She’s going out to a fancy dress.
Is this kinda thing suitable for an non single woman to be wearing?
Definitely not imo. Good score though she's hot.

Andrew Neil will go through every single one of the charlatan leaders standing at this election in a similar manner. Some fairly, some not quite so fairly. But (I think) he deals mainly in facts and their own quotes.
The really disappointing thing from tonight’s episode is the number of Nicola’s fanboys on here throwing themselves over the puddle to protect her.
(And if anyone wants to take issue with the factual aspects of Neil’s interview tonight, feel free to share where he was unfair...)
It’s 30mins of tv that 90% of the voting population didn’t see. It’s not pivotal. But you did. And yet it persuades no one on here to question the capability of their dear leader? Hmmm...When she pointed out that waiting times in Scotland are a lot lower than England or Wales he instantly dismissed it saying that's not much comfort to someone in A and E that they won't have to wait as long as someone in Grimsby.
That was deeply unfair, highly partisan and belied his own bias and hatred of the SNP. If you want to hold her to account for the things that are not going well on health you have to also acknowledge the things they are doing well. A balanced interview would do that, and perhaps allow her to.expand on that a little.

Ok. But surely that’s a legitimate question and some indicator of capability once everything is at Holyrood?It is but it's allowing the unionist press to score cheap points on areas.not affected by this election and as such is a subversion of democracy. The same way the likes of Scottish Labour campaigning on health and education in this election is too.

Disagree. As much as the NHS in Scotland isn't on the table per se in this election, having a well funded NHS in rUK is ultimately a good thing for Scotland because it breeds a caring society throughout the UK. Scots should be opposed to NHS privatisation even if it doesn't affect NHS Scotland directly.
True but trolling Nicola about her governments record on health is out of order given it's a devolved issue and this is a general election. No matter what the result the same people will be running the SNHS the day after the election.

For the avoidance of doubt I'm no cheerleader for the SNP, but I try to view things in the round. I've also no problem with robust criticism but Sturgeon and the SNP are now having to deal with agendas way beyond that, or do you approve of Unionist electioneering which is becoming thinly-veiled hatred in numerous constituencies ?
That can be dealt with, but the levels of self-loathing in such a small nation are much more of a concern, to put it mildly.
Underpinning all of it is fear of course; fear of their personal situation being prejudiced; fear of the break-up of the British state; fear that all the shibboleths they have held dear would be exposed as dogshit by independence; fear of the other.
And when we get fear, it's partner is irrationality. Like describing the SNP's stewardship of the Scottish NHS as 'criminal' and blaming Sturgeon personally for contaminated water. Holy f**k.Its also pretty poor to focus on health in a GE when health is not an issue as it's devolved.

Very easy to spot those in favour of Scottish Independence on this thread and those against.
I've seen Neil getting the better of many politicians over the years - we all knew he would give Nicola came a hard time, and he did, I still thought she came through it pretty well.
It will be interesting to see how tomorrow night goes with Neil v Corbyn.
I'm a huge fan of independence and tbh l thought she was poor. Probably the worst I've seen her. I bet Salmond would have handled that much better.

Not sure if frothing at the mouth counts as real interviewing, heads gone rant at the end. All easily dealt with of course. Boris Johnson seems to be the only party leader to refuse an invitation to his show.
I actually don't think Nicola did very well but it's difficult to do that when he is shouting over all her answers.

It's pretty much unwatchable.
Asks a question, then answers it himself. Constant interruptions to the point any responses just get lost.
Its not productive or informative at all.
Performs the purpose he wants it to though. He's the most raging of all raging Britnats.

Repeated failure. Lol
He's on his third Tory leader, got a huge vote total in 2017 and has up until now blocked a Tory Brexit. He has also completely shifted the Overton window and proven the popularity of anti war politics.
Shite opposition leaders are Kinnock, Hague, Howard, IDS and sadly Ed Milliband.
He's about to lose his second election in a row to the worst Tory government of all time though isn't he?

Picture is of Scottish cabinet. Yet scotgov have not taken a single payrise since 2008-9 and donate their rise each year to charity.

This is probably the best United performance of this millennium.
Wow, what a team. Incredible to think of the quality of player we had then.

The "outsider looking in" always needs to remember that they will always have no idea what they are talking about before giving their opinion.
Maybe, but it's simple reality third is the best Aberdeen can possibly hope to achieve and that's where Aberdeen are.
I asked one of those people who seemingly do know what they're talking about above what he thinks McInnes should be doing that he isn't, he wasn't able to name anything, not one thing. I think.that tells its own story.

Have a look back at that table I posted.
So, again, what has changed in 18 months that now makes it impossible?
Rangers have changed, that's what. There's no chance of finishing above them now.

I know Jocky Scott quite well actually. They were in charge when Celtic we're imploding, very similar to Rangers these last few years.

Mince pies and Christmas Cake are both absolutely disgusting.
Christmas dinner (traditional one with turkey, potato and veg etc) is boring, stodgy nonsense and the most over-rated meal of the year.
In short, Christmas is a bad time for eating.
Totally agree, mince pies and xmas pudding are utterly bowfin.

Fairly bowfin. Could do with a lot less yellow.

