Politics and football don’t mix? Tell that to Ipswich’s players, who are not happy about Farage’s visit. What a mess, and many tough questions still to answer: theguardian.com/football/2026/… #ITFC

@schreuder92 This is not correct, I did not vote against anything yesterday? I chose not to support a Tory motion as I back replacing the EPL with the OGPM, as per the aim of those I engage with in Aberdeen. I asked for clarity on this from the Tories during debate, but it wasn’t forthcoming.

Aren't you the soft cunt who broke down in tears in a supermarket over chocolate eggs?

BBC Sport have just done a feature on what football will be like 2036. Back in 1994, on the football show Standing Room Only, they looked at the future of the game. This one from 32 years ago was more serious.

If there was a meningitis outbreak in Scotland, @jackiebmsp would be politicising the fuck out of it right now. And would all be the fault of the @theSNP The MSM would report it as a national scandal.

The greatest sixty seconds that the game has ever seen. This day in 1983.

@theturbochimp @AngusBMacNeil @grok That’s a different refinery. Phillips 66 in Immingham is very much open.

@GraemeShinnie @AngusBMacNeil @grok Fully closed.

Lewis pensioner orders heating oil 2 wks ago -70p a litre - but before delivered order cancelled & redone at 99p litre - no oil delivery to island meantime. Same with petrol 20p more per/L to shops & been sitting in Lewis too. From American crude refined Immingham months ago.

@theturbochimp @AngusBMacNeil @grok does the Phillips 66 refinery in Immingham refine domestic heating oil?

@AngusBMacNeil Maybe if the SNP and Greens hadn’t destroyed the oil and gas industry in Scotland, this wouldn’t have happened. By the way, Immingham refinery closed in July 2025, so the final comment is factually incorrect.

Britain has not banned drilling in the North Sea. That is simply not accurate. What has been debated politically is whether to issue new exploration licences, which is very different from banning production. There are already hundreds of existing licences in UK waters. Companies operating those licences can continue to develop fields, drill wells and produce oil and gas. Production in the UK North Sea is still running at roughly 1.2 to 1.4 million barrels of oil equivalent per day. Several major projects are either producing or being developed right now, including fields such as Clair Ridge, Culzean, Penguins and Rosebank. That does not look much like a country that has banned drilling. Norway is often cited as a comparison, but the situation is not identical. Norway built a very large sovereign wealth fund from decades of production, and it has continued to issue exploration licences regularly. The UK, by contrast, developed its North Sea resources earlier and has already produced a larger share of its recoverable reserves. Many of our largest fields were discovered in the 1970s and 1980s and are now naturally declining. That geological reality matters. Britain today produces around half of the oil and gas it consumes, which is broadly similar to where Norway was decades ago before its production peaked. Even with new licences, UK output would still decline gradually because the basin is mature. None of this means the UK should ignore domestic production. Maintaining sensible North Sea output supports jobs, tax revenues and energy resilience. But it is important to keep the facts straight. The UK has not banned drilling, and existing North Sea production continues at significant scale.

Southampton through in FA Cup. Norwich out. Combo of the two means no Good Friday football for #itfc Two games to re-arrange (Southampton/Portsmouth away). Just two available slots to put them in. All the details outlined here 👇 #SaintsFC #Pompey eadt.co.uk/sport/25917968…

Bloody hell.

@jeremieSNP @PeteWishart You beggars can’t be choosers.

@PeteWishart I certainly hope their ex-members will not be welcome back to the SNP.

It was a text book exercise on how to do everything wrong in establishing a new Indy party. Some of the strangest & most divisive people in the Indy movement weren't satisfied in berating the SNP they had to viciously turn on themselves. A salutary lesson for all Indy supporters

Having watched Norwich for 45 minutes, it’s easy to see why Josh Sargent forced a move to Toronto. Probably helps that he doesn’t have to live in Norwich anymore too.

Keith, we are struggling here - can you help? Is there something we are missing. Why wasn't this given? @HACKETTREF

The Scottish FA condemns the behaviour from supporters entering the field of play following today's Scottish Gas Scottish Cup Quarter-Final at Ibrox Stadium. An investigation will be carried out immediately in line with the Judicial Panel Protocol.
