Glasgow Warriors & Greenock Morton. You can find me with a coffee, looking out to sea. my heart is in East Lothian and the top of the South.

🎆 What better way to start the New Year!

Yesterday's winner from Cameron Blues.

Ah yes. The Elgin Marbles is a top issue for every household in the UK.

@Morton_FC I think we need to build the team around King. Shaw and Samuels looked like they will give us something as they come into the team

A forest of questions: take our quiz on the Cure! 15 out of 20. Not bad, but feel annoyed about a couple of the wrong answers https://t.co/n1Ard8D7SP

⚡️ We're dealing with a fault with the overhead wires between Edinburgh Waverley and Longniddry on the East Coast Main Line. Our engineers are on-site, and we'll share an update soon.

For those of you who like the stats, this is our first regular-season win in South Africa since 15 September 2018 v Cheetahs.

Well done to @paraicobrien on this report. Appalling and upsetting. I'm so sickened by the attitudes in this video.

#OnThisDay: John le Carré was born: 19 October 1931. He said of Brexit: "One day somebody will explain to me why it is that, at a time when science has never been wiser, or the truth more stark, or human knowledge more available, populists and liars are in such pressing demand."

@chrissydodds_ Reynolds injured in training?

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

1. Could we stop saying "natural gas"? It sounds almost wholesome, but it's one of the most potent drivers of climate breakdown. The term is
a. meaningless
b. fails to properly to distinguish it from other sources.
The obvious alternative is "fossil gas" or fossil methane".

Quite disgusted that many people from the train industry are flying from Paris, London, Brussels, or even Amsterdam to #InnoTrans2024 in Berlin.

You don’t even respect your own business 🥲🤢

[Dougie Macpherson @dougir]

Disappointing. They should have won. Mistakes at crucial times meant Ulster were still in it, and took their chances. Plenty in that performance to feel good about though.

[Glasgow Warriors @GlasgowWarriors]

A narrow loss on the road to Ulster Rugby.

A great performance from both sides. Onto the next one 🦾

As an aside, I assume that the decision by Avanti West Coast to lay on a series of Pride-themed carriages to take people back from a Reform UK conference is entirely coincidental.

[Greenock Morton @Morton_FC]

FULL-TIME: Greenock Morton 2-0 Airdrieonians

An important 3 points secured at home!

Thank you for your fantastic backing this afternoon 👏

[Dougie Macpherson @dougir]

"days this these live in folklore, forever" great to see it get the @SquidgeRugby treatment. The three play off victories were fantastic. @GlasgowWarriors #champions

[Squidge Rugby @SquidgeRugby]

This year, Glasgow Warriors' sequence of incredible, dramatic victories took them to a second-ever league title. So, with their title defence about to kick off, it's high time to dig into just how Franco Smith created a team perfectly calibrated...

@Bazzybaz77 @pieandbov Why do Rangers and Celtic fans always have a persecution complex? You would think that the whole league system wasn't set up to their benefit?
A comment against one of them, isn't automatically a show of support for the other.
Most of us don't really care about them at all.
