I know there's not a lot of science to Man of the Match Awards, nor were there many standouts yesterday, but...Draper? Not sure about that.

So equally we can also completely ignore the following, and a lot more about the so called "shape of an independent Scotland", from the 670 page publicly funded SNP Manifesto published last November? Thirty hours of childcare per week in term time for all three and four-year-olds, as well as vulnerable two-year-olds. Trident nuclear weapons, currently based on the Clyde, removed within the first parliament. Housing benefit reforms, described by critics as the "bedroom tax", to be abolished, and a halt to the rollout of Universal Credit. It would be in Scotland's interest to keep the pound, while the Bank of England would continue as "lender of last resort". BBC Scotland replaced at the start of 2017 with a new Scottish broadcasting service, continuing a formal relationship with the rest of the BBC. Basic rate tax allowances and tax credits to rise at least in line with inflation. A safe, "triple-locked" pension system. Minimum wage to "rise alongside the cost of living". Nope....it is exactly what every UK party does before every election..........puts forward what they'd do if they got into power. It's called a manifesto and the SNP made no secret of the fact that part of the 670 pages included what they would hope to do if they became the first iScotland Government and depending on the results of the negotiations. Nicola Sturgeon said as much on a GMS interview post the publication. It was in there mostly as an example of what could possible if we had the control of our own economy, compared to what we know will happen in the Union if we vote NO. Before the end of negotiations we won't know stuff like......will we have our share of the debt or no debt....... will we have our share of assets or none of them.......but it was written on the assumption that Westminster wouldn't tear up the Edinburgh Agreement (given the current Westminster rhetoric, that assumption was most certainly wishful thinking). Could give you links to the other parties ideas on what an independent Scotland could be like if they were in power. Personally, I don't expect to have many , if any, majority Governments in iScotland, which pleases me, because consensus politics is a lot less wasteful than adversarial politics. Still waiting for a cogent response to post #576, btw. Is it an election?

I'm sure Yngwie will be along to update us on the stats...

Yes Scotland on the front...No Scotland on the back...

Rhubarb and Custard.

Thanks Mantis, was waiting for that. Crikey, Billy doesn't half floor Shinnie after the goal... And great to see Doran flying again.

Superb!

Inuit, I'd imagine...

This. Remove Germany and Gibraltar. It's actually a 4 team league. Playing for top and second.

It was loud and clear over the internet. Best not to go via iPlayer, rather the BBC Scotland website: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/scottish/ Sportsound commentaries are usually listed there - just wish they'd add a Billy Dodds mute option.

Why does Billy Dodds sound so anti-ICT? Well done guys...job done!

Is it true we've been allocated the bottom left hand corner of the inside back page...?

Our resident psychanalyst will have a much better take on this than me but is it not the Kubler 'five stages" in action....think he's reached stage 3 DENIAL > ANGER > DELUSION > BARGAINING > SEETHE

A cup upset on February 8th...? Nah, never happens!

Well that's a waste of an education then. Did they not teach you about apostrophes at your school?

Spent today at the foot of Nelson's Column...hoping for victory. Naelifts texting the action (for which, thanks!)...but I just knew when we grabbed the lead.... What was everyone nervous about? A great result and well done to everyone associated with ICT!
