Thankfully none of this matters tonight as the Board has reminded us that we’ve already had a successful season simply by qualifying for the Europa League #CelticFC

Shuffle throwing The Headmaster Ritual out of nowhere and that frantic opening burst just pulling me back to my teens and forgetting for just a second that Morrissey is just a venal punchline these days.

Watched The Beast In Me on Netflix and found myself reduced to helpless laughter by Claire Danes’ wobbly-lip-and-chin crying face, which the script seemed to call for every five minutes or so. (She’s a brilliant actor, this just set me off for no reason).

'When they come here they don't even bother to learn the language'
And this is what happens when people do try and learn some English.
Let people improve their already limited life chances, and put down your silly little banners.

Place a new advertising tax on gambling firms. Seriously, that’ll make a serious contribution to the public coffers, the number of ads they run before and during matches is utterly eye-watering.

Last night was a dreadful slog for #CelticFC but the shot in the arm that comes from a last second stunner like that could help keep our heads above water until January. Here’s Radio Scotland very enjoyably urging the final whistle, to no avail.

An advertising spend of £2bn puts the industry's bleating of "you'll destroy jobs if you tax us more!" into context. They're fucking rolling in cash.

It's a genuine health and societal concern.
And it needs to be stopped.

Worth remembering that when you’re humming the greatest Stone Roses songs - Resurrection, Fools Gold, I Wanna Be Adored - you are humming Mani’s bass melody. Not Squire, not Brown, but the bass line
