Scotland is possibly the richest country in Europe, yet we will never realise that potential, whilst we are in an arranged marriage with a self-destructive, volatile partner. #ScottishIndependence 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Anyone not outraged by this, really isn’t paying attention.

Fair play to JJ Spaun. Superb finish. Gutsy competitor. 👏👏 And what a weekend for Bob MacIntyre. Phenomenal last two rounds. However, the last word is for Victor Hovland. Like seriously Victor, wtf were you doing hitting your approach a foot outside Spaun's. Gave him the line and pace. 🤣😉 #USOpen

The word "creavity" has clearly been banned -yet again- by the USGA at Oakmont. Different game from what golf is meant to be. #USOpen

Jon Rahm is a contractor (employee) of the Saudi state. Jon Rahm is a hypocrite. Jon Rahm is duplicitous. Jon Rahm is a greedy bastard. Jon Rahm is Spanish first, Basque Country second. Ergo, Jon Rahm is a prick. #USOpen

Shucks- imagine we had #ScottishIndependence. We'd be even better

Give Nima's story a read. It will give you hope. It will affirm. It will lift you up.

Bryson DeChambeau reminds me of the David Simms character in Tin Cup. In that he's hoodwinked the gullible into thinking he's intelligent and likeable, when in reality he's a self-absorbed, manipulative prick. Wonder if he hates dogs as well? #USOpen

Did Bryson DeChambeau just break the rules three times in five minutes? 1. Did not mark his ball on the specator walkway yet his caddie picked it up? 2. Placed rather than dropped his ball after taking relief? 3. Did not take full relief from the spectator walkway? @usopengolf.bsky.social #USOpen

Journalists who report accurately on the life experiences of people seeking safety are crucial for true representation. Every one of them is a winner ✊🏾

With summer upon us and the fitba season now over, I hope to watch a lot more of the other game invented in Scotland. Gowf. More importantly, cannae wait to see what unabashed stupidity the corrupt and highly dysfunctional world of pro golf decides to unleash upon us yet again. #USOpen

Golf broadcasters have an uncanny knack of speaking to their audience as if they are the thickest sports fans on the planet. Mind you, with millions of golfers being right-wing, blazer-wearing bawbags who are unquestionably shite at playing the game, maybe the broadcasters have a point. #USOpen 🤦‍♂️😳

Scotland could have ten Barcelona players in the line up tonight but with Grant Hanley being the eleventh man, we'd still lose. A truly awful football player whose lack of skill, tactical nous and positional sense brings disfunction to whichever team he plays for. GHTF pronto. #ScovIce

LATEST – ‘Scotland and the largest underwater discovery IN HISTORY: The world has been searching for centuries’ but ‘our’ media prefers not paying to weld UK nuclear subs and parroting the PM, because the project was SNP Government-funded! talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2025/06/05/l...

This is some watch for anyone who doesn't know a lot of Scottish History ! Starmer acted Today by saying he would never give Scotland a Indy vote shows he thinks he owns Scotland !! youtu.be/7DVyTlpMOsI?...

With 13 years of Celtic having seemingly passed him by, Sally McCoist "can't remember when he last saw a team so dominant." 🤣🤣🤣 #PSG #ChampionsLeague

Robert Burns Then as now!

UK without Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales would only leave a: soon-to-be-bankrupt England. The only thing they would get back is their National Anthem. That's why Westminster is worried

Someone should be taking hard military action against Israel, instead of using empty fucking words. "Israel has a right to defend itself." is the most disingenuous statement to be uttered by international leaders, that is after any blind allegation of anti-semitism, towards anyone criticising Israel

Sad to see Celtic lose but if one good thing came out of this final, it is that a Palestinian footballer has won on the grandest and oldest stage of all. 🏆 👏

Really good piece about Tierney’s imminent return #CelticFC https://www.thetimes.com/article/0f5ea987-fe5e-4311-abed-0ba09838d36d?shareToken=8230b1d0579ef672751e9cfe7178ac5c

'Deciding to leave Erasmus wasn’t about money, it was about ideology, about proving a point: that Britain was no longer beholden to Europe, even if that meant abandoning a scheme that benefited tens of thousands of young people each year.' Assa Samake-Roman, via The National archive.is/ofGPL

1967. 1. Celtic, the best team on the planet, win everything. 2. Scotland, the inventors of the beautiful game, defeat the thieving imposters otherwise known as England. Ya dancer. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🍀

If Scott McTominay was English, the media whores down there would be screaming for him to win the Ballon D'Or. FYI, he's just been voted Player of the Year. 🇮🇹🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏆 #Napoli #Scudetto

I love and will always love Bobby Lennox. Celtic and Scotland legend. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🍀
