Well done flareybob, sharing all your insider knowledge with us poor souls who aren't in the know. Keep up the good work.

I'm not a hundred percent sure, but I think 16/17 year olds vote at holyrood and council elections in Scotland now, so yes they'd definitely vote in indyref 2.Wasn't the decision to allow 16/17 year olds a one off?
Is it certain they would be allowed a vote again?
It doesn't matter the demographic IMO, it's the numbers that matter.
There was similar "beliefs" before the last referendum, that didn't work out too well for the angry "yes" voters.
Again, whatever happens means little to me, if it goes the way I prefer, great, if not, I'll live.
The angst and anger generated buy some is startling and not healthy. -
To be fair, it didn't do Denmark any harm, drafted in at the last minute and won the tournament.Tbh I’d rather Scotland get there through a proper route. After a 22 year absence from a tournament this would be an embarrassing way to re-enter. -
I don't think anybody is going to get a landslide in this election, I doubt anybody will even get a majority

Sorry to butt in on this discourse but I think the you're both right if that helps, yes the mention of a referendum on EU membership was floated but it wasn't party policy for any mainstream party, the better together campaign were able to make this claim specifically because the French and Spanish stated that an independent Scotland would have to leave the EU and re-apply and may be refused. This was self interest of course because of Catalan and Basque claims. Both have now said that they would welcome an independent Scotland as circumstances have changed due to Brexit. Complaining now is a bit like complaining about the claim on the Brexit bus - it was lazy and partisan journalism that all claims in a campaign aren't necessarily tested.I don't know what to say to you CS.
Maybe we hang around in different types of circles.
In 2014 we had No politicians saying "The only way to guarantee staying in the EU is to vote No".
We agree on that.
Where we disagree is that I find it completely inconceivable that an intelligent person would leave it at that without responding "Hang on. If the Tories win next year, we'll be having an EU referendum anyway within a couple of years and if we vote to leave we'll be out of the EU anyway". You seem to be suggesting that because the EU referendum car crash wasn't sitting right in front of our noses that it wasn't relevant to even consider it. To me it is utterly bizarre to not think ahead a little to see potential scenarios like that but if that's the thought process you had then fair enough. I can assure you that it was a very real possibility and plenty of people up here were talking about it even if you weren't.

Unless Bojo builds his bridge between Scotland and N.I. and has customs border between Scotland and England
If this turns out to be true, every nation gets what it voted for except Scotland, England & Wales - Leave and N.I. - remain. Another gift to the independence movement. -
the "gammon" leaning Daily Express is outraged...If what Boris is refusing to deny is true
the DUP better get greased up ...
Johnson refuses to rule out Northern Ireland staying in customs union
Boris offering Northern Ireland as ‘sacrificial lamb’ as he looks set to backtrack on deal
If this turns out to be true, every nation gets what it voted for except Scotland, England & Wales - Leave and N.I. - remain. Another gift to the independence movement.

I've enjoyed this thread, though I haven't until now contributed, it has, on the whole been well argued and interesting. For the sake of stopping it going down the pan in an endless " he said, she said" pointless argument I would have to say that Slarti at no point said what people need, and Jaybee, you'll have to just accept that and admit it, otherwise let's crack on with one of our better threads. Probably about time for some Jung or Neitsche quotes.

FFS, do you think he'll stay on here talking to himself all day, I suppose it'll get his post count and likes up.
-
What happened to his self-imposed exile? He posted as Dr Rotund for 2 days, then he's back as Ricky. Promises, promises

I think there is 2 ways of thinking, firstly the manager identifies targets and gives his targets to the board/dof/CEO, to get contracts signed. In which case I don't see the point in Gus, or secondly, the DOF identifies targets and pursues contracts and has JG as head coach in which case I don't see why we haven't signed anyone so far as a change of manager wouldn't affect recruitment. Maybe I'm cynical or maybe Gus's appointment is just jobs for pals, bottom line is that the current set up isn't serving smfc very well.

Don't listen to the naysayers Flareybob, just keep posting the inside info.

Reporting Scotland says ok has left the building
-
STV new just said OK's future in doubt because of his commute, he travels back to NI every weekend. FFS does nobody proofread this shit. They've got video of him in Scotland every weekend since he got the job.
-
I am not remotely ITK so this is just hypothesis, perhaps OK wants to return to Coleraine but has 2 years on his contract, Coleraine could not afford to buy that out. Is it then possible that OK is not trying to get a payoff but just to leave without Coleraine having to pay compo they can't afford. We would just need to see how far he'd go to facilitate that.
-
I heard that OK is leaving in a huff because GLS wouldn't appoint Flareybob as chief scout.

The crowd funded prosecution originally targeted the 6 pro Brexit politicians at the bus launch, but because of specific clams bojo made legal advice was to go for just him.

Oh gosh, your right, thank you for you insightful, well reasoned, and detailed argument. Please accept my apologies for not realising earlier how right you've been throughout, l must have been blinded by cynisism. Especially as you have clearly taken on board other people's views, I shall never darken your door again for I am not worthy of your consideration.It's not really an argument though is it? I believe our chairman, others think he's lying. -
To justify the position he's taken, just like yourself.I'm not justifying anything, I'm accepting what GLS has said because the alternative is saying he is lying. I don't see any reason why he would lie over this. -
There's no point in discussing this further, much like GLS, bazil85 has taken a position and is now trying to justify it so my last word on this is that better decisions tend to be made if you consider the different aspects before the decision is made.
-
Miss-guided, and the likes, etc etc spin spin spin - you asked if he was a liar, and yes he is, your spinning it just like GLS is spinning the bigot brothers figures. he made the decision, rightly or wrongly and now he's trying to justify his stance.I think he was miss-guided with police reports, media coverage and the likes on that (possibly I don't know enough about it) but yes it didn't show him or the club in the best light. I am only referring to the 10% comment though. -
He accused fans of throwing coins and spitting on a man on a stretcher, which has since been proved to be false, so yes, he's a liar.Yes or no, do you think GLS is a liar?
