They should be paying us after the last game down there made everyones eyes bleed. Looks like a tough one for us with most of a team out injured and Arnie apparently suspended.

Rae is supposed to have a knock too isn't he and Consi picked up a knock on Sat What is up with Brown?

I hope they get fined for wasting the HMRC time and money every time they pull this shit

Motherwell v Aberdeen/QOTS Dundee Utd v Celtic Hearts/St.Johnstone v Ross County/St Mirren Ayr/Falkirk v Hibs Quite a good draw. Not sure there is a tie there where you would confidently predict the winner. How about Dons, Arabs, Hibs and Hearts for the semis?

You don't half talk pish Tam Only team that has torn us apart this season were St Mirren on the 2nd day of the season. Since then, but especially since Nov, we have been many things but nobody has torn us to shreds and Country certainly wouldn't

Will Sky be showing any of the replays?

This^^^ We utterly dominated that game but suffered from our lack of guile up front, which is hardly going to be a surprise to anybody (last 4 home games, 1-1. 0-0, 0-0. 1-0). Then inevitably our defence make a mistake, and it was the only one they made, and QotS scored. Jack was our best player and only real width or outlet. Clark had been doing ok but is yet another who looks like he will be out for a few wks.

Really? Love that.

Why should he be allowed to wait till after Euro 2012 for his day in court? Would we be given a similar dispensation if we had some important work to do over the next few months? Equally did I hear correctly that Redknapp's trial won't be concluded till the football season has finished? British Justice.....awesome.

For some reason I had a dream last night that Scotland won 40-10. You heard it hear first

Hmm wonder of this can be applied to the donstalk community? <apologies for a daily mail article.....in fact wtf is this doing in the daily mail?> http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2095549/Right-wingers-intelligent-left-wingers-says-controversial-study--conservative-politics-lead-people-racist.html

MATCH FACTS Head-to-head England won their last encounter with Scotland at the RWC group stages last October. Scotland have not beaten England since 2008, and have won the Calcutta Cup just twice in their last eleven Six Nations encounters. This is their 130th meeting. England have won 69 times, Scotland 42 and there have been 18 draws. Scotland Scotland have only ever once won their opening match of the Six Nations (2006 v France). They have won their last three matches at Murrayfield, beating Italy twice and Ireland. The last time Scotland won back-to-back Six Nations matches was in 2001. England Wales are the only team to have beaten England in the opening match of the Six Nations (05 & 08). Chris Robshaw will be England's least experienced captain since the uncapped Nigel Melville in 1984. In the Six Nations, they have scored the most tries (188), most points (1,731) and conceded the fewest (943).

Yeah I don't get it.....in fact for the last few years there has either been a promising performance or talk of this being a good year for Scotland only for us to fall flat on our faces, so no doubt the same again this year. Apparently as coach of England and Scotland Robinson has managed 20 six nations games and only won 6, never finishing higher than 4th. For all the positive PR he gets his record with Scotland is pretty poor.

Bloody hell, what is going on, some folk on the radio claiming we are favourites for tomorrow and ones to look out for in the Championship as a whole :o So 4 defeats and sneaky win against Ireland or Italy it is then. Anyway to whet the appetite the bbc's selection of the six best Calcutta Cup matches:

Of course there is a perfectly sensible way round this, and a policy the LibDem were meant to support at one time, federalism. Even without going that far there needs to be massive political change at Westminster, proportional representation, an elected second chamber, written constitution, English or regional parliaments, all of which could solve alot of the above. Unfortunately for the Unionist position nobody is suggesting anything like that and won't be for some time. Actually that raises a couple of questions re an independent Scotland, will we have a unicameral legislature or will we have a second revising chamber? Will we have a formal written constitution and bill of rights and what will they be? How will we elect the new Parliament?

Re income tax I would imagine in the short term the tax rates would be much the same and in any case would be dependent on which party was in government, which probably won't be a post-independence snp. So many of the "questions" are really imponderables, but then they are in a future UK state too. I guess the snp will have to set out numbers and projections and given their entire existence has been for this moment I'll be staggered if they don't do that. The question will be then whether you believe their numbers or the unionist numbers. For me none of that really matters anyway as I have no doubt we will not be massively better or worse off under independence. Interesting point from TF that you'd be happy with more devolution, a very widespread opinion. My thinking is what's the point in more devolution, why not independence, surely it would be better, not a position I've always had. I've gone from "devolution will be good but what's the point in more", to, "well we're doing a decent job here, I disagree with stuff but over all much prefer the way we are doing things in Holyrood compared to Westminster so perhaps we should have more fiscal responsibility and be a grown up parliament and country (and shut up those who say we leech off the rest of the uk)" That would be it for me but then firstly even "devo-max" will probably still mean a grant of some sort coming from London for our share of oil and some other centralised incomes as well as centralised social security etc and thus the same limitation on Holyrood policy. Secondly why get all those powers for Scotland but then still share a defence and foreign policy? A lot of people will prefer the idea of a shared defence force, seat on the UN etc, not for me. If we can trust, and want, the Scottish Parliament to have powers over the majority of our daily lives (as we almost do now) why not trust they will do a decent (or better) job with the other stuff too? I suspect further devolution will be coming and at some point independence, whether that will be in 2014 or 2044 I'm not sure, but it seems an inevitable path for what is a ultimately a country and state in it's own right (unless you disagree with that central premise in which case all the numbers in the world presumably won't change your vote).
