  1. It's great that she's been returned, but given her profile, ability and left wing views, the numbers are a bit worrying.
  2. Those figures make much more sense. The exit poll has Moray 99% of being Tory and Salmond only a 49% chance of retaining Gordon. Sounds like nonsense to me.
  3. Now I'm even more confused. If there's 34 SNP, that would leave 18 between Labour and Libs?!
  4. If 34 is accurate, that's a disaster. Hard to see where all of those seats would be lost, but would surely mean Angus Robertson would be out.
  5. Those people could vote in the local elections and those results were poor. I just feel the last few months in general and the GE campaign in particular have been extremely disappointing from an SNP / Independence perspective.
  6. Of course it's simplistic - it has to be at this stage - votes will have moved all over the place. Best wait until the actual results are known before over-analysing. Although, don't agree that there's been much movement from SNP to Labour recently - SNP have consistently been polling in the low 40's since the election was called. If anything there's been movement from Tories (who were 30%+ in some polls) back to Labour.
  7. That's the worrying thing for me. If 60% of the Scottish electorate vote for unionist parties, what message does that give compared to 2014.
  8. The SNP had a 26% gap over their nearest rivals in 2015 when 50% voted SNP versus 24% for Labour. If the polls are to be believed, the Labour vote in Scotland has held firm and there's been a 10% swing from SNP to Tory.

    Thiem giving Djokovic a lesson here.
  10. Are you sure? Whyte's lawyers (Collyer Bristo) settled out of court to the tune of £24m with Oldco liquidators BDO. This went into the general pot and the remains (after substantial fees have been deducted) will be distributed amongst the creditors generally - not Ticketus specifically (they may get 5p in the £ through this process). A court ruled that Whyte is personally liable (through various guarantees) that he gave.
  11. Whyte lost the Ticketus case and is personally liable for £18m. Doubt he's paid that somehow.
  12. I checked all of the constituency odds on Paddy Power last night and if their favourites all won it would be: SNP 47 or 48 seats (Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross - joint favourite with Libs) Tories 6 seats Libs 4 or 5 seats Labour 1 seat I'd settle for that result!!
  13. Why didn't Scottish labour suspend these councillors 6 months ago or a year ago or 4 years ago. It's the same coalition that will enact the same policies ( whether that includes austerity or not)) that has been in power for years, this is merely a continuation. All I'm saying is that this is obvious political posturing by Dugdale and the councillors will quietly be welcomed back in no time at all.
  14. Labour and Tories have been in coalition for the last few years in Aberdeen, so it's business as usual. I fully expect the suspended councillors to be accepted back into the Labour party after the GE. It's nothing more than a political calculation by Kezia to appear to be a strong leader and increase her profile and appeal across the country.

    Andy having another nightmare in Rome. His serving has always been inconsistent, but can't remember him ever returning as poorly as this.
  16. He didn't take any loss at all. The league cup ticket guarantee scenario meant AFC only made something like £490k instead of £500k from that game. There was zero chance we wouldn't sell the additional tickets for this cup final and even if there was, the negative PR and alienating a section of your own support is hardly worth the small sum of money.
  17. Bizarre decision from Pittodrie. We sold 19,874 tickets in less than a week - of course we would sell the additional 1,344 in 12 days!?! Know quite a few folk who were waiting for a general sale and will now be disappointed. We are in the South Stand and now guaranteed to have opposing fans above us - not pleasant. It was bad enough in the League Cup final where we only had the end few sections of the upper tier.
  18. Not necessarily. Aberdeens current ranking points of 6.785 is made up of 3.785 (20% of Scotland's association points) and 3.000 (1.000 for being eliminated at QR3 in each of the last three seasons).
  19. Country co-efficient points are awarded for all wins (and draws) at any stage of the competition, so there will be a slight negative impact. Scotlands ranking has actually improved slightly and next time round (2018/19) the cup winners will automatically go into QR2.
  20. Thinks if Spurs and either Liverpool or City win that would do it - United can't finish in the top three. Also need Feyenoord to get a better result than Ajax on Sunday.
  21. The games are on Thursday nights and the June start is a sign of the time I'm afraid.
  22. Aberdeen City final results: SNP 19 (+3) Tory 11 (+8) Labour 9 (-9) LD 4 (-1) Ind 2 (-1)
  23. As expected really. They have achieved their raison d'etre - why would anyone vote for them now?
