My latest for @ConterScot on a Scottish election campaign which, to the delight of our political class, is passing the public by. conter.scot/2026/4/7/the-f…

If you’ve decided that we’re out of the title race and you want Röhl sacked and all the players gone why bother watching for the rest of the year? At least stop watching the interviews and pissing yourself off for no reason. At the VERY least stop fucking tweeting about it all.

Scots healthy life expectancy has now been in decline for ten years. We are going backward in absolute, not relative, terms. And for all the endless talk of combating inequality and oppression, of all being "Jock Tamson's bairns" etc.

@J4ck_1888 @afcbournemouth All I’ll say is I don’t think I’ve ever seen a group of supporters celebrate a player getting a second yellow card when 0-2 down because he’d be suspended and unable to stink up a football pitch again for a while

Scotland has become a political backwater. With independence neutralised and the promise of devolution replaced with zombie managerialism, there is a sense of democratic retreat. Parochialism and passivity is reflected in myriad ways. A rejuvenation of class politics is needed.

no one: us:

SAN MARINO WON. THAT’S THE TWEET.

Alice In Chains. “Would?” 2006. Rock Am Ring. Germany. Yes, that is James Hetfield of Metallica singing. I believe him joining them on stage was a gesture of the mutual respect between James & AiC, and with Jerry Cantrell in particular.

I hope the @StJohnstone @SJFC_SLO is ok after this act of thuggery Some people who attach themselves to the club I support behave like utter scumbags and I’m not sure why folks go to football just to behave like this. Stealing a drum off of a solitary woman when you are a young man in your prime doesn’t make you some sort of tough guy. I’m thankful that the Rangers fans are condemning this behaviour in the main, certainly the people I know are. Decent @RangersFC fans are embarrassed by this and hate that yet again we all get tarnished by the behaviour of morons. As much as these Ultra type fans bring atmosphere to the stadium I can’t help thinking mobs of guys who go dressed in black are out to cause bother. You can see this in the interactions with the police on the video too. Stop behaving like vermin

What happened in Scotland is seismic. This is not just a “bad night” for the SNP. It is the culmination of a series of interlocking crises and strategic errors built up especially through the Sturgeon period. The post-2014 era is over. Will publish a full analysis later today.

Conter co-editor @David_Jamieson7 on Good Morning Scotland, arguing the SNP approach to independence is exhausted and hollowed out. Fundamental problems must be addressed - and no amount of political opportunism can paper over the cracks.

Today is Ted Danson’s birthday.

The Rock singing a song to Vickie Guerrero is legit one of the funniest RAW segments ever. The fact that the announcers couldn't stop laughing makes it even better 😂

See you there!!!!

Putting on a brave face despite knowing their future in the sport they love & have dedicated most of their lives to is in jeopardy. This club is their 🌎 😢 Please rethink & keep Sir Matt Busby Open @nlcpeople @scotgov @ScotGovFM @ScottishSwim

Why are we still talking about a 'just transition'? When Scotland's sea beds were leased for wind development to BP et al - at the cost of Scottish jobs and control - Ross Greer said only these corporations could create a sustainable economy in time. Unjust transition it is then

@DuncMcKay @GetVideoBot

Hibernian Football Club is it
