Your wrong here re more lies etc Torres This will happen whether it's a yes or no vote . There is a 400 million pound deficit . Our NHS chairman has been quite open about It. the NHS are having to reshape itself over the next two years is something He has been predicting since last summer. That will happen regardless of a Yes or No vote!

Firstly I don't read the daily star doughnut man . My quote was taken directly from the BBC gossip page They also had the following Manchester City face losing England midfielder James Milner, 28, in January - and they are lining up Southampton's James Ward-Prowse, 19, or Jay Rodriguez, 25, to replace him. (Daily Star) So don't shoot the messenger . All I was doing was trying to bring a bit of humour re Erwin Keoman post . I'm not a bed wetter and given the fact RK as said he's here for sometime , I thought the article re Koeman to Newcastke was phish . It's scary when the site administrator has a pop at you for copying something directly from the BBC I have said all along they make things up or sensationalise the news .

Well Mr administrator and dig dig . I will except your apologies . This from the daily Star on Monday taken from the BBC gossip column . Newcastle are considering former Manchester United boss David Moyes, ex-Crystal Palace coach Tony Pulis and Southampton's Ronald Koeman to replace current manager Alan Pardew after a poor start to the season. (Daily Star)

Lots of them are missing why no picture of Morgan , long and co .

Yes campaigners have been destroy no posters up here . Meanwhile the yes campaigners have been to the police saying their shop window has been criminally vandalised . I walked past the shop lunch time .expecting to see it boarded up . It's been a hideous act of violence . Someone had used lipstick and written the word no with a kiss at the end of it . Sinister and worrying times in Orkney

That's good coming from you alps . You don't even live in the UK

Hes being groomed to takeover from his brother who is being targeted by Newcastle as a replacement from Pardew according to the popoluar papers

Pap , I haven't fallen for the scare stories, again you are off the mark . Even yes voters are concerned about the future and do not understand King Alex reasoning . Those that work in the oil industry are quietly saying the oil reserves are not as big as salmond states . Yes there could be some good areas . We already gave some like free prescriptions for all, I actually disagree with this . The SNP have already divided the western and northern Isles . They favour the western islands and give them more benefits cash and not to mention the RET funding . Spurgeon gives massive subsidies to them and supporting their ferry system Orkney and Shetland do not get that and Orkney are the poor country cousins when it comes to support from the Scottish Gov . We have very aging ferries but no support from The SNP to help replace them unlike western isles We have an initiative called our isles our future . Sounds good but lots of false promises coming out of holyrood , still let's see what happens on Friday . So Pap it's not about scare stories it's about being realistic , and yes I am worried about the break up of the union. . There's going to be a lot of turbulence for several years to come if it is a yes vote . There's a lot of violence , abuse and threats going around its in both sides but the yes campaigners are the biggest culprits . I woman got smacked in the nose today by a yes male thug because she was a no supporter . It's okay to wear a yes sticker but wear a no sticker or put one in your window and you may end up with a brick thru your window or a smack in the face .

The transfer gossip rumours are so unbelievable . United to spend approx another 250 million in the January window. Another mass exodus of saints players Spider-Man Jay Rod , Ward prowse and Clyne plus our manager to Newcastle Where do these journos make up such trash

I asked Mr Salmond what should I do should I say yes or should I say no Heres what he said to me Wash yer mouth my son and listen to the prodigal son and suport the yes , We Hate the English , We Hate the Enmglish and the Tories Oh and All former and serving British Servicemen and women are murderers B;loody Krankies

Pap Your barking up the worng avenue, I know exactly where Batman is coming from , Its a shame that you you dont understand the atmosphere up here . The more vocal yes candidates will not listen to reasoned arguments from the undecided and no people, They think they are so smug and love shouting down those with a difffering view point Whatever happens this thursday. There will be a divided nation up here and lots of hurt , frustration and anger on one side or the other So Pap stay safe in your Ivory tower.

