A reinterpretation of 1066 and all that, suggesting that Harold’s famous forced marches didn’t happen after all.

A few hours after the game ended & I’m still raging over how United managed to throw away another winning lead. 2-0 up with 90 seconds to play and we snatch a draw. It’s happened far too often this season.

Embrace the boring. How to cut down on sweet food and doomscrolling on your phone. This is an interesting article on how being unable to resist is not necessarily a sign of weakness.

Good news for visually impaired people who use the Meta smartglasses. AIRA have announced they are working on full integration so you can use AIRA directly from the glasses. It’s early days, but it’s coming.

If Scottish Cup games are on TV, VAR must be used. But all Premier clubs who have a choice have elected not to use VAR. saves money & a lot of controversy.

No VAR on Saturday saving both Clubs £5k each.

5 points from nine.
A massive win over Celtic and a gritty draw against Hibs.

⚽️ Scottish football fans are the best in the world!
Dundee United fans setup a gofundme to help pay for a couple of @givevision headsets for VI fans at Tannadice
Nearly £3k in just a matter of hours
I’m truly touched by the incredible generosity 🧡

Dundee United fans have begun a fundraiser to buy a Give Vision headset for my freind @JonAttenborough. If you can spare a few quid, this would make a huge difference to Jon’s life. It allows sports fans with limited vision to watch games for themselves.

@andrewkbailey13 @The_Shed_Talk Apologies. I was listening via DUTV & had the impression Stevenson was playing right of a front 3. I thought he dropped into the middle when Savelj went off. Not that it matters now. Another defeat means we need to find some form quickly.

Are we in the shit or are we 1 win away from turning it all around 🤔 from today's showing it looks like we are up to wer knees in shit...tombola team selection needs to stop, find the best x11 and play them every week unless injuries occur, play to our strengths 🙃

Difficult to see how Scotland could have got a tougher draw than that. At least we dodged another European team, but it’s going to be tough to get even a decent 3rd place. Here’s hoping we can pull off an upset.

@FreedomSci Are you aware of this bug? I’m not the only one experiencing this.

Bit of a 1st world problem but I wondered why, after upgrading to JAWS 2026, I kept typing my PC login PIN incorrectly. Turns out that, despite the JAWS setting to always turn Num Lock on at startup, it’s always off. And it stays off no matter how often I toggle that setting.

What killjoys. UEFA think that short clips of Scotland fans celebrating while watching the match on TV breaches copyright. Really?

Just a reminder for folks that can't afford to buy a screen reader as such, on windows, you have both the built-in screen reader narrator, and the third-party screen reader Non Visual Desktop Access (NVDA). For the Mac, you have the built-in screen reader VoiceOver. All of these options also support braille displays .

@IanJBWhite Yes, it seems the think I’m a bot.

Well, that was quick. Yesterday I was informed that my X account had been suspended due to inauthentic behaviour. I appealed, and now the account is working again. Maybe not posting anything for some time is considered inauthentic.
