@footballcliches.bsky.social Landed in Spain earlier and realised my first tentative "gracias" at passport control is a bit like a goalkeeper getting a touch of the ball early in a big game. Settles the nerves.

Very curious about how the "as it stands" table is going to work in the Conference League broadcasts tonight.

Just back from 3 weeks in Australia, and while I'm sure they have their own problems, it really highlighted the state of the UK at the moment. Proper investment in infrastructure, pricing to encourage people on to public transport (50c per journey in Brisbane, regardless of mode or distance).

It's the return of 16 to 1! After a one season hiatus, our quiz show tournament is back for another series. 16 Terrace contributors go head to head in a knockout format, officiated by quizmaster @craig-killie.bsky.social, to find our ultimate Scottish football trivia champion.

can’t stop looking at this graph

Probably my most "old man yells at clouds" view is about whether we really need to expect the whole country to grind to a halt if there's some slightly bad weather. A lot of people willing football games to be called off because of bad roads 100 miles away or whatever.

Going to float a daft idea here. Due to being in a 4 team group, Scotland won't have any qualifiers in June, but will be required by UEFA to play. The CONCACAF Gold Cup takes place in the summer in USA/Canada and has a space for an invited team. Lots of downsides, but could see many benefits.

🤓🚨 QUIZ TIME 🚨🤓 Since November 2004, Scotland have scored 20 meaningful goals in the last 10 minutes of *competitive games*. This is any goal that was scored from 80 minutes onwards which either equalised or put Scotland ahead. How many of the goalscorers (and opponents) can you name?

"People can choose not to talk to anyone for any reason they like, and it doesn’t matter that you think it’s stupid! The rules of social interaction should not radically change just because it’s happening on the internet." In defence of echo chambers in filter bubbles

The 89 minutes and 18 seconds between John McGinn's opener and Andy Robertson's winner is the biggest gap between two consecutive goals in the same game in the 152 year history of the Scotland Men's National Team.

That is an incredible goal to win it, excellent character from the team to keep going, and who knows how important it will be in terms of staying up in this group.

Happy with the rest but really don't understand Hanley playing ahead of McKenna. Thought he was the right pick last month when McKenna isn't there, but felt we saw the difference between the two on Friday.

what a disgraceful night for the sport of two men punching each other in the face repeatedly

Thought the first half was atrocious, but second half was miles better and we thoroughly deserved that in the end. Rough around the edges but Doak is an absolute superstar. A joy to watch.

A Bluesky exclusive for you (unless you were at the recent live shows): via pod listener Isaac — from an animal park on the outskirts of Bordeaux — the greatest "footballers' names in things" we've ever been sent.

Good of the football gods to allow me to kick off my reign of terror on this site with my favourite subject, Ayr United getting embarrassed in a cup competition.
