Brutal and cowardly move. Beyond comprehension on how these vermin think there is any just in attacks like this. The problem now is that the causalty count isn't the main thing anymore, it's about PR value from our sensationalist media which shows how calculated and targeted this really was. Sickening stuff.

No. If we try and defend against England they will slaughter us.

Strong and Stable leadership

European tour starting on Saturday at Slane Castle. Anyone else going to this, or any other date?

Confirmed as suicide by hanging in a hotel. Tragic stuff.

Shinedown are excellent live, that was the 6th time I'd seen them play. Seen them twice at the Hydro on support slots and it's just a bit too big for them.

I was at the Hydro and it was awesome. Did you see the opening band, Shinedown? They were really good too considering it was Maiden's PA.

Big shock when I heard this news. Great original rock voice.

The SNP need to adopt some tactics of the other parties in the next elections as they clearly work. Something like a you're not voting Tory to stop IndyRef2 - you're voting for: bedroom tax, rape clause, war on the poor and disabled, tax breaks for millionaires and countless other bottom of the food chain policies. Maybe that might encourage some folk to realise what they are actually voting for. We should also introduce some kind of pre-qual at the polling station to make people prove they know what they are about to cast a vote for.

Exactly - it's actually normal now. But guns aren't the reason though remember... http://www.gunviolencearchive.org/reports/mass-shooting

Bring back the Burds Ye'd Love Tae Ride thread. That will get the posts going again

No

What about going for one of those pre-paid Credit Cards if you don't want to get an actual one? I'm sure Master Card do them.

Any loss in SNP seats will send the Yoon Media into meltdown and any gains will go largely unreported. Predict another elecotral hammering for Labour's Scottish Branch - again, probably go largely unreported.

The Two Bru trick does me. Two cans of Irn Bru. One before going to bed and one as soon as you get up. Doesn't kill it but significantly subdues the efffect for me.

It's long established that people in the North Stand will be on their feet during the game, whether this should be the case is another issue I suppose. I personally thought it felt a bit weird sitting at Easter Road for the Canada game but that's just me. There are another 3 stands in the stadium that offer seating for the 90 minutes and it's not as if we sell out regularly if this really is a big issue.

Just in from the game c. 9,000 there which I was surprised at. Zero atmosphere, apart from the one guy that sneaked in a bottle of Buck. £20 for non members is outrageous pricing which probably contributed to the low attendance

Neil Oliver.

Is there much appetite for Irish unification? I don't know much about NI politics. They should hint at calling a referendum when we announce IndyRef 2

SSC newsletter just out saying everyone will have them seven days before the match

No, I haven't but I've heard lots of good things about them

Shaping up to be a good one Went to see Avenged Sevenfold & Disturbed last month Iron Maiden at the Hydro Guns N' Roses at Slane Castle And holding out for the imminent announcement of Metallica's European Tour for September-ish time.

I'd imagine Better Together 2 will feature a lot of the Trump campaign team
