Nellie The Don

It'd make for a good game if they had to beat us by 4 or 5 goals to get 2nd.

'Fuck the pain away' was a cracking tune.

God, Hibs are shite. We won that at a canter without ever really being troubled. I'm astonished they're not further down than they are. That said, solid performance even if we were flattered. Great that McGinn seems to have some confidence back.

They ought to just keep going and finish the job.

Next time? What'll we be playing? Supermarket sweep?

In Work VLADIMIR ROMANOV, VLADIMIR ROMANOV! Pub 2-1 Robson and McGinn

Is it not just that there are a limited number and they get snapped up quickly?

Well that's fecked.

Get Logan signed up. And Tate punted.

He tripped coming out of the bookies.

Only the Calderwood part

Fine as long as they don't use pittodrie. It fucks up the pitch royally.

Fucking hell, our midfield is the dogs bollocks. Impossible to pick who doesn't start. Great problem to have. Of the above, I think I might reluctantly start with Robson on the bench.

I think that suggesting he's capable of 'mind games' is perhaps overestimating John Hughes a touch.

Any auld yins care to name the lineup? The only two I know are Harper and Miller, although I recognise many other faces.

Do Sevco get a cut of the tickets? I would have thought it would be a flat fee for renting the stadium, with ticket money split between the (four) semi-finalists.

There's a match on Sunday?

Too far for Gordon Strachan to travel on a weeknight.

For the whole stadium, or from what's been allocated thus far?

If we vote 'No', we will definitely continue to not be in charge of our currency. Alex Salmond has no control over what government a Scottish electorate puts into Hollyrood in the future any more than, as has constantly been shown to be the case, the Scottish electorate has any power to control what government sits in Westminster, running monetary policy.

Truly dismal stuff. Local councils throughout Scotland are treated as chew-toys and vanity projects for politicians who are either trying to or have failed to rise within their parties.

Hello, Mr Wall. How are the bricks today?

Absolutely, and I would agree provision of services should be devolved to local councils as much as possible. Not without huge reform of the way that councils and local elections are run, however. Currently, the way that councils are run and elected in this country is so bad that I wouldn't trust them to run so much as a bus service without fucking it up. I wouldn't suggest for a second that these aren't important issues, but they are, too a much larger degree, issues of local government as opposed to Hollyrood. With regards to the A9, it is absolutely essential to the economy of the Highlands to have a strong modern transportation link with the rest of the country, and the A9 in it's current form that certainly isn't that. Then I don't think you've been listening very well. It's a fairly well laboured point that such cuts are a matter of funding, and that with the Barnett formula dictating what funds are available in Scotland, cuts in funding to public services in England by Westminster directly result in cuts in Scotland. The point I was making in posting the videos wasn't about the geographical spread of the Yes campaign, but the political spread. The fact that these events don't get much 'mainstream media' attention doesn't really surprise me, given the nature of the 'mainstream' media. The leaderships and spokesmen for the Lib Dems and Labour parties may be anti independence, but the views within the party memberships is a very different matter altogether. The problem for these two parties, and the reason that they have faired so badly at the last Hollyrood election in my opinion, is that they (their leaderships, in any case) have changed in nature so drastically that they are barely recognisable any more. The Labour party in Scotland have never successfully replaced the likes of John Smith, Donald Dewar and Robin Cook, and no longer successfully represent their core support in Scotland, largely due to a lack of tolerance for dissenting opinion within the party warding off genuine talent (See Alan Grogan, above). A prime example of this was during the Grangemouth strike. A proper Labour party leader would have been extremely vocal and visible in that, but barely a peep was heard from Lammont and co, for fear that it might embarrass Ed Milliband while the tories were battering him with union issues to their daily mail reading electorate in the south. Similarly, with the Lib Dems, the party has been hijacked by people who would probably be in the Tory party were it not for the fact that they would never get elected if they were. This perhaps speaks a touch about why none of the non-SNP Yes videos I posted were from outwith central Scotland. Traditionally, the two main political forces in the H&Is have been the SNP and the Lib Dems. Unlike the Labour movement in the industrialised central belt, the political assasinations of Charles Kennedy and Menz Campbell were recent enough that a viable genuine liberal alternative has yet to be established. As for the Green party, their leadership (as shown above) are most definitely not opposed to independence. They may be unique, however, in being the only party leadership to acknowledge that there will likely be disagreement on the issue within their membership.
