Sad news.

Another struggle of a run, too low energy. youtu.be/nouEbzSoXRM?...

35 seconds quicker than last week and back within a minute of this year's pre Covid and knee injury times. youtu.be/I-3fmjjk4aA?...

Schmeichel is not doing Celtic or himself any favours. His distribution is terrible and he is incredibly weak and slow at corners.

Sunday morning run and it felt like a real toil. Knee almost fine but no energy. youtu.be/XlrlearApkA?...

Celtic fans were ‘treated’ to a hilarious performance from new referee Duncan Nicolson last night. Another on the conveyor belt of shite. This decision was a personal highlight 🤦🏻‍♀️😢😢

Remember me 😂 Still been working away... Wee festive REBS decorations, made completely from recycled cardboard & paper ♻️

Crocker got his old firms in early but it wasn't enough to stop Celtic taking a 2 - 0 lead into the second half.

Apart from the these accusations I would be interested to know on what basis is someone who fought for Brexit living in France? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Cold, damp and gloved morning run. A few more seconds clawed back. This cover of a sublime Nick Cave song. Each of the Felice brothers have that uncanny tone in their voice that captures the lived experiences of generations; real folk. youtu.be/hZEqvR9WY_4?...

Crocker gutted 🤣

Morning run and after the cold snap it's turning relatively mild again. Wet streets but no rain. My knee less sore, and 30 seconds quicker than last week. youtu.be/J3sqZUMgcX4?...

On Nigel Farage's racism, of course it is possible that someone can believe one thing when they're a teenager and something completely different when they're an adult. But where is the evidence that has happened in this case? Instead all of the evidence points in the complete opposite direction

Kieran Tierney Most of all in last night's match I was just most happy & proud for Tierney who really has been thru hell with his injuries. What a timeless goal and it was no fluke, he did that only last week too... Just hoping his rehabilitation continues on the right road. 🍀 #CelticFC

6 weeks since my last morning run after Covid then a knee injury. 3 minutes lost. My lungs have still have a decent 5 km in them, my right knee not so much. Better than a killing moon youtu.be/c3pRtC55HOQ?...

Bernardo out in the cold. Unless injured is a mystery.

"So I said, 'I'd only support the death penalty in very extreme circumstances, such as high treason or mass murder, and even then only if it was proven 100% that they were guilty...' what did I say Roy?" "You said, 'Anybody not wearing a poppy from late August onwards should be taken out and shot.'"

We were absolutely outclassed tonight by a team that is modern and not run by folk from 25 years ago. We are. The Martin O’Neill Elastoplast over the problems we face needs to be sorted. We need a new Board who run a football club properly in 2025.

Not one post-match comment on our first goal being ruled out. Dodgy lines drawn again and no proper parallel look at the decision from the SFA - goal should have stood. Penalty should never have been awarded. Ref and VAR blowing for everything against us in the second half. Cheating fuckers.

The refereeing in this game should not be forgotten. I see wee Shaun starting the conversation there.

Made that harder than it needed to be but great to see a positive team again.

Highly questionable angle and lines for that offside decision.

Pretty depressing watching Question Time, remembering the furore when Nick Griffin from the NF was invited on, and now there's this guy called Matthew Goodwin, a Reform supporter, and his views are equally horrific, yet it's considered balanced and representative of where the country is now 😥

...but the new manager wore a suit and brogues 😖

...you are still writing to Santa @stupidythings.bsky.social ?

Gone Fishing was sublime as always. Last night they had Richard Herring on to talk about cancer. Specifically testicular cancer. I didn't know who Richard Herring was...

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack. Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia. Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

Lords Heseltine & Kinnock seem more alive to these self-evident truths than most members of the Commons. Similarly, I find thinkers with direct lived experience of far right dictatorship, Greeks of a certain age for example, crystal clear about what’s happening now.

“You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?” “Because that’s what they are” @vicderbyshire.bsky.social asks Lord Heseltine about remarks he made at Conservative Party Conference. #Newsnight

In other news, here's the sometime deputy Conservative Prime Minister Michael Heseltine finding the words that seem to be perpetually eluding the present Labour Prime Minister.

No sudden rupture is now required for the far right to take power in this country. For what we're seeing is a steady normalisation of extremists by the Conservative and Labour Parties, BBC, Telegraph, Mail and others. A shift once considered unthinkable beings to look acceptable, even inevitable.🧵

The Celtic Board doubled down then. They don't even have the guile to make the fans collective group believe they achieved something. It's likely worse than we think. Like a pile of pallets they will topple over, or crash and burn.

Would have gone with Tierney in a back 3 today. Schmeichel should have been replaced too. Maybe Brendan is looking for the big personality to turn it around but he's caused us dear since his return.

Morning run in a relatively dry and surprising calm despite bin blown and branch strewn streets. open.spotify.com/track/31KP6d...

No need for a silence, empty seats says it all at Celtic Park.

Hugged a self-described racist jailed for inciting racial hatred at his party conference. Threatened to ‘don khaki’ in the event of Brexit being frustrated. Disseminated the racist lies of an alleged rapist & stayed silent as racists responded by setting fire to buildings full of foreigners.

Not sure why we’re even debating whether Reform are racist. They literally made Lucy Connolly, convicted for urging people to burn down migrant hotels, the star of their conference. We should call them out unapologetically for what they are: a racist party that attracts racists.

Friday morning run for a change on the first day of a long September weekend. youtu.be/GOeELtc6fqg?...

It’s gone so quickly from ‘boat people’ to all immigrants. So quickly from ‘I don’t mind if they come here legally and pay taxes’ to ‘actually it’s anyone foreign’. We are living in the ‘first they came for’ poem. All to give the population a scapegoat so the super rich can hoard yet more wealth.

Sad reality but there's likely more traction in attacking Reform's embrace of idiot Trumpian science than their racism or anti-welfare policies.

Tough on the track this morning but much better time than last. Tar and concrete. open.spotify.com/track/49fv1K...

Fletcher and McCoist have plumbed new depths in dreadful commentary tonight.

Statement from Paul Laverty

James Chapman “Reform featuring in a quarter of all BBC News at Ten bulletins - far more than the Lib Dems, who have 18 times as many MPs, and far too often policy is unscrutinised, according to an authoritative new study. Something’s gone badly wrong at the BBC” www.theguardian.com/media/2025/s...

Morning run in a chill air that signs the yearly slide into autumn. open.spotify.com/track/13nblb...

When I was growing up we often asked ourselves, and each other, 'What would you have done if you were Iiving under Nazi occupation?' And 'Why didn't people stop fascism before it took hold?' For years, we wondered. The answer? What you are doing now is what you would have done then.

You'd think after the leak and the statement Dermott Desmond might disassociate himself from what's going on?

The Celtic Board with their leak to an unsavoury news outlet followed by that formal club statement has achieved direct hits on both feet inevitably leaving them without a leg to stand on. Time is up.
