I was on a flight from London to Tokyo to start my round the world adventure.
How time flies.

@henrywinter As a "neutral", Harry, PSG were the only team that tried to win that final.
Arsenal scored early, and that was the worst thing that could happen for the game. They had no interest in taking part after that.
One of the worst games I've watched in ages.

@prodnose @FansAgainstVAR_ I don't understand how it's not handball. The ball has travelled about 50m, he has a clear view of it coming towards him, but he makes a mess of his clearance and handles it.
It has nothing to do with #VAR though. The referee should see that.

[Craig Ramsay @cwramsay]

@sked21 One of the worst games I've watched in ages, Joel, turgid stuff.
Arsenal weren't interested in playing until PSG scored, and even then, they manged 10 minutes. I can understand why you're delighted, when you started off as neutral.

[Craig Ramsay @cwramsay]

@chris_sutton73 One of the worst games of football I've ever watched, Chris. Brutal.

[Craig Ramsay @cwramsay]

@WhyteCw @pieandbov I don't disagree.
Hindsight is an awesome superpower.

[Craig Ramsay @cwramsay]

@terracepodcast I mean, Ageu has to be up there, right? He might well come good, but so far, we've paid a club record £1.7m for him, and he's managed 126 minutes of football.

[Craig Ramsay @cwramsay]

A full-time whistle?
That's novel.

[Premier Sports @PremSportsTV]

🍀 @CelticFC are #ScottishCup winners!

The full-time whistle goes at Barclays Hampden and the Hoops begin their celebrations 👏

Evening @edinhelp
Someone has flytipped a pair of couches at the bins on Roseburn Cliff.
Any chance you could get someone to come and get them please?

[Craig Ramsay @cwramsay]

@spfl Can I also ask, hypothetically, if Hearts had scored from their free-kick to make it 2-2, and their fans had invaded the pitch in celebration, would the game have been "ended" and declared a draw?

[Craig Ramsay @cwramsay]

@spfl Thank you for this statement - it's really cleared things up.
So now that we've confirmed that, if fans invade the pitch, the match will be "ended", can we just confirm how long before the end this rule applies?

[Craig Ramsay @cwramsay]

Evening @ScottishFA.
The world is watching.
The longer you leave it, the more it looks like you're making it up as you go along.
The game wasn't finished today - what are you going to do about it?

[Craig Ramsay @cwramsay]

@GeoffNorcott As a Hearts fan, Pat Nevin is a decent pundit, but he's a H1b5 fan, so he's hardly impartial...
So yes, Scottish football is always like that, the "establishment clubs" always get a bit of slack...

[Craig Ramsay @cwramsay]

@TEnglishSport Ok.
So when do Hearts get to kick off again?
I seen to have missed that...

[Craig Ramsay @cwramsay]

Evening @Edinburgh_CC
Any chance you could send someone to pick up this abandoned mattress please?
Someone has dumped it and it's been blocking the footway at the bottom of Roseburn Cliff for days.
Thank you.