Alpine . You idiot would you like me to print the rest if the article . I notice you focus on a few words suggesting I am confused Your as bad as that idiot who tried to convince me to vote yes . He said their were no patrol boats that's why salmond will be order six patrol boats . But hey you have never served and the nearest you have got to military hardware is buying the janes magazine . Here's some more of the article “The largest protection vessels stationed in Scottish waters are those of the fisheries protection vessels run by the Scottish government.” – The basing of a large surface warship, such as a Type 23 frigate, would make little sense not least due to the ridiculous logistics trail it would create but due to the fact that the vessels already based in Scotland are perfectly capable of dealing with the roles they are assigned from patrol to war-fighting. If the need ever materialised to station a major surface warship in Scotland, a handful are always within half a days sailing away. “It is absurd for a nation with a coastline longer than India’s to have no major surface vessels.” – This completely ignores the fact that the primary anti-surface platform in the Royal Navy is the nuclear powered (not armed) submarine of which there are many in Scotland which even more to follow in the next few years. A Scotland Office spokesman said: “Yet again the Scottish Government have passed up an opportunity to share a coherent, positive and substantive plan with the people of Scotland on how they propose to maintain Scotland’s defence and security, and sustain thousands of jobs in Scotland’s defence industry.” It seems evident that Scottish FM Alex Salmond seems to be playing politics, as politicians do, however with a sensational slip of the tongue he’s dismissed 20 vessels ranging from nuclear powered submarines to armed patrol vessels, making up over 100,000 tonnes of shipping.

I wish I had known this yesterday from January 2014 Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond seems to have put his foot in his own mouth when he made a speech in Lerwick, the capital and main port of the Shetland Islands in Scotland. The speech was centred around what appeared to be a significant misunderstanding of Royal Navy basing procedures and operational doctrine. For the sake of simplicity and ease of understanding, I have broken down the speech into relevant points. “The navy does not have a single major surface vessel based in Scotland.” – This is a curious statement in my opinion, while true it seems to be disingenuous. He seems to have forgotten the role played by the submarines HMS Vanguard, HMS Victorious and HMS Vigilant, HMS Vengeance and HMS Astute. He has also forgotten the armed patrol ships HMS Tracker, HMS Raider and HMS Pursuer. The armed minehunters HMS Penzance, HMS Pembroke, HMS Grimsby, HMS Bangor, HMS Ramsey, HMS Blyth and HMS Shoreham. He also seems to have forgotten that HMS Tireless, HMS Torbay, HMS Trenchant, HMS Talent and HMS Triumph (followed by their Astute class replacements) are soon to move to HMNB Clyde.

Batman and co . spot on the guy in Aberdeen was talking shyte . But he was so fixed in his views or had been indoctrinated in those views he would never change . Even if you showed we'd him the aircraft and navy vessels based up here .

In Aberdeen to day and I have to say I nearly saw the red mist when I was speaking to a Yes campaigner I was asking about defence and the Royal British Leagion his immediate response was we will be having our own Scottish Armed forces -and will have our own Scottish legion . I pointed out the RBL was about British servicemen . To which he said and I quote the British armed forces start or go looking to start wars . When we have a Scottish armed forces we will not be starting wars like the British . He also said the British do not provide aircraft or patrol boats in Scotland they only patrol England . I told him that was not the case . He then went on about Iraq and we started that and where were the weapons of mass destruction . I was getting rather incensed , trying to explain our roles on op Telic and Herrick . I told him a friend of mine daughter (a medic ) was killed in Iraq and her close friend was killed in afghan treating wounded soldiers . His response was well they shouldn't have been there and making references to British armed forces starting wars I was so close to a David prutton moment . You just can't get an honest answer from them . They just want to shove the anti British agenda in peoples faces who have different view to their own

I loved RK's comment about Franny , I had one of those brief emotional choke moments when I read Franny is great we all admire him.

