The Messenger Johnny Marr · Album · 2013 · 12 songs

Records I don’t play enough. Johnny Marr doesn’t get as much credit for his solo stuff as he should, this one has some great songs on it. open.spotify.com/album/6kGPlZ...

There's a bit more giddyness this week. We discuss Sunday and much like Sportscene on Saturday night three old blokes chat about the other results (Well one more than the others)

There’s only two types of music, music you like and music you don’t. I like Manifesto/Flesh & Blood/ Avalon Roxy & I’m ambivalent about the rest. The defence rests.

War (Remastered) U2 · Album · 1983 · 10 songs

From the rarely played pile. Entry-level U2 for me, along with the live album. Production makes it sound 80”s-dated but there’s at least 5 songs that would sit comfortably on any Best Of list of theirs. open.spotify.com/album/6GaqU0...

RGC - A Celtic Podcast Celtic fans of a certain age discuss all things Celtic, where the only xG that is discussed is expected Guinness.

There's a lighter, more upbeat tone to this week's episode.

Being honest there really was only one direction it could go.

Sunday's game, Pittodrie preview and a chat about the price of tickets and the ambition of the board gets us back on familiar territory

Enjoyed seeing Make It Happen at the Festival Theatre in That Edinburgh tonight. Brian Cox phenomenal as was Sandy Grierson as Fred Goodwin. Obviously a heavily fictionalised version of the rise & fall of RBS, but just enough in-jokes and references to trigger the old PTSD.

Thank-you for such kind messages about my libel action against Joey Barton. I can confirm it is now concluded and I am satisfied with the result. Mr Barton has now paid out more than half a million pounds in my case alone.

There seems to be some confusion about the stages of the case. The below is to explain the numbers. I have no further beef with Mr Barton, who has a series of ongoing legal problems to deal with. While defending my libel action, he also became a convicted wifebeater.

My damages in the case were £110,000. These were paid last year, and Mr Barton made the agreed public apology. But my costs in bringing the case were between 180 and 190k. Mr Barton pledged in court to pay the costs, then chose to argue that the figure was too high.

Frustratingly, this meant I had to bring a separate action to recover my costs. The separate action also had a cost to it. Mr Barton surrendered on the main costs two days before the costs recovery action, but it was too late to avoid being liable for the costs recovery action.

So Barton paid for the libel. He paid the costs. He paid interest on the costs. He paid the cost of losing a challenge on the costs. And he paid his own costs, which will be more than mine because he had fancier lawyers. He has lost at least half a million pounds.

People asked, 'What if Barton refuses to pay, or can't pay?' To ensure he had the funds, I had to commission legal searches on his house. He owns it outright. Lawyers advised me that if he did not pay, they could put a charge on his house.

This would mean Mr Barton would effectively become my tenant, paying me rent to live there. If he fell behind with the rent, I would have the right to evict him or force the sale of his house to recoup my debt.

Yes, Vine is a twat, but Barton is a grade A cunt and this is objectively hilarious

RGC - A Celtic Podcast Celtic fans of a certain age discuss all things Celtic, where the only xG that is discussed is expected Guinness.

I'm afraid the mood in the camp has changed very little since the last two recordings.

The baffling behaviour of the bold Dermot has not impressed the lads on the pod.

There's even talk of no pints before and after the first game of the season.

Yes, it's that bad
