    Corbyn was a case of right politics, wrong man. A politician version of Mick Lynch may've suceeded.

    I personally disagree, I think he wa she right man with the right politics which is why the Right Wing media did everything they could to discredit him and the Tories in the Labour Party did as much damage as they did on the inside because they feared the momentum (no pun intended) he was building within the working class and young in England and he was a threat to business and corporations.

    People will laugh at me, but it’s only my opinion, but he’s the best PM we never had imho.

    He's not savvy though and no Labour or Tory leader will offer any sort of referendum now.

    Totally agree, and why would they? They would be committing career suicide if they did. The only reason Cameron sanctioned referendum on Scotland and EU is because is become Yes and Leave were polling so low that it was almost seen as much of a dead cert that they would win, than one of the Old Firm winning the SPL. It was scarily close to be a Yes vote and we all know what happened with the EU referendum. With polls since being about 50/50, no PM in their right mind is going to sanction it, it's too close. The SNP know this (so do Alba) which is why they are looking at other ways to do it.  I'm a firm believer that if the polls were like this in 2014, then Cameron wouldn't have signed the papers in the first place.

    I've been laughed at for this before, but I genuinely think Labour would rather another Conservative government than work with the SNP. It would label them as traitors in England, and the oldies in SLab absolutely hate the SNP beyond the reach of reason. It's the one issue that they might rebel against the head office over, for all the good it would do.

    I would agree with this, given a Tory minority government or a Labour/SNP coalition, I'm convinced Labour would would prefer the first option.

    You need to get online for coverage - there's about seven minutes of highlights per match for every MLS match on the league's youtube channel. Better than the SPFL equivalent (which tends to be about five minutes per match). SPFL youtube also does a nice lower league round up every week which is about half an hour long.

    I didn't know about this, but will check it out. Thanks @Alan Twelve, appreciate it

    Don’t think results are as important the further down the age groups you go. 

    Spot on, it's not. Although you're looking at elite players for those age groups, ultimately it should be viewed as development football and as long as players are developing positively then results simply don't matter in my opinion.

    It would be great to see some kind of crossover tournament between the MLS and Scottish Premiership, as I get the impression that there are still a number of people who think of the American league in similar dismissive terms to how the English press like to refer to Scottish football ("pub league, innit").

    This is quite possibly due to the exposure of it over here though. I searched for Sportscene type highlights show for the MLS a couple of years back and it didn't exist, so if you want to fallow it over here then it's hard to do, so people's ignorance to the standard is not altered from their own perception

    You are thinking of Jim McInally. Jim McIntyre lives central Scotland and if he was to get the job I'd be very happy with it, was doing a very good job at Cove part-time before they sacked them so Sheerin could get his son in law back as manager. 

    He lives in Dunblane I believe. He's known for popping into Forthbank every now and again to watch games so obviously knows a good number of League 1 & 2 players.

  7. As an outsider, I think McInally is probably the best option but I do wonder if he has the desire to go to a club struggling, bit of turmoil in it’s future, lacking in money, whilst travelling from Broughty Ferry, it would he rather just bide his time and keep his fingers crossed that he’s a shout for a job like Forfar IF that was to come up.

    Aitken is a cracking shout, and someone I hoped would take the Stirling job when KR was sacked/walked. Although I’m obviously delighted with Young, I didn’t think he was a realistic appointment, however in Aitken I saw someone who had done well with tight budgets, built winning sides and with the exception of maybe a season at Dumbarton, did really well. Since then he has also failed at EK but I do think he is deserving of another chance and this might be a good route back in for him.

    Danny Jardine officially signs until January.

    Jardine was a cracking player at Stirling. Looked like he could play at a higher level.

    Sounds like it is a gamble worth taking if he can get back to the player he was before his injury. But it does sound as if he isn't there yet.

    Just noticed this, he certainly was and was someone that most of us thought would kick on and maybe get another Full Time gig somewhere, but after going to Uni he's obviously content with Part Time football. If he can get back from his ACL injury and hit the form he had at Forthbank then you've got a good, creative player on your hands. His Dad is a top bloke as well and will no doubt be in and about the supporters in The Wee Bar before and after games.

    Hope it works out for him with you

    I want someone to ask Humza what his next move is when the PM says no again. 

    Reading various articles and watching various clips, the answer to this seems quite simple. The SNP will then turn the Scottish Election into a "defacto referendum" and the more the Westminster Government say no, the more they will play into the the SNP hands, they'll just play the long game. A good number of people have lost faith in the SNP being the route to independence, so it pulls them back onside. I think everyone knows that the PM will continue to say no, he would be a fool to say yes, but if the SNP stand at the Scottish election on the basis that a vote for them is simply a vote on Scottish Independence then there is absolutely no question that they have a mandate for it, when they win.
