Another Drive4show 'Anything goes' thread

[JAS]

Right now I would rather we still had Wellbeck and little pea and that Falcao had never arrived.  Not too impressed by the signing of Di Maria either.

"We"?? I'm surprised you associate yourself to an organisation that has squandered over £135 this summer, whilst there are homeless people on the streets and starving children in the world!! They could have spent £135m on those things and left the squad alone, finishing top half would still be ok wouldn't it? Especially if so many peoples lives were improved by redirecting transfer monies to charity.

We?

[McLaren]

Not sure 135 million is anywhere near enough to tackle any of the countries social injustices. raising tax by even 0.5% would dwarf that figure.

[super_realist]

I pay enough tax thank you Mac.

[JAS]

I pay enough tax thank you Mac.

Yeah so do I and I've seen first hand how much of it is wasted inside Public sector organisations - sort the frivolous spending before raping the taxpayer for more.

£135 wouldn't solve those issues but it would be a start. Add the other Premiership spending in this window and it's over £800m I just thought a dyed in the wool Guardianista like yourself would find that kind of money being frittered around the mad circus that used to be the beautiful game morally repugnant. It seems however that you've been sucked into the vortex that lines Rupert Murdochs pockets.

[super_realist]

Steady on JAS, Did you mean that for Mac?

[JAS]

Aye :-p

Did you enter Trumps in the end Soops?

[super_realist]

Nah, I didn't bother. They don't allow lasers/GPS, I think that course looks hard enough.

[navyblueshorts]

Tend to agree with you for once Mac. Not sure what Falcao adds really. Hernandez had a rough deal at ManU I think - he played, he tended to score. Not sure what else he was supposed to do really. Think Wellbeck's a pretty decent player as well - think Arsenal did a decent deal there. Di Maria - why??
TBH, not at all sure ManU seem to know what they're doing. The only buy they've made that makes much sense to me might be Daley Blind.

Still, should give me a few more chuckles over the next 10 months or so.

[JAS]

Yeah not looking forward to that part of it, pacing from sprinkler head is so much more tedious. 12 minute tee times though.

[beninho]

So has anyone, had a google to see the leaked/hacked celebrity nudie pictures?

[incontinentia]

So has anyone, had a google to see the leaked/hacked celebrity nudie pictures?

No but I'm tempted! Jen Lawrence has a smokin' bod

[raycastleunited]

So has anyone, had a google to see the leaked/hacked celebrity nudie pictures?

No. There is so much freely available porn on the internet that I don't understand the fascination

[super_realist]

I can almost guarantee that that is what Mac has been doing since the story broke, hoping for a glimpse of 9C's chipolatta.

[pedro]

Rumors out that Di Maria would've rather moved to PSG (who wanted him). The next few weeks will tell if we can tell...

[Diggers]

I see the Yes for independence vote is only 6 points behind after being 17 and massively has the momentum now. A win must be on the cards as I'm sure turn out from fervent nationalists will be higher.
Gael might just get to see Super pack up his bags and leave!

[beninho]

I have little interest on Scottish referendum. Is it something i should care about? What impact will it have on us down south anyway?

THere's been plenty of times in the "campaign" where the vote has been that close, but the Yes vote has yet to be ahead.
THink 5% is the closest they've been.

[Diggers]

6% is nothing in a 2 Horace race Super, especially when many are undecided. Its a small swing on polling day and you losing that British passport mate.

[super_realist]

It's still a majority for the No's Diggers.

[Sand]

I take little or no interest in these polls... How many people are they actually asking to come up with those figures. Normally such a small group of people they ask, so no guarantee that the figures they have gained will accurately show, how the whole of Scotland is going to vote on referendum day.

[barragan]

you'll all be poorer because you'll have all of our debt and none of our natural resources apparently...not to mention you'll still have to pay all of our pensions

True but the poll I looked at takes every poll result and puts them together so it's probably as good a teflection as you get.
If I had to have a punt on the outcome Id definitely be going Yes vote right now, seems like their campaign had been massively superior and a lot of the scaremongering from the No campaign has backfired.

