To put this in to perspective, this Brazillian kid at 12 years old landed the World’s 1st 1080, 3 full rotations, with Tony Hawk watching on. Hawk was 31 when he 1st landed a 900, back in 1999. 22 years on! The youngest gold medalist in X Games history!

What an end to the match at Fir Park today. Lovely touch seeing the full stadium with a fitting tribute for 2 men taken too soon! ⚽️❤️

Ex-rugby player employed by our national broadcaster with another baseless claim about football fans. At a time when many football clubs & their fans are providing solutions to combat rising inequality and government failings, this language isn’t just ignorant, it’s dangerous.

The behaviour of Scottish football fans is getting worse? Discuss. Are readily available drugs partly responsible?

First Minister @HumzaYousaf brands football bus proposals “ludicrous” and has “no idea what problem they are trying to solve!” He joins other a list of MSP’s including @GillianMacMSP who have came out against the restrictions.

Update after visiting the park. Committee exploring options for restoration ahead of annual commemoration in a few weeks. More graffiti as picture below!

The memorial in Motherwell’s Duchess Park, dedicated to 40 North Lanarkshire volunteers who fought against fascism in the Spanish Civil War, has been defaced. Going by the vandalism it looks like it could be fascists or daft young kids. Any info would be welcome. ¡No Pasarán!

For many, a supporters bus is your 1st away day experience. You mix with folk from all walks of life. It creates a fantastic community. I lost my Dad a few years ago, but some of the happiest memories I have with him are going on the bus together. 🩷⚽️🚌

Taking trips to away matches changed my life for the better

Writing for the Daily Record, Motherwell fan Derek Watson says travelling on supporters' buses has given him some of his best memories.

With this media nonsense led primarily by @BBCchrismclaug & his media cronies, plus out of clubs like @JamTarts shutting their most lively section of the stadium, @MotherwellFC promote their season tickets with positive messages re a boisterous fan group + images of pyro! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Craigan played in Europe for Motherwell appox 14 times. He represented N.Ireland 54 times. He beat a Spain with Ramos, Xavi, Alonso, Puyol, Torres & England with Lampard, Beckham, Gerrard, Rooney. How dare he pass comment on those European giants like Rangers & Royal Antwerp.

Give me 50 fans, away in Dingwall, pouring on to the pitch to celebrate an extra time winner on a freezing Tuesday night over this nonsense every day of the week. Make your league a tourist attraction marketed worldwide with extortionate ticket prices & this is the outcome!

@BBCJohnBeattie John, research shows that over 5 million people in the UK struggle to get enough to eat. The Trussell Trust recorded 81% rise in the use of food banks over the past 5 years. Here’s some examples of football fans helping those in need, regardless of affiliations and rivalries.

Times Square, New York. Stroget, Copenhagen. The Left Bank, Paris. Oslo, Florence, Riga, Athens, Stockholm, every major city in the Netherlands. The list is endless. Either totally pedestrianised or have car-free zones. LEZ is not the reason Glasgow city centre is such a state.
