A Scottish Cup semi-final at anything other than 3 o’clock is a crime against football. It’s THE game of the day. Treat it like one. 🏆

Why is Michael Stewart banned from Hampden? 🤨

Time for the boys golf lesson and it’s wet and windy. Perfect Scottish conditions. Like the good father I am, I’m watching…from the warm club house.

It’s character building.

With the title race this tight, it always comes down to big moments and big calls. Today feels like one of those days and the biggest decision is MON’s choice in goal. The fans have made their preference clear… will O’Neill get it right? 🍀

Thomas Frank: Tottenham Hotspur hierarchy consider manager's future Tottenham head coach Thomas Frank is under significant internal scrutiny with the club considering calling time on his seven-month reign.

Perhaps you shouldn’t have sacked the manger that just won you a European competition. 🤷🏻

O’Neill about to have his third ‘first game’ as Celtic manager, overtaking McNeill, Rodgers and Lennon.

An almost unbelievable read. By all accounts Nancy never ‘lost the dressing room’, he never had it in the first place.

Now time for the main event: Football 🍀

Wait, why do Spain and Argentina have to be kept apart? Why couldn’t Argentina be in Group I? #worldcup

Online fandom has an abuse problem and F1 is not immune. Broadcasting raw radio messages isn’t helping when tense, emotional moments get aired instantly for entertainment. The sport needs to stop trying to create drama for the cameras beyond what’s on the track. #F1

McLaren’s strategy decisions have already undermined Piastri’s championship prospects, and it’s now impacting Norris’. Strange decisions from the pit wall, there was only one option, pit. Looking forward to next week, can Max really make it 5 in a row? #formula1

Enjoying a slice of cheesecake and a latte at a local café. The perfect slow-down moment for a relaxed Friday. ☕🍰

Plus it’s always good to support local business around Black Friday.

Great character from Celtic tonight, something that seemed to be often missing under Rodgers this season. Three goals and full belief after conceding early. The turnaround under O’Neill has been stark, let’s hope it continues under Nancy. 🍀 #Celtic #EuropaLeague

I need a new first word now.

Midtjylland, with a team full of club signings, show what can be achieved when a modern club works together. Celtic need to learn these lessons.

The only bad thing about bank holidays is that it is much harder going back to work on the Tuesday.

p.s. I love Scotland in the sun.

What’s the pod’s view on ‘extending/closing the gap’ etc when both teams win on different days of the weekend.

Did Liverpool extend the gap yesterday only for Arsenal to close it today or do we just except that a round is played over a weekend and the gap is the same as it was on Friday?
