Back in the saddle @shrapnelpodcast.bsky.social

Back on the mic tomorrow night

One minute it was there, then it wasn't.

And here we go again. On the socials. @shrapnelpodcast.bsky.social is on its way back.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of our dear friend and co-host Gareth’s father, Brian. Our hearts are with @gmulvenna.bsky.social and his family during this difficult time. Sending love, strength, and condolences from all here at Shrapnel. Funeral Times Notice share.google/7nMiUO4nfFx0...

Today we remember the sacrifice made, and the horrors endured. Lest we forget. "You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye Who cheer when soldier lads march by, Sneak home and pray you'll never know The hell where youth and laughter go".

Research is done and now it's gym time to process the new information.

Reading through old DM's for @shrapnelpodcast.bsky.social and finding my conversations with the late and utterly brilliant Ken Reid. Has saddened me we just couldn't get the timings right and had him on to chat. That was one story we missed and I'll forever be regretful of it.

My girls

Some folk are trying to downplay today's result. No matter what, an Old Firm game is an Old Firm game. I don't care if you're 13 pts ahead of us, playing us at tiddlywinks or whatever else. This game means everything to the clubs & fans. Like Thursday let's enjoy the moment.

Productive morning with the @shrapnelpodcast.bsky.social crew and our friend Iain Turner. #Fragments in the can and now a coffee and sweet treat. @gmulvenna.bsky.social

Right fellow Gers fans. Let's enjoy this moment. In a season of some really putrid crap, this is a shining light of joy. Embrace it. Bask in it. Take a minute and take it all in. In 4 weeks we go again. #Ready

Loved talking to @sam74mc.bsky.social and Gareth Mulvenna last night about the book, what was good and not so good about 1798, my time working with loyalists, stories from the Irish unity world... Thanks for having me :)

A nice dip this morning.

How's your Saturday going? Mine is reading this little nugget ( @clairemitchell.bsky.social ), some football (don't let me down @rangersfc.bsky.social ), and then a movie marathon tonight.

Another day, another bloody platform. Woo hoo
