Here's the least surprising news of the week. 🤦🏻‍♂️ In another spectacular Spectator scoop, next week they'll reveal Reform has a racism problem.

Heading over to the west end in Glasgow for a gig. Bunch of students trying to climb up the downward-heading escalator at St Enoch and one of them fell over at the top. I may have laughed.

Beer garden. #kilmarnock

That's the first time England have faced a side in this whole tournament who were prepared to fight. Sat in to defend the 1-0, and got exactly what they deserved.

GIRFUY.

Nigel Farage Listens to the News

Nice to be back yesterday. Ross County deserved their win, but quite a few positives to take with that first half display against higher opposition. #annanathletic

MATCHDAY. #annanathletic

The prospect of Nigel Farage fighting a people vs the establishment by-election in which the only other candidate is Count Binface - is too hilarious for words.

While I'm a big fan of USA winning a soccer match,I'm very disturbed that our POTUS has put his thumb on the scale. If the U.S. does win the match, the rest of the world will see us as cheaters forever. Referees' decisions are checked during a game, not undone afterward.Sorry if this offends anyone.

Ticket purchased for the Ross Co League Cup group stage game this Saturday. Sick fed up of this World Cup now - looking forward to a return of proper fitba. #annanathletic #scottishleaguecup

Highland road trip. A night in Crianlarich after diverting off to get an iconic shot.

And STILL they bang on about “England’s Route To The Final”!! The pundits’ English exceptionalism knows no bounds.

Alan Shearer has spent this entire ninety minutes talking a lot, but saying ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

Deluded as ever We have achieved nothing economically and instead self harmed the economy It is the younger generation who will suffer most as the expense of those politicians living in a 1950s timewarp Farage and his ilk are the past not the future www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Anyway, thankfully a quieter day in the home office (given this heat) and looking forward to the release of City’s fixtures at noon. Doing emails to the soundtrack of Ian Brown’s “The Greatest” compilation. #imps

The truly awful thing is... Brazil weren’t really that good. We've shot ourselves in the foot time and time again. #scotland

Hard to describe the rage and despair I feel listening to this. Ten years after Brexit - an absolutely grotesque act of self harm. A Kremlin-funded illegal campaign in which the most evil shitty people led the stupidest 52% of the population to vote to harm their lives and their kids’ lives.

Gads, gies peace Google! 🤢

Best place for one

Managed to get A Decent Ride in Silverburn. @irvinewelsh.bsky.social

SPFL fixture release day today, and the one takeaway from looking at Annan Athletic’s 26/27 fixtures is that we will play the other nine Scottish League 2 teams home and away twice. #annanathletic #analysis

Mon Croatia! 🇭🇷

Quite a cryptic post from Faith No More’s Instagram account - possible tour 2027? Certainly a band I thought I’d missed the chance to see.

The Brexit charts in this article show that ... 🔥 The pound is below its pre-EU referendum level 🔥 UK growth has slowed 🔥 Trade has suffered from more border friction 🔥 Uncertainty sapped business investment 🔥 Employment has suffered 🔥 Net immigration surged 🔥 Brexit support has faded #RejoinEU 🇬🇧🇪🇺

A few days in Melrose. My home town in Scotland; coming back here always restores my mental well being.

Just watch this… And for the love of God, please see Farage for what he is. His response to Sarah Everard Vs his response to Henry Nowak Jaw dropping.

Season ticket at Galabank renewed. Another season of lining up behind the goal on the Kop awaits. Usual quota of a couple of trips down to Sincil Bank expected too. May have to invest in some sort of membership given tickets will be very difficult to come by.

Arsenal deserved to lose the Champions League final on the basis of that god awful Norf Landan Forevah Wot Eva The Wevvah “anthem” alone.

Black & Gold podcast, Stacey West podcast, first run after marathon, Scotland game. Another productive Saturday.

Well that was disappointing. #scottishleaguecupdraw #annanathletic

Fantastic couple days in Edinburgh, first (and last) marathon completed. Pleased to get sub six hours in unspeakable heat.

Edinburgh marathon weekend has finally arrived. Having a very quiet Saturday morning before heading over to Edinburgh this afternoon. Taking opportunity to catch up with the Stacey West podcast discussing the Skubala stay or go situation. #edinburghmarathon #imps

First rule of spying - don’t get caught. #southampton

One thing’s for sure. Both of the Glasgow arse cheek ugly sisters will continue to be a cancer on Scottish football.

Such a dubious penalty call for Celtic. The big thing for me is that it's not conclusive. That's where the consistency is all over the shop.

That is an extremely nervy first three minutes from Hearts.

Going to be an interesting summer at Sincil Bank - would be surprised if there were no further enquiries re Skubala. Great to see Rob Street sign an extension. #imps

Always a pleasure; enjoyed recording this earlier.

In Scottish play off news: Clyde now play Hamilton in the League 1 playoff, meaning that Hamilton's away leg will be in Hamilton and their home leg will be in Clyde.……while Clyde's away leg will take place at Clyde and their home leg will be in Hamilton. I love Scottish fitba 🤣

Reform is proof that hatred and ignorance are bigger vote winners than compassion and unity.

Just finished recording for Colin Murray’s 5 Live Sunday morning show - he’s doing a feature about football grounds called No Place Like Home, so we were chatting about Lincoln City’s Sincil Bank. It goes out on Sunday May 17th.

So big they’re playing it twice, according to the BBC (aka the cornerstone of Scottish sport.)

Reform is NOT the answer.

Brexit damaged our economy and left us isolated. We asked people in Glasgow if they've benefitted from Brexit. Here are their answers ⬇️

Further delay at Newcastle, this time due to driver shortage. Employ taller drivers then, LNER.

Heading back to Scotland on 9.30 Kings Cross to Edinburgh service. Stopped for an hour and a half just north of Newark due to a person being hit by a train between Retford and Doncaster. Always horrifying to hear of occurrences like this.
