Scotland had 1 Scottish prop out there yesterday and no 9s . Everyone (bar the Saffas and Argentina) poaches. Scrap the grand parent rule and extend the residency shite to 10 years. Apart from the Fife born and raised 9 you mean? If you are going to have a moan, at least get your facts straight. Bo...

Its interesting that you said "Devolution" rather than "independence" , which is what I assume you meant. I get the feeling that most Conservative Unionists ( and I am not saying that you are one ) would much rather go back to pre-devolution days , where Scotland would be effectively run by the Gove...

Had to be one kunt or the other. I know there are a lot of people think that about her, but she’s not been fired for lying multiple times, or found to be a liar in a written legal judgement. So really a matter of scale. But what has she actually done with her life? Apart from shit on Salmond from a...

Sturgeon has aleady stated that she does not have the power to close the border between Scotland and England - See Andrew Marr interview back in April when Marr explicitly asked that question. Reading both the Times & Telegraph - the Times buried way in the inside pages on both paper, and it wasn'r ...

You're showing your prejudices again! I think the question more accurately is why did England perform worse for this 45-64 category of its population than Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland and indeed the whole of Europe! Whilst you might not believe me I do actually think it is a big issue and o...

Whats the alternative then ?

You say the Tories were the Liberal and Conservative party, I say they were the Conservative and Unioist party - which was why the Ulster and Scottish Unionists took the whip in Westminster But that's way too simplistic - what we know as the "Conservatives & Unionist party today was the "National L...

Birdy

One other point - You often hear of Scotland having a great liberal tradition - This is often misrepresented The Liberal tradition here , is the fact that in pre 20th Century politics , the ruling part in Scotland was the Liberals and before them the Whigs , rather than the Conservative & Liberal pa...

I'm not going to argue Scottish politics, but would it be true to say that up until the '60's the Unionists and the Nats were just two sides of the same coin ? With the subsequent initial surge of the SNP being the breakdown of the kirk/unionist political machine ? The breakdown of the Kirks involv...

From the BBC - Coronavirus: Earlier Scottish lockdown 'could have prevented 2,000 deaths'

If this is true could we see a negligence case brought against Nippy

Dare I say it but Jimmy Crankie has been far more impressive and statesman like than Boris through this whole crisis. Inverleith Park for a run today.

And Glasgows response

Meh ,why suggest Glasgow Warriors players /Supporters are mainly Rangers supporters with all that history of Bigotry that brings. Its poor judgement from some one who should know better

Should be good for niggle for the game although Glasgow won't need any help. They look certs to win the final

Sectarianism is "good for niggle for the game"- do you really think that ??

"Off to Celtic Park (now). Hopefully, we have a good crowd of Leinster supporters over there. Glasgow rugby players all support Rangers I'm told. So everybody in Glasgow should be supporting us, the Celtic fans for sure. Hopefully, we will have a good crowd over there. I think it will be unbelievabl...

A man of integrity would admit his mistakes I did rough maths on the issue, partially because I acknowledge how much Scotland receives annually in excess of their tax receipts.

That's Loverly, however a shared RWC won't pay an independant Scotland's bills, they will want you to send them money.

I voted for brexit and I would vote for the Union . The SNP would love the English to hate the Scots. I don't get this way of thinking but in reverse from the SNP. It seems that all the things they were for in the Yes/No campaign, they are no totally against for Brexit. It doesn't make sense to me....

It's merely a counterpoint to the "Nazis would have won the war if it wasn't for us" jingoistic nonsense. I'd be interested to hear how you believe the war would have been conducted to an Axis defeat had Britain sought terms after Dunkirk. I would be interested too. Perhaps some on here would have ...