What objectives are we exceeding (given the main rivals you stated earlier have self destructed most of the season)?
Sorry if you find my criticism 'week' but it isn't a simple case of 'it might get worse in future'. It's performing an assessment of the team based on what I've seen to date and there are definitely warning signs. Clearly you haven't read the multiple times I've stated I'm a supporter of Mcinnes and think he can improve things.
In any case, your original argument was that Mcinnes is the greatest thing since sliced bread so the board shouldn't bother criticising or asking for more because Aberdeen should just be grateful. This would be a failing in any workplace regarding a key role, never mind an environment such as football.
Well I don't see what more the board could reasonably ask for.
What would you suggest he should be doing that he isn't? I think the best they could ask for is more of the same, if he can keep Aberdeen where he has taken them that would be fantastic and a huge success.
By continually doing this and not having one bad season so far, that is exceeding expectations.

I don’t think anyone believes AFC are under performing by being third.
All things being equal 3rd, 4th, 5th is where AFC, Hearts & Hibs should be given their budgets. When they underperform they’ll fall below that mark or when others over perform, as with Kilmarnock last season, who according to your own logic shouldn’t be anywhere near AFC given a budget about a third of Aberdeen’s budget.
What Aberdeen need is an exceptional coach. They don’t have one at the moment. They have a good coach who has them meeting expectations in the league…and that’s all. If they could land an exceptional manager then maybe they could get in about the Uglies just as Kilmarnock got in about Aberdeen.
Dropping a third of the points available against bottom six sides ain't gonna do it.
The trick, of course, is finding that exceptional coach.
Good post but getting in about the uglies just isn't gonna happen. You could appoint Klopp Guardiola and Mourinho in a managerial triumvirate they still couldn't get Aberdeen within ten points of second.
If you did manage to find such an exceptional coach, assuming one exists which personally I don't believe, he either wouldn't take the Aberdeen job or he'd be gone within nine months if he did.
My concern in this is Scottish football. I don't have any great animosity towards Aberdeen, I think it's important for Scottish football to have a healthy Aberdeen partially bridging the gap between the old firm and everyone else. You have a manager doing that, and I fear he will eventually be hounded out by Aberdeen fans because of their unrealistic expectations.

Ah yes, I remember them.
On face value 3rd is meeting the seasons objectives. Dig a little deeper (or watch us) and we could be doing much better. We're 14 games in and find ourselves in 3rd due to plenty teams slitting their own throats at every turn. The warning signs are there that 3rd is far from guaranteed.
That's a pretty week attempt at criticism. 'We might not do as well in the near future as we're doing now' is hardly an indictment.
I would accept Aberdeen aren't playing particularly well right now, but neither are Liverpool and they're on their way to a title win. And to be meeting (I would say exceeding) objectives whilst not playing well is the sign of a very good team and a very good manager.

I am a supporter of Mcinnes but he is underperforming by his own standards. This is not up for debate for anyone who watches us regularly.
And no offence...but your comments suggest you have barely watched us at all. If I had to guess I would say you were an OF fan with the dinosaur mentality that all diddies should be creaming their pants at sitting in 3rd place (after 14 games FFS).
'Deluded self entitlement of a typical Aberdeen fan' also suggests you are not worth the time of day.
I'm a Dundee United fan actually. So if three points clear in third is underperforming, where do you think Aberdeen should be right now?

I do believe he's been a success and a hugely positive figure for the club, outstanding and massive may be going a little over the top though.
To give balance to your argument...In the current climate finishing third is meeting our objectives, it isn't similar to winning the title. And we did finish 4th last season behind Kilmarnock. We can't expect to finish above the OF but we can expect to have a level of consistency against the rest of the league which keeps us reasonably in touch. We can also expect that our efforts against those sides would be significantly better than they have been in our two pathetic attempts this season.
Cups have been positive in the number of finals/semi finals we've been in but there's been some noteable failures too.
But ultimately, he can't just be judged on historic achievements. He is the best we've had since Fergie but it's fair to say he is not performing to that level currently. It isn't healthy in any organisation for there to be a prevailing attitude of 'we can't do any better so we'll turn a blind eye to the fact they're under-performing'. People need incentivised to keep building on success.
I believe he can salvage it over time but others don't. There is no doubt things need to improve.
No offence but I think that's just the deluded self entitlement of a typical Aberdeen fan who thinks they're a big club when they're not. Aberdeen are not underperforming, they're sitting third right now. That's as good as they can possibly hope to be.
They are three points clear at the top of the table right now, whilst rebuilding a team yet again. That's absolutely outstanding from McInnes and in many ways he is a victim of his own success as he has raised expectations so far Aberdeen fans don't see that as good, when it's as good as it's ever going to get and as good as it's been for the last thirty years.
it's also completely unreasonable to say third is simply meeting your objectives, you have very very similar budget to Hibs and Hearts, less than a million in it, and they don't have the need to spend massively on infrastructure like you do.
So to consistently finish above them every season and also everybody else too (Killie an outlier last season due to a fantastic manager) is top drawer and not simply meeting your objectives. It's not reasonable to make your objectives always finishing above two clubs that have identical budgets to you and labelling it failure of you don't. That's consistently overachieving if anything.
