Fide your dead right for once in your life. The GERS figures do show how badly Scotland is being run as part of the UK at the moment, by a totally incompetent FM and her SNP ministers.

Some common sense on the politics forum for a change well said sir.

Hmmm I think your the moron mate. The clear facts are if Scotland were an independent country either spending would have to be cut drastically or taxes would have to increase drastically. Until the SNP and its supporters come out and say vote for independence and put your hand in your pocket then you Can't believe a word they say, end of.

Instead of the tribal nonsense of SNP are brilliant and all unionist politicians are morons can someone please explain how 1. After independence we would not financially be worse off. 2. How do we replace the loss of oil revenue 3. What currency do we use 4. Who would be the head of state 5. Join the EU when UK have left and all the problems that causes 6. Keep companies that trade mostly with England in Scotland rather than them leaving the country 7. Do we ultimately join the euro and pass a lot of financial control to the Germans 8. Would we still be able to afford the higher spend per head without raising taxes 9. Would border control posts be erected on the A74 10. Unemployment might rise with job losses in defence, financial services etc. i could go on and on.......

Grow up mate

Fair enough that's a better summary. I'm so fed up with everyone jumping on the SNP bandwagon and believing that all their candidates are the best candidates. Also it appears that to criticise "the party" is not allowed in this forum. But I will bow to your greater appreciation of all the candidates regardless of party.

Great summary of the candidates here, everyone according to you is a total moron with the obvious exception of the fantastic SNP candidate. This is typical of the "one party state" mentally of Nationalist supporters. No matter who they are or what they believe in if they stand for the SNP then they are the best candidate. The biggest moron here mate is you with your weird cult we are always right attitude.

Personally I think he is better than Flemming but not a lot in it. Good signing by Aitken btw.

Dumbarton will finish in the bottom two probably tenth. They may well win a play off but I would very much doubt it. Ayr will also struggle and most likely will finish in the bottom two probably 9th and probably lose the play off. Despite this both Aitken and McCall are good managers and are only constrained by their respective budgets.

Aitken is a good manager getting rid would not solve Dumbarton's problems. To avoid the drop this season will take a minor miracle but you can't blame it all on the manager.

Good to see that it's not going to be a straight 2 horse race between us and Dumbarton for 9th and 10th with both Morton and QOS looking particularly weak. Looking forward to the battle.

I agree with Mr X this type of signing should be stamped out of our game. Clubs are entitled to compensation and if we are going to encourage clubs to grow their own youngsters then this must be adhered to by all clubs. SFA should take action against clubs that break this rule imo and that includes my own club.

Need a reality check mate your squad is currently weaker than all the teams above.

As things stand you guys have a weaker squad than all of the above you need a major dose of reality.

Wasn't Ayr that was sniffing around the Alloa players so must have been Dumbarton

Massive gamble by Aitken and he's probably used up Nade's salary securing him. If he can get Stevo fit and played in the right position, something McCall failed to achieve then you could have a fantastic player on your hands. However, if he is still lacking mobility then his contribution will be free kicks and long range screamers. Good luck Stevo you'll always be a legend in my book.

Good luck in the play off final against the k**lie.

Don't think there is any real debate about budgets, Dunfermline are the biggest team in the league with the largest support, therefore, if everything else is equal they will have the biggest budget. Just for the record I think Dunfermline will win the league but hope Ayr can run you close and get promoted via the play off. Both clubs should be playing in the league above, without question.

I guarantee by October you'll be screaming for a new keeper. This might actually be the signing that costs you the league!

Thought he was a decent player when he played against us at Somerset for Arbroath, we won the game but Cook was the best player on the pitch. I'm quite surprised that he has never really performed consistently for one club.
