Great to see 2 of our former youth players playing in the full Scotland team last night and certainly not looking out of place. Wee Charlie and his team must be doing something right.

A poor post but, believe me, it is a very long way from being the worst ever made by this particular poster. Still waiting for Lawrence, or indeed any other Unionist, to explain why the best and most appropriate people to govern Scotland are not the Scots or indeed why they consider Scotland, uniquely among small Northern European countries rich in natural resources and resourceful people, incapable of managing it's own affairs.

I should have added that perhaps Scotland's greatest potential asset is a whole generation of young people who, if the polls are to be believed, have the confidence and willingness, unlike the majority of my contemporaries, to grasp the opportunities and deal with the challenges of independence and build a bright future for themselves and further generations to come.

Scarlet, Scotland's population is at a record high level and still growing, there is plenty of coal still under the ground and under the sea, enough to last more than a century if we were to want to continue to ruin the planet, fortunately we don't and choose to generate our electricity by greener means of which we are world leaders, we have the largest and most sustainable wild fish stock in Europe as well as the second most successful farmed fish industry in the word and Scotch whisky sales do not generate millions of pounds of income, they generate multiple billions of pounds. Scotland is on the cutting edge of developing wave and tidal energy and has an almost perfect coastline to generate and export it. We are world leaders in online and video game technology, have a healthy financial sector, are home to leading biomedical companies and have a very healthy and growing tourist industry which consists of just a little more than skiing in the Cairngorms for six weeks in a year. That is to name but a few of the advantages and potential advantages at our disposal. If you think that being governed by a far more populous Southern neighbour with increasingly different values, standards and ambitions to your own is the way forward then perhaps Canada should give it a try.

Oh Laurence I think that's the worst post you have ever made ? I am not even going to argue against as you would not even listen. Far too many Union Jacks buzzing about your head ?

" Better Together" we were promised less than two years ago. An independent Scotland risked losing it's place in the EU we were lied to. Now, less than two years later, we face the prospect of being dragged out of the largest free trade block in the world into economic and socio political isolation despite almost two thirds of our nation and each and every local authority area in the land voting without exception to remain in. Alastair Darling, Gordon Brown et al, what do you 'vow' now ? Better together ? Aye right !

He's been out of the squad recently due to a hamstring injury. He should return in the Under 18s up match this midweek.

Agreed. Would be even better if we could get a fairer price for them when, as has and will continue to be inevitably the case, they move on.

Successful youth development is probably the only way we can sustain ourselves as a top-tier team. So long as we can do it better than anyone else!

If I'd played my final Joker I could have doubled that..

Said this on Twitter earlier...but if the board are serious about making a push for promotion this season, then they need to find a way to increase Robbo's budget in January so a couple more players can be brought in...he and the squad have earned it.

Toss-up for MoM between big Coll and Polly who was involved in everything. Sean Welsh and Jamie McCart not far behind. Last half hour was like the good old days when Pele was in charge. However the first 60 minutes are best forgotten. Plenty possession but very little creativity. Have to agree about Trafford, never been a fan. Credit to Robbo for throwing the subs on and going for it. George had very few scraps to live on and the debate about which strikers should start is no nearer being solved, as White actually did reasonably well when he came on. Austin might have nicked it at the end. We’d be some team if we played at that tempo every week for say 70 minutes instead of 30. Let’s not kid ourselves though, even with Tremarco and Rooney and the mythical Beith available, we need a really commanding Draper-like CM to replace Trafford and a proven goalscorer. And somebody mentioned that Doran might be finished. Sadly, reluctantly I’d have to agree. Did everybody notice that Edinburgh City came back from 2 goals down to beat Alloa on pens?

After more than 300 years of the Union, Scotland is the only country in the world that can't afford to be independent. Doesn't sound like an advert for the union to me.

Can someone please ban this idiot, who clearly doesn't know what he's talking about, from posting !

The irony of that final line from a Brexit Brit.?

Gee, this Better Together thing is really working out, just as well we are too stupid to go it alone and put all our faith in our lords and masters, Boris, Jacob, etc. Fair play to all the No voters, you guys really called this one, caps doffed.
