A fabulous read by Mark... although I'm excited for the day those two absolute charlatans and their grinning mugs no longer appear on my timeline.

@Amoruso1998 Hopefully St Midden try as hard against Celtic and Rangers as they always do against us.

To add to this:
It’s important to not be too kneejerk to adverse results. Being in this position brings more jeopardy and stress for fans but it’s vital to remember this team and manager have earned our trust
I appreciate we all need 24 hours to cool off before we see that 😂

After a decent defensive showing in the second half, it’s frustrating that we concede a needless corner kick for the goal Players have a week to pick the wounds and get going again I suspect the right side of our pitch will be a huge talking point during the next 24 hours

@SkySportsNews @SkySports please explain why you showed the Dundee Utd v Hearts game live yet there is NOTHING about the game on your app main page.

"But Michael, why is Rory McIlroy winning the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award so significant to you? Why do you even *care*?"
Okay. So...
He's only the third golfer in the 71-year history of the prize to win it.
He's the first since Nick Faldo in 1989.
He was up against seriously formidable opposition on the six-person shortlist.
Most significant of all? It was a public vote that determined the winner.
Why does that part matter.
A couple of reasons, one maybe more intangible than the other.
1.
It often feels as though golf is still in a fight to own its own identity in the face of other people's attitudes, perceptions and misconceptions.
"Stuffy."
"Full of old people."
"For rich folk only."
"A white man's sport."
I've heard it all. I still do. But that's not the golf I know.
It's progressive, inclusive and enriching.
It's an amazing industry to work in, full of wonderful, talented and passionate people. But trying to convince people of that truth in the face of intransigence and misinformation? Believe me, it's not easy!
And so the fact the British public lined up behind Rory tonight - and the European Ryder Cup for that matter - feels incredibly significant. Maybe it's too much to call it a watershed but it seems as though it could be.
2.
I love this sport. I truly love it.
I know how hard it is, the sacrifices the best players have to make, the extraordinary difficulty of it, the fact that failure is a constant companion and, hey, you better get used to that.
It might just be the hardest sport of all to be bang-average at never mind good. Great? Good luck with that. World-class? Behave.
And so when you see somebody like Rory do something truly historic - as he did at The Masters in April - you want the world to stop with you, to care like you do, to be as stunned and as delighted and as thrilled as you are.
Again. Not easy.
And for sure, that makes us defiant. We get a little meta. We get a little this-really-matters-to-me-so-it-ought-to-matter-to-you.
BUT...
What Rory did this year truly *was* historic, it *was* momentous, and it *was* extraordinary to witness.
Without exaggeration, it was one of the greatest personal and professional privileges of my life to be there to see it happen. Again, because I love it. And because it's so damn hard. And because I'm only doing any of what I do because I was a fan long before.
I dunno, it's maybe just nice to see that the thing I love being appreciated beyond my funny circle.
It's most certainly nice to see it being celebrated on a show I used to set my watch by as a sports-mad kid.
Anyway.
Congrats, Rory. Helluva year.

I won’t lie… I was VERY nervous about delivering my first after-dinner speech last night. I’ve never minded speaking in front of people, but this was a daunting new challenge.
So to receive this feedback from @EastRenGC makes me extremely proud (and relieved).

English

And now for something completely different... 🗣️⛳️
Tonight, I'm taking my first steps onto the after dinner speaking circuit.
I'm delighted to have been invited to address the Past Captains' Society at @EastRenGC. Absolutely cannot wait!
If you or your club / organisation would be interested in having me do something for you, please get in touch.
My DMs are open 👍🏼
