Dunfermline performance is night and day compared to their giant killing in the last round. Kelty playing a deep, compact 4-4-2. Dunfermline can't find space to play through and are moving the ball far too slowly to go around them. 0-0 h/t.

So, this Tom Homan guy..... I might be British, but I've watched enough American TV and films to understand most US accents. I don't understand about 50% of what he's saying.

Finished 1-1 after extra time. Kelty won 5-3 on penalties. An injury time winner to cause a cup upset and then a penalty shootout. Not a bad day at the office.

Game 2 of the day. Kelty v Cove, also in the Scottish Cup. Currently 1-0 to the visitors after 10 minutes of the 2nd half.

Dunfermline 1-0 Hibs. A cup upset for game 1 of today. Not a smash and grab either. Dunfermline were the better side for large periods.

#SPFL Championship for me today. Arbroath 2-0 up at Half Time away at Raith Rovers. The natives are restless......

Today's office. Looking forward to Aberdeen v Dundee United. Have a feeling it's going to be good.

Great to see VAR ruining football across the globe. VAR referees should be incentivised to get involved in games as little as possible.

I hope Martin O'Neil hasn't got rid of his training gear......

Game 1 of today was Livingston 2-2 Dundee. Clichéd game of two halves. Dundee's fragile confidence in evidence as they give up a 2-goal lead in the 2nd half. Now to Falkirk v Hearts......🚗

Scotland's ideal #WorldCup draw will be USA, Iran and Haiti. ICE agents will have the entire squads of Iran and Haiti locked up in a detention centre by the time we have to play them. A couple of 3-0 walkovers and it won't even matter how we do against the US.

Starsailor at The Barrowlands in Glasgow tonight. Absolute sing-along-athon for a couple of hours.

This is crazy, I know. But just imagine that there was someone at the head of #FIFA that wasn't a corrupt, Trump sycophant. Someone who genuinely made decisions based on what was fair, and best for the game. Elite level football is just like WWE now. It's a sham.

Scotland football fans will now need to get some practice of watching games in the middle of the night. Jamaica v Curacao kicks off at 1am for those that want to start early.

Halftime should just be 15 minutes of replays of McTominay's goal. No chatting required.

You know what.....

Amazing to see that as soon as they're not dominating, the Old Firm combust. #SPFL

For about 30 years, Old Firm fans have complained that the lack of a challenge from other clubs in Scotland has impacted their performances in Europe. They must all be delighted with how this season is going. #SPFL

#Scotland are having so much good fortune in this qualifying campaign I think our name is on the trophy for next year! 😂

This humble, selfless reaction is a great example of what a real leader sounds like. “There is no limit to what can be accomplished when no one cares who gets the credit.” ~ John Wooden

Football. Bloody hell.

#Scotland need to bring on McKenna (or even Tierney) at Left Centre Half. Hanley is so limited with his distribution that it's easy for Greece to force him to pass to Robertson who they immediately put under pressure. A left footer in there would help a lot. I'd also bring on Gilmour for Ferguson.

One way traffic at Pittodrie for Aberdeen against Dundee this afternoon. 4-0 but it could, realistically, have been 6 or 7. #SPFL #Premiership

This is going to go on like a shit version of Bruce Forsyth's 'Play Your Cards Right'. So, Nigel, higher or lower than 150,000?

Quite enjoyed today's #SPFL match, Motherwell v Aberdeen. Even if I left after 82 minutes and missed the two injury time goals! First time I've seen either side this season. Motherwell maybe not at their best but v. interesting style of play. Aberdeen just not creating enough.

Like Super Ally, I was expecting Atletico Madrid's goal to get disallowed for offside. The only reason I can think of is that because Konate tried to block it, he intentionally deflected the ball which automatically brings the Madrid player onside. #LIVATM

Great advert for Scottish football's entertainment value at Easter Road tonight. Hibs 3-3 Dundee Utd. Goals. Penalties given. Penalty appeals ignored. Goalkeeper howlers at both ends (one example below). Good saves. Red card. Great atmosphere.

