Here at The Cloister, I'm sorry, and you are? What have you done with @finalwhistle.bsky.social, @miarobbo.bsky.social and Chomp? No thank you! Whatever you're serving, we like our commentary Welsh with a pint on the side with a meat pie, thankyouverymuch!

Here at The Cloister, we're no experts, but it seems to us Wrexham's down to two plays: 1. pass to Kabore and good luck Hail Mary, or 2. pass to Moore and good luck Hail Mary. We think Coventry's caught on to it. But, what do we know?

Here at The Cloister, we see a future in that! From goal box to Press box, Chomp plays it well. Give the man the mic and a blazer. We'd tune in.

Here at The Cloister, we're smitten with Callum Chambers. He was our first footballer pin-up crush and one of the XI+ reasons we love English Footballers. We're not pleased with Cardiff's goal v. Wrexham. A pox on Cardiff! Chambers...we'll let you slide...for now.

Here at The Cloister, we hope @finalwhistle.bsky.social & @miarobbo.bsky.social recover from their cold. Amazing how a stuffy nose can make someone sound unlike themselves – accent and all.

Here at The Cloister, we're dismayed by another dismal football weekend with Wrexham and Leeds United losing their matches. Lucky for us, we have favorite footballer, Declan Rice, to lift our spirits when Arse-anal (cough!) take on Full-ham (groan!) this afternoon.

Here at The Cloister, we are HUGE Joe Rodon fans. Not only do we love seeing him sporting a red jersey for Wales, but a white jersey for Leeds United as well. Tonight: All Wales Are We!

Here at The Cloister, all eyes are on Cardiff as the Welsh national football team take on Belgium for a place in the World Cup next year. Some of our brothers went missing from lauds and have not been seen, though we have a strong suspicion they've been spotted on TV.

Here at The Cloister, in the tradition of TS Eliot's Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, we've named our stray feline McTominay, in honor of Scotland's national player, Scott McTominay, for his performance in the Tartan Army's win v. Belarus today. Let the memory live again!

Here at The Cloister, we beg to differ. Kenny McLean has been unstoppable. He's a force of nature. We'd love to see him on the pitch, in a kilt, twirling with Brother Clement. For this, we pray.

Meanwhile, try as we might, we can't find this tartan army warrior in any of our Outlander DVDs. Have we missed something?

Here at The Cloister, we're riding high on a VPN connection to watch the game. We love the rolling Rs, the keen commentary, and thighs of thunder taking the pitch. Brother Clement is wearing a kilt and twirling around the common room. No one's said a thing about him going commando.

Cloister Zen:

“What would I find in my own heart if the noice of the world were silenced? Who would I be? Who will I be, when loss or crisis or the depredations of time take away the trappings of success, of self-importance, even personality itself? — “The Cloister Walk,” Kathleen Norris

Here at The Cloister, we worship the Word and the word. We're mad about language and how versatile it is. Don't get us started on double entendres. 🤭

Here at The Cloister, we're well stocked in ambidextrous brothers who are well versed with certain talents. Our AI, however, is not as dextrous. Jesus wept.

*we had to edit Kop for Top. Our AI is lacking this early in the morning.

Here at The Cloister, a recap for the brothers who came into the game late: New player, new player, Kabore, new player, Kabore, still no Kop, new player, new player, still no Kop, Kabore, new player, Kabore, new player, new player, Kabore, Kabore. There, you're all caught up.

Here at The Cloister, Midnight Office is rarely observed. Most of us are in our cells doing what we do when the lights are out. Last night, we attended to hear Jimmy Kimmel's passionate stand for freedom of speech. We were enraptured (get it?). We never had so many Amens during a monologue before.

Jimmy Kimmel is Back!
