I joined the protest outside the Civic Centre to save the Aquatec. North Lanarkshire Council have stripped Motherwell of our concert hall, our swimming pool and now the only publicly run gym. Sports and culture play a vital role in improving the well-being of communities.

@BlacknWhitePins @scotball_ 😅

@scotball_ Absolute VL behaviour 🤣

Denmark manager Brian Riemer has said he is still in disbelief that his side were unable to qualify directly for the World Cup as qualifying group winners ahead of Scotland: “I maintain I have no doubt at all we were the best team in our World Cup group. “It was entirely undeserved that we finished in second place. "Those who say we were crap are entitled to their opinion. "But I deal with the facts, and when I look at the six games, we deserved to win the group. "When I watch the games again and dive into the data and the numbers, they show that we dominated the games and we created the most chances. "We were the best team." (@heraldscotland)

100% this.

You can tell me all about what you did today. @BiffyClyro @FRabbits @owljohn @tinychanges

@Gavin_F_Brewis A poor result only overshadowed by a ridiculous banner! Also, get Arfield back anol.

@DrColinAtkinson Thanks very much, mate. Very nice to say. Hope your weekend was a good one (despite the Rangers).

Very pleased to share my latest article, which features in Sage Journals, Crime Media Culture: An International Journal, as part of the 2026 Special Issue: 50th Anniversary of Resistance Through Rituals. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/17…

I was fortunate to meet Mani on Sauchiehall Street one lunch break from work, and he was exactly like this. We exchanged a few words, more than he needed to. He was gregarious, generous, and giving of his time. A top human. His star still shines.

Great to see @ClareUoG and @DrColinAtkinson 's contribution in a new publication from @routledgebooks 📖 routledge.com/The-Routledge-… @UofGMVLS

Scott would have been 44 today. He couldn't make it, but the creative work he left the world sustains so many. Also, a very underrated guitar player! Living in colour, always Scott @tinychanges

@DrColinAtkinson @TheSCCJR @UofGlasgow @UofGMedicine A VERY long time. Thank you for getting it to this stage.

A long time coming (came from my time at @TheSCCJR!), but an absolute pleasure to write with, and feature on the same page as, the wonderful Dr Clare McFeely @ClareUoG @UofGlasgow @UofGMedicine. Her data blew me away every time. Amazing stuff.

@GraemeFrew5 @scotlandscoeff1 Totally agree re. frame rate. Been saying this for ages, but few seem willing to listen.

I think VAR has a part to play but it should be to overturn on-field decisions that are obviously wrong. Marginal offside calls don't meet that criteria. If nothing else at 60 frames per second a player could have travelled around 15cm between frames even if the tech can detect exactly when the ball was kicked.

I dislike VAR, would prefer it was removed. But what chance has it got when "The Ref's View" is posting this 🤦‍♂️ This is a perfectly good VAR decision. The only debate is do we want VAR to intervene when it's so tight - if the on field decision is onside. Currently the law says yes, offside is offside so VAR must intervene here. So until there's a law change to give a bigger margin of error in the attackers favour, this is the correct decision.

@starwarstufff Rogue One + Andor. The Mandalorian S1 + S2 The Clone Wars S7 Most of the animated stuff has been very good.

It's been 13 years since Disney purchased Lucasfilm. What's been your favourite Star Wars project since then?

@gmhales I'm old enough to remember when David Blunkett's leadership was characterised by him telling Sir John Stevens "he needs to feel the heat he's under". I'm going to follow this review with dismay as well as interest.

The new Police Leadership Commission, led by Lord Blunkett and Lord Herbert, launched today. The Commission will work to identify where improvements can be made to ensure a consistent standard of leadership in every force across the country: college.police.uk/article/new-po… ⬇️ 1/3
