    Away and fuck yourself, you pathetic cocksucker.  Are we supposed to just accept whatever shite comes along and say nothing?  I don't know what changed the ethos of the SNP, or the leadership at least, but something did, and I get the impression it happened round about 2017.  We had had the brexit vote and things looked good for indy at first, and then Nicola Sturgeon absolutely Hibsed it. At first it was the ludicrous electoral campaign to stop brexit when she should have been pushing the line that the only effective way to stop brexit for Scotland was independence; then she gradually shut off all options to achieve indy.  She got a boost from her generally reasonably decent handling of Covid, but since then it's been all downhill. Her capture by the zealots of genderwoo, her apparent fear of actually having the best people for the job in ministerial posts in case they posed a threat to her, even things like that bowing and scraping to Prince Charles - she became someone who didn't look like a leader of an independence movement.  I don't know what happened, but in 2017, something changed.  I've been SNP since Winnie Ewing won Hamilton, but I hardly recognise what the party has become in recent years.  I sent along to a branch meeting a few months ago, and the hostility from many when I tried to have a reasonable discussion about indy matters was astonishing.  I couldn't believe how many of them seem to regard Alex Salmond as being evil incarnate.  how short are there memories.  and then we have subservient wankers like you popping up every time anyone posts anything that is not absolutely in line with the current spineless leadership's perverted agenda.  I genuinely can't fathom how we got there, and my conclusion (seemingly shared by many others) is that it's been done deliberately; by whom I really don't know but it's a fair bet that the British state is somewhere in the shadows orchestrating the whole thing.  The SNP haven't even issued a murmur about the ridiculous supreme court decision and the possibility that it could be appealed or overturned or at least challenged in some way. Where are the leaders that we need?  Yousaf sure as fuck doesn't fit that bill (but of course you, Aaid, support everything he does.  Who's paying you?

    Rant over.  time for lunch.

    I don't know if aaid is a pathetic cocksucker, he may be very good at it. Seriously though, other than the personal digs at him you make some very good points. Such an open goal with Brexit and still should be now we are seeing how damaging it is. Very weak leadership. 

    RIP Craig Brown

    It was the sort of details he knew about international football 

    And club football too. We were coming out the pub at 5 to 3 as usual and bumped into him. Derek Adams just signed for Motherwell from Ross County and jokingly said to him you're not here scouting Adams for Scotland already? To our surprise he stopped and chatted away about how he was aware of Adams from an early age and had recommended him to clubs before he got his break. He was really delighted for him as he knew how much effort he'd put in. Browns enthusiasm just talking about football was brilliant.

    Match day experience….

    We played an absolute blinder last night!

    Got in nice and early thereby missing the worst of the rain. When the game was halted we took the inspired decision to go to the pub and had 4 maybe 5 pints. When it became clear the game was going to restart we made our way back to the stadium and made up a rather pathetic sob story about having to take an elderly relative home. Anyway after much to-ing and fro-ing with stewards and supervisors they let us back in! (Although we did miss about 20 mins)

    On the way back to the bus I had planked a few cans in a bush for the return journey and lo and behold they were still there! So, while everyone else moaned about the feckin traffic we sat and had a leisurely booze to celebrate another glorious victory!

    Got home about 1am tired but happy, although I don’t think my hangover has kicked in yet.

    If Carlsberg did rain delayed matches……. 😃

    Neves going to Saudi. Interesting one, he's a player at an age when he should be at his peak electing to going over there than staying in Europe. From a personal point of view with the obscene amounts of money that he'll get it's understandable but I wonder what the implications are for European leagues, particularly the EPL.

    There have been a few murmurs about him being loaned to Newcastle (Toon owners involved with that particular Saudi club) which would make English football a bigger farce than what it's already becoming. Would be an uproar if f it came about I'd imagine.

    I would probably class myself as an average member of the public , not entirely stupid but not highly intelligent either. I am pretty lost in everything that is going on with trans and I dont think it would be unfair to say a lot of people feel the same. From a science point of view, most  folk will be educated up to O Grade biology at best , I took no science subjects whatsoever. And  from an understanding of how transgender people feel there will be an equally small section of the population qualified . 

    There  is just too much noise and arguing going on to get a decent understanding of it. Not so much on here, there is at least a semblance of discussion on here. But other areas of media. 

    None of my friends talk about it, probably because like me they do not have enough knowledge. That doesn’t seem to stop a lot of folk who also have no or little knowledge screaming about it and going off at tangents. On both sides of the argument .

    I end up switching off and remain none the wiser. I may be painting myself as pig shit thick but its tiring and I just dont have the energy to invest in it. Its disappointing as the subject should be nowhere near an Indyref thread, not because it is unimportant,  but in the grand scheme of things the subject should not be affecting independence in any way whatsoever.

    This is the only place I see/hear it mentioned. Most folk don't give a shit.

    Eh????

    How does that stop you drinking tap water?

    Why did they ban diluting juice? Did it make them want to use the cat litter trays too often?

    I take it you haven't had kids at primary school lately. Throughout primary school they were allowed a bottle of water at their desks so they'd go buy bottled water (maybe it's just a regional thing) they weren't allowed diluting juice or anything else. My kid won't drink from a tap, apparently it tastes funny compared to bottled water and her friends are the same. She will even put diluting juice in a bought bottle of water 🙄

    Not like our day when we had to drink out that manky water fountain in the bogs. Though your school sounds a bit iffy if it had cat litter trays.
