Taylor Swift is a cult. Fair play to her hustle - she’s convinced millions of women that she’s a feminist icon while simultaneously rinsing them for every penny they own on never-ending merch and album re-releases only to add to her near-infinite wealth.
Every 2nd week a minimum 6 hour round trip. School night all the way down to Glasgow n back, knowing their team will likely get beat. Time off work, money, non-existent public transport.
Well in to every one of them, dedication of football fans is unmatched in any other sport
GREAT SCOTTISH PRIDE MOMENTS IN HISTORY

Will never forget this oration. Amazing how the role of the commentator can be etched into the memory of a moment in time forever. Rory Hamilton the best in the business at the moment

“Huge tax cuts”
“H… Huge tax cuts? At this time of strife, at this time of year, in this financial climate, localised ENTIRELY in the super wealthy?”
Lammy easily one of worst people ever elected to office. Guy has absolutely no genuine morals or values whatsoever.
The archetypical example of morally bankrupt liberalism that has been the main cause of the rise of right wing populism
Cannae stand this guy. He believes, genuinely, that he invented a skill and it’s known as a McGeady spin right across the world. Like Panenka or Cruyff hahahaha

This is ridiculous - this is not a pro-UK rally, it’s a fascist rally. Making it about independence almost gives legitimacy to these thugs. Nationalists and unionists must unite against fascism here
BREAKING: Independence campaigners have announced a counter-protest on the same day a pro-UK rally promoted by Tommy Robinson will take place in Glasgow.
Story to follow.
For clarity, I think the English sports media are well entitled to watch their team, cheer them on and hope they do well. The reason I do these threads is two-fold:
A) it’s very funny to watch your rivals fail
B) to point out the absurd nature of UK public service broadcasting
Looking forward to the salty tears of very comfortable middle class folk wondering how they’ll struggle to redecorate their conservatory of their second house this year
The piling on of Patterson last night defo comes from place of club level tribalism. Mad how folk cannae see past their tinted glasses. He was poor and clearly needs a move from Everton to play football - but to say he’s a bad player is patent nonsense
7. Prior to setting out for the World Cup, there’s a bizarre moment where William, the Prince of Wales meets with the whole squad to wish them well in beating ehh… Wales

Won’t listen to any footballing opinions from a guy who’s just spend £60 to watch Man U U19s play Lyon in a friendly hundreds of miles away from either of their grounds
18. After shiteing it in the first game and not wearing a pride armband, Harry Kane allegedly makes a subtle protest by wearing a colourful half-million watch. That’ll show em Harry boy, one thing Qataris don’t like is repulsive wealth
27. Sky Sports’ hilarious player reviews the next day. Billy Gilmour, who won MOTM and was the best player on the pitch: “the magnitude of the game took its toll on the 20 year old”. He’s HOLDING the man of the match award in the photo 😂
Folk calling for Steve Clarke’s head and to bring David Moyes obviously have short memories. Huge questions to be asked of Steve Clarke and I don’t know the answer to whether his time is up - but be careful what you wish for
14. After the *Iran* pumping, elsewhere, tournament favourites Argentine suffer an absolute shock 1-2 loss to Saudi Arabia. The debate that follows is completely sane and reasoned. Favourite moment is “2? No more than 3 😌”
Attacking any individual unprovoked but a Female, on her own & a St.Johnstone club official makes it a huge issue for the club now too

@AshtenRegan
It does beg the question, if you fundamentally disagreed with so many policies of Sturgeon’s government, why did you serve as a cabinet minister in it for 4 years? Was it the salary? Or purely for political self-advancement?
39. And finally as the sports media ponder how the Lions have again not won the tournament as expected, the rest of the sporting world laughs. England STILL will not win a major tournament again 🏴➡️🏠
38. FT and France have won 2-1 putting England out of the World Cup. The only rationale explanation is that the ref must have been the reason (in a game he gave England 2 penalties)

Blatant hypocrisy suggesting that the Scots have ever or would ever “make foreigners” of anyone, considering that England & Wales themselves voted to isolate themselves from every other country in the EU

I applied for my SNP mum to BBC the big questions about 10 times and got rejected every time. Then on the 11th time I changed the “last vote in a GE” to ‘Conservative’ and it she was accepted immediately. What does that tell you 🙃
The monumental stupidity of Humza Yousaf in the past 48 hours has finally put bed to the question - you don’t get a better education in a private school
BREAKING: Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar has said he will be lodging a motion of no confidence in the Scottish Government.
This goes further than the vote of no confidence in the FM and could result result in an early Holyrood election.
Story to follow.
22. Rio Ferdinand believes England will “work” Scotland and win by 2 goals comfortably. Rio interrupts Jimmy Floyd Hasslebaink’s objective opinion to assure the viewers “it WILL be that easy”. There are no Scottish voices on this preview despite it being a UK broadcast.
6. Sky lead with a bizarre predictor thing where they imagine the headlines if certain permutations were to occur at the tournament. Again, a baw has NOT been kicked here 😂
“What I’m not going to do is ask ordinary families up and down the country to pay an extra £1,000 a year to meet the pay demands of the union bosses.”
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak says he is a “looking at tough new laws” to "minimise disruption" from industrial action.
34. Half time analysis focuses on explaining the goal entirely through the lens of the foul. Only Roy Keane notes the fact that there was 6 passes and an entire pitch traversed after the foul, as well as a 30 yard strike 😂
11. Opening day is upon us and the pundits begin the eternal battle: trying to not get carried away with themselves and ending up looking stupid when they’re put out, but failing all the same.
22. The Lions run out and batter Wales 3-0 in the final group game. Consider listening to this insufferable commentary though - this is a UK broadcast. This is the only place Welsh fans can watch the game.
1. After a dream route in Euro 2020 and a final at Wembley where they are roundly beat by Italy, the media immediately begin setting their eyes towards getting too excited about Qatar 2022.
Should also note that I hold absolutely no ill will to Southgate or the England players themselves. They have been exemplary in every aspect and should be proud of themselves. I know I would be if I was an England fan.
57a. The ugliness of the way they’ve reached the final however is nothing in comparison to Sam Matterface’s 5 minute long monologue about about how “the country deserves this” as if no other nation has suffered in the past 18 months.
16. The standard World Cup protocol applies for the British media. Intersperse coverage of other matches with packages. about England. Here’s a piece about Trent Alexander-Arnold in the build up to Germany vs Japan. It’s a UK broadcast mind
18. On day 2 of a tournament England have not yet played in, ITV and the BBC’s coverage provides features and coverage about the England team before, during and after the games, taking space that would normally be used for analysing the match being played currently.
33. 20 minutes into the game France open the scoring with an absolute wonder strike. The immediate analysis from our UK broadcaster is to highlight that the goal should not have stood due to a foul some time before the goal
Look at that passion, that belief, that togetherness. This is the best Scotland team of my entire life and they are taking us to the Euros and the World Cup. Unreal how much I am in love with this team and that man Steve Clarke
Deal Done ✅📝

No they really aren’t. Some actively passionately follow Scotland (me), some are bitter wee horrible losers (him) and the vast, overwhelming majority quietly support Scotland and hope we do well
You may not agree with their methods or their views.

Missed the 8:46 to Glasgow this morning. The app told me the next train to Glasgow was the 9:23, meaning I’d be late for a meeting.
Thankfully, ticket desk person let me know I could get the 9:03 Cathcart ring circuit, which got me there with plenty time
