Just back from 3 weeks in Australia, and while I'm sure they have their own problems, it really highlighted the state of the UK at the moment. Proper investment in infrastructure, pricing to encourage people on to public transport (50c per journey in Brisbane, regardless of mode or distance).

Probably my most "old man yells at clouds" view is about whether we really need to expect the whole country to grind to a halt if there's some slightly bad weather. A lot of people willing football games to be called off because of bad roads 100 miles away or whatever.

Going to float a daft idea here. Due to being in a 4 team group, Scotland won't have any qualifiers in June, but will be required by UEFA to play. The CONCACAF Gold Cup takes place in the summer in USA/Canada and has a space for an invited team. Lots of downsides, but could see many benefits.

🤓🚨 QUIZ TIME 🚨🤓 Since November 2004, Scotland have scored 20 meaningful goals in the last 10 minutes of *competitive games*. This is any goal that was scored from 80 minutes onwards which either equalised or put Scotland ahead. How many of the goalscorers (and opponents) can you name?

This week, some common terms from naval language, and a map of left behind places. But first, what’s the problem with filter bubbles anyway?

The 89 minutes and 18 seconds between John McGinn's opener and Andy Robertson's winner is the biggest gap between two consecutive goals in the same game in the 152 year history of the Scotland Men's National Team.

Happy with the rest but really don't understand Hanley playing ahead of McKenna. Thought he was the right pick last month when McKenna isn't there, but felt we saw the difference between the two on Friday.
