Think that's so they don't have the 28 day limit to replacing him.
Yeah, that'll be right. They should've arranged someone (the likes of Swinney) to step in though.
They'll have another out in the open, leadership election, where they'll probably tear shreds off each other.
Edit to include: I'm guessing Swinney was asked and said no.

Staying on while they have a leadership election doesn't seem like a wise move.

Not for me I'm afraid. I don't see a foul there. He's under pressure from Dessers and just has to be stronger. He goes down, right in front of Hemming, impeding him getting anywhere near it.
A shame as Bolton has been excellent for us since nailing down his spot, but I'm looking for him to do better there.
This is how I see it. Bolton has to be stronger there. Couldn't fault him for the first goal - that's unlucky, but he needs to do better at the second.
Disappointing l, as I thought over the piece we actually defended quite well. Dessers didn't get much change out of Gogic all game. Just two daft errors that cost us.

Resigning at high noon then. What a cluster f**k this last few days has been, even by SNP standards. He clearly believed he was going to stay on as FM at the end of last week. The wise old men within the SNP have obviously had a word with him over the weekend and told him he's finished and here we are.
The worst FM in Scottish history IMO.
I'm curious to know who these people are.

The Greens are looking more and more like a less competent version of a Bowling Club committee.
I cant really take seriously the notion of Ross Greer as some Machiavellian puppet master.
I listened to James O'Brien's podcast earlier, where he interviewed Caroline Lucas. I've always been pretty impressed with her, and I was again listening to it. Intelligent, thoughtful, interesting, humble. She seems like she'd be an easy person to work with.
Then I thought about the absolute clowns in charge of the Scottish Greens. Actual morons, who love the sound of their own voice, that think they are far more important and capable than they are.
Andy Wightman was an intelligent and formidable guy for the Scottish greens but other than that, they're either idiots or no marks.

At the end of the season...
"Super Zach Hemming can go."
Poor for the first goal today. The second one too, although Bolton fell into him. He still had a few decent saves.
I think he's had a good season overall, I'd be happy enough if he was still here next season.

Do St. Mirren fans really think fourth is completely out of reach? It is a bit of a long-shot I suppose, especially seeing as Sevco have just taken the lead, but it's not completely wild to think that before we play each other in Paisely you could be within three or five points of the mighty Killie. Win that, and it would be squeaky bum time for us going into the last week of the season.
We'd need to win some games first. Played well today but ultimately no points.

Sore one there. Sloppy defending has cost us. Rangers were there for the taking today.

Cant take someone out at head height and complain that a foul is given.

Must be some money laundering or something going on. He is absolutely dog shit.

Such a disappointing goal to lose, as Rangers had only really threatend with shots from outside the box.
Rangers look don't look like they're up for a scrap here, so we need to keep getting at them.

That's a couple of crosses Hemming has flapped at so far. Looks shaky.

When I heard Kettlewell describing it on the radio I pictured something similar to Yang's sending off against Celtic. Then watching it this morning, you could maybe quibble over whether it's a yellow or a red, but it's a poor challenge.
All the patter about Kettlewell 'speaking well' and 'being honest', is a lot of nonsense. He talks pish and uses 100 words when he could use 10.

I was listening when they did this. I can’t for the life of me remember exactly what the last quote in the montage was, but it was something like a pundit (presumably talking about the game they were at that day) saying “this has been terrible, a real lack of quality on show today” and then went straight to the trail ending with a voiceover saying “Saturday afternoons with Sportsound”.
I thought it was a strange quote with which to finish the trail then I wondered if an editor had stitched them up on purpose…
I think it was Derek Adams' infamous interview.

They've just put a wee montage of, presumably what they think is, the best bits of Sportsound this season. It was essentially 2 mins of clips of them bickering.

What was the trigger for all of this? The climate targets?
My guess is that many in the Greens can see that Yousaf isn't that popular and they wanted an out. If he'd been riding high in the polls they'd have swallowed the climate targets being ditched.

Environmental issues are not at the top of my political agenda, but I’m probably more closely aligned with people like Harvie and Slater than I am with Kate Forbes, John Mason, Fergus Ewing and the other right wing homophobes who will no doubt be delighted with this move.
I can see the SNP losing support from a lot of younger and more progressive voters as a result of this.
It will be interesting to see any further visible lurch to the right as Harvie was predicting.
One thing I picked up on when Harvie spoke was that he said, the SNP members had rejected the right of the party. I mean, he might be technically right, but Forbes still picked up nearly half the vote, despite being quite open about her feelings on same sex marriage and abortion.

Will personally have cost Harvie and Slater a fair bit of bunce, 34k each - they'll be boiling about that
Can't imagine there will be a queue of people willing to pay them that sort of salary again.

He should've got rid of the Greens weeks ago, this was always likely to happen. If he had, he might have come out with a bit of credibility with the wider public.
Also, is it just me or does Yousaf sound so patronising when he speaks? Like someone who's gone into a primary school to talk about their job. I've just had to turn the radio off. For a career politician who'll have had no end of media training, he's not very good at it.

You're up against Dundee, one of us has to be successful however bizarre that seems...
Watch as we pip you to 5th and then get denied a UEFA license for the pitch or something.
At least then we could all be raging together. That would feel quite natural at least.

That was my thought as well watching the Ross County game. I thought Olusanya did a good job first half at Parkhead at getting us the park and causing their defence some problems, albeit too far away from goal. Unfortunately, Rangers have gone some way to rectifying the issue their side since by benching Goldson. Can only hope he is back for this game but I doubt it.
I'd imagine they'll stick with the team that kept a clean sheet against Hearts. Souttar is a good player but I always feel he has a mistake in him, and whilst Balogun was excellent on Sunday, there's a reason why he's not been a mainstay in the team this season.
As always in these games, we'll need to be at our best and Rangers will have to have an off day if we're to pick anything up. I think we have players that can cause them problems though, I just hope we can find a bit of cutting edge that we've often lacked in these games.

Ross County did it so hopefully Sir Stephen was watching and can use the same tic tacs and give these bigots a pumping.
3-0 Saints (McEwan, Ferguson, Wishart)
I'd have Olusanya watching exactly what Simon Murray did, it seemed like a text book performance against them.
We've not really got close to either Celtic or Rangers this season (possibly the 2-1 defeat at Parkhead), so hopefully we can cause them some problems this weekend.

I'm in primary, which I imagine is somewhat different, but our policy is phones are switched off and handed in to the class teacher at the start of the day and kept in a locked cupboard. Having a phone out at any point during the day is an instant lunchtime reflection.
Whats a lunchtime reflection? Is it just a detention with a slightly more positive slant on the word? Or is it something different?

Maybe I've misunderstood. I think having a leadership election is a bad move for the SNP.
Maybe it'll end up in a coronation of someone.
To me, it made more sense to get their ducks in a row and have someone ready to step in. They've possibly got that and I have no idea what I'm talking about.
