Scottish football is so back.

Allora.

EIF opening concert to last for eight hours The theme for this year’s Edinburgh International Festival (EIF), the one you will find written on the programme and emblazoned on bus sides, is a…

Well, tomorrow is a cracking day for Greatest Hits Radio in Scotland to start taking the UK-wide breakfast show all things taken into account…

I’m generally of the principle these days that we’re no longer in an era where we only have four or five channels, there’s other stuff to watch and listen to, let England enjoy itself for a bit.

Scottish radio one penalty away from huge listening figures tomorrow. More so.

Ok, now THIS is a penalty shootout.

Oh, undoubtedly.

If you fall on your arse and still score you should probably get two goals for that.

You’ll be waiting quite a while for that to happen, I fear. And yes, we’re also not exactly in the era when you only have five channels to watch as well.

A team desperate for penalties v a team determined to walk the ball in the net, with inevitable consequences.

Nah. You’d get that for Scotland games on the BBC, but not really for anything else. In fairness, providing separate commentary for a whole tournament could be a bit much.

Not really, no. Certainly not that vociferously. At the same time though, if England won the World Cup we would genuinely never hear the end of it and it would be natural to be a little jealous and feel a little left out.

Apropo of nothing, it would be nice to have a red button option for world feed commentary for those who may be, er, somewhat less invested in an England victory.

The two things I did most in London newsrooms:
1. Say “is that across the whole UK or just England?”
2. Say “murder” on request.

Anyway, please note number one today.

I haven’t got past the layout crime of a hyphenated word over two lines, to be honest.

Allora.

Some East and West Dunbartonshire places took at it as well, but they might have just gone with Glasgow now.

Hello, since I don’t have a London newsroom to do this in at the moment I’m compelled to get the “the water system in Scotland is different, you mean England and Wales” out of my system here.

The intro was quite something, it did not prepare me for Scooter appearing out of nowhere. 😂

I regret to inform you Pick of the Pops is now squarely on target for my age group. I will be taking no further questions at this time.

Also, that statement going around supposedly from the guy in question is fake.

I regret to inform you that LinkedIn is wading in on the Coldplay guy’s situation.

It looks like it may affect services beyond that area so if you use the lower level services at all in Glasgow, have a check first.

There are major problems with the overhead rail lines at Hyndland that look like they’re going to go on for some time, so if you go through there on your way in or out of Glasgow check that before you go anywhere.

Hyperlocal travel update: if you’re travelling into Glasgow city centre from the west on the train then … you probably aren’t. Major problems.

Oh there are … issues.

I've been reminded of this, so now you all need to suffer it going round your head as well. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncqD...

Me: I do hope when they took out that superinjunction they remembered to get an inderdict as well, because in Scotland ...
Everyone: Yes, we know about Ryan Giggs.

I’m Scottish, I’m not easily freaked out by rain.
