Don't remember them protesting in person outside the BBC offices though...

That’s a good shout faraway. However, if she were to bet her life savings on it she’d probably need to place the bet with a number of bookies to get around their maximum limits…

I think the better bet is in respect of by how much the no vote will win by. My brother told me this morning that he has a bet on the no vote winning at least 60% of the vote.

Shut it ya natsi traitor.

If the Yes campiagn could guarantee me that they could relocate her to Turkey on Friday then I'd be down at the polling station first thing on Thursday to vote yes!

I agree. I don't see why JG and GT would also need to go. Indeed, if money is the issue, it would be one of these 2 or Steven Thompson who should get the job IMO.

what is more important, the absolute wealth of the poor or their relative poverty? would my mother-in-law be able to upgrade to a 4 star apartment on her annual trip to turkey in a more equal society or would have to downgrade to 2 stars?

whit? (see, i can do that to) you keep making my point for me lex. The coughlin situation was not the same, there is no precedent for craig's position you are trying to use precedent to back up your argument when there is no precedent we've never had a manager before who was previously assistant for 3 years then got the job at the start of a season we've never had a manager who has lost all first 5 games of a season! as for the bet, can someone not give an opinion without you jumping up and down asking them to put money on it? that's playground stuff as for madness, the real madness was making Craig the manager in the first place to keep him in the job any longer would only compound it

The yes campaigners protesting about the 'british brainwashing corporation' brings back memories of the rangers fans similar problems with the bbc...

totally agree but your post is definitely all about me!

But he was previously the assistant manager to a sacked manager. The last such manager was John Coughlin - and he was sacked before Xmas in his first full season in charge! So citing him as an example you are actually arguing against yourself! If you want to get right down to the specifics, the fact is that Tommy Craig is the first manager we've ever had under the current BoD who was previously an assistant manager and started out as manager at the very start of a season. Therefore, if you want to be that specific, there is no precedent for you to compare with! In additon, it may not be the current BoD who have the decision to make. And when folk start asking you for a bet its a sure fire sign that they've lost the argument...

faraway saint take note

exactly the tactics you have slated me for suggesting in the past!

don't agree with this analysis with regards to the 'limited budget', i don't see our budget being any more limited than any other season when compared with our rivals indeed, with rangers, hearts & hibs missing and the likes of Hamilton, ict & ross county in the top flight you could argue, relatively speaking, that tc has a bigger budget available than any saints manager in more than 20 years. as for a number of players leaving, this also affects every club in the post bosman era

it would be a completely meaningless comparison if Craig was brand new to the club. the fact that he was assistant for 3 years to a manager that has just been sacked makes it a valid comparison and, by the way, coughlin was sacked before Xmas in what would have been his first full season in charge the current bod have a record of getting rid of managers before Xmas and id be amazed if Craig is still here in october

Thanks for confirming that Standard Life are worried about the effect of independence. Confirms why I'll be voting no. 95% of Standard Life business comes from England because a single market that a yes vote will destroy.

The fact that the Natsi bullies were out on the streets today in numbers attempting to intimidate people will only strengthen decent, ordinary folk's resolve to vote no.

You backed the appointment of Craig and abused anyone who dared suggest it was a mistake. Your bed is made so you can go and lie in it! Clown!

Our current board sacked Fitzpatrick, Hendrie & Coughlin in the first half of a season. Hendrie was away pretty early on if I remember correctly. To say our board have a track record of standing by managers ain't true. They could hardly sack Gus. His last season saw us reach our first major final in 23 years, finish in our highest league position for nearly 20 years and achieve our biggest league win over Celtic in over 100 years... and from a starting position of a 3rd successive battle against relegation! As for Lennon, as much as I didn't rate him, he won our first major trophy in 26 years and got us to a league finish no other Saints manager has achieved in 20 odd years (albeit it was only 2 places up on Gus who did all the donkey work from the lower reaches of the First Division). Tommy Craig? He's a 63 year old with hardly any track record as a manager and what track record he does have is dreadful. He's achieved 5 straight defeats in the league bagging a single goal and delivered our worst start to a season on our entire history. Craig is a joke figure. He's a completely clueless clown and really hasn't got a clue what he is doing. As for not affording to bag him... just put him on garden leave. Out Thompson, Goodwin or Teale in charge. Put my next door neighbours dog in charge. It really doesn't matter... nobody could be any worse than Tommy Craig!

Its 5 straight defeats. The worst start the club has ever had in its entire history.

We don't need to pay him off. Put him on garden leave and give the job to Thompson, Goodwin or Teale. That would be a start. We simply couldn't be any worse. No surprises to see the happy clapping baboon liked your post.

Who said we could? You're a baboon!

^^^^ look whose crawled out of the woodwork now that we've scored.... the fairweather, happy clapping baboon!

Its like we've won the World Cup! Get TC tae fuck

4 and a half league games without a goal now and the guy who has scored both our goals this season in any competition is on the bench Tommy Craig = clown
