And for the certain folk quietly and smugly enjoying the failure, here you go (we both know who you are), knock yourselves out.

As for what’s next? Who knows. Not the same, that’s for sure. And go support your indie creators, kids.

Gutted it didn't work out with Issue Four. We tried. Dunno whether it was the cost, the time away, just a sign of the times or maybe it was just me. Probably the latter.

Well, we tried. But it's clear we don't have enough to come close to the line, let alone make it across.

So we're going to pull the plug. Everyone who backed Issue Four has been issued with a refund.

Thanks all for your support and encouragement. Clearly, this time, it just wasn't meant to be.

We Are Not Going to Make It

Just been reminded that Spooks: Code 9 was an actual thing someone in commissioning thought was a good idea.

It very much is, despite definitely being of its own.

Ha! Oh yeah, it’s a wonderfully odd series. And he collaborated with Delia on a very odd radiophonic single, as well.

I mean, of course, always happy to, but I’m not sure I can add any more than the brilliant World of Telly episode that just went out on it.

If you see this, quote with your favourite Pokémon. (wrong answers only)

Kingsley the Partick Thistle mascot. A giant monobrowed yellow spikey-headed creature from beyond your imagination, wearing a kilt and a bobble hat and, wait, he’s pointing at you. He’s seen you. Run! Save yourself!

I know. Gunn’s been decent at least these games but aye, it’s not a great situation.

Obligatory Hallow’Iain Joke Here Pls @iainhepburn.me · 14h

Given who doesn’t make the squad, it’s even more remarkable- and genuine questions need to be asked about why certain players (esp Shankland) can’t get into this team.

I’ve a feeling it will end up being Naismith.

Amazing isn’t it. I can’t imagine who it’s aimed at, other than giving a senior staff member a column for the sake of it.

Clarke absolutely deserves a place in the hall of fame for what he’s brought out of Scotland. But it’s also time, regardless of the campaign, he goes, and someone else takes the team further forward besides its painfully clear Clarke can’t do so.

Obligatory Hallow’Iain Joke Here Pls @iainhepburn.me · 14h

We’ve incredibly dynamic players in the squad, and we’ve just as good players who can’t even get into the squad that are doing well home and abroad for the first time in a generation. But game in, game out we are so flat, so ordinary and easy to play against.

Clarke has done a good job bringing this squad together and getting results, getting us to tournaments. But something isn’t clicking now, hasn’t since before the euros, and it’s not the players.
We looked ordinary against a side that’s shipped four goals in the first half of their last two matches.

On paper we should be murdering sides like that, even with a lack of strikers. But this is just grim.

I think that’s Belarus first goal in open play in the campaign. Well done Scotland, ffs.

Obligatory Hallow’Iain Joke Here Pls @iainhepburn.me · 14h

It was grim, grim stuff. I’d be amazed if we take another point in the group. I’m not sure who replaces him, but the succession plan needs to be under way now.

Jesus. I mean, if this is the standard of columns now we might as well just let AI write the fucking things, they can’t be any worse, surely…

I live in Leith now, so I thought I should go and see Hibs play, but this tiny thing changed my mind

I was on the cusp of buying those tickets

Did someone open the gates on this place this weekend or something? The amount of lunatic septics going full radge in replies to entirely sensible posts is really weird, even for this place.

Connor really is desperate to make Irons a thing, huh.
