Today we remember the sacrifice made, and the horrors endured.
Lest we forget.
"You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye
Who cheer when soldier lads march by,
Sneak home and pray you'll never know
The hell where youth and laughter go".

Reading through old DM's for @shrapnelpodcast.bsky.social and finding my conversations with the late and utterly brilliant Ken Reid.
Has saddened me we just couldn't get the timings right and had him on to chat. That was one story we missed and I'll forever be regretful of it.

Some folk are trying to downplay today's result.
No matter what, an Old Firm game is an Old Firm game.
I don't care if you're 13 pts ahead of us, playing us at tiddlywinks or whatever else.
This game means everything to the clubs & fans. Like Thursday let's enjoy the moment.

Right fellow Gers fans. Let's enjoy this moment.
In a season of some really putrid crap, this is a shining light of joy. Embrace it. Bask in it. Take a minute and take it all in.
In 4 weeks we go again.

A massive thank you to my gorgeous wife for the birthday gift. Despite being let down by a supplier, she persevered and got me this.
Always comes through for me.
