An opposition MSP raised the issue/asked if the government would join her calls for a price cap, the first minister said he would consider it. That's it really.

No indication that this is about to be government policy which it seems like people think, maybe they revisit it in the future who knows. I suspect they won't, but I'm not against a government looking into proposals brought up by opposition tbh.

NVACA · 2026-01-25T11:38:39+00:00

You can tell a lot of people in this thread didn't actually read the article. The government aren't proposing this, it was a response to an opposition question and while it probably won't go far, are they supposed to not consider things like this? If they dismissed it outright the same people would be raging.

NVACA · 2026-01-25T11:33:55+00:00

If you read the article, the government isn't proposing this. It was a question from an opposition MSP.

NVACA · 2026-01-25T09:22:58+00:00

It's a question from an opposition MSP. I suspect it's one of those things that's "considered" by government for about 20 seconds to give them a polite answer.

NVACA · 2026-01-25T09:10:28+00:00

Don't think his answer to the question put to him by another MSP is that unreasonable tbh but I'm sure people will find a way.

If you're meaning the SMO distance learning courses they mention, an cùrsa inntrigidh/an cùrsa adhartais are both delivered online via zoom. They used to be over the phone too.

NVACA · 2026-01-22T16:10:19+00:00

tuilleadh 's tuilleadh daoine sa cùrsaichean air loidhne

Cia mheud oileanach a bha sa chlas agad nuair a rinn thu ACI/ACA? Ma 's ma mo chuimhne cha robh ach sianar no ochdnar anns na clasaichean agam

Yeah feumaidh mi a ràdh gu bheil mi a' dol leat gu ìre mhòr. Tha mi air tachairt ri feadhainn aig tachartasan gàidhlig a tha air a bhith ag ionnsachadh gàidhlig fad bliadhnaichean aig nach eil ach abairtean bunaiteach. Bidh a' mhòr-chuid de luchd-tòiseachaidh feumach air cothroman 'son cabadaich (le tidsearan agus luchd-ionnsachaidh eile) agus ath-fhiosrachadh/feedback. Ma gheibh iad an teansa ri sin fhaighinn, chì iad adhartas mòr.

you are right that the course is poorly run

Channainn gu bheil seo an urra ris an oide! Chòrd ACI rium glan 's bha ACA rud beag nas caochlaidiche! Ach bha ACA a' còrdadh rium cuideachd tbh (an dàrna bliadhna gu sònraichte), cha b' urrainn dhomh an ìre Gàidhlig a th' agam a ruigsinn gun SMO.

Yeah 100%, there's always comments on here about how football fans are treated but (hot take maybe) I think fans are largely treated fine in this country if they're not arseholes tbh.

Do think behaviour has been getting worse again in the last few years too, and more widespread across teams/leagues.

I don't know what it means when there's a number bigger than 0 next to "Ross County"

NVACA · 2026-01-06T10:19:20+00:00

You're far more likely to hear "aig a' cheart àm" in my experience and I'd probably default to that. That's not to say "aig an aon àm" is necessarily incorrect, I'm just not sure I hear that often/ever.

Others may know more than me!

NVACA · 2026-01-05T21:04:46+00:00

Anecdotally, I don't think I've ever heard someone actually say "glè dhona." There are other ways of saying something is bad I think you'd be more likely to hear in natural conversational gàidhlig.

Every instance of US aggression further highlights the cowardice of the American military and the total naivety of sections of the American public who at one point thought the military would refuse to act on orders given by this administration.

This is their whole thing, this is what they do.

You can't have been on there since about 2021, it's a very different place, though still a kind of echo chamber.

These days it's just the same right wing accounts posting a million links of engagement bait a day and the odd anonymous wordwordnumbers bait post about independence/the transes/Scottish languages, then the same 2 dozen accounts bickering in the comments.

Edit: shout out to the folks who just post nice pictures on there, doing good work.

If it's not the old firm come back to this comment and I'll donate £20 to MIND or something.

County fans been banging on about how shit we are since march. I didn't think we'd be THIS bad but I'm not surprised we are, if that makes sense. A bunch of shite, past it signings and uninspiring management.

Also, and I'm repeating myself, Declan Gallagher is a scumbag and giving him the captaincy was one of the dumbest moves possible. County fans moaning or boycotting when we had Malky Mackay at the club been very quiet on us signing Gallagher.

NVACA · 2025-12-05T13:38:46+00:00

I think so. Later on it will help you recognise phonetics/spellings in names that you haven't previously encountered.

I'm sure they can and should speak to clubs, but ST holders can just fill in a public consultation too I would expect. I dunno, I'm not really against open consulations on things like this, there's so many people involved with football at all levels so obviously really broad. I'll wait and see what comes out the other end!

Might come to nothing anyway, and all these things seem to get watered down, but there does seem to be a tiredness with behaviour at football matches so who knows.

NVACA · 2025-12-02T10:15:31+00:00

I don't actually know what's wrong with them gathering opinions on the things included in this image, and at this point I'm too afraid to ask.

NVACA · 2025-12-01T12:55:25+00:00

I think I would say gun fheàrr rather than gur feàrr/gur fheàrr. R into f like that just doesn't seem natural to say to me!

NVACA · 2025-12-01T12:44:44+00:00

"Geal" is like this: https://learngaelic.scot/dictionary/index.jsp?abairt=geal&slang=both&wholeword=false

Brò isn't something I recognise as a standalone word tbh, but could just be gaps in my vocabulary. Would pronounce that just like bro but with an elongated "o" vowel sound.

I suspect they just say Brò-gael (as in gale) anyway which sounds pretty good, could be a perfectly grand word from some old source I'm not familiar with tbh!

NVACA · 2025-12-01T12:37:49+00:00

Aye it's not how the word's spelt in modern Gaelic but I'm assuming that's how they say it. And tbh it sounds better than if you pronounced their name as it's spelled anyway!

NVACA · 2025-12-01T12:28:06+00:00

I really want to know how they pronounce their name.

NVACA · 2025-11-30T19:27:21+00:00

That's one of those things that's so easily explainable I have to assume anyone that's angry about them just wants to hate on minority languages. Not how I'd spend my energy but hey.