What resources? North Sea oil was worth £80 per person in the UK last year.

I know several people who have changed their votes from Yes to No, I don't know anyone who has changed it the other way.

It's going to be close, and I am worried, but I'm hoping it will be a No.

I don't know tbh. Yes voters are so vocal its unreal so definitely think that clouds the situation. I cant wait until its over.

and quite scummy. My local primary school has been spray painted with Yes propaganda, and the way that Jim Murphy was treated on the streets of the country last week was appalling.
I wouldn't be surprised if there was a small riot following a NO vote.
As long as they keep it to Glasgow, no one will notice any damage.

[Diggers]

I've found it very interesting from afar. I think Westminster has put so many devolutionary measures on the table even if its a No vote that people..rightly....know Westminster will clearly be willing to make huge concessions to a Yes vote, like keeping the currency.
Shocking poker playing really.

Yup very true, scummy as well. Love how your voting form specifies, do not tell anyone how you vote, yet Muppet are posting their postal votes on facebook. I agree with you super, there will be some sort of trouble if there is a NO vote.

[super_realist]

I don't think either side as been especially convincing Diggers, the reality is it's a complete unknown what would happen in an independent Scotland, it comes down to whether you are willing to take risk, or whether you aren't/prefer to stay with the Union. There's virtually no facts being exhanged. It's all guesswork.
Hopefully they aren't going to risk it.

They didn't make the referendum happen Barra, Westminster did, and they didn't have to. Devolution will carry on anyway, the tax reforms for 2015 in Scotland are pretty groundbreaking and give a lore more autonomy.

No, he's not much more than an occasionally crafty orator.

If he was a good politician he'd have convinced people to vote Yes, instead of being behind in every poll since this whole sorry episode began.

I think he's a cynical, sly, calculating, dishonest liar myself.

[Diggers]

Nah that nonsense. His job is to convince people to vote Yes on polling day, it's an ongoing process which he's achieving.
He's an excellent orator, has forced Westminster into taking on a referendum they thought they would walk and has outmanoeuvred them at every step.
What colour do you think your new passport will be?

[kwinigolfer]

How much time will the E.T. need to switch the RC to, say, The Belfry (dozens of better courses could doubtless be chosen)?

[super_realist]

If there's a Yes vote, where are they going to hold The Open next year?

[Davie]

I like the idea of a two Horace race :P

[golfermartin]

If there's a Yes vote, where are they going to hold The Open next year?

I'm sure this comment is "tongue in cheek" but the R and A have already stated that the location of The Open is independent of the status of Scotland because it is "The Open" and not as the yanks would have it "The British Open"

[kwinigolfer]

Wonder what they'd do if Trump bought Scotland?

[super_realist]

Ha ha, I think Gael would explode and Mac would probably jump in front of his beloved bus to Braid Hills

"capable politician".  Hmm, isn't this something of a contradiction in terms?

[Diggers]

Not really Gael, everyone sits on the sidelines and criticises. It's an impossible task to please everyone and the option is to say all politicians are just crap and self interested.
I don't believe that to be the case but even if you choose to push your own beliefs then at least you are out there standing up for what you believe in. Is that such a bad thing?

What's wrong with wind turbines Gael?
I'm fairly indifferent to them myself.

[incontinentia]

There was a wind farm put up behind my homeplace this year (well, about 1 km as the crow flies). There is a bit of a swish sound off them but other than that they're not much hassle.

[gw]

Did anyone see the news about the two guys, one on death row for 30 years, wrongly jailed for the r*** and murder of an 11 year old girl, freed after DNA test and false statements were uncovered? Incredible story,what I found amazing was little has been said about the corrupt police officers tricking these guys into signing confessions. Only in 1983, makes you wonder just how innocent people have received the death penalty.
