I started the holiday season slightly under the weather so I'm only now hitting full port and cheese consumption.

McCowan is goosed. Have we run out of subs?

Every shot on target has been a goal as far as I can tell.

End to end stuff.

Ralston off (forever) and Donovan on.

Behringer 303 clones are only £70 at the moment. I've Christmas money burning a hole in my pocket and a mid life crisis to cater to.

Ambient music requires extreme volume. Lots of people don't get this.

Why is there not a full Scottish fixture list on Boxing Day? This is insufferable.

Hail Santa!

Fear Santa. youtu.be/xZIDci7FW6E?...

Always read beyond the headline.

Just checking if MLS has a draft system. It does, 3 rounds, which coincidentally happen today. Full of nonsense like trading draft picks with another team for one of their international slots. It bears absolutely no relation to how European teams operate.

One of Nancy's issues is his lack of experience. I mean that in the sense that if Kjetl Knutsen had come in and done the exact same thing with exactly the same results he'd get more time from the fans because they would believe he could take them places. Nancy doesn't have the evidence behind him.

If, and it's an astronomically big one, we can win our next 4 and Hearts beat TRFC at the weekend, I think that leaves it a 2 horse race. That might help us kick on. I genuinely don't know if another manager change helps. It's the squad.

We can talk about a good first half but that may well have been down to Goodwin's tactical ineptitude, rather than it starting to click for Nancy. He literally has no leeway now. I doubt 4 wins including a humiliation of Rangers would restore faith in him.

So from a 1st half where we really should have gone in 4-0 up, we're now 2-1 down. Ridiculous.

I'd take Schmeichel off.

Is Kenny short on confidence, or talent?

There's Schmeichel again getting an instruction from CalMac and ignoring it. That's quite a few times in recent games. There's something going on there.

Starting to feel festive. Low - Santa's Coming Over youtu.be/xZIDci7FW6E?...

This is an opportunity for Kenny to burst himself and put himself into the managers thinking. At the moment it seems like he's not going to take it.

You know what I miss from the Ange days? Not taking 3 days for a throw in.

I was just about to praise Iheanacho and now he's done. Was really enjoying his play.

If I have a 3rd negroni will I be able to negotiate the stairs to bed?

We dig Optimus Prime and not Galvatron. We dig the leader of the pack and not the doo ron ron. Spinderella and Bruce Lee The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. V for Vendetta And Into The Groovy

Just needs a horseshoe in the background.

I'm quite interested in the mindset of people that are clearly not even going to entertain the idea of giving Wilfried Nancy a chance. I can totally accept misgivings about his lack of experience, and where that was achieved. Writing him off after a week and 2 games in charge is weird though.

For Sunday I'd start Iheanacho, with Maeda left. Drop Nygren for Barnardo. And potentially Tierney for Donovan, as happened at half time.

Statuesque defending there.

Can somebody remind what it was about Bodo/Glimt in Europe that had people begging for their manager?

Haven't listened to The Coral's debut album for a long time, and it's really good.

@barcajim3.bsky.social picking you since you seem reasonable. I'm slightly surprised no eyebrows are being raised up here regarding Tony Blooms Starlizard betting syndicate. At the start of the summer Hearts were upwards of 20/1 to win the league. Do you see any issues there?

Anybody fancy a football conspiracy theory?

Movie you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (either War or Trek), LOTR, or Marvel.

Glasgow mattress sellers rubbing their hands with glee based on some of the comments I've seen.

Sunday morning tea, toast and dread..

I'm not telling you anything you didn't know but Trump's peace prize will be awarded once only and he'll keep the bauble. This is to alleviate the threats of taking games away from cities or blocking any teams from coming.

This draw could directly lead to this being the least viewed World Cup ever. It's honestly making me hate football.

Jesus Christ on a bike. Will this torture never end? We should remove football rights from the Concacaf zone for this.

I would have thought the potential evacuation of Tehran, a city of 9 million people, due to water running out might have made more headlines.

What can I listen to in order to dispel the queasiness incurred by listening to Locust Abortion Technician by The Butthole Surfers?

Totally obsessed with Nothing But Heart by Low at the moment. Specifically the end part where Mimi sings a new verse. youtu.be/nYYfNiKdNQI?...

If Sutton thinks his arm is down by his side his anatomy knowledge is really suspect. Clear pen imo.

Dirty Three were amazing last night. Half tempted to check twickets for tonight.

Currently listening to this. Very good.

I see Rocco Vata now being touted for a £20m move. How's that business model working out #celtic?

🔊🔥 Anyone interested in direct impact should try and attend London on Sunday aft/eve 😉

Listening to Implosion by The Bug / Ghost Dubs at reasonable but not excessive volume and it's doing something to my chest. Would love to hear this live / at excessive volume.

Just saw the Yang finish from behind the goal. Really well done by him.

@timkellogg.me given the amount of testing you do, how far off do you think we are from coding LLMs being 'good enough' and eg anthropic might consider reducing training? I'm just wondering if this might shorten time to profit.
