  1. Had one of several chances been taken or had the final ball been a bit better it would have been very comfortable result. I only really started to get nervous when we had ten minutes to go and felt they might nick one through some mistake by us. I felt the game got very stretched as it went on and that we were a bit exposed on our left flank. I like both Anya and Robertson but I'm not sure the understanding was always there yesterday. I'd have liked to have seen Maloney and Naismith switch as I feel Maloney's more effective in that central area. Back four looked solid and though Brown was excellent int he middle of the park. All in all decent performance against an ordinary side, passing, commitment and self beleif all massively imporved under Strachan

    On a positive I'm sure our finishing can't be as poor as yesterday and I think Fletcher's due a goal in a Scotland shirt (last one was five years ago!) so bring on Tuesday night.

  2. genuinely who's lord donkey gobbler again? Robertson? how about we tell him bluntly "no thanks" cause he's a bunny rabbit?

    Over a thousand posts and you don't know who Lord donkey gobbler is? Maybe there should be a list of pseudonyms somewhere on the board.

  3. Feel free to do both - but finger pointing and name calling those that voted No will only hinder our progress.

    I think Lamia's post highlights the importance of having at least some of MSM on your side or at least not so much against you. People in a democracy have a right not to vote and not to inform themselves but it's very frustrating and I can certianly understand Lamia's anger when people don't seem to want to engage at any level but still vote No because of some sound bite or some newspaper headline or some dodgy vow or simply cos that's the way their family has always voted or because 'If you don't know, vote no.'

    Totally agree that we've got to build a bridge to those that voted No, reassure some of them, educate some of them, don't demonise (all of ) them no matter how disappointed we are, how angry we are or how gobsmacked we are by some people's naivety.

  4. This is something we need to be very wary of, Yes must not be split, absolutely not. The most fantastic thing about the Yes campaign is how it brought so many people together, we MUST ensure this momentum and unity continues and spreads.

    Totally agree with Bzzzz, the goal is a better deal for Scotland and that can only be achived if we have a broad coalition and don't get sucked into factionism. The WM elite would like nothing better than for all those who supported the Yes campaign to walk away and believe there once in a genration guff. Failing that they would be more than happy if we started squabbling amongst ourselves. Focus and perseverance are the key.

  5. It's alright! Nick Clegg's got it sorted according to the BBC.

    "Nick Clegg has declared himself the "guarantor" in government over delivering more powers for Scotland. At the same time, he has expressed irritation with Prime Minister David Cameron in linking the issue with English votes for English laws...As the guarantor, if you like, in government, as the party which has the only Scottish people around the cabinet table, I can guarantee you that those powers will be delivered. Whatever the noises from the Conservative party and others - it will be delivered in full on time, as promised."

    We can all sleep easy in our beds now
