ayrmad Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Even when I had the least faith in this being possible, I made a note of page 198-200 in this thread for future bumping purposes. Some highlights: The British political establishment are now scrambling around in crisis mode, trying to desperately find a way to appease the Jocks because the lead that these fuds were cheesing over has been shatted. I'm not saying Yes will do anything but the shitting of pants is quite beautiful. This ladies and gentleman is what you could call a Clown Collective. I think they were called on it at the time,we'll be mumbling to ourselves 'til the next one that shows a dip for YES appears. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AberdeenBud Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 YouGov have basically admitted they don't have a clue what's going on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying Yes will do anything but the shitting of pants is quite beautiful. This ladies and gentleman is what you could call a Clown Collective. It was either this thread or the other big one where we rightly compared the No campaign to Hibs' efforts last season. Right now I feel that Morton at Celtic Park is a perfect analogy for the other side. We were (rightly) given no chance of challenging, yet unusually got through to a closer finish. As of last week Alistair Darling (Efe Ambrose) chucked in a ridiculous goal which Dougie Imrie (Alex Salmond) converted: now we're at that 110th minute at an Old Firm ground moment - everyone expects us to falter now: the odds are still against us to win. We just need to hope - like that glorious match against the beggars - that they will miss open goals or dodgy equalisers for the rest of the remaining minutes. And I can assure you that that final ten minutes of the game is hell on earth without a clincher.

vikingTON Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Like then, I don't see the fairytale coming true at that time though. We still need Charlie Mulgrew and Van Dijk to miss utter sitters from three yards out to actually get a win from here. And we're hanging out for that over the next 12 days... Nervous wreck already. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banana Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Fakkin 'ell, we finally have a horse race! This is going to go either way based on the late momentum of the campaigns, whether the undecideds walk into the booths and decide "f**k it" one way or t'other. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowden0 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Cheers for that. Time for another superb rant from my favourite cabbie? A great rant. Sums up a lot of the arguments for a yes vote. "A no vote would be be paramount to a huge case of self-harm " 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crùbag Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I expect support for YES to fall in the next Yougov poll, 8% is a big swing in 3 weeks. Mmmm, tell me how that expectation panned out? I still think the polls are underestimating the Yes support as more than likely they don't canvass the schemes and old mining/industrial towns where Yes is wining 3-1 apparently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I'm more than a little shocked by what's happening at the moment because the No side should be able to have a field day with the currency and EU accession issues, but the undecideds have clearly been breaking heavily Yes since the second debate. Think it's going to be decided by turnout and to what extent the Yes camp get younger voters and people in deprived areas out to the polls and could easily throw off the pollsters weightings. Or YouGov have changed their methodology (from what a variety of folk are saying). Panelbase which has always been the one that shows Yes support at its highest is relatively unchanged. The other polls this week may give a better indication. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I reckon anyone who is influenced by what the queen thinks is already in the NO camp. Or in a home for the mentally unstable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's possibly some sort of Bradley effect too - consistently 10% of those polled refuse to say which way they are voting. If I were a Yes supporter that would be my worry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its done via telephone and internet.... They definitely will canvass schemes and mining towns. I still don't think they are accurate given previous inability to predict the size of results 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crùbag Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I was trying to keep feet on the ground, we're starting to sound like NO at the time when we need to stick together and sound like YES more than ever. Fair enough. I'm still a bit pessimistic myself but to have previously 'unionist' pollsters now showing a Yes advantage is good PR as many, unfortunately, will go with the flow and think 'well if most are voting yes as are many of my pals then I will to'. You're right though, we need to keep our feet on the ground, in all senses. Gonna head to my local Yes stall today and give a hand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
