jockodile Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 From australia it is alwàys hard to guage but do I detect a shift in the chances. Can we really do this? My colleagues at a big aussie bank team building today were asking about it. My response was we should say yes, if it is no it is only a generation until yes. But can we do it now....

Auld_Reekie Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 The mood is incredible and feels as if Yes could hit 60% at least but I think the reality is it's incredibly tight right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristolhibby Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 You happily use the term Jock? Strange. Play on words. Rhymes with croc. I like it. Anyway it's our word we can use it. Also, used extensively in the Scottish regiments. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alt-Del Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 The mood is incredible and feels as if Yes could hit 60% at least but I think the reality is it's incredibly tight right now. We'll never hit 60%... 55% would be the equivalent of a landslide... I'll take 50.1% right now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sub50 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 We'll never hit 60%... 55% would be the equivalent of a landslide... I'll take 50.1% right now... I truly think that 60% is possible. No-one is moving toward no and I do not believe that the pollsters can accurately account for both the nature of the question and the huge turnout.

Return of Yermaw Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Don't tell me you're offended by the word 'Jock'? I think it's derogatory and only used by those in that context. If you embrace it all well and good. You clearly haven't heard it used regularly in a condescending manner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iainmac1 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I'm still very very worried about this vote even though I've been involved in the campaign since the get go, done and seen lots of canvassing results etc. Have literally sleepless nights over it. The great canvassing results we have seen might not be so great in reality, with yes canvass results voting no in postal votes when gone back to. This throws canvassing results into major doubt. I change my mind everyday on the result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jockodile Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 Jocks is just the equivalent of taffys, micks etc. A extremely light form of pejorative. Its only a word and as poster above said it rhymes with crocodile. I have used it as an email and internet handle since 1999 without any downsides. Some folk wont like the term but words are just words. im not overly keen on sweaties mind you :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasMc1973 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Sorry to be the negative one, i don't really see a swing, still think No will shade it - i've completely switched off from the referendum and anyone that mentions it on my facebook is stuck on my ignore list until the 19th (along with all those game requests) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alt-Del Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I truly think that 60% is possible. No-one is moving toward no and I do not believe that the pollsters can accurately account for both the nature of the question and the huge turnout. I'll be astounded (in a good way) if it's anywhere near that... There's definitely a move to Yes, but the problem is there's also a bedrock of people who will never come round. A _clear_ win for us will mean the No vote has stayed home in large numbers... might happen, but I wouldn't count on it. Sorry to be the negative one, i don't really see a swing, still think No will shade it - i've completely switched off from the referendum and anyone that mentions it on my facebook is stuck on my ignore list until the 19th (along with all those game requests) Well, if you've completely switched off from the referendum, how would you notice a swing in any direction? Tune in, switch on... vote Grebner (whoever the fk he is). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glasgow jock Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 I have a feeling that things are swinging towards Yes What's everyone's opinion on the board regarding the result in just under two weeks ?

Serbo69 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) Personally I think No will get 53-55%. Still hear of loads of folk voting no and sounds like there isn't much that can be done to alter their views. Demographics are strange and hopefully Renfrewshire isn't representative of Scotland. Bottom line I really do think that there are too many shite bags and campaign fear has won the day.

jockodile Posted September 6, 2014 Author Share Posted September 6, 2014 A poll showing Yes ahead right now will light a torch across the country that won't go out. People have a natural desire to be part of something that wins, if it can been seen that is possible then....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heuch Moray Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Can anyone embed a video from Yes Scotland by Sam Langford taken of the crowd in Buchanan Street today. Lots of Yes supporters with flags singing Caledonia beside the Dewar statue. Fantastic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
