ICTChris Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Here's an article from the FT about the polling differences, sorry if it's been posted before http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/1d9028a0-2d49-11e4-aca0-00144feabdc0.html#axzz3Bqbuvv2x Interesting, there's hints of the Yes campaign's "missing million" in here. Will it be a missing million or hidden hundreds, that's the question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confidemus Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 The Union actually has a bigger lead now than we had in June and July? Superb news. Momentum indeed! I'm glad you're relaxed and confident about a No win and in no way feel the need to repeatedly mention it, to the point that it seems that you're shiting your pants. It's super! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Indeed. How's your team going to fare today? I've gotten to the stage now where I hope Falkirk/Sevco/St Mirren/Airdrie get pumped rotten every week cause of some of the boys on here. Alex with his daily updates telling everyone how confident he is is also very amusing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 Indeed. How's your team going to fare today? Probably going to lose I guess, but no one knows. What about your team? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confidemus Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Probably going to lose I guess, but no one knows. What about your team? I think we'll continue our high flying start to the season. If results go our way, we could be top of the table at 4.45 this afternoon. Who thought we'd start so well after our horrendous season last year. It must please you Lex to see another provincial team have such a pleasing start to the season? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little sunny and rainy, but it's to clear up just after 2. Thanks for asking. I think Tommy Craig has done a splendid job as well. He's really embraced the ethos that Danny left behind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confidemus Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Killie to definitely finish above St Mirren again then? Enjoy the game xoxo Seeing as we only missed out last year by goal difference for the first time in years, despite playing like utter coos for most of the season, yes, absolutely.

Confidemus Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Has Ladbrokes been saying anything today? Why yes, yes they have: Saturday 30th August 2014 | 11:05 Ladbrokes: Scottish punters move decisively for YES - 95% of Scottish bets for YES since second debate Ladbrokes press release *Scottish punters move decisively for YES* SCOTTISH POLITICAL punters have moved decisively for a YES vote in next month's referendum, according to new analysis released by Ladbrokes. The bookies found that since the second debate last Monday, over 95% of all bets placed in Scotland have been for YES. That has seen the odds tumble from 9/2 to 7/2 in just a few days. However, gamblers in England are less convinced, with over 75% of the money staked south of the border going on a NO vote. A breakdown of the betting reveals that the larger-staking customers south of the border are propping up the 'no' odds, with those on the ground in Scotland placing smaller bets much keener to back a 'yes' outcome. Alex Donohue of Ladbrokes said: "The betting has been non-stop for YES from our Scottish customers since Alex Salmond's victory in the second debate. It will be a terrible result for the bookies if the local money is correct." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confidemus Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) Will need to wait for Lex to let us know what it all means. I can exclusively reveal that Lex contacted me earlier regarding this. Here's his statement: "If you look at it, it seems there's 4 horses in a 2 horse race. 3 of them are odds on, the other 6 are long shots. And by the way NO WILL WIN, THERE'S NO POINT VOTING YES, NO POINT I TELL YOU, STAY IN YOUR HOMES, DON'T BOTHER VOTING, ABANDON ALL HOPE".
