You can spin the Humza whatever way you like...he also has previous with his 'line one, page one in our manifesto..do you want Scotland to be an Independent nation'.
The GE tactic is still to push a win of any kind (even by 1 seat) as a 'clear' mandate to say 'The people of Scotland have spoken and backed Independence. Therefore we will now negotiate the terms of that with the UK govt'. That is how it is being sold to the public
Whether in those circumstances 'the terms' became another Ref, or, read another way from his own comments, that there is then a mandate to draw up a Withdrawal agreement doesn't really matter.
The fact remains that he enters the election on the basis that (any) SNP win is a trigger for Scotland to then be an Independent country.
Question is...are they in good shape now for that to become a reality this year?
That is a long winded way for you to admit you were wrong

Utd huffing and puffing their way to the title in an absolute shitfest of a game is spot on for the season.

i don't know why a team would offer Kelly a contract to be number 1. He has been horrific and shat his pants live on the BBC vs Morton.
I can see him re-signing with us just because it is the path of least resistance. Same way Obika was signed.

If the SNP get through the two votes with no casualties, all they have to do is propose a couple of credible, popular policies that have to go to a vote in the chamber.
If they get through, it sends a signal that they are still a capable government.
What is more likely, Sarwar will be so thick, he’ll block it, making him look like he’s siding with Conservatives. The Conservatives will block it because they have no credibility and nothing to lose anyway.
Surviving with no casualties and coming up with sensible policies may be the biggest challenge to that plan. Ross being a dick and Sarwar being dense as f**k are a given.So what you are saying is this is Willie Rennie's moment?

Best outcome is 64:64...he gets to stay on, claiming a 'moral' victory or some such, as he no doubt will, and puts Reagan into the Cabinet in exchange for support.
He then gets to the GE, and meanwhile at Holyrood limps along trying to scrabble together issue by issue votes.
The Tories have already shat it on a no confidence vote in the govt. It is now a personal vote on Humza.
Parties don't like leaders of opposite parties shocker. Maybe there be a string of votes in the confidence of Ross, Sarwar, Harvie and Rennie and see what the numbers are like.
It would be a complete farce if the smaller parties could topple the leader of the scottish parliament on their whim since the system was designed to represent the diverse views of scotland and therefore unlikely there would be a majority.

The Bute House agreement was one of the worst bits of politics Nicola ever did and it is perhaps a shame she is out the door before it blows up in the SNP's face.
There was absolutely no need for there to be a formal agreement and joint cabinet. Was Patrick Harvie really going to topple the govt over not getting a ministerial bike?
Humza ditching the Greens isn't a bad move imo.

Wings Over Scotland tweeting that Ash Regan is going to back the SNP.
Not a surprise.
I think Humza wins. The exclusively scottish parties don't want the chance of an election before the GE. Let the SNP get pummeled at the Westminster elections and try to position as the new party for Scotland at the Holyrood elections.
And do Alba really want to be seen working with the Tories? Isn't that the exact thing that sent the SNP into the wilderness until Salmond revived the party?

The club is worth way more than £3m. And not paid up over installments.
Should be a complete non starter.

What does this have to do with anything. Your house is worth X but you only earn Y so you have to give someone a discount to buy it off you?

Or not.
Some comeback.
Man Utd losing 3 goals in 25 minutes to coventry is a shambles. They have been outplayed here.

Carter Vickers is in the motion of playing the ball when Hoilet sticks his leg in front of Carter Vickers'.
Exactly the same thing happened when Rangers had a goal chalked off in the first Old Firm game of the season. St Mirren also had a very similar one against Rangers last season when Ayunga did the same the Goldson. And Rangers against Dortmund (?) a few years ago.
We can argue over whether it should be a foul, but by the rules it is.
CCV didn't have the ball under control. And Hoilet playes the ball before he got kicked.

Hoilet has missed a couple himself put he has put 2 on a plate. Ridiculously good crosses

Oof.
Almost a carbon copy.

So why did Robertson point to the spot ?
He pointed to the foul that happened in the middle of the 6 yard box

Robertson gave a free kick for the aerial challenge I think? Just incompetent enough to point to the spot, where the challenge was.
That is what i think too. He played on to see what happened then gave the free kick for the aerial challenge.

Literally, Anthony Gordon won a penalty for Newcastle against West Ham for that. Our game is absolutely fucked.
one of the worst decisions of all time.

Did robertson give a foul in the middle of the box instead of Hoilett/CCV tackle?

Just pathetic all round. Unable to close down decrepit James Forrest then Roos going down in installments

Isn't Andrew Dallas the head VAR ref or some shit. But obviously not in charge of referees as a whole.

Apparetly they were going to have to give the camper van back but one of the coppers has got dibs on it for the Euros so they had to pull Pete back in.
