New account, had to be restarted due to technical issue that X insisted didn’t exist. Trying to re-follow all the accounts I used to follow.

@caim67 From a Celtic supporter! From a neutral, the SFA were quite right and long overdue.

[Gilbert Martin @GillyMart]

@Fergie_CJ @dunmorejag Nonsense. The kingdoms of Scotland and England have ceased to exist just as the Kingdom of Strathclyde has ceased to exist too.

@Galafoxes Ridiculous and slightly biased, I suspect, tweet. Hearts are out of the tournaments they got beaten in. Plenty of teams qualify for Euro tournaments through penalty shoot outs.

@jeremycorbyn What does the GFA say about the timing of a referendum?

[Gilbert Martin @GillyMart]

@CELTICBOB1967 The response from Celtic supporters has been unbelievable. As a neutral in this, I can say it is a fair and long overdue punishment. No supporters are allowed to enter the pitch area. You may have got away with this for years, but it looks as if the SFA have finally grown a set.

[Gilbert Martin @GillyMart]

@DetroitCSC Simple, no fans are allowed to enter the pitch area. Is that easy enough for you to understand?

[Gilbert Martin @GillyMart]

@CRobertsonUK For many Scexit supporters the only argument they can come up with for Scexit basically does boil down to Anglophobia. It is actually the only argument that makes any sense. What powers do you think “England” has in UK that Scotland doesn’t?

[Gilbert Martin @GillyMart]

@18Corvo88 Celtic and Rangers punished because their supporters’ behaviour was appalling and they deserved to be punished. This should have happened years ago.

[Gilbert Martin @GillyMart]

@maroonajambo If away fans were let in you can guarantee that Celtic and Rangers supporters would manage to find their way in too. Zero fans with compensation to away teams also means loss in revenue.

@calvsco @GorgieOpinion Away to Dundee and then home to Hearts. Two very tricky games that could decide the future of your management team.

[Gilbert Martin @GillyMart]

@CelticFC If I was SFA I would extend your ban for putting out a statement like that. How many times did your supporters invade the pitch last season? For years they have caused anti social behaviour at grounds around the country. All clubs need to cut your ticket allocation.

@Davo_Mack a majority of MPs voted to set up a devolved parliament in Edinburgh. A majority of MPs also voted to hold a referendum in 2014.

[Gilbert Martin @GillyMart]

@Davo_Mack Westminster is the parliament of the country. The route for breaking up the country is for legislation to be passed in parliament to do so. To get any legislation passed you have to have a majority of MPs voting to pass that legislation. Before you claim that will never happen….

[Gilbert Martin @GillyMart]

@Scotpol1314 Can you tell me which part of GFA has he ignored?

[Gilbert Martin @GillyMart]

@Fergie_CJ @dunmorejag Each MP represents roughly the same number of constituents. Of course there will be more MPs representing areas of larger population. Your quote is as insane as saying Glasgow has ensured it controls the Scottish Parliament as it has the most MSPs representing it.

[Gilbert Martin @GillyMart]

@Fergie_CJ @dunmorejag But MPs do not vote according to which part of the country they are from. They vote according to the policies of their party.

[Gilbert Martin @GillyMart]

@Fergie_CJ @dunmorejag The situation would be exactly the same as it is with a party in Scotland wanting one. That party would require sufficient support to vote legislation through parliament to hold a referendum.

[Gilbert Martin @GillyMart]

@JimDelahunt Looks like you have made a Jim Delahunt of that tweet. All he is saying is that he is not talking about that subject when meeting with FMs. In addition what criteria do you think has been met in relation to GFA to hold a poll?

[Gilbert Martin @GillyMart]

@CordyHaig @Variety It has nothing whatsoever to do with that. It’s all about his anti Hamas stance.

[Gilbert Martin @GillyMart]

@ZombieHotrod @Steven1979 @CRobertsonUK So someone who moved to Scotland as a baby and spent their entire working life here, would not get a vote? Half of the MSPs in Holyrood would probably not get a vote in your world.
