The 2nd star might mean a bit more if the super cup had been around in 1967. Also European cup still trumps cup winners cup Personally that star thing lost whatever little significance it had the moment they handed it over to Club football. As hebrew said just get it done with

Well the clean sweep is gone - Orkney & Shetland sticking with the Lib Dems. The interesting one will be to see if Kennedy holds onto his seat

Jim Murphy just lost his seat. The devil in me wonders if the SNP can get 58 seats with Alex Salmond being the only one to miss out. Much like the campaign years back for everyone to vote labour except in sedgefield so Blair would lose out

SNP take Kilmarnock and Loudon Lib Dems lose their deposit again

I 'shared' a news story in the off topic section of an aberdeen supporters message board. I can only presume you are quite a sensitive soul who cannot stand any notion that there may have been a couple of blokes outside a polling office who made an ill advised joke which through the wonders of social media, political spin and good old fashioned Chinese whispers was sent down the wire to a Conservative MSP who chose to tweet it into the public domain and therefore into the media. Freedom of speech is a wonderful thing as you have demonstrated already by refering to me as a lying cunt although you still havent used that freedom of speech to point out where I have lied? Lying is stating something is truth/ fact when you know fine well it is neither. Given I dont live in Annan, am not Ruth Davidson or a telegraph journalist I have the option to decide if I think it is true or mere scaremongering until further information is brought to light or i stop caring. By your logic I could suggest you are a liar for posting Jim Murpheys 'barging a protestor' video as evidence he was behind the unpleasant scenes at St Enoch last weekend. But back to the election Labour 3 Conservative 1 645 seats to go Lib dems have lost their deposit in all 4 declared seats so far.

and?

What exactly do you want an apology for? If you are upset that I took it upon myself to pick and prod and 'atempt' to engage in debate with you regarding your political beliefs then i'm sorry you cant live in a world where everyone follows your point of view. if they did it could either be classed as boring or maybe a dictatorship Its also no secret that I am anti-SNP but i'm pleased you have cottoned on and if you think you can somehow make me more anti SNP I welcome your input. I also welcome your input if you wish to try and bring me to your way of thinking so that come May 2017 I might have some more guidance in my decision Some might call me a bleeding heart lefty but on occasion ive been refered to as a nazi communist. That last one intrigues me still but its always nice to have a bit of a debate and it is intriguing seeing how people react when they can easily label you with one of the current political parties. The exit poll does interest me as we could see the first minority government for 41 years. The tories will need to think carefully how they tread as a majority opposition can call for another general election within the year if they don't like how things are going. Maybe the majority opposition could call for the FPTP system to be scrapped and completely overhaul the system? Maybe the SNP would use the situation to their advantage by keeping the tory minority in power in exchange for more powers for scotland or perhaps even that magical 2nd referendum? who knows it could for once be interesting. Who knows

Announced his retirement tonight

Bit of election entertainment till the results start trickling in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghtpdhMpo5o

Exit poll Tory - 316 (+10) Labour - 239 (-19) SNP - 58 (+52) Lib Dem - 10 (-47) UKIP - 2 (+2) Other parties + Speaker - 10 (this apparently doesnt include the Northern Ireland Parties) Would rule out that Tory/UKIP coalition everyone was banging on about. Now would the lib dems dare go back into a coalition with even less power or would old Dave & Nicola get it on?

Looking like a Preston vs Swindon championship playoff final at the moment Both taking single goal leads to their home 2nd legs Meanwhile in scotland Forfar and Alloa in control of their championship playoff All square in both ties of the league 1 playoff

