Any other stadium in the league that would've been a lovely try for Glasgow, cursed by our own tiny in-goal

Every so often, The Betoota Advocate knocks it out of the park with an A+ headline "Local Man Suddenly Incredibly Comfortable Using Non-Gendered Pronouns When Recounting Boys' Night Out To His Mrs" Is one of those

Oh fuck, are we getting Goode all season??

I see whatever reason Craig Evans had for hating Glasgow hasn't gone away over the summer

Kind of sad that this is the last weekend I'll be planning my time around watching Scotland in the world cup

Does 3 seasons count? Because Happy Endings is it

Someone left the audiophile unattended with the subtitle machine for this week's FBI: Most Wanted...every piece of music has 3 adjectives

There's every chance I don't make it to the gym this morning because I got carried away playing kids Vs adults diamond cricket and now I'm sore. I'm a walking fucking parody

"learning there were consequences for my own actions gave me a panic attack" is the single most Right Wing White Man Shit I've seen in a long time

"hi, I'm Clippy! Looks like you're trying not to get pumped 6-0, let's see if I can help with that"

As a measure of how engaging this game has been, I just looked down at my tube of Pringles for the first time and noticed I've eaten ¾ of them

There will be a great reward in this life and the next for anyone brave enough to hop over to SART and check how it's going over there...

Summer holidays have really done a number on my Spotify-curated workout playlist...the Hot To Go, Get Your Brits Out, Who's The (Bat)Man run was a particular highlight

Insanely Tory coded to think that absolutely anyone would see another person shoplifting food and think to themselves, "I could make one whole pound here"

Hey Spotify, just because Banging Camp by The Hold Steady doesn't have the "E" symbol that doesn't necessarily mean you should put it on my "Family Friendly Mix"...

Schiphol and Copenhagen are the gold standard, Atlanta is good for transfers but I don't know about getting in or out. CDG can suck a million dicks. Prestwick is fast and a good place to learn the same fact about Elvis 457 times

"I don't suppose you fancy doing our job for us?" is a bold line for the police to take

If you'd given me 50 guesses I wouldn't have got who this was, even with the tattoos

Ah look I've "retired" a fair few times in my life but not even 24 hours? Incredible, inspirational. A sensation

Consider my mind overwhelmingly unchanged today

Having to listen to Will Greenwood doing a 30-minute stream of consciousness lightning delay vamp is what they actually mean when they say the Lions is The Ultimate Test.

Some ingenuity from Porter there you have to say, finding a way to concede a penalty when there are no scrums happening

It's a bit rich for Sky Sports to use 8 Lions clips in their "look how great August is gonna be" advert

It must've been quite an engaging first half hour, because I'm just right now noticing that my children are beside me licking sugar off the couch

And another one! Porter's arse is fully showing this tour, if he's going to get his drive properly refereed from now on he's in some bother

Hey any idea what changed in the Lions front row between the 1st and 2nd test that resulted in a 6 penalty swing against them?

Imagine carrying out such willful and repeated vandalism on your own prodigious talent? It's fascinating and kind of sad to watch

Ellis Genge has changed this game since he came on. Phenomenal.

Not including Beirne or Sheehan, obviously

Irish contingent really starting to act like this is a knockout game already, you have to say

There's probably not a more gutting position to be in in sports than being the starting 9 in a 6/2 split watching the replacement scrum half come on after 20 minutes in place of a different back

That's a decent looking Wallabies team...extremely scary that if they win on Saturday then the third test becomes essentially a knockout game which, as we all know, means a team full of Irish players coached by the Ireland coaching staff is capital F Fucked

I personally can't wait for everyone's favourite big man with small hands, Scotty Cummings, to be the one who makes the test team

Blah blah blah Dupont this, Sheehan that...none of them have a song though. Ritchie Vernon, he plays where he wants

"the under-20s have smashed up a Pride parade, we're gonna need some real knock-it-out-the-park good news to take the spin off of that one"

The main selection headache for next week you'd think is the fact that Curry went pretty well, because with a trip to Andrea Piardi's Wild West Breakdown Wonderland to come next weekend, I imagine Morgan and Jo'burg Josh thought that's where they might get an opportunity to come in

If you willingly go and see Coldplay you deserve everything that happens to you from that point on

Oh hey quick question, where's everyone who complained about me not getting behind the Lions for the last decade? Or, to put it into words that you'll understand... Ble mae pawb a gwynodd nad oeddwn i y tu ôl i'r Llewod am y degawd diwethaf?

Because what the world needs is more people talking about the Lions, I've taken to the blog for the first time in 4 years to see if I can work out why exactly this tour is annoying everyone so much www.scottishrugbyblog.co.uk/2025/07/time...

Nice to see the Enya game make a return for Glasgow...pretty dream set of Champions Cup fixtures all round actually

Murphy Walker made an enemy for life today and likely doesn't even know it...eldest was at Warriors camp and Murph was on photos/touch game duty. The boy had his Howe kit on and Walker said to him, "you play for Howe? Ooft, unlucky" He'll never forget that now. He might Kill Bill Murphy Walker.

Every time we drive through Kilmarnock I'm still heartbroken and astounded that the Fanny By Gaslight is shut...what hope is there for literally any other pub if one with that name can't stay open?

We left the children with my in-laws yesterday while we went for a beer in town...text from my mother-in-law, "what's the song she keeps singing, something about dancing at a big bowling club?" Howling

Somebody wants to tell the Tier 2 Rugby dude that it doesn't matter how big or small you are as a race if you can't catch a single pass for half an hour

The new Reese's peanut butter bars are pretty good...as with all Reese's stuff, they have the huge bonus that nobody else in my house will even consider tasting them so I might actually get to eat it

Ah look, maybe there are players who would've been a better replacement for Daly but I'm sorry, show me someone who says that if they had the chance to bring their kid on a Lions tour they wouldn't do it and I'll show you a fucking liar

The thing is, people like Bob Vylan and Kneecap are articulate, streetwise working class people who have faced barriers and adversity all their lives that Starmer and the BBC execs could never imagine. Cack handed censorship was never gonna work, there's always another way

Just seen Ben White at Toulon airport, where I totally am. He was wearing a cork hat and a "keep calm, I'm on my way" t shirt

"some amateur rugby clubs can go six years without winning a restart" I'm pretty sure is pish "You can literally go a decade without winning a restart" six years is not a decade Greenwood needs to spend less of the money he's stealing by talking on this tour on hallucinogenics
