Balls. I guess it means I hold out hope that we get into the third qualifying round and hope the missus understands.

At the risk of jinxing everything, I am trying to piece together my schedule so I can make myself free just on the off chance we have a jolly jaunt into Europe next season. Does anyone know the likely dates that we will be playing?

Maimie is right. The best bet would be to follow the crowds and get the train from Central Station to Mt Florida. There will be plenty of people going that way, will be better than buses. It is walkable, but about a 45 minute jaunt.

Perhaps the reason you have not heard of either of these very able and high profile women is that you are blinkered, if not blinded, by your ridiculous prejudices and equally unfounded mantra that Alec Salmond is the SNP I really am not interested enough in the minutiae of the SNP to follow the progress of each and every Party apparatchik. And I am sure there is widespread angst throughout the party that the perception that "Alex Salmond is the SNP" is still being driven more than anyone else by Alex Salmond! I'm not so sure it is though. During the referendum campaign the press did their best to equate a vote for Independence = a vote for the SNP = a vote for Alex Salmond, whereas the YES Campaign tried their very best to make it known that wasn't the case. The idea of the debates, whilst eventually being Salmond vs Darling was pitted as YES vs NO, again by the media but this was not the case (Salmond was not the leader of the YES Campaign). The media are slowly coming around to this idea that the SNP is more than just Salmond, and I certainly haven't seen any coverage that has suggested that Salmond is trying to peddle the idea that he is the SNP. I can't agree. Two (or more) wrongs don't make a right. What Neil Hay said was wholly unacceptable for someone seeking election to public office and the fact that others in other parties may have being saying worse makes it no better. In my opinion he ought to have been suspended from the party even if, at this late stage, it left the SNP with no candidate in what is looking like a winnable constituency. I know that Nicola Sturgeon condemned his actions in very strong terms but, in my view, that did not go far enough. I would not want a man holding such views as my parliamentary representative. But he didn't actually say these things. I have also seen nowhere that has proved this account was run by him as well.

Some of my thoughts Why do people, on here, believe that there has been a massive swing from Labour to the SNP? The media continue to peddle the "Cybernat Trolls" line whilst simultaneously printing absolute dirge and abuse about the SNP (in particular Nicola Sturgeon) The new line of attack recently seems to be about Neil Hay's non-tweets, yet Ian Smarts tweets are completely overlooked (and are infinitely more vile than anything that Neil Hay linked to). The SNPOut nonsense is just hilarious, and seems to have been hijacked by Loyalists in more recent times. Northern Irish politics just makes me sad.

Has there been any movement on when Tickets are going to go on sale, how much they are going to cost, and how many each person can get?

Well Milliband has just said that there will be no supply and confidence deal with the SNP. It will be interesting to see what the polls do after this.

I'll be completing the St Meekings Pilgrimage from Downpatrick.

Looks like ICT are trying to confirm this. No one seems to have a clue.

I'm sure I'll be able to manage that IHE. It's been a while!

Did you just get a Text read out on Off The Ball?

Well my schedule has aligned so I'll be coming over from Ireland.

Has there been any talk about a commemorative strip for the day?
