That's like totally your opinion man. Luckily for the rest of us you're aren't particularly bright, no luck.

Tbf I agree with this to a certain extent. Sturgeon is a naturally cautious politician, I think she probably has quite big reservation's about calling an Indy ref so soon. However she's also bright enough to know that she simply has no other choice. She's played a blinder throughout the all thing. She's acted in a reasonable and measured manner and is letting the U.K. Gov slit it's own throat. Another referendum is coming, that's for sure. The result at this stage is far from certain, however.

So you're basing your 'suspicions' on absolutely f**k all then. Thought so. You've come up with your non-sensical prediction's because you met a few bright EU nationals in London, once. Right...

What vacuous nonsense. Care to expand on that at all. The Tories will still be in power and we will still be led by an ultra right wing UK Government outwith any kind of EU safeguards. You simply seem unable to accept this. It's sad really.

I keep seeing Unionist's saying a hard brexit won't materialise, despite all the evidence pointing to the contrary. What are you basing this opinion on? A hunch? Or more likely you just don't want to admit that the Union that you hold so dear is pulling Scotland into a dark hole, that we may never get back out of.

You sure? I certainly remember it, at least being quoted in the media, as the 750k figure. I also seem to remember the reason we turned it down was because McGhee made such a big deal over it as a red line issue for him sticking around.

Aye, I agree with you upto a point. However if people don't know what arseholes the tories are by now then they may never come to that realisation. This generation of pensioners will probably never budge, even after their pensions get humped even further. Sturgeons in a tricky position to appease members like myself that believe Brexit presents the best chance possible for Indy but also being sensible about calling it when she thinks she can win. The whole thing is going to be based on Scotlands access to the single market, which the opinion seems to be at the moment that May & Co are telling us to do one. I'm very confident that there will be another Ref in the next few years. Not so confident of winning it.

As I say, it is my belief that there will be another referendum before the end of 2019.

There will be another referendum before the end of 2019. I'm ITK don't you know.

You didn't say that though did you? You presented it as fact. I'm 'just guessing' but you made it up to fit your petty, small minded shite.

You just made that up, didn't you?

Just death then. You're taking this very well.

You seem rattled.

I appreciate Mcdonald's contribution to the team in regards to his leadership qualities and improving the players around him. It'd be pretty hard to argue that he wasn't an important player for us last season. However it would also be disingenuous not to admit the fact that there were quite a number of games where he couldn't even make a five yard pass. Myself personally, with Mcdonald at 33, would have been tempted to gamble on El Baktoui, who may or may not have more of a sell on value. It would have been a gamble no doubt as you know what you're getting with Mcdonald but it's worked for me in Football Manager and if that isn't proof of my theory then I don't know what is.

I'll take that bet, thank you.

I'm not sure someone who can't even grasp the quote function on a football website should be judging who's smarter than who tbf.

A point on the Tories scaremongering on NPS. It's emerged today that the only Tory led council in Scotland(south Ayrshire) has said that implementation of the scheme in their area has been "generally positive" and "good practice". So not only did Ruth Davidson and co not oppose the legislation in Parliament, now their only council is saying it's working well. Yet we have political scare stories like Mundell's rambling's last night. I think it is pretty sick really that you would use a scheme that has child protection at it's heart as a political football. Things like this really do have potential negative effect's for child care moving forward.

Every child will have a named person that much is correct. However the vast majority of kids will never know the person in that capacity. If there is no danger to that child there is no problem. The named person will act as a single point of contact for the child or the parents, instead of the child being directed to pillar and post, which is some cases stop's preventative measures coming in until they're too late. The parents(unless there's conclusive proof of harm) are in no way obliged to accept the advice the named person gives them. The argument that it is unworkable is also nonsense. I work in the Highlands and the scheme has been rolled out here for the last 6 years with good results. It is because of the success of the scheme in places like the Highlands that it is being rolled out nation wide. It is good legislation imo. There may be an element of truth that the SNP have failed to explain it properly but on these matters I think it's important to do your own reading anyway and no I don't mean reading the newspapers.

I would suggest that it's a bit of a stretch to say Michelle Thomson was rubbered by 'everyone'. McGarry is certainly the more unstable of the two however and has needed far more in the way of support of colleagues/friends.
