Ruth's top tip for today - Watch Vergara's equaliser just now for Napoli. That turn is delicious ❤️⚽️

💙 Blue Monday, or just another Monday?
Today is “Blue Monday”, known as the ‘most depressing day of the year’. In reality, it’s just another Monday and one less one until the evenings get lighter, the weather gets warmer and the cricket season starts. ☀️🏏

Rovers finally got a point last night and I couldn't care less. Am angry at those players and grieving the loss of DC. I had planned on getting a ticket for Barrow Away but, at this point, I don't want to make the effort for those players.

I'm upset about DC. Furious at the players. A horrible day.

I love sitting here by myself with just the Christmas lights on, watching the Ashes. 3.30 alarm but I love it ❤️🏏

Right then...alarm set for 4.15. Target is to be showered and ready for the day in time for the afternoon session at 5.10. Which is precisely the time by which all my high hopes for England will be over.

I think I'm most excited about having a beer that fills up from the bottom. Like something out of The Jetsons.

What's with this weird dark red lighting on the bus? Was like it yesterday too. Maybe because it's still dark out?

Yyyyyeeeeeessssss! I don't know how I did it in that chaotic ticket scrum but I got myself a Kraftwerk ticket!!!!!!!
When I saw them in 2017, they were probably the greatest gig I'd ever seen.
It's going to be amazing.

I've definitely needed the break from Rovers but I admit it's rather nice to be back today.

Feel quite sad about Kofi - I was hoping he'd choose one more year of first team football. Life changing for him though

I have to admit - BlueSky is a bit quiet for me. I don't miss the horrible noise of Twitter but I feel like I'm out of the loop with Rovers news and rumours. I refuse to go back to Twitter though. Maybe GasChat?

I'm admittedly poor at spotting offsides, but I don't understand why that goal was?
