We're on a one way road to freedom Come on Wendy jump in, the Boris bus will take us anywhere

Tonight Matthew I'm going to be @Caley Shaun Caley Shaun, come on down! Oh and whatever circumstances prevail with John Robertson (seems to me that he's one of life's good guys), I wish him good fortune and happiness with his health.

A very good evening to you. Would you appreciate the opportunity to reconsider what some might say is a foolhardy proposition of placing your reputation in inverse proportion to that of the much maligned J Hughes?

Looks like J White might just have (employs the vernacular) proved the doubters wrong

The RCFC as spelled out on the stand seats looks incongruous and perhaps verges on the tinpot.

I would suggest that not all of this content is verifiable. It's especially compromised as Hughes was the opposition manager when one of these clubs was relegated.

Magnificent

I'm missing going to the football terribly, I miss seeing my compadres, I wish our defenders wouldn't keep on selling goals, I hope Sean Welsh recaptures his top form, I trust our attackers will click, top four seems forlorn, I can't begin to think how our directors are balancing the books but I will never give the impression that I am anything less than willing the best of fortunes for the club. Anything less would make me feel uncomfortable and that's no place to be when constructing a fan's manifesto.

audacious, there's time for another audacious

As well taken as the defending was tragic. I'll be glad to see ICT survive this season as a championship club

An ironic arm break.... said Alanis the commentator

Keatings being held "in the penalty arc" Sounds awfully painful

He didn't have it under control and it wasn't a difficult angle. Myles Storey can't play football

Statto! Ok, I admit it, the volume is back up

Yay, he's on! (turns down volume in favour of "get it on" with Bryn Burnett)

I saw the interview with Glenn Campbell this morning and whereas there were balancing caveats, there did seem to an assumptive air of guilt about the broadcast.

It was 2014 and I recall a debate in Eden Court and Nicky Marr, a local "personality" venturing what in her mind was the profound construct of two plebiscites. When she finished and despite what I expect was her expectation, there was silence in the room and although I had sympathy for her, I wondered just why she thought it was reasonable to overreach. For us in 2021 I look forward to the opportunity to consider a prospectus that is as manifestly robust as it will be our democratic foundation.

The onslaught by opportunistic politicians with regard to vaccine jags to drive the narrative that we are somehow incompetent as compared to others on this island has passed but what remains is the stench of short term soundbites and a media that feels that it is incumbent upon them to give equal weight to the obviously laughable and the reasonable. Perhaps we should all take a moment to laud W Rennie et al and to put their contribution to our collective heft in a context that is deserving of their cerebral effort. How do we celebrate Willie?

I had a read of this piece in the Holyrood magazine and Jenny Marra's impression of "Scottish exceptionalism". I was genuinely puzzled by this and setting aside the possibility that she was making a parting and partisan political shot, my take is that the substantial driver in our civic confidence and the move to self governance is the discovery that there is another way beyond the tired obsessions of empire, battle glories, monarchy and ruling the waves. Simply put, the rejection of the fallacious construct of the right that dominates and is underpinned by another type of exceptionalism. Is there really a significant cohort that subscribes to the idea that Scotland is exceptional?

That date will be moved It would take a great force to move May the fourth or even the sixth and I'd be interested to live through such a phenomenon.

Trial date of the former SNP MP scheduled for the 4th of May, two days before the Scottish parliamentary election date of the 6th.

border checks can't come soon enough for me