Lovely composed finish by Price but Germany's defending was woeful. #GerNI

I don't think it matters too much if Lyndon Dykes is playing regularly at club level. His performances for Scotland are pretty consistent regardless. He's won loads of high balls and put in a power of work going back the way too. He might blow a gasket soon though. #DenSco

A truly abysmal week of European football for Scottish clubs. But with the SPFL taking decisive measures such as banning artificial surfaces* in the Premiership, good times are surely just around the corner. *Good enough for 4 or 5 clubs from other countries that have qualified this evening.

Russell Martin sees Ruben Amorim at the Job Centre tomorrow morning.

I'm hoping that Sky Sports are currently sending a driver to pick up Roy Keane so that he can be in the studio for the full time analysis.

The lengths those of us with sweet blood need to go to to keep the midges away.

I've been trying Lion's Mane powder in my coffee for a few days. I'm not sure I've seen the benefit yet (I'm still an easily distracted procrastinator) but the main issue is the taste. It's like I've mixed a teaspoonful of fish paste in with my Nespresso pod. 🤢 Maybe tablets are the way forward? 🤷

At Dunfermline v Airdrie today. I'm 2nd row from the back of the Main Stand and it's blowing a gale up here so it must be a nightmare on the pitch. Halftime and Dunfermline scored two goals in the last few minutes. John Tod scored a Goal of the Season contender then his brother Andy got the 2nd.

I know they’re a pair of plums and you can criticise the pricing etc. But 2 hrs of anthems giving us a reminder of simpler times was worth it. Felt emotional standing next to my 17 y/o daughter, the same age I was when I saw them in 1995 in a marquee with 6000 others. #Oasis #Edinburgh

Two very impressive results away from home in Europe from Hibs and Dundee Utd. United got the rewards for staying organised when under pressure. Hopefully both clubs do the job in their home legs next week. 🤞🏼 'Mon the #SPFL 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[sarcasm]What a shame.[/sarcasm] metro.co.uk/2025/08/06/m...

I think it's fair to say that's the worst penalty shootout I've ever seen.

I've become a newbie to the world of gluten-free foods over the last few weeks. Why is there so much excessive packaging, particularly on sweet snacks, biscuits etc?

Should standing on a stage in front of thousands, calling for the death of people be encouraged? Probably not. Is it worse than killing babies? It's usually the same people & media that make some very questionable decisions as to which hill they choose to die on.

Lee Dixon has a brass neck arguing that Colwill's handball wasn't intentional. He had an unobstructed view of the flight of the ball and was quite happy for it to hit his arm.

I had Sky News on in the background while working. They're broadcasting a live news conference with Trump. F#ck me, he's unbearable. I felt myself losing brain cells while listening to him so I've had to switch it off.

I'm just a Grand Slam tennis fan only so not an aficionado. But what a match that was. Absolute elite level sport is brilliant to watch. And, football commentators take note. The commentator in Paris didn't say a word for the first 6 points of the tie break. He just let the pictures do the job.

Size-wise Iceland is tiny. Scotland would've really struggled if they'd played against Asda or Tesco.

Playing the Ally McCoist Drinking Game. A shot whenever he repeats himself or says the word "really". I'm going to get very drunk, Fletch. Very drunk. I really am.

Aberdeen's season started amazingly and finished amazingly with world-class mediocrity in the middle. What a rollercoaster for them.

Listening to Sportsound on Radio Scotland tonight. Certainly seemed a bit of a Livingston love-in and Brian McLaughlin's pre and post-match interviews with Don Cowie seemed to be borderline antagonistic.

Hearts v St Johnstone at Tynecastle. I've seen more of Saints in the last 10 days than I have in the last 10 years. They've looked quite bright and a little unlucky to be 2-0 down. Hearts maybe playing a bit within themselves with nothing to play for. #ScottishFootball
