  1. They don't show the Scottish Cup. There is only 1 replay shown live and it is on Sky
  2. Nothing we can do about that. Scotland does not get the government it votes for. It gets the government that England, predominately the south of England votes for. In the last 8 UK general elections, in 5 of those elections Scotland has not got the government it voted for. Every single person could have voted Labour in those elections but still ended up with a Conservative Con/Dem government. How is that democratic? On the other 3 occasions it is only by default that Scotland ended up with the government it voted for because England voted the same way. There is also a myth that if Scotland leaves the union that the Conservatives will have free reign in the rest of the UK. That isn't true as I think only once ever, around 40 years ago, have Labour needed the votes in Scotland to win an election. This is another major argument in favour of independence.
  3. Only Sky have a replay not the bbc. Since all the replays are on the Tuesday except the Celtic game which is on the Wed I'm guessing they are showing that one? Undecided wether to listen to it on the radio or travel down for it. Anyone else heading to the game from Caithness that would want to share a lift and I would be tempted to drive down for it
  4. Doesn't matter if he plays or not. At best for Hibs it would mean they lose 3-1 as opposed to 3-0...
  5. I agree with him. To go from the biggest legend we have ever had and people singing his praises to people shouting at him that he beats his wife in the space of a few months...
  6. How many is too many? I thought there was only 200 left a week ago!
  7. You think someone who has made about 10 apperances, if that, is becoming a legend.
  8. I thought there was only 200 tickets left last week? Have we been given more?
  9. I really doubt it is. Out of everyone I know who goes to games not one is an incomer. The crowds in the first season in 94 must have been around the 2,000 mark and it stayed consistent till we reached the spl where it jumped. Seems to have dipped this season though.
  10. How many tickets were were we given? The whole stand behind the goal and the wee wendy house?
  11. We'll that won't be true. We will get the full stand behind the goal and the wee wendy house if needed.
  12. Sent you a pm with email address
  13. Where from? Do you have a pic?
  14. i think it has happened more than once. Clyde and Morton were names I was thinking it involved
  15. Think the night time game under the floodlights helped the atmosphere. Looking forward to January now. We will get around 2,000 tickets. Hope we can sell them all and fill out the away end like County did on Friday. Bring firends along to try and get our end full!
  16. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/scot_prem/7194829.stm
  17. Rangers were favourites when they played Motherwell at home and they were top of the spl at the time. We won't be favourties but that matters not!!
  18. Our record attendence is 7,7,53 which I think was exact capacity at the time and I think there was more in the stadium that that. The game tomorrow won't be a sell out.
  19. Not sure if there was a sudden rush in ticket sales today. The section in the north stand and uncovered north wing of the main both had well over a hundred left earlier today, now almost sold out. Also the uncovered wing towards the away end which was showing as sold out which I figured was being held back suddenly is up for sale with very few tickets left. Not sure if this is home or away fans though.
  20. Anyone know how ticket sales have been going for home and away fans?
  21. Anyone know what time the bar opens on Friday?
  22. Maybe they've stopped selling section A to fill up the other sections. No way the whole section sold out in a day while the rest haven't shown much change.
  23. This is simply cut and pasted straight out of "The SNP tartan book of stories and myths to make feel Scottish people feel disgruntled at the English." One of the main events in the immediate run up to the Treaty of Union was the abysmal failure of the Scots to start an empire at Darien in Central America. It was only after they sent two fleets in an attempt to sell woolly bunnets and Bibles to the Central American indians that they realised that they had committed the biggest act of collective incompetence since James IV tried to invade England and got a right kicking at the Battle of Flodden for his trouble. Darien bankrupted the country which then needed financially baled out by the big boys next door. And the arrangement, now known as the Barnet Consequentials, has worked more than well ever since! The union didn't happen becasue of Darien any historian can tell you that. Also the Scottish economy wasn't bankrupt in 1707 but even if it was so what? The state of a nations economy 300 years ago is not relevant to it's economic potential today. You like to mock Scottish history then bring this nonsense up, laughable. I don't think it is the pro independence movement who is stuck in the past.
  24. You speak for yourself! :lol: But yes, I'm quite aware of the distinction, regarding SNP policy about keeping the Pound and hence still having monetary policy deicded in London as it is now, fighting like ferrets in a sack about Nato, keeping the Queen, a Scottish Broadcasting Coropration which is going to try to maintain service and quality level with 9% of the income of the BBC (presumably by showing repeats of the White Heather Club and Dr Finlay's Casebook plus The Krankies live from Phipps Hall Beauly), a Scottish Defence Force where "3 Scots" is no longer an infantry battalion but Hughie, Jimmy and Willie waving claymores...etc etc.... In reality I suspect that what the SNP mean by "policy post independence" is something more like "the answers we don't have to the hard questions about the stark practicalities that people are now beginning to ask as we dioscover that support for separation has peaked and is unravelling fast - and we realise that getting what we want is going to take a whole lot more than the Big Man getting up on his feet and bellowing at the Holyrood parliament." What a pathetic pathetic post. The good old Scottish cringe...
  25. I think some people here are gettign confused between independence and SNP policy for post independence. Independence is an ideal, making your own decisions etc. SNP policy for 2016 election is just that, policy. Another party can govern in an independent Scotland who would want to do things another way. Referendum on the Queen, be in nato/dont be in nato etc.
