#Adolescence is some watch. Harrowing & terrifying for parents. 5☆ acting esp new star Owen Cooper & peerless Stephen Graham. Can only give plot 4.75, tho. Maybe denial but just how realistic is it that boy of that character, background, influence would do it?Is there precedent?

Yes, an easy way for authorities to forgo their responsibilities too.

Thinking about growing levels of ££ doled to 3rd sector orgs on basis of 'community' in Scotland. Well intentioned, seldom questioned, but when does it become threat to small biz & established voluntary groups, sucking resources & trading in competition, offering higher wages...

Willie has high standards & is always worth listening to, but maybe harsh here. Celtic got smashed 7-1 in Dortmund. Did it drain all momentum? Doesn't look like it. Back on the horse we go. Stand free #Aberdeen

Cruel beast the Scottish Cup.. #Threave & #Stranraer tie had it all including, in true Scottish football fashion, a late kick in the guts. 94th min 3-2 winner & a red card for heroic Charlie Watson, a 19 year old battling stage 4 cancer. Well done @BBCSportScot for top coverage
