Maybe he was worried about having to shake hands with the Tory?

What a load of shyte. Not surprising though.

IMO a draw is best for us at this stage. Next best would be a win for Ireland. But a win for Poland wouldn't be bad for us either. So, it's a win, win, win situation for us. As long as we beat Gibraltar of course. In which case it will be a win, win, win, win situation.

I'm sure it wasnae very funny at the time but..........

Maybe he wanted to give himself some time in case he changed his mind?

Aye, there are at least 37 folk under the age of 60 in the Scottish Tories.

A few months ago we landed an unmanned space craft on the surface of a comet 500,000,000 km away from the Earth. There is no doubt in my mind we could develop the technology for unmanned commercial flying if we wanted to. Whether it's a route we should go down is a different matter though.

Of course you are right that we should take 6 points off Gibraltar but we haven't done it yet. I just don't like young dafties putting the hoodoo on us before a ball is even kicked. We have enough problems scoring goals as it is without tempting fate by predicting big score lines. We don't have a good history of beating weak opposition easily. I just don't think we are genetically programmed to score loads of goals.

I'm guessing you don't know Murphy very well?

That sounds a wee bit like the English at their arrogant best. I can remember not that long ago loads of English pundits (like Townsend and Lawrenson ) moaning like fuk about having to play some minnows (Andorra I think?). It then took the all conquering England team about 70 minutes to score their first goal. At one point Cyprus were one of the minnows of Europe. Did they not give your lot a doing not that long ago?

He is havering shyte. Whit have you been drinking?

We are. They should kick us oot and force us to stand on our own two feet.

You started it.

A bit like his beloved labour party.

You speak for yerself sunshine. .

Interesting formation Mr Bannannan. Are they all playing on the same pitch?

I will settle for 3 points. Would be nice to get a few goals and get a clean sheet but I think goals scored against Gibraltar are unlikely to matter in deciding the group places. That will only come into play if we are tied with another team and our scores against that team are identical home and away (ie if we lost 1-0 to Ireland, drew 2-2 at home to Poland or beat Germany 2-1). Of course there could also be a 3 way tie but that's even less likely. GD could be important in deciding the best 3rd place team but results against Gibraltar will be discounted before that calculation is done.

Are you really young? I can only assume you have never seen us struggle against so called weak opposition? Cyprus, Faeroe Islands, Liechtenstein.

That certainly used to be the case but I'm not so sure about these fancy new Smart TVs. They might be able to track what you are watching the same your computer can? Big Brother might be watching you watching it?

96% return for postal votes doesn't surprise me. If the postals were really 70% NO then that does sound a wee bit strange. Does anybody know off the top of their head what proportion of the total vote the postal votes were? I mean, if they managed to change the postal votes from say 55:45 to 70:30 would it have been enough to swing the overall vote?

Well, dinae argue about it then. Just accept it and be grateful. We never get any luck but we have learned to live with that.

Ok , I think we are on the same wavelength as far as the numbers are concerned. It's just the way you worded it that threw me. You initially said "any other combination" which isn't he same as "50 heads then 50 tails in a row." IMO. That is a very specific combination. But I now see what you meant. I am not convinced that plane crashes are independent events though.

That is what he said to start ff with, and is obviously correct, but he then went on to say this Which is very different, IMO.

Out of interest, how are you measuring that?

It wasn't a criticism, just an observation. Nothing wrong with being a narcissistic Adonis and then boasting about on the TAMB if it makes you feel good about yourself. It's good that you ar keeping yourself fit.
