According to media reports, the snake oil salesman stumbled.

Not even the o n e from ' Blackadder'...

sorry missed this one...

Craig, at the foxes, basically mixed emotions.IMO He didnt have the staff, or financial crack to make any inroads, or change the squad balance.
considered too low key by some.
His era, I was travelling too much, so I never could set up any opinions of my own,
but even now considered a descent bloke, but Hearts many felt is was always HIS.
Not a Championship, or PL fighter.Still a potential history maker for a top Scottish
club.

No problem.I heard he was just setting up a nice youth system then got the bullet.This is his job at Hearts but not picking the teams.I lived in Corby for 11yrs never got to see Leicester play ,aways working.

An article from the Daily Record on the big debate ;
Independence referendum debate: Undecided voters reveal how first TV showdown altered their opinions - Daily Record
I reckon Alex didnt do too bad if all 4 undecided are now voting YES and this from a paper which is slightly biased towards the NO mob.
I wasnt able to watch all the debate ,it wasnt very good from what I say,Salmond was abit silly at times and Darling was almost hysterical .

Salmond was not on the top of his game at all, and so it ended up pretty much a stalemate. Shite debate, I think any undecideds will be even more unsure after that.

I'm becoming resigned to defeat, and am absolutely sickened that we would blow this opportunity to leave the UK. Back off to Canada then...

Dont give up, there are still 6 weeks of debates to go!

True... I've been working in the north east recently and I get the impression that it's very pro-yes (perth, Angus, dundee, Aberdeen etc.). I've come to his conclusion just through talking to people and also the amount of pro-yes banners, stickers etc is great. It makes you optimistic but I'm pretty sure the central belt and the borders have a majority of people against independence.

In the event of a yes vote and no agreement on a sterling zone (absolutely not an option) then according to Salmond Scotland would continue to use the pound sterling. At present Scottish banks are allowed to print their own notes (unlike the English banks) which will have to stop after independence. So post independence Bank of England produced currency would be circulated in Scotland. That's independence eh......

Independent Scotland would use pound 'come what may', says Alex Salmond | Politics | The Guardian

I just watched the new Doctor Who episode due on TV in two weeks.

Lovely comment about being Scottish.
