  1. I'm not entirely sure as to why the referendum has to be run from Edinburgh. If when there is a pro self governance vote in a few months time, whoever the prime minister is should grant a referendum and run it from London. It would be gerrymandered and a scare storied shambles to beyond what most would regard as fair but a small margin vote for retaining London power would be inevitable.
  2. Yes, it's now gone and Ignorant of Invergordon had some echo of decency about him and withdrew. It's such a pity that his father didn't choose to do the same.
  3. There's also a quite appalling reply from a Ross County supporter. This year has a long way to run and I'd be very glad to not read anything like that during the next twelve months.
  4. He hasn't even got the quality control to get it right. Agnes Robertson! His arithmetic isn't too hot either. For Glasgow Southside, all the unionist votes together didn't come close to Nicola in 2016. All this low rent stuff aside, he's advocating a very dangerous partisan scenario and that is nothing but bad news. Thank goodness his political credibility is long gone.
  5. Oh dear, that's very sad and it looks like there has been a breakdown in communications with Ian's family..... "I’m one of Ian’s daughters. Could someone from ICT please contact me ASAP? We are still in the process of notifying family and friends. This should not be public yet"
  6. Chick Young, born 1951, said he has campaigned for all his life against artificial pitches, an early example of such is the surface first installed by Stirling Albion in 1987.
  7. They would be obliged not to as the Liberal Democrat / Labour coalition formed the executive, a name reflective of an unambitious parish council. This however this does remind me of the length of time it took the BBC to refer to the Holyrood folks as the Scottish Government. I wonder how many committees and executive input it took to fully react to this Alec Salmond master stroke.
  8. Indeed. This is an example of such a thing. Those of a nervous disposition and those that might be induced to rage should avoid clicking the link. Suffice it to say that the pinned tweet, sets the tone... "It is incompatible to be a Rangers supporter & someone sympathetic to - or voter of - the #SNP. End of."
  9. ftfy He looks so elegant but alas, he is compromised by a lack of footballing ability.
  10. I didn't last until kick off. I have my radio delayed by a minute to receive the descriptive aural delights of Paul and Billy
  11. Indeed. Blame Corbyn and his gullibly misplaced, in a Charlie Kennedy style, on one hand this and on the other hand that delivery. It's quite astonishing how the labour party got it so wrong.
  12. Ian Bell was indeed a huge loss and I certainly don't recall purchasing a physical newspaper in the five years that have elapsed since we lost him. Paying for polemic that is as tired as Macwhirter's or just downright poor quality isn't something that I can't see me caring for can't time soon.
  13. He seems to be excited and obsessed by me in equal measure. I'm really rather touched by the attention but ever so slightly unnerved by such strange behaviour.
  14. and if you will forgive the torture, it shoots another tory fox that there is a return to the glory days of black fish landings should we be free of the pesky shared scientific imperatives.
  15. The welcher who welched on these charitable bets can surely not stay silent on standard contractual law that required his counter offer. If no such counter offer was annunciated then a contract there was. One would hope that the welcher would retrieve something of his reputation and swiftly reverse the welching.
  16. Ross Laidlaw keep Ross Doohan keep Ross Munro keep Logan Ross keep Carl Tremarco keep Callum Morris keep Keith Watson keep Alex Iacovitti keep Jordan Tillson keep Coll Donaldson keep Josh Reid keep Tom Grivosti keep Ben Williamson keep Michael O'Connor keep Iain Vigurs keep Ross Draper keep Regan Charles-Cook keep Stephen Kelly keep Charlie Lakin keep Harrison Paton keep Don Cowie keep Adam Mackinnon keep Michael Gardyne keep Jermaine Hylton keep Billy McKay keep Ross Stewart keep Oliver Shaw keep Matthew Wright keep
  17. A charitable donation denied whilst previously and solemnly promised is dishonourable indeed.
  18. Indeed. The guy spends his time on the dirty margins of the game and if you fly your feet around too often then don't be surprised if you get shot with the crows.
  19. Don't be. She has packaged the memories and whilst they may not be on display, they still exist. Please don't fuss over the actions of others. If you do, it infers a need for control that you should release yourself from. Sorry if that sounds flippant but please look after yourself rather than obsessing about people that have their own priorities.
  20. I'm sorry but you obviously missed the ongoing joke between Willie Miller and Richard Gordon which was founded upon the former allegedly falling asleep recently. Willie was playing with that. However, the fact that Miller has largely been blessed with knowledge and expertise that is applied to a single geographical sporting construct is something that I don't think can reasonably be denied.
  21. and in the island of Ireland, do we really think this prophecy of catastrophe is going to play out? Thanks for conceding that it is inevitable Scotland will take back control previously ceded to Westminster though. Of course Scotland is in europe, it always has been and the re-established direct lines of communication to Rome, Paris, Dublin etc will cut the inefficiency of of the palace in London.
  22. Aye, ok. (pfft) Whatever time you have invested in your latest epithets has been as ill invested as the outputs have been risible but don't let that stop you repeating yourself.
