So your reason for wanting to leave the UK is because you don't like the current state of play of politics in the UK? I was actually going to make that point in my post that you have quoted.... and you didn't fail me. What about the state of politics in the rest of the EU. How is that going? I too despair at the xenophobia of UKIP. But then I also despair at the xenophobia of the SNP! As I said in my post. 65% of our exports go the rest of the UK, 19% to the EU. Putting up barriers to trade and obstacles to labour and capital mobility where there are presently none, doesn't make sense to me.

Selling premium bonds to grannies?

I voted No and Remain in the two referendums. 65% of Scotland's exports are to the rest of the UK while 19% are to the EU. To me, it doesn't make sense to want to leave a single market with our biggest trading partners in order to preserve a single market with the EU. It seems to me that, in Scotland, the economic acceptance regarding the benefits that the EU single market brings to the table won the day in Scotland. When it comes to the UK however, this seems to be go by the wayside. What makes it harder for me to understand is that, by leaving the UK and staying in the UK, we would continue using the currency of the UK but not the currency of the EU. We would, in effect, be using a currency with which we would not have any influence over.

Boris Johnson. FFS. The favourite never wins a Tory leader election. Thatcher, Major, Cameron. They were all outsiders. Might be different this time though. The Tories really are a party of complete fcukwits. Boris as leader would top it all. I can only hope that Corbyn is ousted and they put someone electable in charge and the Tories call an election. The world is going mad. All we need now to cap it all would be another Scottish referendum. We'll end bartering with potatoes on the street corner at this rate.

With heavy rain forecast maybe they should hand out some shower gel to the crowds?

I think a key difference for me is that Gay pride, CND, trade union marches, etc aren't essentially about the hatred of another group of people.

I see that Morgan Stanley have already announced that they will move 2,000 jobs out of the UK and into either Dublin or Frankfurt. And there were those who told us during the Independence referendum that a yes vote wouldn't harm jobs in financial services in Scotland. Hilariously, we even had someone citing HSBC as an example of a foreign bank (what a jolly jape) operating in the UK while Drew assured us that it all be okay due to 'international flows of money' whatever that meant! As to Kendo's point of view, I voted No & Remain. All my immediate family and most of my close friends voted likewise. We'd all still vote No in a second referendum. I have one mate who voted No and Leave and he too would still vote No. A vote for Leave is not a reason for a second referendum. Indeed, the reasons for staying in UK are possibly more important now. it's also ironic that Scotland has voted the same way in the EU referendum as the 'better off' in the UK. The Leave vote was won with the votes of the English working class. That's a right kick in the balls for the leftie SNP fandans on this forum!

The reason I replied was because I don't think that staying in the EU would have been the priority for most of the no, which what I believe you were implying. Regardless, I can decide to reply to any post I like and make any post I like... I surprised that you didn't side with the racists considering your hatred of the English and your contempt of the disabled.

I voted no at the referendum and staying in the eu wasn't a priority staying in the UK was what I was voting for looking back at it, Imo the options were 1. Stay in the UK and come out the EU 2. Come out the UK but stay in the EU for me, at this point, I would still go with 1. my opinion may change however. for me, the underlying essence of the leave vote is racism and xenophobia that doesn't sit well with me yes, you could say that a dislike of the English was a major factor in the yes vote that's partly because folk have this view of the English all being posh tories, which they obviously aren't but the English working classes have shown themselves to have a very large racist streak in them #thichasfcuk

as would have been the case if we'd voted yes in the Scottish independence referendum

you would think that would be the case but.... we don't know what our relationship with the eu is now going to be the majority in Westminster wanted to remain. If they go for a deal, like Norway, where we remain in a single market, have freedom of movement of people and still pay subs to the eu... I can see ukip and Farage continue spouting their shite

you think it's a great shout to play with 6 at the back plus a holding midfielder?

the millennium champions had 3 forwards in the line up. you've dropped a forward and replaced him with a centre half

3 central defenders plus a sweeper, 2 wing backs and a holding midfielder. Not forgetting the keeper. That must be the most defensive line up I've ever seen. Makes Gus Macpherson appear adventurous!

That is all true. But what is also true is that Rae said he didn't need any more central defenders. And then signed a central defender.

More mental than a professional manager saying that he doesn't need any more central defenders, needs to sign players for other positions..... and then signs another central defender? Seriously????? That has to be one of the most mental things I've read on here yet.

Rae stated that we had enough central defenders when he signed Gordon.He stated that we needed strikers and a left sided player. He then signs... another central defender. I think the post you have quoted is a serious post and I agree with him. I'm not doubting the quality of Mackenzie but do you really think that if Rae had signed him before Gordon that he would have also signed Gordon? I read into Rae's statement after signing Gordon that we could afford 2 strikers, a left sided player, a keeper and maybe one other. Mackenzie is possibly the 'maybe one other'. Like I said earlier in the thread, I wouldn't be averse to playing 3 central defenders. So maybe it will all work out okay.

Like others, I didn't know him personally. However, as someone who used to never miss an away game, I would usually see his face at most games. He seems too young to have gone. It's a bit shocking TBH.

Just what I was thinking.

Don't be so harsh on yourself.

All us ITK posters knew about all 3. We've been exchanging PMs on them for weeks. Its just you who was excluded. Indeed Langfield Naismith - Webster - Mackenzie Irvine - Quinn - Mallan - Lappin Clarkson Gallagher - Sutton Gordon fighting it out for one of the 3 central defensive positions, Hutton giving the option of a more defensive line up as an extra man in midfield.

Maybe we're going to go with 3 central defenders next season? We went with 3 central defenders in both of our previous championship winning seasons...

Surely the pozbaird alias should be out the door as well? There is a clear forum policy of zero tolerance to personal abuse, yet the pozbaird alias (and a few others) continually get away with it.

That's not wise

Why would the 'salty tears' begin?
