I wouldn't say the Blundellsands & Crosby CSC is the most middle class Celtic fans club, but these were the half time nibbles provided by @pclittlespoon.bsky.social the night. Cheese Cloche CSC cc: @barcajim3.bsky.social

Brendan has absolutely Mourinho-ed this whole situation with one vital difference: nae dough, suffered a comprehensive character assassination before being bucked out the front door onto the arse of his trousers

He's resigned so no pay off and no NDA. Carnage will ensue. The Board comes off even worse now too. Mental self-destruction

Did no-one on the Celtic board think of @barcajim3.bsky.social, @pault1888.bsky.social, @chrisdonnelly.bsky.social and the @rgcceltic.bsky.social Monday night podcast record? #sacktheboard

Will nobody at Celtic think of that wee Rangers fan in the Clyde Tunnel that Brendan brought so much joy to? #sacktheboard

How Many Comedians Does It Take to Change a Country? What itโ€™s like to watch Louis C.K. do stand-up in Saudi Arabia

"Sometimes you have to ask yourself: How did I get hereโ€”sitting in Saudi Arabia, listening to Louis C.K. do jokes about Barely Legal magazine?"

I went to Riyadh to see the transformation of a country with the world's biggest cultural chequebook. Gift link:

The book isnโ€™t out until January in Ireland and March in the States, but if youโ€™d like a copy eventually here is the pre-order discount code. Iโ€™ll share it again and have some launches planned in Bellaghy, Belfast and Dublin for late Feb/ early March. Do come along, Iโ€™d be glad to see you.

Portugalโ€™s far-right Chega falls well short of expectations in local elections Party hoped to take 30 municipalities but secured three after share of vote halved from parliamentary elections

Double kudos to @jonhenley.bsky.social and the @theguardian.com for:

a) taking the trouble to report on a set of continental European elections where the far-right didn't sweep all before it!

b) calling the far-right the far-right, not ๐Ÿคฎ 'the hard-right'!

Seven years ago today, Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi was tortured, murdered and then dismembered. And any so-called comedian who can't stand up tonight in Riyadh and do ten minutes on that kind of hijinx and horseplay just isn't worth the Saudi blood money he's being paid.

New book is out soon. @shugmcgowan.bsky.social is to blame. It is an absolute cracker. Love every single word in it.

Very difficult to imagine Rodgers is signing a new contract, or indicating he will, on the evidence of that.

It's the poor Braga players I feel sorry for, not being able to tweet for the next 20 years about how great Celtic Park atmosphere is

Lack of a top flight striker really biting at Celtic. Goalless four times this year. Won two in six.
