  1. I'm afraid my stance on Capital punishment wavers http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-30150340
  2. Think thats a bit harsh. He was good in most one to one interviews but not so much in Question time debates He came across really well in the Salmond documentary on Wednesday
  3. Not at the moment - better realising our deficiences in a friendly and getting them sorted
  4. On reflection nothing to worry about for most of the reasons already given - Friday's game and off night mainly Some of the analysis of our overall ability a bit harsh Consider our performance away in Dortmund against a MUCH better team of players than England for example Secondly England played the classic away game tactics which is normally what we do - Scotland have never been comfortable being the favourites against England ever Bottom line is that this could work out ok for us. The famous words you learn more from a defeat than a victory are apt We will learn much much more from that than England will We are now clear that if we are not on our A game this is what can happen and it's a perfect example of how our home games against Germany & Poland will go and what is required .. not to mention away in Dublin Goals change games and all that crap too. We lost a really poor goal - our central defenders were like 2 lamposts Before that we had a wee period where we were excellent and put a bit of pressure on England & pushed them back which was being cancelled out by giving the ball away cheaply - trying too hard id suggest Losing that horrendous goal at the start of the second half would have flattened most sides but we stuck in England did not beat us with wonderful play nor did they dominate us - we contributed to their victory So nothing to worry about
  5. A bit better The flashbacks can be a bit confusing now and again if i had to gripe Agree with Kirk

    Hoolies

    Media stirring it up as usual - a lot of cack Heard today from those that were there that most if not all of any trouble on Friday was Scots v Scots - sorting out those that were booing McGeady for reasons other than picking Ireland over Scotland if you get the drift ...
  7. Ireland have to prove they can get results at home Their style of play has suited them in away games but it will be much different at home against Poland and Germany where they have to take the game to the opposition a bit more It may not be an advantage as O'Neill suggests and when he inferred that im not sure he believed it
  8. Most of us knew after his first competative game away in Lithuania ....
  9. Been in the Richmond Arms & liked it a lot Big Johns Sports Bar will most likely be showing the game(s) too
  10. Strachan said there would be lots of changes so that line up is unlikely as it's too near Friday's team However there is a lot of anger that both sides may field weakened or second string line ups due to how much people are paying to go to the game
  11. We just need to calm it down a bit and have a wee bit of composure. Ireland are trying to stop any football being played and us being a bit heidless chickenish trying to control a hot potato doesnt help
  12. I think we are a much better team and have nothing to worry about apart from the typical Scottish tradition of shooting yersel in the foot which WGS wont allow to happen A clear victoire with the famous last words proviso
  13. I maybe didnt explain that well What i meant was that the establishment are trying to divide the Yes campaign and bring those that have put those prejudices behind them back into the fold. I think all Yes voters have moved on from sectarianism & bigotry is what i meant and are unlikely to fall into that trap. The Yes movement is an inclusive group. However clearly the Yes movement and the Scotland support are two different things
