Fook me, a reasoned response....where did you come from!I agree tthe likes of Thatcher and Johnson do more for independence than anyone, but I think that's because they don't recognise it as an actual issue and think people really believe in it. Just like Cameron and Brexit - he called that because he just thought nowhere near enough people would seriously consider it.
I think the issue is that Scotland's independence movement is heavily weighted on the oil and gas reserves but those will be dying industries as everything moves towards green technology (although Scotland would be able to generate a lot via wind and tidal) so it's a short term thing.
Also if they wanted to rejoin the EU taking on the Euro would be a prerequisite and if you did gain access to all that oil and gas revenue they'd expect you to be a major contributor and you'd receive a lot less EU funding than before IMO. So it'd be meet the new boss same as the old boss.
I don't necessarily think independence would be a disaster for Scotland but it sure wouldn't be this fix-all many of the nationalists are selling it as. And they wouldn't have the fallback of being able to blame Westminster. Scotland should look at Brexit as a cautionary tale and be careful what you wish for. We went into that without any real idea as to what we'd do afterwards and the SNP give me that same impression.
Benn, Thatcher, or Johnson?
Lol, I totally agree!!I didn’t think I could be any more lockdown bored and then I read this thread.
I see Johnson more like the old school bucket and cold sponge man who waddles on when a man's down injured.Benn on the left, Thatcher on the right, Johnson in goal
I see Johnson more like the old school bucket and cold sponge man who waddles on when a man's down injured.

A big Haggis Hug from Sconnie Botland! If it's serious about Reid being on the bench, we're in bigger trouble than I thought.I do have that effect to be fair, as the missus has realised

Forgive me Father for I have sinned. Talking to my Popish pals and trying to get Celtic to buy Dabo for £5 million. They sold Frimpong for £11.5 million this week - Dabo is a better player but we're in a diddy league and all that.Nobody else can cover that position especially with DaCosta out

*** referees in Fife - who knew! Apparently Celtic are trying to get Stephen O'Donnell (Scotland international RB) from Motherwell on a freebie. Hopefully that will bin the Dabo talk but it makes you think what is his actual value. Frimpong was 21 and signed from Man City. Even though he never played a single game for them they got 3.5 million out of the deal.I retrained as a referee in Fife, the courses were well run and every session started with us being asked to bring in examples from games we’d seen the week before. I always used things I’d noticed in City games but with us in League 1 at the time by the end they’d cheekily go ‘any examples from Coventry vs the Dog and Duck this week?’. Then asked them who Rangers were playing and they shut up pretty quick!

Without delving into politics again, the leader of the Scottish Tories (Douglas Ross) is a EUFA grade linesman. There was a stooshie a while back when he missed a vote awhile back because he was on duty at a Lodgorets vs FC Mettalburg Moldovan derby, or somesuch. Back on track, O'Donnell would have been a great signing for us - solid and cheap. Hey ho.The guy leading the sessions was already an assistant in Europa League games, think he's gone on to officiate many more at that level. Only problem after I passed the course was not being assigned any games or leagues because I couldn't drive!

Sleep easy. Two years ago Shankland was basically scoring in a pub league. Currently I think we're better than Dundee UnitedI keep having dreams about us signing Shankland in 2018 in place of any of Baka/Chaplin/Hiwulla
Sleep easy. Dundee United are basically a League One standard and I think he's scored 6 goals for them? Sam Cosgrove at Aberdeen is a better player, but in the two million bracket, so obviously beyond our capabilities.I keep having dreams about us signing Shankland in 2018 in place of any of Baka/Chaplin/Hiwulla

What do you reckon, too early for this lad to make his debut yet?
Yes - unless McCallum gets injured and Da costa is not available.What do you reckon, too early for this lad to make his debut yet?
I’d love him to come in and nail itI'd love to see us give him a bit of playing time prior to the Norwich game, assuming the plan is to use him at left back in that game.
