But tweet him with wespect.

Only in the hope of him being replaced by someone better. Not the next cheapest option.

Watched the highlights on the BBC website. The commentator suggests that it's a terrible tackle and warrants a straight red. Then suggests that the winner is hand ball. Don't agree on either count. You could get paranoid what with the recent refereeing & then the commentary.

Scotland doesn't have a central bank, so can't set the interest rate. That was my point. If using the pound sterling it would be set by the Bank of England.

Deffo aye, if using the pound sterling I'm afraid. Who do think is going to control it; the bank of Scotland. Crikey.

Controlled by the Bank of England.

We may well be able to keep the pound. But the question is what will it be worth relative to the pound sterling? That's the "call it what you like" point. Call it the pound but it won't be linked to the pound sterling.The alternative is that you allow the Bank of England, set the rate of inflation, irrespective of what's happening in the Scottish economy. That's what Salmond would have heard if he hadn't been shouting over the answers to his questions.

We are not a drain at all. That's the point, Scotland is performing perfectly well. It's the instability & unknown that the yes vote brings. Many individuals may want to take the risk and see what it brings. Companies see the risk as being too high, so are make contingency plans. Individuals / the economy ultimately suffer as a result.

More of a realistic heads up then a threat. Many companies are doing it cause that can't afford to keep they're finger crossed and hope everything works out. Many of the financial services too. If they go then we're left with the prospect of the NHS as the countries top employer.

You better text score updates 'cause I won't be able to watch the buddies!

I think you maybe right, but I do hope you're wrong. Other than the flag waving, the "voting for change", while keeping fingers crossed that the change is for the good, I don't see much substance to voting yes. I'll be voting no. Some political, some professional, but mostly for personal reasons. The instability over tax and currency has put both my job and my wife's job at risk if a yes vote goes through. My wife's been told that her job will move down south, and with my job at risk we'll likely have to move. Neither of us want to do this. I'm Scottish, I want to live in Scotland. I'm quite happy for that to be as part of the uk too.

I was in Menorca with the family for the past 2 weeks, in Cala'n Bosch. My 3 year old insisted on wearing a saints top (to the point of a falling down tantrum if denied) most days. When anyone asked him his name he replied "Steven Thompson". Doubt anyone else had a clue what he was on about, but made his dad very proud!

I know what you mean. If I open the official website one more time and see 4 guys in golf jumpers staring back at me, it could be monitor out the window time (without opening it first). Try explaining that one to IT. Keep expecting to open it and see a 20 goal a year striker & a commanding CH holding aloft saints scarfs. I've not lost patience yet, but geeza a signing!!!!

Went for the hills yes / no bet. 33-1, should last the full competition and get a run for my money. Q1. Will Spain score more than 6 goals? Eh.... Yes.... Ah f**kit. I took holland each way before the start at 33-1, and have Argentina & messi top goal scorer @ 16's. That's probably the pick of the bunch from some ill informed spread betting!

Game on FS, how much you got on the treble?
