    Fitzy, for all he's a wonderful guy who loves the club, is not Brian Caldwell and another Brian Caldwell type was what we needed when he left. Caldwell sold this club to guys like Gary Teale, Stevie Thompson

    Caldwell and Teale were friends from Caldwell's days at Ayr. Steven Thompson would have come back to St. Mirren regardless, Caldwell wasn't the reason! :lol:

    What players would that be ? The ones who hauled us back from the bottom of the championship and a miraculous relegation escape, or the players that romped to the championship title last season. 

    Jack Ross gave me 2 of the best years supporting the club.

    Cammy Smith, Ian McShane, Adam Eckersely, Jordan Kirkpatrick

    The rest of your post is irrelevant!

  3. Interesting to think what the political landscape would be just now had Remain won....

    Support for UKIP would probably have surged. Some Tory MPs would defected to UKIP, leaving David Cameron requiring a coalition (with the DUP?) and we'd be looking at a general election next year with the prospect of UKIP winning loads of seats.

    Would have been entertaining.

    Am I allowed to count Queen of the South? Or do they not count either?

    Regardless, he's the best striker we've had in years.

    All the strikers you've had must have been real bad! :lol:

    Well, yeah, world class is a synonym for elite. If you aren't part of the elite then you aren't world class.

    Also noticed The Guardian's top 100 players that just came out doesn't feature Robertson but has a handful of left backs in it shows that, for most folk, he's not in the top 3 left backs in the world.

    He's left back for the league leaders of the richest league in the world.

    That makes him world class.

    We're doing that now, yet you seem fine with soldiering on under one flag but not the other.

     

    I am less convinced it'd necessarily involve austerity in the Scottish case, though the SNP obsession with relying on the BoE would need to be dealt with.

     

     

     

    Two wrongs don't make a right!

    Your second sentence is an admission that I'm right!

    I might be off the mark but I think this is what Labour need.

    DUP have been seething about May for ages and saying they can't back her as PM. Guarantee she's in place and that is likely going to be enough for them to back a VONC in the government right this instant. That then means that they can trigger the vote over the next two days, win and then it gives the government, controlled by May, 2 weeks to fight for their existence with either the incumbent or an interim leader. If they don't resolve it by that deadline, parliament gets dissolved and there is likely a new election at the end of January. The Tories would potentially be fighting that election with no leader or one in which the party hates to an extent where a substantial number of the parliamentary party have voted against and the base also hates. It's the dream scenario.

    Maybe the Tories secretly want another election to be trounced so they can wash their hands of this issue without dishonouring the party and being the people responsible for Corbyn etc. I would imagine that they are well aware of this scenario (the DUP will have warned them) and it's all to play for this evening. It presents a risk but even a shit new leader can at least have the space to get them onto an election footing.

    DUP would back May in a VONC IMO.

    Labour won't call VONC as they also believe DUP will back May and even, if they didn't, they are behind the Tories in the polls so may well lose another GE!

    This is either an argument for circling the drain with England forever or a serious effort to rebalance Scottish trade to be resilient to unstable neighbours.

    One of those options sounds sensible to me.

    "circling the drain"

    "to be resilient"

    "unstable"

    Your own made up phrases.

    The key word you use, however, is "rebalance". This is code for decades of recession, stagnation and austerity in an attempt to get back to where we currently are. ;)

    Doesn't sound like a sensible option to me.
