    Must be quite a shock for those who rush to defend their political heroes at every opportunity.

    Scottish Cup tie at Cappielow en route to winning the cup. Wee Morton ballboy turns and gives Fergie dug's abuse after he (eventually!) rattles in the penalty rebound, then later in the game the wee shite gets wiped out by a Morton player trying to clear the ball off the line. All captured on TV to enjoy again, and again, and again, and....

    The game TRZ refers to in his opening post but in a different way.
    Cast your mind back to the last millennium in the days before mobile phones were ubiquitous. I was on holiday with my partner in Fuerteventura we were renting an apartment which was clean but Spartan with no TV (I don't know if it was the norm back then, even now I don't like to watch TV on holiday I like to get away from it all) anyway there was a shop nearby which sold British newspapers two days late so on the Tuesday morning I went into the shop to check the result shull stylee and was delighted to see we'd won 3-0.
    Just as I was leaving the shop a guy in one of the faux tartan tops they had in the mid-90's obviously with the same idea as me came in, I smiled and said "3-0 to the Saints" and he replied "Yer fuckin' jokin'" and went to check for himself. Never seen him before, never seen him since but I like to think I brought a little misery into his life.

    Just think, there's probably a lifelong Morton fan who was born, went to school, left at 16 & got a job, yet has never had the opportunity to see Morton win a competitive game against St. Mirren.
    Shame.

    He did a lot for the game. He will be best known up here though for winding up Scotland fans. Something that's entirely commendable.

    £115 a barrel the fat man said. New oil boom ahead the fat man said. 300k for every man woman and child in scotland they told us.
    And quite a few f**king idiots believed them. And still do.

    Swinney signed up for Smith.. It would be most helpful if he could articulate precisely what it is he is worried about. That might help immensely. When he came out after signing he immediately began whining about how he felt let down about not getting FFA. His MPs voted against having the impact of FFA scrutinised by parliament. I wonder why they did THAT?
    As for the Tories not improving on 15% at a GE, its irrelevant as the Tories are the government because they won most seats in what was a UK wide election. Regional variations don't matter. Its time you acknowledged that Scotland didn't want to separate. Until you come to terms with that hard fact then you're doomed to spend the rest of your life in a rage.
    The SNP will never be able to form a government. All the have managed to do so far is ensure that foxhunting in England cant be done exactly the same way that its done in Scotland currently. Wow.

    You very politically naive if you don't understand any of this.
    You talk of the "I'm alright Jack" attitude yet the yes campaign was entirely based around the lie that we were all going to be better off. The reason for this is that they had done their research and they knew that there was a considerable portion of the electorate who would be swung to yes if they would be a few hundred pounds better off. So it wasn't actually confined to "my compadres on this site". I accept that there is a small portion of the Scottish electorate that would happily live in a cave as long as they could have a saltire on a stuck flying outside it, just as there are folk on the other side that wouldn't consider splitting up the UK even if they happened to be financially better off. Neither of those types were considered in any of the strategy.
    But its not an issue anyway as there isn't going to be another vote on this in either of our lifetimes.
    If you seriously think the UK government are not happy with the status quo then you're even more politically naive than I thought.

    Its absolutely over.
    The tories will never give another one no matter what happens. And all you'll get is a Quebec style series of hoops to jump through just like the Quebecois now have. And their nationalism has died a death just like Scotlands will.
    You don't need a crystal ball to know that this was it as far as Scottish independence is concerned. The SNP dont want it anymore. The UK will never serve up another referendum either.
    Just enjoy playing about in Holyrood for a while, its fun until the tax bills start arriving. Assuming Swinneys bottle doesnt crash and he rejects further devolution.
    Either way, the Tories are perfectly happy to have the SNP mucking around in Scotland and making sure that the left is so fractured that it can never govern in the UK again. Well played.

    Tax avoidance clearly ISN'T confined to the Tories. This case proves that.
    I pay for an accountant to make sure my tax liabilities are minimised. Every single business does that. As does the football club you allegedly support.
    HMRC or the Scottish version will happily take overpayments. Instead of showboating and lying through your teeth, go and write a cheaque to them.
    You're just a lying Walter Mitty off an internet forum with some mental health issues.
    BTW, still havent had a chap on the door yet from your colleagues. I wonder why?

    Murray has been a big mistake. Tommy Craig was a big mistake. The club is a shambles at the moment so the next move is going to affect the short term future and must be sound. I'm not sure the club is capable of making a sound footballing decision anymore.

    You lost the referendum. Scotland voted in the general election as part of the UK. The entire country returned its constituency MPs and formed its government as a result. Im stuck with a completely hopeless SNP MP who ha absolutely nothing to say for herself. Continuing on from her complete silence when she was a local councillor. Nice enough lady, but really not very bright. Id rather not have her as my MP, but I accept the will of the electorate.

    Beautifully actually. Aided by stupid announcements by Salmond and Sturgeon of course. So now we have a divided left in the UK. A Labour Party fighting itself and a bunch of feckless anti English morons shored up in the north in their own wee sand pit. The SNP nonsense will simply play itself out over time, they know independence is finished and eventually it will dawn on the supporters too. A bit like Quebec but without another referendum. The UK gov has learned a lot from that enormous clusterf**k and the Quebec separatists are routed there now.
    Hey ho.
    The only good thing about it is that the UK left is finished as an election winning force. It lives on is some of the Tory centrists of course, but that can be fought over internally in due course safe in the knowledge that nobody is ever going to vote for a shambolic Labour Party and that they can never win power as they have currently lost Scotland to a bunch of feckless racists.

    I think you'll find that the house remained there. It wasn't a David Copperfield magic trick where the property disappeared. So the number of houses remained the same.
    Buy to let took off under Labour anyway.
