All caught up on Dynamite, what a very beautiful & utterly heartbreaking tribute to Ben. Hard shift as a UK fan, watching in the morning before work. RIP. #AEW

I felt such a personal connection with PAC, his style, his intensity, his humour. A mindboggling talent. He was also, by all accounts, a lovely man. 40 yrs old. This hits so hard, I'm devastated. RIP you glorious bastard.

Saturday shift before going to see the mighty Judas Priest on Monday. Gonna get in the zone by playing their entire discography (chronological order) thru the shift. Don't know if 9 hours will fit it all in but see how we go.

Fucking hopeless. Think there may have been the first hint of stubbornness being a problem for WV - waited until Milne had sold the jerseys before hooking him. Weak link all game. That's probably it for Dhanda too, he's got skill but just so happy to hide himself when the game's hard work.

Been a long day at work so I didn't get the chance to post how unbelievably horny it is to get Rudi back in a Hearts shirt for the Tennents Sixes. Said to the Mrs there's only one guy they could bring in to trump this, & that's when I realised - ROBBO FOR MANAGER MAKE IT FUCKIN HAPPEN.

Something I love about JJ's assist for the 3rd - he's missed a sitter, knows it. Not only picks himself up to get back in a good position, but is aware & selfless enough to not go for goal but knock it across. Brave & smart.

Always an uncomfortable watch to see a player badly out of his depth. Magnusson's got many qualities, but he doesn't have the range of passing to play the Renaud/Spittal QB role. He knows it, and it's got him spooked.

They've tried so hard to push the 'Hibernian' brand over the last few years - but a Hibsing will always be a Hibsing. It's your destiny. Deal with it.

😍 A historic night for Heart of Midlothian Football Club as they qualify for the UEFA Conference League. Down to 10 men, away from home, over 120 minutes, and against UEFA’s 74th-ranked team. For perspective, Celtic’s collapse was against LASK, ranked 99th. That’s how it’s done. Heroes.

Stunning goal. Not just the finish, the whole move was outstanding. Could do with a few players still being able to walk for the second period though.

Btw, how bad is our luck with injuries?! Looks like a serious one for Renaud, who's clearly key to our midfield plan & style of play.

Sam Kemmer @samkemmer.bsky.social · 26/08/2026
Wouldn't be fair to say we've been shite, but certainly outplayed by a strong side for most of the half. Still in it though.

I absolutely love this that someone just posted on linkedin clearly created by AI without even rudimentary checking. Surrey appears to be trying to escape to France. Staffordshire and Oxfordshire have annexed Wales. And Labour are very strong in the county of "Monthiste". Which has never existed.

Really excited to see the Renaud-Mags-Guendouz combination in action. Concerning that Wilson still can't get a start, kinda suggests something isn't right behind the scenes.

Are Fringe audiences getting even worse? Saw the excellent Mike Wozniak put on an utterly charming show last night, only slightly let down by a pretty lifeless crowd. I know it's half ten on a Sunday guys, but try and give the guy *something*.

Thanks to the ticket exchange and a Sunday kick off, I can actually make a rare trip to Tynecastle today. Would be nice if we'd picked just one specialist defender who can actually, y'know, DEFEND, but looking forward to the chaos regardless.

Look, there’s a lot to dispute here, but I am quite concerned that JK Rowling appears to think “pantomime” and “crow’s” are adjectives.
LittleFurnace on Twitter: Trans is an adjective, you donkey. Adjectives come before nouns. For example "pathetic woman", "soulless billionaire", or "walking
scrotum". You would know that if you weren't a fucking terrible writer.

JK Rowling in reply: A pantomine horse isn't a horse.
An open secret isn't a secret.
A hot dog isn't a dog.
A shrinking violet isn't a violet.
Crow's feet aren't feet.
Fair game's not a game.
Trans women aren't women.

Seriously, Agnostic fuckin Front, man... Feels like angry music has hardly been more vital at any other point in my life. 'Crucified' was one of the 1st songs I played with a garage band 30+yrs ago - and they're still playing wee rooms NO COMPROMISE and inspiring this old guy to go fuckin mental

This is the thing - sometimes VAR is not only correct, it's absolutely essential. Without its intervention, and with that referee, who knows how this game would have finished.

In his final test innings, Stokes puts his ego & value in his own mythology ahead of the needs of his team. No denying his talent, commitment & incredible moments over the years, but his many flaws as a leader shouldn't be ignored.

My strongest memory of Starmer will be his 2024 conference speech, where he said "every child deserves respect", a young activist said "does that include the children of Gaza?", and he laughed and said "he's obviously got a pass to the 2019 conference".

Ask anyone close to me, I've been 100% consistent in this last season - I give full credit to McInness for what he achieved, but I never took to the guy. Shite brand of football & seemed a bit of a prick. Had a strange habit of taking against certain players without obvious reason (Wilson, Borch)
