI isn't just ruining the planet & stealing all our work. It's shite, too. 161
Rob Connell @robconnell.bsky.social · 16/05/2026Can anyone explain (genuine question) why they were checking if Maeda was offside here, when the ball is played to Osmand? Am I misunderstanding the rule? 120
Rob Connell @robconnell.bsky.social · 14/05/2026When I pointed out that the incident happened with about 10 seconds of the "official" 5 minutes of injury time left, they just plain old denied that this was the truth, and wouldn't be convinced that they should maybe check. 100
Rob Connell @robconnell.bsky.social · 14/05/2026Now, I confess that at first watch I thought there might be an elbow on Trusty, but didn't spot the handball. But now that we've all seen so many angles and replays, it's clear as day that it's a handball. I did concede that I felt Celtic had been lucky to win the game. 100
Rob Connell @robconnell.bsky.social · 06/04/2026Impressive from the BBC here, managing to spell 'Premiership' as Prem-e-i-rship and 'Rangers' as C-e-l-t-i-c. 012
Rob Connell @robconnell.bsky.social · 18/02/2026I've lost track. Do these results demonstrate how far Celtic have fallen or how well we could be doing? 110
Rob Connell @robconnell.bsky.social · 27/01/2026Niche post - any Football Manager fans had 5 different players score a hat-trick in one game before? 👀 020
Rob Connell @robconnell.bsky.social · 25/01/2026The BBC also misled the public in the same way on the Renee Good killing. I complained, and got a pathetic reply, doubling down on the idea that they think they SHOULD be reporting on "conflicting narratives", when the truth is there in video. 000
Rob Connell @robconnell.bsky.social · 08/01/2026You can make a complaint about BBC News at this link, whether you want to point out their consistent denial of genocide, collaboration with the rise of fascism in the US, normalisation of racism in UK politics, or the many other ways they are misleading us every day. www.bbc.co.uk/contact/comp... 056
Rob Connell @robconnell.bsky.social · 05/01/2026Reform, party of billionaires & millionaires but no activists, paid a lot of money to send letters by Royal Mail. You can cost them double by using the reply-paid return envelope they included to try to get your data. I have put mine to good use (see photo) and I encourage everyone to do similarly. 092
Rob Connell @robconnell.bsky.social · 31/12/2025As good a time as to share a reminder of what Keir Starmer "pledged" to get himself elected as Labour leader. Lots of highlights, what's your favourite lie? 585
Rob Connell @robconnell.bsky.social · 12/12/2025Many are pointing out that despite a record stock market, for most people a decent life is becoming unaffordable. One good thing that could come out of the broligarchy's attempts to steal all wealth and power permanently: people might finally realise that 'the economy' we have serves only the rich. 010
Rob Connell @robconnell.bsky.social · 07/12/2025Have Celtic ever fielded an all-left-footed defence before today? Bold from Brother Wilfried to go straight in with the 3-4-3, should be interesting! 110
Rob Connell @robconnell.bsky.social · 15/11/2025Fascinating how pointing out a confluence of interest is so often dismissed as tin-foil hat wearing conspiracy theoretics. I once pointed out that UK media is generally & "biased towards the views of the powerful", & @leaskyd.bsky.social called it "conspiracy theories & misinformed jibber-jabber". 000
Rob Connell @robconnell.bsky.social · 14/11/2025It's appalling when folk wear military regalia they haven't earned. 030
Rob Connell @robconnell.bsky.social · 14/11/2025It would be a tragedy to lose BBC creative media, but left & right accusing BBC news of bias doesn't prove it's balanced. To judge that you'd have to objectively measure its reporting against the truth, & Farage to Gaza it fails. 'Both sides' logic is part of the problem. 171
Rob Connell @robconnell.bsky.social · 28/10/2025I never scroll past this video without watching it a few times. Check: As the punch arrives, the Nazi is still eyeballing the guy and mouthing off. As soon as it's gone through, he's already unconscious. Lights out. Lovely. 061
Rob Connell @robconnell.bsky.social · 13/10/2025So far, these are my two favourite descriptions of AI: 1116
Rob Connell @robconnell.bsky.social · 05/08/2025Once again, all of what he said. Especially this bit. 010
Rob Connell @robconnell.bsky.social · 15/07/2025Still a part of me wanted to believe that Police Scotland would go softly on this plainly draconian proscription. Sadly, if this article is correct, they are actively trying to find ways to increase its scope and criminalise as much activism as possible. For the record: 010
Rob Connell @robconnell.bsky.social · 07/07/2025I do not support Palestine Action A poem in a thread 1/6 110
Rob Connell @robconnell.bsky.social · 20/06/2025Aye mate, you provide material support to a genocide, but it's some paint on a wall that's a disgrace. 031
Rob Connell @robconnell.bsky.social · 25/05/2025Rijeka win the Croatian league ahead of Dinamo Zagreb, which I think puts Celtic in the seeded side of the Champions League play-offs. 261
Rob Connell @robconnell.bsky.social · 18/05/2025This is poor, bhoys. Do better. celtsarehere.com/the-aftermat... 110
Rob Connell @robconnell.bsky.social · 12/05/2025Starmer being derided as a bitter right-wing pub bore by (checks notes) The Times. 082
Rob Connell @robconnell.bsky.social · 08/05/2025Inevitable that US/UK trade deal will be disastrous for the UK. If it didn’t offer to destroy things like UK food standards, healthcare, medicine, consumer & worker rights for US corps to profit from, why else would Trump sign it? Also the death knell for last hope of rejoining EU. US govt graphic: 000
