YOGI IS GOD

Latest poll in Herald shows No falling 3 points and Yes rising by 2, just 14 points in it. http://www.heraldscotland.com/politics/referendum-news/poll-shows-yes-campaign-is-closing-gap-in-race-for-votes.22992382

People who spend their lives talking about mobile phones and phone contracts, I struggle to think of a more boring subject.

Interesting wee video

An Edinburgh Labour councillor defected to the SNP today http://news.stv.tv/east-central/251633-labour-councillor-alex-lunn-defects-to-snp-in-support-for-independence/

The Auld Alliance alive and well http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ausPqkaATqs&feature=youtu.be

NBC have published an interesting story on an American college student converted to the cause of Scottish independence after interning for an Angus Robertson at Westminster. http://www.nbcnews.com/id/43152363/ns/world_news-europe/t/all-american-scottish-nationalist-why-uk-should-split/#.Upu5jdJdUpM

Another good article in The Guardian today - Ian Martin: Please, Scotland, vote Yes and take us northerners with you

Pretty sure someone posted recently about Liam Dick posting on Twitter about munching shite out of Greggs after training. This sounds petty but I notice he posted about how wrecked he gets on nights out. I thought the days of young Scottish footballers wrecking their careers with junk food and drink were over, but obviously not.

Kevin McKenna's latest Guardian article is extremely critical of Better Together http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/nov/30/better-together-scottish-independence-paper One paragraph stood out: "There are many reasons why Better Together would never dare to produce its own white paper entitled "Britain's Future". For how could any Scottish Labour supporter subscribe to a document that would talk of penalising the poor; cutting the taxes of the rich; allowing our defence and intelligence policies to resemble those of Texas and re-introducing a light touch for bankers? Not to mention leaving Europe and telling immigrants to go home."

Has anyone ever been to the Nou Camp for a game? Do you have recommendations for where in the stadium to sit? Cheers

Nicola Sturgeon's Ministerial address to Parliament was great today http://www.bbc.co.uk/democracylive/scotland-25107344

"Who wis it that beat ye? Oh wait... was it Made Up United, was it Urnie There FC, Don't Exist Rovers, a Coupla Wee Lyin p***ks Albion?"

Classic! http://youtu.be/xrqINNOdH8M?t=8m42s

"Navid how come you don't have whisky tastin's in here? I'd certainly come" : "Good idea Pete, what time's good for you? What about 5 o'clock in the morning before I take the rolls in ya jaakey baastard"

1) Ya b*****din' dumplin ye! 2) Don't call me an arsehole Betty 3) She is still here, in my heart. "BIRTHDAY CAIRD PISH!" 4) Whit ye gonny do next? Cut aff yer baws and come back as yer sister? 5) A scone and tea at half past three makes the day a little brighter, so take yer cakes and fancy tarts and shove them up yer shiter

Immediate mood lifter

Never understood people's love for Lima though, thought he was pish

Jesus, our current squad makes them look like Real Madrid

Would take Riordan in a heartbeat, when he's on form he is a top player. More than good enough for Championship level. Interesting interview with him in the Scotsman recently http://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/latest/interview-derek-riordan-plots-his-return-1-2944412

A Scottish actor's group has recreated the start of Reservoir Dogs in Glasgow accents, pretty good IMO

The extent of disillusionment amongst fans with the governing bodies is unsurpassed. The people who govern the game and run the clubs are (generally) completely disconnected from the average fan. The recent moves towards fan ownership at Hearts and Dunfermline can only be welcomed IMO. With regards to the atmosphere, we have become used to paying silly prices for a matchday experience that is extremely poor. Borussia Dortmund's standing areas allow them to charge £12 to watch world class football. We're asking people to pay £18 to sit quietly in a half empty stadium watching second tier Scottish football, it is beyond a joke.

It seems like frustrations with the club have come to a head tonight, but the product on the pitch is only part of the problem, the major reason is that fans aren't enjoying going to see Falkirk any more. Our stadium has the same atmosphere as an out of town shopping centre car park. It's not just our club that needs to change, it's Scottish football. If we made the South Stand a standing area, sold beer at games, let under 18s in for free, charged fans £15 to get in (max) we would make football an enjoyable experience. The club is nothing without the fans, and numbers are going to continue to decline unless we allow fans to create an atmosphere and charge them reasonable prices.
