The government won’t allow advertisements for cigarettes and you can barely promote alcohol. Why the hell can I not watch five minutes of a sports event without being inundated with gambling ads. This is killing our society. Destroying young men. Time to reframe this.

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.

Former President Sepp Blatter looks like a beacon of integrity and honour compared to the clown now in charge of FIFA..

Who's winning the McPuskás Award this year?

Cinch must be fucking furious they aren’t sponsoring our league anymore. This is the most Cinch season of all time…

On today's @podcast_libero, what impact is the Premier League's financial might having across Europe? #PremierLeague

Seen a lot of people asking 'what has actually happened to Aberdeen?!' having gone from incredible start of season to no wins in 9 so I thought I'd share my take on it here. Starting with: Abdn were overperforming and are now underperforming, and the numbers show it 🧵

The fact that we have food banks that are widely accepted as the norm is bad enough, the fact that they are now opened by celebrities, MPs & Royals is an absolute fucking disgrace.

Supermarkets claim increased employer NI contributions will cost jobs. But not half as many as self-service checkouts did.

Any chance of Aberdeen getting a mention in this post-match programme @ScotlandSky?

Perhaps the solution to Manchester United is to have ex-Fergie players managing the team on a rota. Two games maximum, an Overlap special, then on to the next man.

The latest Manchester City case, the one both sides claim to have won, hasn’t got anything to do with football. The next one won’t either. It’s just legal mud. The game has been consumed by bullshit. Well done, everyone.

After 7 games @AberdeenFC are at 43.75% of the points picked up last season 🚀

No-one has more faith in the Government than conspiracy theorists. "Well they can't run the trains properly but THEY FAKED AN ENTIRE MOON LANDING AND KEPT EVERYONE INVOLVED QUIET!"

Toasters at breakfast buffets should have a standard temperature across the board. Too often one lap of the toaster is never enough, but a second lap leaves you with a slice of charcoal.

I went on the BBC to talk about Jimmy Thelin’s tactics and why @AberdeenFC are so fun to watch right now. You can listen here if you’re interested! bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0jqzt…

After 5 games @AberdeenFC are at 31.5% of the points picked up last season 🚀
