No pyro, no third degree burns

Kindness v ugliness

My sister was on night shift in the Royal last night. Facemasks are back in hospitals and not a second too soon. People round me are being felled by this flu. Bit of unsolicited advice: convalesce carefully - rest and don't push it until you really feel up to it.

This has to be consigned to the bin. Embarrassing and telegraphs changes of tactics.

Self-inflicted defeat. Started well but went downhill fast, especially in the second half. We don't have a big enough pool of talent so the guys on the pitch are being exhausted and it showed.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssss! Tierney. We've 2 minutes for the draw. Come on!

Hearts get a corner, straight in: goal. We get corners and don't get further than four yards.

FFS we've thrown this away. Murder. Free header, Schmeicel in slow mo.

I'd settle for a draw now

Right Celtic GERRINTAETHUM 🍀

Quick scroll and so much negativity, I'm not sure why. Celtic been great this first half, shown good energy, intensity and passion. I'm surprised to see such a difference on Nancy first game, we're definitely winning this.

Lovely, expending a lot of effort but just too wayward where it counts. I've no doubt the relentless rain playing a part. Surely that goal for Hearts was offside? Nope, he was onside. What a bloody travesty but shot ourselves in the foot by stopping playing.

It's definitely not boring. I just hope that rain doesn't cause a calamity

Daizen could have had two, should have had one

C'mon the hoops 🍀

I rarely go on Instagram and it's just as well. I nearly bought everyone radical tea towels, bras for bigger busts and an embroidery kit. Honest to God, long live Bluesky - we don't know how lucky we are here.

Methinks Scottish officials need to learn you can't be offside if you're in your own half.

Best words to describe his condition? The one I'm thinking of I can't spell or maybe isn't a word: sounds like maroculous..

search.app/wgfD9 I read all this in the hope of discovering the inappropriate song. Now, I'll just need to use my imagination.

Truly inspiring!

Another missive from the DWP today. The first sentence is ominous then they say (through reluctant gritted teeth) that you're still getting paid. They are such brutal, unkind letters and I've no doubt caused a lot of brown envelope distress today.

Poor refereeing yet again. And another uncomfortable end to endure 😳 Aw Daizen and there we go! 3 points and fare thee well Martin 😭😭😭

Steven Pressley has an ..ahem.. unique sartorial elegance

Can't quite see what happened to Daizen - hope he's ok. That's two goals lately where we've suffered facial injuries.

Easy to be blasé but I'll bet not a single one of us could have predicted Martin O'Neill being MOTM in December 2025. There's a fairytale about our club for sure

Ok, it's now December so I feel safe in advertising our collection of poems and short stories. Would make an ideal Christmas present or buy a copy for yourself and tell me which pieces you liked best. See if you can spot the typo in mine 😁🎁🌟🤶🏻 #Lifewriting #MEcfs

I've just received a letter from the DWP notifying me I get the state pension....in 5 years. Apparently all I need to do is stay alive.

youtu.be/GdDtZD1jCKU?... This is a bit of fun.

Scales' eye roll should become a meme.

Ooft what a 3 points! Cruise control until that penalty decision then lost all composure. Held on by our last fingernail 🍀🍀