So that video you posted is your evidence for Jim Murphey's 'form'? The title suggested a good old two handed shove or maybe an ice hockey body-check but instead he walks into a bit of cardboard. The power of suggestion as it were I am a bit concerned at the paranoia which seems to be being displayed with this one. The fact the SNP took the decision to suspended two of its members suggests they don't see it that way and I wouldn't be surprised if there are a couple of slightly more senior party members getting their balls booted over the whole incident. The press get a tip off? well I am shocked. The leader of the Scottish Labour party & Eddie Izzard will be campaigning on the streets of Glasgow less than a week before election day and the press were told it was going to happen. If it wasn't the Labour party themselves who called them up it would have been Eddie Izzards PR team or even someone from Police Scotland. There is no point having a campaign if nobody knows; a) its going to happen, and b) it happened. As for provisional newspapers picking up the story. Oh I dunno maybe they picked it up from 'the wire' or if they as they used to call it. Local papers priority is to cover their local areas but they have to put some national/ international news to break up the local feel good issues. They have people trawling social media for it. Now if the Basingstoke gazzette has said 'to hell with whats going on in Hampshire, get everyone we can up to Glasgow as it appears there is going to be some handbags, and im not talking about the one Eddie will be wearing' then maybe the conspiracy theorists would have something. Protestors getting tip offs? yeah because people who are prone to aggressive protesting only do it if someone picks up the phone and asks them to come along. The whole thing event would have been doing the rounds on social media days before it happened. Much like every time the BNP, SDL, EDL etc organise a march, a counter march is almost immediately organised by he anti fascist groups. However there are apparently allegations one of Sturgeons spin doctors made a few phone calls As for 'why did they do it in Glasgow? Ever heard of the term 'Red clydeside'? It has been Scotlands Labour heartland for years and if the polls are to be believed they are at risk of losing it to the SNP. It used to be you could put a red anorak on a furbie and the people would vote for it but ever since the referendum Labour have been looking north as it is an important area for them. They are hardly going to bother making a big push in non traditional labour areas. interesting that you linked homophobia to cross dressing. Ironically Mr izzard has covered this issue in several of his routines. Tonight will be interesting anyway. Channel 4s coverage seems to be the winner for me anyway. See Paxman in non official mode

I presume you know who Eddie Izzard is? Also can you enlighten me to this 'form' old Hannibal has?

I can see how that would go down 'i've got a great idea. Lets send out Jim with a transvestite comedian into the centre of our largest city to campaign. 'Good idea' 'Aye and better yet lets get some anti scots nats PR going by arranging for there to be an aggressive mob to hassle them both' 'you sure thats not a bit....well dangerous?' 'How?' Well its in a public place which we cant actually control and there is a bit of unrest among a great deal of the voting public so emotions can easily boil over. Its also a bank holiday weekend so chances are the city centre will be even busier than usual plus rangers are playing hearts in quite an important end of season game with a lunchtime kick off so theres a good chance there will be more drunken football fans in the centre who might see this as an excuse for causing trouble.' But so many believe what they want to believe 'There are no dickheads, thugs, racists, bigots etc in; my country/my football teams fans/ my political party/ my home town/ my church and so on. We are all angels

Showing your age there

Bonnie Langford is an excellent keeper.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/32604225 Post season entertainment starting early perhaps?

So this weekend Kilmarnock Win + Ross County Win or Draw + Caley win will basically settle the major league issues with 2 game to go Only think left would be St Johnstone and the Arabs battling it out for 4th in the hope that Caley win the cup.

Personally Italian football will forever be tainted for me 3 incidents of match fixing that I can recall since I got interested in football one of which was against the dons (Torino 1993 anyone) However so fed up with barcelona and real madrid I hope it is a munich vs juventus final As for the europa league? Dnipro all the way for me In other news Caley 2-1 Arabs Pretty much sewing up 3rd place in the league. Caley win on saturday and its over

Clever enough to manipulate (or pay off) two SNP Members to take part too. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-2015-scotland-32595499 Alastair campbell eat your heart out

I doth my hat (and ginger hair) to you sir

Hughes got it Johansen and Denayer got the player & young player of the season So Celtic miss out on another treble

There are already SNP/ Conservative Alliances in 4 Scottish Councils so no reason why there could never be one at Westminster. Politics is a dirty horrible business Hypothetical question If Nicola announces between now and Wednesday that she has an agreement with David Cameron will you either A) Not bother voting B) Vote Labour C) Vote for another party or independant D) Spoil your ballot paper
