Clarkston5 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Yes I thought Yes was going to win. Now lets have a bit of honesty from you What evidence did you have for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H_B Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Yes I thought Yes was going to win. So, at what point did you realise you had made a monumental c**t of it? Was it a year ago? 6 months? The week of the vote? You are gutted that I was proved correct, and that I was consistently telling you what would happen. And that's exactly what did happen. Meanwhile your tales from the streets and guffawing at the polls backfired spectacularly when they were proven to be spot on and Yes took a complete spannering.

AUFC90 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Well, my scenario will never actually be tested as the SNP won't include a referendum in their manifesto anyway. Colkitto will be further humiliated though.Your scenario was just as humiliating. The UK will never grant us another referendum Aye OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haggis pakora Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 What evidence did you have for this? All those stickers on car and house windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarkston5 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Your scenario was just as humiliating. The UK will never grant us another referendum Aye OK. Why would they have to? A 10 POINT majority. You do realise that that's pretty conclusive don't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarkston5 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 All those stickers on car and house windows. The conversion stories would make funny reading now. I'm going to do a quick scan and post some Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinkinFighter Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 But they'd block it in the meantime? Is that what you're saying?The SNP won't ask for another one for at least 10 years imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H_B Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I thought Yes would win right up till the polls closed. Now why don't we have a bit of honesty from you and please answer my question What makes you think I would ever have believed Yes were going to win? Absolutely nothing indicated this. The polls predicted defeat. The odds predicted defeat. Everything predicted defeat. Unless you actually believed () in the hilarious group hugging on here, anyone with a semblance of sense knew No were going to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is an activist then he must have been swallowing the same utter nonsense Kiwififer was during his attempt to get elected in Edinburgh. Its astonishing how gullible some people can be.

Its astonishing how gullible some people can be. I had always assumed it was just people playing a role. A bit like boxing - where the fist fodder like Fraudley Harrison tells people he's convinced he will win, even though everyone knows he's going to be horizontal after 3 minutes. I hadn't really factored in that there were people dumb enough to believe Yes were going to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colkitto Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Both HB & Reynard thought Yes were going to win in the later stages of the referendum. Both shat it when Yougov started to show those big swings to the Yes campaign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't really factored in that there were people dumb enough to believe Yes were going to win. It became clear these people actually existed. I got blocked on twitter by virtually all of them by the morning of the 19th. Sad. Kiwififer used to PM me about some guy who was helping him run his campaign. The guy sounded like a total psycho to be honest. If I'd had someone that rabid breathing down my neck I'd have decked them right at the start. I actually felt for C as he is a decent guy and he was quite stressed about the entire thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it something you are doing to convince yourself you didn't just make a complete and utter c**t of yourself during the campaign? Cos you did.

H_B Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Be honest, you thought Yes would win at one point. Yes? No. Honestly, there was never any stage when I thought Yes had a chance of winning. It was incredibly clear throughout. I did expect them to do better than they did though. It was a surprise that they lost by quite such a humiliating 10% plus.
