Celtic, Dystonia, Gaelic and other stuff. Suffered too long with cervical dystonia. Still looking for a cure & better treatment.

The scenes we saw in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Ayr last night are unacceptable.

Scotland is a welcoming nation and those who choose to make their lives here are valued members of our communities.

Racism, hatred and intimidation have no place in Scotland. We must stand against it.

This is the last completely Christian village in the Holy Land. This is what Israel just did to it. Are you going to do anything about it, Ambassador Huckabee? @USAmbIsrael

Richard Burgon just exposed the most glaring double standard in British policy

"Imagine if this weekend in London there was a Russian real estate event selling Ukrainian land. The government would ban it immediately.

Instead, we have an Israeli real estate event openly advertising the illegal sale of land in occupied Palestinian territories. The government recognizes Palestine. Why isn't this banned?"

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

The World Cup begins tomorrow, and many will watch the matches. Soccer reminds us of something we must not forget: life is not a race to show off on our own, but a path we learn to walk together. Anyone who does not know how to pass the ball, even if they have talent, has not yet understood the game. Anyone who does not know how to live with and for others has not yet understood life. #ApostolicJourney

This is utter bullshit. When Indonesia refused to grant the Israeli under 17 team visa’s for the 2023 U-20 World Cup, FIFA stripped Indonesia’s hosting rights and moved it to Argentina. So @FIFAcom can stop with the lies.

ABD, İsviçreli Embolo'ya vize vermedi. İncelemeye alındı, günler sonra takıma katılabildi.

İran Milli Takımı günlerce Ankara'da konsolosluk önünde vize için beklemek zorunda kaldı. ABD sadece maç günleri ülkeye giriş yapma şartıyla verdi. Arka planda çalışan 15 kişiye vize verilmedi.

Irak Milli Takım oyuncusu, ABD'ye gitti, ancak 7 saate yakın sorguda tutuldu. Sonrasında ülkeye girişine izin verildi.

Afrika'da 2025 yılının en iyi hakemi seçilen ve turnuvada görev alacak olan Omar Artan'a vize verilmedi. Somali kendisine diplomatik pasaport verdi ve ABD'ye uçtu, ancak girişine izin verilmedi ve ülkesine gönderildi.

Güney Afrika Milli Takımı kafilenin yarısına vize verilmediği için planlanandan çok sonra ABD'ye gidebildi.

Birleşik Krallık vatadaşlarının ESTA sistemine kayıt olmaları halinde 90 gün vizesiz ABD'ye giriş hakları olmasına rağmen İskoç taraftarların vizeleri günler kala iptal edildi.

Biletlerini alan otellerde yerini ayırtan ABD vizeleri reddedildi. Paraları da yandı.

Dört yılda bir yapılan bir turnuvanın başlamadan içine ettiniz beyler! @FIFAWorldCup @FIFAcom

The level of complicity of the @BBC in the ethnic cleansing of southern Lebanon is shocking. I am listening to their Jerusalem correspondent report that the ‘IDF are striking Hezbollah targets’ while I’m on the ground in the middle of it watching men, women and children being killed on a daily basis. My colleagues are being executed. Paramedics are being systematically murdered. All of this is happening in plain sight and the BBC correspondent here in Lebanon knows it.

May you all be put on trial for your deadly propaganda when the time comes. Shame on all of you, especially those on the ground who are too cowardly to speak out.

[courtneybonneauimages @cbonneauimages]

I just heard the @BBC radio say that the Israeli army was attacking Hezbollah targets yesterday & they also platformed someone bloviating about how Iran is ‘occupying’ Lebanon.

As a frontline journalist on the ground for the last 18 months, I would like to reiterate that I have not see any Iranian occupation bases in Lebanon. I have not seen any children killed here by Iranian bombs. I haven’t seen the IRGC massacring entire families on a daily basis. The IRGC has not shot at me or killed dozens of my colleagues in targeted attacks. Iran has not been systematically murdering healthcare workers (over 130) in Lebanon.

Israel has violently invaded and occupied Lebanon. The flag flying over the base in Al Khiam is an Israeli flag, not an Iranian flag. (Photo below)

The Lebanese Ministry of Health yesterday reported that 3,613 civilians have been killed and 11,072 have been wounded in Israeli attacks since March 2nd.

How many more children do the IDF have to kill before the UK government introduces a comprehensive sanctions programme? https://t.co/PEhcbzXH6Z

All I want from Celtic

1. A degree of harmony / communication between support and club heirarchy.

2. A good team on the pitch driven by a forward looking football dept.

3. The chance to compete on the European stage.

4. Development of young talent

5. A decent game day experience at CP for everyone befitting of 2026

That’s it ☘️☘️☘️

[Alonso Gurmendi @Alonso_GD]

The “uninvolved civilian” they shot at was a SEVEN MONTH OLD BABY.

His name was Sam Fahd Abou Haikal.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

The Israeli army shot dead a 7-month-old Palestinian baby in the West Bank.

It was in broad daylight.

The father says:

"I stopped as I was instructed to, and then they simply shot at the car."

Israel routinely kills babies - and the West is silent.

The Celtic Paradox. Day 3 of 5: The Governance Case.

Celtic's biggest shareholder attended 0 of 6 board meetings last year. His son sat in for him, on terms the annual report doesn't disclose.

Five of the eight directors are past the nine-year independence benchmark. The non-execs average 22.5 years in the same seats.

None of it is illegal. All of it is a choice.

About 29,000 ordinary shareholders, scattered, can't change any of it. One block can.

En la noche de ayer, el conflicto en Líbano se saldó con cuatro ataques de mortero a la base española Miguel de Cervantes, un casco azul serbio fallecido y dos españoles heridos.

Nuestra condena más absoluta a la violencia y todo nuestro apoyo a quienes se juegan la vida por defender la paz bajo la bandera de las Naciones Unidas.

Esperamos que todas las partes cumplan íntegramente el alto al fuego anunciado ayer y que las hostilidades terminen. La paz es el único futuro.

These are the four college girls, including one American citizen, the IDF kidnapped in the middle of the night from their homes and threw into their torture dungeons.

Jolan Abu Awwad, Natali Abu Dayya, Laila Nael Khalil, Sama Safi

Israel has a policy called “administrative detention” that allows them to kidnap Palestinians and imprison them for 6 month increments without any charges whatsoever. These holdings can drag out for years.

Over 3,000 Palestinians were being held on administrative detention in Israeli prisons on October 7. That’s why Hamas took all those Israelis back to Gaza. To exchange for their release.

But do you see how that works? When Israel kidnaps people and holds them for months and years on end, they are simply “prisoners on administrative detention.” But when Hamas does it, they are “hostages.”

[Leyla Hamed @leylahamed]

Not a single peep from the likes of the BBC or CNN, the same outlets that were reporting on the Iranian women’s football team three times a day.

Western media doesn’t care about women’s freedom in Iran, Palestine or Lebanon unless it can be weaponised to serve their narrative.

[Abubaker Abed @AbubakerAbedW]

Israel yesterday kidnapped four women. Two are footballers in the Palestinian National Team.

Their names are: Natali Abu Dia and Rand Halwani.

Is it normal to kidnap footballers, @FIFAcom? Where are sports media organisations? This story should be the headline everywhere.
