Highlandmagyar 2nd String

No guarantee we would bounce back. Hibs, Dundee Utd recently. St.Mirren? I'd much prefer to keep our top flight status than win a cup, if that was the option.

If you mean by during the GE, then correct. But as soon as EU referendum result was announced the SNP went into overdrive regards a new referendum. The opposition parties done a better job of tapping into the soft no vote in the GE than SNP did and it cost them votes and seats. A year of constant in your face referendum calls only put soft no voters backs up and it was easy pickings for the Tories, and shamefully Labour walked right into Davidson's lair. Any Labour voters who cast a vote for a Tory should hang there head in shame.

Why not try Penrice with Devine and move Barton into the middle with Edwards.

I accept that was the case. But the constant Independence shouting since the referendum in people's face is a major factor in the SNP losing so many seats last month.

I am only interested in what is good for Scotland and the UK as a whole. I prefer to stay in the UK. I am annoyed that the Independence referendum drum is being belted out constantly. By all means you keep the message going,but there has undoubtedly been a backlash against the SNP by the issue being constantly thrust in your face. People can be lead,but not driven. Keep the message subtle and it will seep through. Bide your time and Independence is inevitable. I have mentioned a few times that Independence doesn't scare me,but the way it is constantly thrown at us as seemingly the only issue in Scotland has made the likes of me recoil at it. It's a pity as there is definitely a hatred for the Tories up here,me included and the SNP haven't fully garnered that as they should have. Bloody mindedness on all sides has led to a supposed resurgence of the Tories up here, when under the present despicable Conservative party it should have been buried. Of course asaLabour voter and member it pains me to see that our party is a shambles up here. As for Labour under Corbyn re the UK, yes, they done well in the last election, but don't kid yourself. If the Tories get a half competent leader they will regaintheir majority at Westminster.

I'm a unionist and I am certainly not dismayed if this true.

Would never take a relegation for a cup win, me personally.
