  1. Soft-hearted Hana (George Harrison)
  2. Yes. Edited to add: You can just imagine the unionist clamour if the SNP government went for a two-stage referendum; they don't even want the one that's coming! And of course it's not really possible to start "negotiating" now, though the SNP has accepted that a proportionate slice of the UK debt would be taken on board.
  3. Vs. Ross County: What was our penalty given for, and why was the guy sent off? Paul Paton's LEFT-FOOTED cross which led to the equalizer seems to have gone largely un-noticed. Vs. Morton: Tommy Stewart curled his goal in really well. Morton actually created a good few (half-) chances; as the saying goes these days, they'll play worse than that and win. But us too!
  4. So what do you suggest, that nothing should ever change? I'd suggest that you know very well what you'd vote for, which would be full economic independence for our own country. This will replace filling London's coffers and then having to accept what they decide to give us back while they refuse us the right to negotiate economics with the rest of the world according to our own perspectives. What they want is to be able to continue tell us that we can get what they decide to let us have, while they get protected first of all. It has been thus since the formation of this damned union, which the Scots population never voted for, remember.
  5. Hmm, all freezing up on my computer, which doesn't usually happen. Anybody else got the same problem?
  6. On the first point, wrong. You cannot prove to anybody beforehand that you can do the job; the only way you can prove that you are capable is to get the job in the first place and then do it. What you need to do beforehand is show that you are well enough qualified to do what's asked, and the SNP are clearly best qualified for leading Scotland in the future. On the second point, your entrenched view and avatar bring to mind images of old codgers saying things like "Computers will never catch on", "Whit, machines that will transport people in the sky? Never!", or "Horseless carriages that propel themselves? I don't believe it!"
  7. If not a refund, some other sort of gesture, like a complimentary catering voucher or something like that. The numbers would be very small, so worth it purely from a buttering-up perspective.
  8. I suppose Dundee fans are moaning and claiming that all the other clubs are plotting to destroy their club, as nobody is simply sitting back and letting them walk the league.
  9. That's a valid point. Frankly if we had the choice between getting into the SPL and surviving there on transfer deals or continuing in the 1st (and occasionally the 2nd) division with several youth teams that might produce a couple of 1st team squad players now and again, then I would advocate ditching the youth system right now.
  10. One in ten people born in Britain emigrate for a better life elsewhere. Just take a look around this forum and you'll see no shortage of examples from Scotland. For whatever reason, the British union doesn't seem so great that those folk want to live here. I'm not saying that an independent Scotland would definitely be more attractive, but I've talked to people who live abroad who have said it would make the prospect of returning more likely.
  11. So it's up to us all to try to get folk along who normally wouldn't go.
  12. It's always been a mystery to me how we struggle so much compared to teams with lower attendances and presumably less overall income. I wonder what the year-long saving will be from the (welcome) reduced polis presence?
  13. And who leads you to believe that? Somebody who didn't enjoy it for one reason or another? And that person's opinion would make it sh ite?
  14. The Great Unpredic..... Unpredi..... Unpred.... F****d if I know why.
  15. You never know; IF Jackie gets us promotion in his first full season then the tims might just take a chance on him if they ditch the toxic ginger. One thing I feel more sure of is given JM's close relationship to them that that mob will get privileged information on the potential of guys like Aaron Sinclair.
  16. The big error in British nationalists' opposition to the idea that Scotland could be a viable and successful independent nation. There is no "alone" in the world anymore. Nations trade with other nations. Scotland has plenty of resources that it could trade to pay its own way in the world, but it is not allowed to because London takes the revenue and then decides what to hand back. Who's doing the dragging down here?
  17. There is no way around it; unionists are British nationalists, which for some reasons (often different from one individual to another) they see as OK whereas English nationalism or Scottish nationalism is something that must be defeated. I'd love it for Cameron (as some reports suggest) to try to pre-empt Salmond by organizing a referendum on Scottish independence, as I believe that the majority of people in Scotland would vote for exactly that.
  18. Interesting idea, that. Would Clyde consider moving back to Glasgow, albeit in the west end (i.e., on our traditional territory)?
  19. Walking up just before the game started, seeing the JH relatively well populated (for these days) and the decent Morton support in the North Stand, the old stadium looked excellent, or at least those two sides did. What a shame if we are destined to play in a two-sided stadium for ever more. Let's hope that whatever developments take place, there will at least be some kind of spectator space where the bing and the main stand are.
  20. Has that replaced the tasteless John Smith? If so, that is good news indeed.
