Very enthusiastic about history, Scottish football, books, Kermit the frog and jelly babies.

Note to the BBC: the power of Scotland and why they deserved more respect than a cringey wave-a-thon on Spoty. Where to start? Second oldest footballing nation in the world. Developed styles of football 150 years ago still pursued today. No Scotland, no passing. Helped spread the joy of football around the world, igniting the passion in Brazil and Argentina. Helped nurture famous English clubs like Aston Villa.

Introduced keepie-uppie to Wembley. Gave the game the wonderful Baxter, Law, Johnstone, McGrain, Bremner, Dalglish, Hansen, Souness and more recently Robertson and McTominay. Gave the game managers of the calibre and vision of Shankly, Busby, Stein and Ferguson.

Brought the refreshing and well-refreshed mobile party of the Tartan Army to tournaments, fans who raise spirits and raise funds for charities wherever they go. Have an anthem that stirs the blood and the soul. Qualified for the World Cup with a performance of guts and goalscoring glory. Staged their own Puskas award competition against Denmark.

Guided by a modest, proud and quietly inspirational manager in Steve Clarke.
Who should have had the successful, charismatic McTominay on the Spoty shortlist. McTominay deserved more respect from Spoty. So did Scotland.

The treatment of Skye Stout on social media is an important reminder of why our game still has to fight for the respect and recognition that talented players like Skye deserve. Misogyny by trolls has no place in our game. #BeTheDifference

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

@FelicityHannah The line I like to use is 'I gave you life', my 12 year old particularly hates it 😂

I keep thinking how 3 little girls were killed & more were hurt & traumatised, & instead of talking about their precious lives, we are being forced to focus on violent entitled white men burning cars & towns, who don’t give a shit about women’s & girls’ safety.

A difficult decision 😏

@MichaelBochel Agree with all of this. There's been times over the last few weeks I've switched over to Radio 5, just can't handle Michael Stewart shouting about VAR over and over. Definitely an improvement in behaviour with Richard Gordon on a Sunday.

@asda Is it possible to get a direct customer service email address? Item from George has been lost twice and I am loath to spend anymore time on hold on your 'helpline'.
