Tubbs

didn't realise he was almost 25 no point in us keeping him at that age.

Would a fee be required from Raith if we have offered him a deal???

Stewart is looking to make himself out the 'big guy' with 'honest opinions' as he always does. He managed to mention 'incompetence' and 'Sportscene' without any hint of irony; which says it all. How anyone can talk about that incident without mentioning the player cheating and his manager lying to protect him is beyond me. The problem is that these 'honest opinions' would have consequences whilst any 2 year old can slag off refs.

I prefer to read a Scottish paper . Feel free to add it to the mix; that's what a discussion forum is all about. however, I think I was being quite balanced by questioning the swing of the SoS poll.

Well the wealth out of the UK is entirely speculative our position currently is absolutely clear.

Jenkins writes it off as one of things and that there will be 'peaks and troughs' - which is fair enough. He continues that Scotland is one of the wealthiest countries in the world...................... which to me would seem to be an endorsement of the union. The wealth he is pointing to has been established during 300 years of union, that wealth and the union cant just be a coincidence. Even within the UK he points to us being richer than the UK so hardly a case of Westminster ignoring us and looking after themselves.

Enjoy !

He could have side stepped it or dealt with it in many ways. Turning it into an attack on the integrity of a media he is/was happy to be part of for some dosh is what shows he isn't in step with reality.

Sportsound last night - it will be on the BBC website.

Kenny Shiels is clearly ill and his comments should not be ridiculed.

Yes but in a more unusual and entertaining way than normal................................which was nice.

Tonight we're gonna party like its 1999 ?

There certainly is a great feeling at Cappielow whenever we are there. Unbeaten there in this millennium.

The editorial re the ICM suggests that the doubt over currency, EU etc may be putting people off. I said this yesterday that a lot of the yes campaign is based on claiming everything is straightforward and the separation will be negotiated without too many problems. so while the confrontation with a Tory chancellor will play well with many others just see doubt. the tactic has also put paid to 2 key positions of the yes camp, 1) positive negotiation and 2) that fear is the no campaigns tactic - by playing on the fears of the uk people by threatening to not pick up debt at the very first hurdler disagreement . for me most decent Scots would be absolutely uncomfortable about this even in the context of the debt/asset debate

A straightforward yes or no is the fairest referendum. politicians and the media are making it complicated enough without adding any potential confusion to such a huge vote.

Whilst you make a one sided comment; you are right that the democratic result will not be accepted by some/many on both sides. The question of margin has never really been covered. ie if one side wins by the smallest of margins what happens? For me it is that scenario that is most likely to lead to issues.

Oh sorry, is the point that polls are usually right? My apologies.

Politician doesn't accept poll that doesn't suit him/her ! what next? fire? the wheel?

I think Alex Salmond was the 'victim' of editing. The radio and TV repeatedly all went with the short piece where he said about the black day and also St Andrew's day and then about pride etc. It sounded a bit glib but it was part of a much wider 'speech' which was much more rounded and appropriate.

The most expensive team to be bottom of this division at this staqe?

Haven't seen much mourning to be interupted just folk wanting to tell everyone she was great and expecting 'respect' to mean that no one answers back.

SIR Mark Thatcher! on the news. Didn't know that he had inherited his fathers title. We are all in it together right enough.

Using charity hand outs to accomodate your last few months and the state paying for your funeral - free marketeering or scrounging.

Aye; but apart from that what did she do wrong ?
