Aye, we'll find out later, but I reckon Scotland has saved May's airse here. I think she has just enough to retain her position until things calm down a little. A swing of 6 or 7 seats back to the SNP (or Labour) from Tory would have seen her position completely untenable. As it stands, she'll manage to throw together a government of some sort. Two things really, the announcement of Indy Ref 2 was - in hindsight - an error. However, it was completely the correct decision given that there was no suggestion of an election at the time it was announced, so it's only in hindsight that it looks bad. A calculation that went wrong after the event really. Secondly, at the risk of sounding patronising (and just being wrong..), I think the people of Scotland have misunderstood the Westminster elections slightly. It's purely a vote to say who represents you in the UK parliament, rather than the candidate who is going to improve your daily life via representation at Holyrood. The question is, or should be, are you best represented at Westminster by an SNP candidate or a Tory one? My opinion is that someone like Alex Salmond would be more likely to challenge the government of the day at Westminster over a Tory person who will simply be a messenger from parliament back to the people of the North East. Only if your views entirely align with those of the Tories, and indeed Theresa May, should you have voted Tory. To me, the Tory vote was a good way to give the SNP a bloody nose, and I think that the electorate has chosen the wrong time to do that (although I fully understand why, given the lack of options prior to a potential Independence Referendum). In light of this, I think May has actually come out of this - in the long term - okay. Or at the very least the Tories have. With the absolute backing of the press, they'll re-build in time for the next election and they'll get enough backing to cobble through a brexit negotiation that is only slightly toned down from before (indeed, it'll end up being the type of Brexit that the Cameron/Osborne side of the party would have gone for). Meanwhile, they've effectively staved off the UK constitutional questions for some time. In the cold light of day, I think they'll take it. In fact, the only hope of anything alternative to this is if the internal Tory party brings her/it down, which is probably their biggest threat ironically.

Makes little difference what they say. The turnout looks a little higher than normal so far, but that'll probably only be a good thing for Labour.

Given the state of NI with regard to brexit, I don't think DUP's seats will make fuck all difference.

Hung parliament. Holy shit balls

Nice one Manc. Pretty decent like.

Is that the right link? Looks like a link to a gay facebook page or something?

Maybe he's on a fair bit of dough at the Tims and he's holding out for a better offer than whatever the dons can give (or are offering at the moment). He's got the whole summer to sort it out so he's right to hold out for the best he can get. I reckon they'll pay out his contract if he doesn't take a loan somewhere, and maybe his agent his telling him to hold out for that. He'd then have the freedom and options available as a free agent.

Through to the semis now. Impressive. Wawrinka next though, which is a different kettle of turds. Nadal probably still the man to beat.

Tell him to get a kindle edition on his next book...

Fit book's this?

But I thought the release clause was triggered? Or was that just balls....

Aye, I always found it a bit more harsh on Dundee than the Weegies. There is a far more distinct weegie poison. Anyway, just a bit of fun really. I like Glasgow as a city, it's a cracking place. I do get where yer coming from though. Edit: Aye, and Ten Caat, I was getting my weegie hole's mixed up. A fine correction. I meant Mordor.

Aye, the fit and proper person test in full flow again as Alastair "No Surrender" Johnston sails back into the girodome. A more odious fuck ye'd struggle to meet.

Really? I'm pretty certain the huns wanted Whyte hanged. He got off because Murray was the guilty one. He knew exactly what he was doing when he handed the club over to Whyte.

Are you suggesting that we couldn't afford the £4-6M that it would cost to build training facilities? If that's the case, do you think it's even remotely sensible to build a £40-50M stadium? Or have I misunderstood your point (probably!)? If we have to have a poorer team on the park for a couple of years while we develop facilities, would that not be acceptable? After all, we've had a poor team on the park for the vast majority of Milne's tenure with absolutely nothing to show for it.

Risco? I like it.

I'd say it's more to do with the fact that Storey is absolutely horse's cock at fitba and always has been. Moult has skill and a good touch. However, I'd see him more as a replacement for Stockley. Ideally we'd replace Storey with someone too. We definitely wouldn't have room for Stockley if Moult signed.

Racist.

I'm with you KFP. I think he offers more all round than Boyce. I think he could play alongside Rooney if necessary too, whereas I reckon Boyce and Rooney is a one or other decision. He seems a little more mobile too. Rooney and Boyce are basically the same in my book. That's nae a bad thing like, just saying.

I think Jack was a good player for us. Had he moved on to someone other than der Hun I'd have applauded him. He didn't, he joined one half of the cheeks. Joining the Tims is a Jackesque move. The other half of the same airse. The Tims are a despicable bunch of racist-supporting fucks who've almost single-handedly ruined the game in this country. They're exactly the same as the hun. Hayes won't get booed, because he didn't grow up in the city and ken the fucking rules.

Get fucked. If he goes to the Tims then he's a Tim. Nae booing is the most appropriate response. Clapping a Tim is unacceptable.

Indeed. Partick are looking at £4M for their facilities. We should be looking at around that figure. It should have been on the cards way before the stadium, with two separate planning applications. A fair chance it could have been started by now.

It was further up the thread. Someone said we were going to take £1.2M for Hayes, or 750K plus Christie on loan for a year. Paying for a loan deal would seem a touch absurd - and a first probably. Also, Tom, Etienne Verveer did come to us. He just didn't play any games.

Good article from the other day (before last night). http://johnpilger.com/articles/terror-in-britain-what-did-the-prime-minister-know

Watched about ten minutes of it. It was weird. I only briefly check the tabloids these days, but the people in the audience were genuinely frightened of us being blown up by Iran and North Korea. Where the fuck does that shite come from? They all clearly thought that Trident was a huge issue. Far bigger than it actually is. And most seemed like they were more than happy to nuclear bomb another country - even preemptively. Fucking bizarre like. They kept going on about a "red button" too, fucking retards. Will you press the red button Jeremy? Will you? I wish he'd properly put them in their place. A bit weak I thought, he should have properly confronted them.
