Well that was 2 hours wasted I will never get back. Through to the portal twice. Continually informed selected tickets unavailable. Now through again and all tickets sold. Hmmm.....You have to wonder how these online sales work and who actually ends up with the tickets.

Strongest 11/McGregor/Ferguson conundrum
git-intae-thum replied to The SandDancer's topic in Tartan Army Ramblings
Lol. But seriously Doak will be back playing for Liverpool before the end of the season. If he hadn't got injured when he did there is a good chance he would have would be in our Euros squad. Ferguson will get his chance these games. He is not a like for like for McGregor. Different roles in the team. Its up to him prove he is an improvement on the current AM options. -
"McRaes battalion" is a book I would recommend for anyone interested in how ww1 impacted Scottish football. Most of the Hearts team ( league leaders at the time) enlisted in the battalion in 1914, along with players from Hibs, Dunfermline, Raith etc. Unsurprisingly the battalion became the British army football champs....... ........And then they were sent to the front. A fascinating (and pretty harrowing) history.

OK Steve

The match will be at Estadio Algarve in Faro. This is a 30000 capacity. Gibraltars support will be in the hundreds. Don't think getting a ticket will be too difficult tbh.

Mctominay? Man utd fans forums suggest he should be played further forward. Scoring for fun just now. Big, strong and mobile enough to play up front on his own. Would free up a space in midfield as well.

The term "union" implies consesus and that the joined parties have a decision in the matter. Westminster and its legal lackey's have decided we have no choice regarding our constitutional future. Last years supreme Court ruling ended any pretence of effort to maintain a consensual "union". Without a "union" how can there be such a thing as a "Scottish unionist?" Perhaps "Scottish submissionist" or simply "British nationalist" is the more appropriate terminology.

What was Michael Matheson actually doing ?
git-intae-thum replied to superbigal's topic in The Politics Forum
Whats the beef with former pm's. Not all of us have the skill, knowledge and experience to gain a corporate advisory position. You know......the sort of job that pays thousands of pounds for 3 hours "work" a month. I am sure access to power and influence on decision making don't come into it at all. -
Humzas Snp is terrible. Starmers even newer Labour is even more terrible. What a shit choice. .......but Humzas snp believes in democracy for Scotland. Starmers even newer Labour don't and never will.

After said independence we the people of Scotland could choose to vote them any party advocating such austerity out. That's the difference between independence and the current constitutional arrangement.

I think Bonny Prince Bob's description of them as the "Red Pawns" is the most fitting label for "Scottish" Labour that I have heard. https://youtu.be/afRE3RwLwaE?feature=shared

Well........apart from the academic papers and easily found examples highlighted across a wide range of mediums.........the fact that the BBC's own head of referendum coverage during the referendum admits to bbc hostility towards independence does tend to suggest an element of bias maybe crept into coverage. https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/17506742.bbc-bias-row-senior-journalist-criticises-colleagues-indyref-coverage/ -

Agreed. The bbc is not biased against any particular political party. However I don't think the same could be said of reporting on particular issues. The obvious example in Scotland being the constitutional debate. 50%~ of our population favour a particular constitutional settlement and yet our traditional media outlets (entirely foreign owned) are still almost universally hostile to that settlement. That hostility can be obvious as during the referendum campaign or more frequently subtle or subliminal. I recall an academic study completed not long after the referendum concluding that "our" media (including the bbc) were complicit in just that. That's not to say any bias is always deliberate. More often its probably down to a general institutional Britishness within the industry tbh.
