Isnt it jolly fortunate that the profits from skint old Scotlands worthless natural resources were available to be raided by the chancellor today to help with the cost of living crisis?
The vast majority of BP's profits come from overseas extraction. Nothing to do with domestic energy bills or domestic FF production.

Absolutely incredible from the Salerno fans and what an achievement considering where they were in the table a few months ago.

Thinking of nations in Europe which have become independent or regime free, specifically Czechoslovakia splitting after the Hypher War in 1993, or even Portugal after the Carnation Revolution in 1974, that wasn't really the case. Perhaps you are basing your thoughts on countries which overcame colonialism by, for example, the British (Empire), but that wouldn't be a good comparison with likely Scottish developments.
Havel was instrumental in the Velvet revolution and the direct successor party of the one he founded has been the most successful electorally in the new Czech state so I'm not really sure what you are referring to there.
Similar situations with Poland, Croatia and Slovenia.
Now you could say it is a very different situation as we aren't going to be a post-communist state. But it is a pattern that exists.

It's quite a leap to assume the first 5-10 years of Independence would be led by the SNP. The structure of every political party in Scotland would alter markedly, some would no longer exist.
Don't think it's much of a stretch at all. It's very common for the party that achieves independence to be rewarded with power for a decent while after.

Never read this thread before. Cheers guys the last few pages have been very enjoyable reading.
Any thoughts on if someone like Lewis Ferguson were to have attended how that would go down?
Lewis Ferguson was in attendance and supporting us on the night.

Im not a SNP supporter(Indy voter but not alba)and up until about a year ago I thought they ran things better than labour did or anyone else.. I have realised now with some history and hindsigt that they dont run things any better. What has improved things slightly is a devolved governmet what would improve things sightly more is an independent government. The snp isnt any better than any other party but the structure of independence would be better even if its just slightly better.
There really isn't much of a reason to believe that independent government would mean any improvement if you don't trust the SNP. Ultimately what it would just mean is that the SNP would be in power for 5-10 years with less money to actually govern with.

Which players do folk think it wouldn't be a disaster to lose in the transfer window, and who is a "must keep, ffs!"?
Out of the players most likely to leave due to contract situations (Morelos, Kent and Aribo) it goes a bit like this in terms of the priority of who must be kept:
1 - Kent
2 - Morelos
3 - Aribo
In fact I'd be actively looking to sell Aribo. If any of them don't re-sign then they must be sold anyway. We can't let another Goldson situation happen imo.

translation: we are ready to help you retake Transnistria, you've got our number why don't you use it...
The Moldovans genuinely don't want Transnistria back is the thing. One of the most bizarre places in Europe and just ridiculously underdeveloped.

How are Jambos thinking about that line up? Seems like a strong line up in defence to me but could be that they might be a bit knackered or not ready to start...

About to head off for the train to Hampden. My son's first ever game.
Can't wait.
Hopefully an enjoyable first game for the lad. Enjoy!

120 mins in the high 30s and such a narrow defeat, just my opinion but I think the players will be shattered mentally and physically.
I got the impression on Wednesday that Roofe would have broken down if he over did it.
I think we will see a bit of rotation from Wednesday that could make a fair bit of difference. I'd like to see Lowry involved today after his strong performance at Tynecastle.

Tan is still holding up and will be added to after Tuesday. I had a great holiday and go to visit two cities I've never been to before.
Ultimately it was a coin toss game. I'm not feeling as gutted now as I'd thought I'd be.

Last time we played under similar circumstances we struggled against Qots, our best bet is probably to play a few of the younger players who'll be full of energy and desperate to make an impression.
Wasn't close to the same. Our schedule back in 2008 was much more punishing. And neither did we get some respite with playing fringe and youth players in the league games.
We should be expecting to win this today. Ultimately I think it depends on how the manager sets up. Surely Roofe is fit to start here.

I'm so shattered. Had to sprint out the stadium and across most of Seville to catch my bus. Then got about 3 hours sleep in a bumpy 6 hour bus back to Madrid. And now I'm working
Gutting game and end to it really. So close to winning that and I think Kent should buried that chance at the end.
I also don't understand why GVB didn't get Roofe on earlier. Having an actual striker who knows where to run made a difference in that last bit of ET. Ah well.

Bypass the press to Kamara and Aribo.
Match up man for man out of possession.
Take our chances at set pieces (they will come).
Be lucky.

Good to see you back. I completely agree that set pieces are where we can create some real chances.
All about keeping Kostic quiet.
Roofe will be on the bench. I'd be very surprised if he started. Otherwise that team looks very close to what GVB might go with.

Weird but I'd rather have the experience of the current Davis, I wouldn't change our midfield to bring back Barry.
Davis became a better player when he went down to England. More of a real centre midfielder controller.
His legs of 2008 combined with his brain of 2021 would be ridiculous.

Serious FOMO vibes here; however. I’ve got 3 pals over there in various places from Seville to Portugal. But I’ve also got one that tells me it’s a 7hr bus trip each way from Benidorm to Seville and back.
I admire their stamina but, for me, that’s a wee bit too much, win or lose. Imagine the bus rides back? Not for me. I’ll watch it in the boozer and wake up in my own bed. I must be getting old!
I'm getting the bus back from Seville to Madrid after the game as well. Leaves 00:45 Thursday and back at about 07:15. Then I'm working a half day

Yep. "The House I Live In" is an absolutely devastating documentary on the subject. One of the creators (David Simon, iirc*)states early on that we are witnessing "a new Holocaust". Like you (probably), I immediately thought "hyperbole" - then the film proceeded to put all those not-so-fluffy ducks in a row, and I thought "fúck me, that country is going to go up with one massive bang one of these days". Overall, I was more reminded of Apartheid-era RSA, but still, a seriously fúcked up society. Absolutely essential watching.
*Writer of "The Wire", "The Corner", and "Treme", to name but a few of his credits. An opinion I respect.
He's making a new program btw. David Simon I mean.
Something to do with a rogue Baltimore cop unit that basically behaved like gangsters.

Oh yeah and a 2008 Davis is better than all our current midfielders. I wouldn't play him on the left wing though.
