  1. What does that even mean? "Go for it"? What does that mean? Plebiscite election which the pro-union media won't paint as such, and risk losing control of Holyrood to unionists, supposedly furthering the cause of independence? Ok... Or, you're seeing the same factionalism that's haunted every radical movement since the dawn of time, and being manipulated by our opponents?
  2. What do you think was going on?
  3. Good stuff. I dunno what the Tamb would do without the "Honourable Donald Trump's" representative on earth
  4. You mean you were faking it all along? That's disappointing....
  5. While i agree with you on that, it's also true that some countries have different attitudes towards women. These attitudes change over time. We only have to go back, say, 50 years in Scotland to see that domestic abuse of married women wasn't taken seriously by the polis or judiciary. But what we need to remember is that the vast majority of people from even these 'backward' societies are not criminals. Some folk on here seem to forget that, with Malkie's 'let the Royal Navy sink the boats' attitude being the prime example.
  6. There's usually a combination of reasons cited: 1. They can speak some English 2. They already have family in the UK 3. The UK withdrew from the Dublin agreement, meaning it's harder for the UK to return refugees to the EU. 4. The UK has more liberal employment laws and no ID cards, meaning it's easier for asylum seekers to work in the black economy https://migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk/resources/briefings/people-crossing-the-english-channel-in-small-boats/#kp7
  7. Fuck. Really sorry to hear that Ally
  8. Aye, that's what happened. I didn't factor in the locals getting swept up in the whole 'TA experience'. I think the late surge was locals wanting to join the party. I managed to get a Cat 2 Morocco ticket for $609 the day before the game. It was an absolute bargain (relatively speaking!). I had been expecting to pay around $350 a month ago, so i got that all wrong!
  9. That's because the quality of our players improved. Nothing to do with Clarke. 3 failed tournament finals is enough. He needs to go
  10. Steve Clarke thinks we are (and he's right)
  11. A-fucking-men. Kelly Dalglish tonight on the BBC coverage brought up the story of Souness against Brazil when the ref said "may the best team win", and Souness replied "i hope they fucking don't". Even if that story was apocryphal, it still shows our mentality. I can guarantee you you wouldn't hear such negativity about Ireland here on RTE
  12. I'm assuming the UK (7 prime ministers in 10 years) takes top spot?