Wild saint . I don't know how many saints fans have put their hands in their pockets . I donated early on before he started the run I take your point though . But while the owners of the dead dogs will be very upset but over a £1million inside two days , that seems a bit over the top . Maybe the manc footballers donated 5% of their weekly salary . It's rarely that amount of money is raised in such a very short period following a national disaster . Oh and don't get me started on irresponsible dog owners who allow their dogs to do a puncheon and crap wherever they want without cleaning it up

Franny does that challenge and raises a pittance , some chav up North torches a kennel and with in a couple days over a million has been donated to the kennels . Strange world we live in

Minsk there are lots of Scottish forces based out Scotland who are not eligible to vote as they have not lived or been based in Scotland for the qualifying period. My information come from forces websites and military friends. As for your comment re foreigners . Im told that eu people who have lived in Scotland during the residential qualifying even though they have gone back to their own country . Still get to vote , It was mentioned when the the referendum first kicked off . But to be fair to the Scot gov they have to set guidelines as to who can / cannot vote based on the electoral roll of Scotland .

The yes supporters are so full of it up here, they just despise those with a different view point friends are actually falling out with each other, The really tradegy of this whole referendum debate is that the media are just listening to those who shout the loudest, namely the salmond rent a mob supporters BBC Scoltland interviewers are a strange bunch The call the Krankies always by their christian names whislt the no leaders are always addresssed by their surnames This morning , when the news was on BBC SCotland they interviewd alex about RBS and Standard life potentially moving aspects on their investments to London Salmond said its not true I have a letter that was given to staff this morning , Mocked the content and said their will be no job losses he poo pooed every question put to him about this and said it was just the negative no politicians who were telling lies and spreading negativity as usual He also said he had spoken to some fund manger in aberdeen and he was assured there would be no impact oj jobs etc if some aspects were moved to London Salmond is one of the most arrogant and egotistical individuals you would ever want to meet Still , I can stop paying my membership to The Royal British Legion Scotland if it is a Yes vote, Im not going to join the new organisation The Scottish Legion if it is a Yes vote Salomnds cronies have said that it will still be called Royal British Legion and the legion will still be able to fly the Union Jack Thney just do not get it , They are going to be an independent country, no Longer British

I have worn mine once at the wba game, there are threads etc as well as a couple of snags, I put it on in the guide dog walked to the ground and noticed these snags etc. But the liverpool esq saints shirt also had snags in . I will have to contact the club and send mine by post for replacement

Is the figure given on the just giving site , the online figure . With on the road collection tins and private donations, sponsorship still to be counted?

Aberdeen is odds on favourite to be the new Corby in a few decades . Salmond wants to retain the queen but not the Union Jack . If ever there was a plastic politician it's salmond .

Bearsy interesting you should mention Murray The main BBC Radio Scotland sports news was about Murray dropping out if the top ten of world tennis . A good couple of minutes before they said who one the US open Sad but true

i walk past the wee Yes encampment each day in kirkwall, to see some of the folk in there shouting the virtues of the Yes campaign and answering questions from the undecided electorate is farsical, I dont think they are not representative of the people of orkney, still they can return to the pubs afterwards to spend their weekly benefits apart from two, The NHS Orkney chairman is doing a presentation tomorrow night His story 40 years on the road to Yes Hiere is one of his latest rants WE ARE ON THE CUSP OF VICTORY. It is time now for all YES supporters to hold their nerve and not over-react to the clever, yet desperate 11th hour manoeuvrings of the NO hierarchy. Not having David Cameron or any Tories visit Scotland in masses and allowing former Prime Minister Gordon Brown to lead on selling their cobbled together spurious plan to try and convinced Scots to remain manacled to the UK is clever. But will the Scots be conned by it! All the YES camp need to do now is continue to sell the messages to the undecided. Our messages are strong, honest and clear and they will help Scotland become a fairer, stronger and better place for ourselves and our generations to come.
