Maybe so but every mention of it drags other issues in tae it which are not because some people cannae help themselves, and quite frankly it has spoiled and is spoiling what has so far been a fun thread.Quote:

In a democracy, the last time I checked, you are entitled to vote and to do so for whatever motivation propels you. If you want to vote Yes or No in a Referendum on account of anything at all you can and should do so. I don't like that particularly, but it is your right.
Anyone who thinks that politics should be kept out of this discussion, or has nothing to do with the subject matter, is being extremely naive. A judicial process is being pursued by the various parties and it is subject to political pressure on a number of sides. The fact that the man who is currently First Minister of Scotland has volunteered himself into the public eye on this one simply brings the politics into sharper focus. The politics of all this isn't just a legitimate subject for this debate and this thread, it is an essential part of it.
We have a range of posters on this thread asking that Referendum/Salmond related political points be posted elsewhere rather than this thread. That's pretty ironic given the number of posters who are posting all over the thread with 'Yes' avatars and/or adverts on all of their posts. Added to which if people are genuinely reconsidering their voting intentions on the Referendum/Salmond due to his intervention in this matter then that surely becomes a legitimate part of the discussion, regardless of whether you think it is sensible of them to base their vote on such an issue?
For my part I am voting No and was always going to do so. That's because of the many £billions deficit that independence would demonstrably cause us and which will certainly require massive cuts in public services like the NHS, education and benefits - way beyond anything coming from Westminster.
So on Salmond intervening with the Lithuanians I think that if he was going to do it he should have done it quietly without announcing it, if at all. That's not really his style though is it? I think it would have been more legitimate of him to have done this if we had also heard him using the office of First Minister to publicly call for an investigation into what has been going on at Hearts over the last few years or indeed calling for action by the appropriate authorities against Romanov. Perhaps he has done so and I missed it.
Anyway, my main interest here is for this CVA stuff and the Referendum to both just be over. They have both sucked too much time and energy from far more important things that really matter and given too much prominence to people and institutions who were already sufficiently self-obsessed.
I thought we were keeping this political ***** off here?Quote:

However if you are going to post anything that is only concerned with the referendum could you please do it on the thread in the Holy Ground. It's much more fun kicking the Yams than each other. :greengrin
There seems to be double standards by many as several people are bringing politics onto this message board on a daily basis with their profile pictures and signatures about the up coming referendum.Quote:

Regarding the yams and Salmond people can say they don't want to read it or be involved in it but its ignoring the way which he is acting.
Yam or not I would be asking questions with his involvement as I am yet to see any clear evidence he supported other clubs in bad financial problems. Don't forget these clubs usually bring it upon themselves.
it makes it worse here as he clearly states who he supports and was even seen in pictures such as the cup final lapping it up and now he expects it all to be fixed as if no harm was done to local businesses.
if he actually did something worthwhile like helping the local businesses who lost money he would get much more credit - instead he's going to try to come out looking like a savior and again shows the yams class - sell their soul to get a result.

That was a tad unexpected.
So, If Hawrts are liquidated, do the authorities break all the rules - as with Sevo - and they are in League Two?
Or, is it a trawl around Gretna 2008, Rosewell and Stirling University?
:confused:
Has to be Salmonds involvement.
Quite happy tae remove mine, it was always my intention tae keep it off here but when I saw another user with better together in his sig then I thought what the ****, I'm having mine.Quote:

Bugger.
Down to the freezer test im guessing now?
Now I guess we find out if they're still frozen...
I suppose we can mention Salmond without getting bogged down in the referendum debate after all we have a go at Foulkes and Cardownie for being yams.

The fact that he is one of them and at the same time is a political figure and the front man for the yes campaign makes it difficult to separate the three things out in my opinion.
For example would he have anything special to bring to the table with the Liths if he wasn't the political figure that he is? Arguably his profile is higher because he does court a lot of publicity so when the whiff of intervention on behalf of the yam is suggested it can only be linked to what he does for a living and how he does it. The role he was elected to fulfil has the added perk of perceived personal influence.
As to how much attention they will pay to him I am not convinced it will be much at all - they might be astute enough to wonder about his silence whilst it was all going on on his own doorstep and wonder why his government took no action, or at least used the same channels they might be using now to tip the Liths off bearing in mind who the real losers ultimately were?
I can see the point about the political use of this type of thread but irrespective of the points made here, the die was cast a while ago when the pro independence stuff you mention started appearing without attracting much attention. For what its worth I have no problem with this however on all yam matters once a politico has decided to reflect in the glory by getting involved they are fair game for those who don't agree with their judgement - Politicians usually know what they are doing even if they can't see too far ahead and usually end up trying to distance themselves from their original involvement.
BBCBMcLauchlin @BBCBMcLauchlin 5m BDO will now finalise the deal and prepare for the handover over of Hearts to Ann Budge#bbcsportscot
If it's true then it's been fun while it lasted, sales of new underwear will drop in Gorgie !.
