@sellar_james @mstewart_23 @Douglas4Moray Stenhousemuir chairman invited clubs to participate. We felt it would be politicised and given that he has no decision making powers in Scotland, we didn’t take part. That was a club decision. I personally wouldn’t want to be on the same zoom call as a Tory.

Could not be prouder of this club. From the 3000 meals provided during Covid to this. We do community. This is part of who we are. Get involved. Anyone can support their dads club or their tradition. None of that’s real. This is your town. Your people. Your family. Just do it.

Fab day at parkhead. Great result. Last game as CEO and a Director of Livingston. Time to get some new investment and talent into the club. If the town and fans are serious about being a top flight club then it’s time to move forward. It’s been a smile and I’ve loved every minute

My sons both have children and it all seemed very normal when their partners were in Labour. But my daughter had her first baby this morning. It’s fucking terrifying when your girl is having a baby. Been the longest weeks of my life. But she’s fine and so is the baby.

@LiviFCOfficial so… when St Mirren scored the second goal, I was so raging about the dubiousness of the foul and so focussed on the St Mirren fans running onto the pitch and the injury that I didn’t register that it was disallowed. I left at 90 mins thinking we had lost.

On a business call tonight. The theme was community. Empty kitchens which was based in our venue Dr Bells Baths has fed over 400000 people (four hundred thousand) meals in the pandemic. And Livingston FC over 4000. We have better stats than track and trace and it’s voluntary.

Eat out to help out is a great idea. What’s a better idea is to use any savings to donate to local foodbanks who the government don’t fund. This isn’t a philanthropic gesture on their part. They want the economy back. Couldn’t care less about hunger and poverty. Thank you.

If your football team is about what you hate and what you think you believe in, rather than about joy and being part of something bigger than you. Then maybe you need to rethink your allegiances and where they came from. That same mentality is what’s caused Trump and Brexit

For all the 'all weather pitch' chat, the biggest problem is the actual location of the stadium. In a wee valley with a section of the pitch that gets no sunshine at all. It's regularly 3 degrees colder at the stadium than it is a few miles away in Bathgate.
