My tuppence worth on the Alex Salmond party and overarching situation.
- I feel he is likely right in this new party will garnish a larger pro-yes majority of MSP's in May, rightly or wrongly depending on your view, there will be a percentage of SNP voters and possibly others in favour of Indy that will select them for the list & I can see that returning overall more pro-indy MSP's.
- I can't call an SNP majority either way, my gut does say they'll likely fall a wee bit short but I certainly wouldn't bet on it
- Overall, it may appear favourable for our next Scottish government regarding views on independence (super-majority might be pushing it) but I feel regarding any following referendum it would do more harm than good having Salmond back in front-line politics.
Don't you think they are both tainted?

Perhaps if you had said "met" instead of "laid eyes on" everyone would have known what you meant! As for your final sentence, it looks like you made it up. Isolationism is not what Scioland and the SNP is about.
Why would I say I had met her when I hadn't, she actually walked past a group I was attached to, as for the last sentence which was ' Both Salmond and Sturgeon are vying to be the big fish in the little pond that is Scotland and it's all big bad Boris's fault, you really couldn't make it up could you?' I think you meant the previous sentence and isolationism is what you would get since no way are you going to be allowed to rejoin the eurocrats, assuming there is still a one to join, seems to me the rats are ready to run afore the good ship EEc founders.

Hang on. Just realised you posted this. What utter nonsense.
Worse than Johann Lamont? Worse than Boris Johnson? Worse than the SNP, MSP god-obsessed nutter John Mason? Worse than Natalie McGarry? Worse than Salmond FFS?
Hope you enjoyed your fishing trip.
I can out fish you any day of the week old boy, read that wot I wrote "I have to say she is the poorest apology for a politician that I have ever laid my eyes on" ergo I have laid eyes upon her in person as opposed to seeing the others on the idiot box, having said that I also have no time for Salmond, although he was acquitted, but then again so was 'she' and McGarry is according to the law of the land innocent until proven guilty. My problem is really the isolationist doctrine that they all seem to wallow in and the fact that they have such an amount of support. Both Salmond and Sturgeon are vying to be the big fish in the little pond that is Scotland and it's all big bad Boris's fault, you really couldn't make it up could you?

Good. And with a bit of luck we'll have heard the end of that sleazy bastard Salmond and all those who supported him.
And what about the sleazy female replacement and all those who supporter her, I have to say she is the poorest apology for a politician that I have ever laid my eyes on and that says a lot. There are quite a few decent and honest politicians in Scotland but I would not count her among them.

Couple of my group chats have been going mental since this morning. "big names" and all this. For me football has moved on a bit from these big name managers, I would much rather a young, modern game knowledgeable coach who is hungry and switched on to the mechanisms of the modern game with a strong backroom staff behind him than a big name now. (Regarding St Mirren Goody ticks this box for me)
In saying that, I do see the benefit in a name attracting players. If I was Celtic I would 100% be trying to get someone like Lampard who ticks both the boxes IMO.
The only good thing about that is they would need to sell ALL the best players to afford him.

Lots of people struggled to cope with the new system from what I remember.
I can't understand why though as having everything in 10s is easier to work with.
I suspect it was just the fact that it was a change which was forced on people which caused the resistance more than the difficulty of the new system but if anyone is old enough to remember it would be interesting to hear your view.
The problem is with inflation, it's probably £16 19/ 11d 3/4. .(sixteen pound nineteen shillings and 11 pence three farthings), for your thoughts nowadays

If you think a wee satirical dig at Boris Johnson constitutes extremely bad taste then you must have led a sheltered life.
Well pardon me for breathing, so while it's perfectly ok for you to post your dig at BJ in a totally inappropriate thread, apparently I have led a sheltered life because I respect the dead. Go f**k a duck ya wanker

How can you agree with someone so renowned for being two-faced, consistently stupid and regularly wrong?
Because although I have had some altercations wi the wee man, he knows what he is talking about and is more often right than wrong and given that so much of what is debated on here is opinion, he is entitled to his opinion just as much as you are to yours. he has his foibles ........... but then again! don't we all?

Pep Guardiola indicated a couple of weeks ago, and I would listen to him rather than anyone on a football forum, that the competition in England does make it the best league.
When he was in Spain there was only a handful of game he had to have his players on top of their game, not so in England where there's always "surprise" results as most teams, even the teams in the relegation places, can give the bigger teams a game.
As for American Football being entertaining, aye, a sport RUN by advertising, that, despite the system making the spread of better players, produces many dull/dreary games as the standard is poor. With numerous stoppages a game that's meant to take an hour takes OVER 3 hours.
The best, for me, is seeing the best players/managers pit themselves against each other which produces more moments of magic that stay in the memories forever.
As for And a whole load of easily ignored tussles such as Brighton v Fulham, or Southampton V Wolves.. you, obviously don't watch these teams as they, especially Wolves, produce lots of cracking football.
Everyone to their own, something that doesn't sit well with you I'm afraid.

I'm not a fan of Oakie but he is measuring the amount of money involved. If you recall, Setanta paid ridiculous, and ultimately, unsustainable amounts of money to Scottish football for the rights to show games. If that had went viral in a TV kind of way, it could have put Scottish football up there with the best. You could argue that Spanish/Italian/German football is far more appealing than English football but Sky's marketing has conned people into thinking the EPL is the best league in the world.
If Sky walked away from English football that league would be decimated.
I agree, it is the best league in the world

Meanwhile, the EPL are being paid more than £1bn per year.
I'm not discussing business stuff with you.
We both know it's not your area and we'll just go round in circles.
To be fair there is a consUderable difference in both quality and choice when comparing football here in Scotland with what is available in Engerland, not defining but it is a fact

If we shift players out then I think it will be to bring in another couple , Foley being mentioned again is a surprise so maybe at least two decent players heading our way , hopefully 🤞🏻
Goody has brought two youngsters back from loan, assuming the intention is to bring them in as appropriate or necessary.

Exactly how it should be. We might need those weeks in March for postponements due to weather or covid.
These guys are professional footballers and the sport is VERY privileged to be allowed to run at all right now when everyone else is having to shut down.
I am not defending the SPFL but anyone complaining about anything like this right now needs to gain a little perspective.
Correct, if irritatingly so

You didn't like English I see?
It was a game changer, hoards of vermin, roamed around in packs, had to watch your back, they weren't keen on a one v one situation.
It did heighten your awareness of situations right enough.
WE thought it should be re named Scottish.
and grammatically there is nothing amiss with what I writted.

The year "above" me.
My year was the last year before it became a comprehensive, what a change that was.
All the local dimwits and "would be" thugs all looking for attention.

So what year was that?
let me see, I left school aged 15; which I was in oct 67s, so sometime around then, TBF it was a wee while ago and my memory is not quite what it was I'm afraid.

Ta, EAB.
Taken from the allotments below it looks like.
we played most of our local fitba on that flat bit of street, there.
(just above the “as seen on”)
good surface and no through traffic - and the noise annoyed fewer people living nearby.
(I’d left the school by the time that pic was taken.)

Is it only me who thinks it's just a tad too much, I don't mind £15 but £17.50 shows their aspiration to catch Livingstone surely.
