Two bloody hours to drive home from Edinburgh - normally around an hour and a quarter. So many people out there should be made to resit their driving test.

Nine albums that influenced my music tastes growing up. Still listen to all of them now.

30 years ago I was lucky enough to be at this gig. Queued for hours through the night to get a ticket. Totally worth it!

Well, that’s the heating on. Need to dig out the winter duvet as well, shortly.

Decent performance from Scotland in the second half but really should’ve won. Some very poor refereeing decisions that broke our momentum didn’t help at all.

Good players play bad when badly coached. Bad players play worse. Celtic currently have more bad players than good, but we’ll never get a tune out of any of them as long as they continue to be badly coached.

Calum McGregor has been holding this team back for a couple of seasons now. He’s done. He has to be dropped. Only ever wants to go back the way. Rest of the team are scared to disobey him. O’Neill needs to go and we need a manager with fresh, modern ideas and who isn’t beholden to the norm.

How can anybody in the coaching team at Celtic possibly think Tounekti is in any way capable of playing in this fixture? Literally any fan could have told them before the game that he has the heart of a mouse. I just don’t understand how he’s been picked.

Well, so much for going to see Stevie Wonder - only tickets left in the presale are for ridiculous money. For that kind of money he can feckin’ well come and do a show in my living room.

In my experience, when a guilty person is accused the first thing they tend to do is to try and discredit those making the accusations.

Celtic were woeful tonight. Just pathetic. We need an entire back four signed, along with a couple of midfielders and a winger. If Nygren doesn’t score he is worse than a man down. McCowan IS that man down. Tounekti couldn’t beat a drum.

I need to accept that I have a serious secondhand-cd-buying problem. I can’t help myself. That’s another 13 bought at a record fair today after buying the same amount in a charity shop through the week. I’ve long since run out of space on my shelves.

Guy in front of me at the cinema was sat bolt-upright for the duration of the film, meaning I couldn’t recline my seat, otherwise his head blocked my view. Infuriating.

Well, the right team won. Played Argentina off the pitch today. Shame for Messi - stuck in a team filled with cloggers and divers.

For the love of all that is holy, please don’t let the USA ever host a World Cup final again. None of this showbiz bollocks belongs at the football. Just get on with the game, ffs.

Isn’t it baffling how Celtic are the only club in the world that is unable to sign players due to English teams, and players’ agents being hard to deal with? It’s almost as if the problem is Celtic themselves…

Genuinely didn’t realise the ball had gone in there. The commentators were silent.

Americans three days ago: “I have an opinion about the interpretation and enforcement of this rule that has been in place for decades, that I had never heard of before yesterday, in a sport I didn’t care about until last week.” Americans today: “I don’t care about soccer.”

Today would have been my dad’s 91st birthday. He’s been gone over 19 years now, but when I think of him it’s never with sadness. He was forever doing his best to make everyone around him smile. He never got to meet my children but everything good I ever learned about being a dad came from him. ❤️

Went into this match not really bothered who won, but the pathetic antics of the Paraguayan players have me rooting for France.

Stuck in an absolute nightmare of a pub - terrible music blasting at deafening levels, karaoke, a drunken eejit careening around the room trying to get others dancing. If my daughter wasn’t working behind the bar and my nephew on his way to watch the footy with me, I’d be out the door like a shot.

My wonderful wife got me this book as an early Father’s Day gift. It’s bringing back lots of happy memories of collecting football stickers as I grew up.

Very good performance from Scotland tonight. Bolivia didn’t offer much but you can’t take away from how composed, comfortable and positive Scotland’s play was. Let’s hope we can keep it up next week.

Online surveys are wild. Keep getting asked how adverts make me feel about a brand or product. Why isn’t ’annoyed at having to sit through an advert’ an option? For the record, I couldn’t give less of a shit about adverts. Avoid them when I can, pay them no heed when I can’t.

Towards the end of last year, I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. I was overweight - 90kg. Ideal weight for my height is 74kg. I was given a target of losing 5kg in 6 months. Today, six months later, I weigh 74kg. It’s amazing what you can do, when you’re sufficiently motivated.

Can’t believe Celtic won a double this season! Worst we’ve been in years and we still finished with two trophies. Martin O’Neill is a miracle worker.

One Scotland game on ITV and it will have an English commentator. Is it really unreasonable to expect a Scottish commentator for a Scotland game?

Personally I think Scottish referees are just absolutely hopeless. Any other profession that made as many mistakes as they do would handed a P45. Hanlon’s Razor applies.

Another good episode of SNL UK tonight. Particularly enjoyed the Attenborough sketch. Hannah Waddingham was her usual brilliant self, and a lovely wee cameo from Peter Serafinowicz.
