So, this Tom Homan guy.....
I might be British, but I've watched enough American TV and films to understand most US accents. I don't understand about 50% of what he's saying.

Finished 1-1 after extra time. Kelty won 5-3 on penalties.
An injury time winner to cause a cup upset and then a penalty shootout. Not a bad day at the office.

Dunfermline 1-0 Hibs. A cup upset for game 1 of today. Not a smash and grab either. Dunfermline were the better side for large periods.

Today's office. Looking forward to Aberdeen v Dundee United. Have a feeling it's going to be good.

Great to see VAR ruining football across the globe. VAR referees should be incentivised to get involved in games as little as possible.

Game 1 of today was Livingston 2-2 Dundee. Clichéd game of two halves. Dundee's fragile confidence in evidence as they give up a 2-goal lead in the 2nd half.
Now to Falkirk v Hearts......🚗

Scotland's ideal #WorldCup draw will be USA, Iran and Haiti. ICE agents will have the entire squads of Iran and Haiti locked up in a detention centre by the time we have to play them. A couple of 3-0 walkovers and it won't even matter how we do against the US.

This is crazy, I know. But just imagine that there was someone at the head of #FIFA that wasn't a corrupt, Trump sycophant. Someone who genuinely made decisions based on what was fair, and best for the game.
Elite level football is just like WWE now. It's a sham.

Scotland football fans will now need to get some practice of watching games in the middle of the night. Jamaica v Curacao kicks off at 1am for those that want to start early.

Halftime should just be 15 minutes of replays of McTominay's goal. No chatting required.

For about 30 years, Old Firm fans have complained that the lack of a challenge from other clubs in Scotland has impacted their performances in Europe.
They must all be delighted with how this season is going. #SPFL

#Scotland need to bring on McKenna (or even Tierney) at Left Centre Half. Hanley is so limited with his distribution that it's easy for Greece to force him to pass to Robertson who they immediately put under pressure. A left footer in there would help a lot. I'd also bring on Gilmour for Ferguson.

One way traffic at Pittodrie for Aberdeen against Dundee this afternoon. 4-0 but it could, realistically, have been 6 or 7.

This is going to go on like a shit version of Bruce Forsyth's 'Play Your Cards Right'.
So, Nigel, higher or lower than 150,000?

Quite enjoyed today's #SPFL match, Motherwell v Aberdeen. Even if I left after 82 minutes and missed the two injury time goals! First time I've seen either side this season. Motherwell maybe not at their best but v. interesting style of play. Aberdeen just not creating enough.

Like Super Ally, I was expecting Atletico Madrid's goal to get disallowed for offside.
The only reason I can think of is that because Konate tried to block it, he intentionally deflected the ball which automatically brings the Madrid player onside. #LIVATM
