Any time mate.

Those yelling for Morgan and Gauld to be selected are overlooking a few pertinent facts me thinks. Their form has only improved when they landed in the MLS which, I think, says more about the league standard than them. The SPL takes a lot of flak but look at their last stints in the SPL and they never performed any mouth-watering form at all. Why? Surely, ones so talented would have excelled in such a weak league as the SPL but they did not. That tells me much. Johnny Russell was the same a few years back. Hardly ripped up trees in the SPL and in the twilight of his career moved to the MLS and his star rose and it rekindled his Scotland career. That is why I would say that Morgan and Gauld are by no means must picks for the Euros especially at such a late stage with the Euros just two months off and both playing in areas where our squad has not been decimated by injuries or injury worries. It is the full-back/wing-back positions that needs addressing but no Tierney and Hickey then ditch wing-backs and slot Porteous in at right-back and have Ralston as back up. Left back options after Robertson would have to be Taylor or Doig.

Joanna Cherry KC @joannaccherry John Swinney is hugely respected across our party but the lesson of the last year is that the SNP needs a complete reset. We must go forward not backwards. Kate was right when she said that continuity would not cut it. The next leader must deliver change.

this has the potential to be a disaster if another green loving candidate replaces yousaf.

Anyone got some tips for day trips to go and see big German castles? We've got a day free and considering this. We're based round Dortmund and would need either an organised tour or easy public transport.

If I was a betting man, I'd have money on Peter Schilling making some sort of an appearance at the opening ceremony. Apparently there is a petition to get 'Major Tom' as the German anthem for the Euros.

I'm not sure how more likely they are but it wont even be 1 order of magnitude more. I'm trying to get some information on voter turnout stratified by age but can't find anything, bar 16-17 year olds had almost 80% in one tracked election. It dipped after that: https://www.sps.ed.ac.uk/sites/default/files/assets/doc/Votes at 16 in Scotland.pdf You also have to adjust who they vote for too though if we're going to actually run the maths on it. 2021 election 16-34 had 58% for SNP 5% for others (green,alba etc) 55+ had 38% for SNP 0% for other. So younger folk are 50+% more likely to vote for SNP

Every time I watch MLS highlights I think the games are quite mental actually. Played at a good tempo but some of the defending is as daft as you'll see. Not sure what marking was going on for Morgan's goal but he did react well. He misses a 1 on 1 and a sitter on the rebound less than a minute in to this video and has another chance about 3:30 where he fails to take a decent touch on a simple pass. Ryan Gauld looks extremely classy throughout though.

Difficult to work out whether it's incompetence or malevolence.

Thats a fair comment but both of them are familiar him prior to those moves. Come meet them, develop a relationship. And if schedule permits go watch players like Gazdag fae Hungary.

Kevin Nisbet back playing, would take him.

I imagine all our non-UK based players are watched via tapes rather than in person. Clarke wasn't exactly going over to Italy to watch Ferguson or Saudi Arabia to watch Hendry

Cheers Logan..👍

Final paragraph 🤦‍♀️

Two eligible players, in form, when we have gaps appearing because of injuries, with a major tournament this summer... I believe it absolutely is a good use of his time.

Full back - Ralston looks likely given he's been in previous squads and played. If both Patterson and Hickey are out then I'd say it's between McCrorie (regular at Bristol C now, versatile position wise, has been called up previously), Johnston (Regular pick for U21s, has been called up to senior squad last November) or the outsider in Armstrong who's had a great season at Killie. Striker - I think it'll be Adams, Dykes and Shankland unless one of them picks up an injury. With the 26 man squad he may pick another forward and in that case I'd say maybe Conway. He's had a good season and trained with the senior squad last summer. If someone gets injured then possibly a callup for Hardie who Plymouth said the SFA have been keeping tabs on this season.

The winners go straight in this season, runners up in to QR3. Next season, I think of Rangers win the league they automatically qualify (unless there's a freak winner) where as Celtic would need to qualify.

Subbed off yesterday, which is unusual for a captain - unless he is injured.

Got mine yesterday, they're very nice. 😁

What those SNP members who voted to promote a man with a track record of fucking-up every job in government he's ever had expected by giving him a role with even more responsibilities and even more opportunities to fuck-up I do not know. Even his resignation speech was painful. Do none of them honestly know that the Scottish parliament has a PR system, meaning minority administrations are actually the norm?? They keep emphasising "minority government!" as if it's some kind of gotcha.

I think they’ll just appear on your app end of May / Early June. J

Thanks bud.

The sturgeonites are petrified that KF gets in, John swinney and Andy’s Robertson are up to their eye balls in the salmond saga

Right, but you have to consider likelyhood to vote. Old folk are orders of magnitude more likely to vote than younger people.

Do we know what Alba's demands were?
