Confidemus Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Star strikers gone, club in turmoil, fans revolting(insert obvious jokes at your leisure) , shite manager ... To add. We are Scottish Football's equivalent of the Lib Dems Just remember, there's always someone worse off than you. Hibs fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'm Brian Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Just remember, there's always someone worse off than you. Hibs fans. We can start an alliance. Teams in Turmoil for Yes. Hibs, Ayr and Morton. Any more? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 (edited) Then again, with only 30 odd percent support for Yes, many teams will have mostly No voters. Off the top of my head have a look at the forums of Inverness, Motherwell, Aberdeen, Falkirk, Celtic, Hearts, Hibs, Kilmarnock, St.Mirren, St Johnstone and Partick Thistle for a start. IIRC all have Yes in a healthy lead. Edited May 29, 2014 by Guest 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bairn Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Just because the poll on a forum shows a yes lead doesn't mean the teams fans will actually vote that way. Football forums are largely devoid of older fans, not to mention the fact that people will stronger opinions are more likely to click open independence threads, and these people are more likely to vote yes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Oh sorry, I forgot the Unionist golden rule on this thread. Polls with No in the lead = Good, credible. accurate Polls with Yes in the lead = Bad, pointless, inaccurate 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bairn Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 What? Any straw polls on forums are not credible, including the ones that show a No lead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 (edited) Why aren't they credible? Are all these websites ran by Nationalists fudging the numbers? The only Scottish Football forums that have polls with No in the lead are the obvious Sevco ones and Ross County for some reason. I think in general Scottish Football fans have more nationalist leanings. If you took a straw poll amongst the Scotland support at Craven Cottage last night, Yes would piss it. I'm not saying this is a massive advantage for Yes or that it will have a significant outcome on the result.

Confidemus Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 (edited) The percentage of No votes from Ayrshire will be amongst the highest in the country. Why? because 43 Kilmarnock fans said so? lol Hypothetically speaking, the top 5 "No" football teams would probably be Rangers, Hearts, Kilmarnock, Inverness and Ayr. Then again, with only 30 odd percent support for Yes, many teams will have mostly No voters. I learned several days ago that your sole intention is to contend with Mr Bairn for Troll of the Subforum award 2014. Therefore, with that in mind, sit doon.

AUFC90 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 (edited) I'm fairly certain that your average Ayr Utd fan will vote yes. The town of Ayr ? Not so much. I consider Rangers, Hearts, Airdrie and possibly Dundee as the most likely set of fans to vote no. Edited May 29, 2014 by AUFC90 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone is disputing that most football fans who use online forums are yes voters. Thankfully, football fans who use online forums make up a tiny fraction of the population. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bairn Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Falkirk fans are overwhelmingly no on here, overwhelmingly yes on OneF. Ultimately I'd expect us to be fairly split down the middle. Fans of junior clubs, not an insignificant minority, will almost to a man vote no. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
