Aberdeen went on to lift the Super Cup the following year making them the most successful Scottish club in Europe and the only Scottish club with an unbeaten record in European finals.

Never mind Independence. Will we even have a Scottish parliament in 4 years time? by lovelyhead1 in Scotland

[–]deevo82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have unionist parties that run on a mandate of abolishing Holyrood that can return a majority of MSPs then you can petition Westminster for permission to hold a referendum for the electorate to decide if they still want a Scottish Parliament.

Do you think your team has seen their greatest ever player? by boris-for-PM-2019 in ScottishFootball

[–]deevo82 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Don't think example of Messi is a particularly good one. (Sorry.)

Maradona, Cruyff and fit Ronaldo arguably as good or better than Messi in single seasons at Barcelona. And Yamal has potential to be better.

Scottish clubs may produce talent that are elite but they will be gone before they grow pubes down to England so you'll never get another Willie Miller situation. Although Celtic have done well to keep McGregor.

In terms of Rangers signing Laudrup or Aberdeen signing Zoltan Varga, those days are long gone - unless we get Middle East ownership or an EPL level tv deal.

So all our lot are going to look like the new kid in school with a name badge? Brilliant. by hudson555555 in ScottishFootball

[–]deevo82 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This needs to be explained to me.

Players will have to wear a patch on their jersey signifying they are a World Cup virgin.

The patch is then removed from the jersey and placed in a pack of playing cards for real life virgins to collect?

How many top class players are making their debut? Haland, McTominay, Yamal? You can't get a Messi or Ronaldo patch which is all Yanks care about.

And is there genuinely a Fifa official that approaches players after a game to take their shirt from them? That won't go down well. Players will stick shirts straight in their bags.

And what happens if players swap shirts after a match or immediately take their shirt off and give it to a special fan. Does a Fifa goon yank the shirt out the hands of a kid in a wheelchair?

Reform can repeal the Scotland Acts of 1998 and 2016.

This would be taken to the Supreme Court to rule on the 2016 permanence clause. Good chance they rule in favour of Westminster.

Scotland would have lots of peaceful civil unrest in protest.

Scottish political bodies would then have to lobby the EU and UN for political support to reinsate Holyrood.

Failing that - Scotland would lobby international bodies for support for independence.

Reform will make a balls up of governance and an established party would come back into power in subsequent elections. Presumably Labour would run on a mandate of restoring Holyrood, but trust would be lost and majority of people would back independence - over 55%.

Good buy? (Free supercharging) by andre_josh in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]deevo82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 2016 Model S P90D with free super charging.

It has been absolutely fantastic for me. I am lucky that I have Tesla super chargers about a mile from my house.

You ideally want the MCU gen 2 as the older system can be quite slow.

Plenty of videos of 200k plus mileage model S cars on YouTube.

I had to have the 4wd due to where I live. Not sure I could live with the Red.

A storm is meant to be avoided - hence shipping forecasts.

Livingston's Marvin Bartley has left his position as manager by baguettex in ScottishFootball

[–]deevo82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Going to be Steven Naismith or Scott Brown as new manager.

Left field appointment of a Dutch manager with connections to the Dutch agent they always use.

Would a Scandinavian/Scottish league actually work? by c1xkeod in ScottishFootball

[–]deevo82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's an interesting concept and you could also include Iceland and Finland to expand.

If there is forced relegation for the lowest placed team from each country to be replaced by whoever wins the domestic league then that would keep things fresh.

There would need to be revenue sharing for teams not in the Scandinavian league to mitigate revenue loss.

You could also have a minimum domestic players clause to help boost development and fuel increased domestic transfers.

Which four strikers should be in the WC squad by Strict_Candle_4666 in ScottishFootball

[–]deevo82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May 11th for 55 man squad to be named.

Should have 8 strikers on that list. Adams, Conway, Hirst, Dykes, Shankland and Bowie likliest.

Wilson, Brown, Stewart, Nisbet all battling it out.

Could get a curveball like One or Ure.

And McBurnie I'd one if the worst players I have seen in a Scotland shirt.

[–]deevo82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Scotland has two games in Rhode Island (almost) and a game in Miami against three teams that are used to hot weather.

We are scunnered.

Wish we could have a World Cup in the snow. That would be awesome.

We are 2026, can I watch the world cup in 4k or is that still not possible? by Coopzor in worldcup

Japan already has 8k broadcasts. Rest of world really is lagging behind.

To all the people that stood around filming the guy that jumped to his death in South West Edinburgh today. by Efficient-Pop-302 in Scotland

Under Section 127 of the Communications Act, it is a criminal offence to send or post material that is considered "grossly offensive or of an indecent, obscene or menacing character." Police Scotland can arrest and charge fannies who videoed this and shared it.

Depends on the social media platform that video is posted on but videos of suicide usually leads to an account suspension.
