Bit of a thread I have done on Scottish expenditure. Very basic but struggling to find out how we are spending ยฃ13bn more than we are bringing in taxes under the UK union. Have I missed anything obvious in the thread? #Scotland ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ โ€“ at Scotland, United Kingdom
Okay, so ยฃ60bn raised. ยฃ73bn spent. The Scottish Government spends ยฃ32bn of that and we know exactly where all that goes. That leaves ยฃ28bn (ยฃ5,000 per year per person) for reserved matters within tax income. Can you breakdown exactly where the remaining ยฃ13bn is spent?

It's been entertaining watching United the past few weeks. Any United fan that isn't already a season ticket holder, should look to get one. Come watch "the best midfield in the country" in 2027.

Also, if we are able to sell more in the George Fox, the club would be in a position where it would have to keep back at least the Jerry Kerr Stand for all games to allow for home "PATG" supporters. (In my opinion) โ€“ at Hermiston, Scotland

The VAR audio of this one will be interesting, I imagine it will show Dallas leading Lee to the desired decision. Even though Lee and his linesman were in great position to see the incident on the field of play. What did the officials on the field miss when they saw it live? โ€“ at Broxburn, Scotland
Jim Goodwin on the shocking penalty decision today at Tannadice and his thoughts on the game overall ๐Ÿ‘‡ ๐Ÿ—ฃ | "On another day, we win that game 1-0 and we grind out the result, It would have been a huge three points and that penalty decision, for me, is a poor one." โ€œI know people will have their own opinions, but I donโ€™t know what Dylan Taitโ€™s meant to do. Maswanhise, as we know, runs at pace and heโ€™s driving. But heโ€™s going down BEFORE the contact even arrives and Dylanโ€™s pulling out." "What is the defender meant to do in that situation?" โ€œAnd when the referee is called to the monitor, youโ€™ve got an experienced VAR (Andrew Dallas) basically telling a young referee that heโ€™s made a mistake. Itโ€™d take a bit of courage from the referee on the park to overrule that." "We reacted positively, got in level at half-time and I thought we played some good stuff in the second half." โ€œI wouldnโ€™t begrudge anybody if they thought a draw was a fair outcome, but I just think our chances created in the second half could have been enough to get all three points. It was two decent footballing teams and a very entertaining game of football.โ€ (The Courier) #UTDMOT | #DUFC

Ha ha, I love the moment just after he says "I felt the contact..." realising he couldn't then say "so I went down". You can almost see the cogs moving in his head. โ€“ at Newbridge, Scotland

151 teams have faced Barcelona in European competition, and only 10 are unbeaten in every encounter, including Nottingham Forest (W1 D1), Hibs (W1 D1) & Dundee United (W4 D0). Dundee United are the only team to have played Barca more than once in Europe and won every meeting
20 British teams have faced Barcelona a combined 58 times at the Nou Camp in Europe. Only two have beaten them: Dundee United and Liverpool, twice each. Rangers (1972 Vs Dynamo Moscow) & Man Utd (1999 Vs Bayern Munich) won European finals at the Nou Camp, but not against Barรงa

"Benefits from being part of a UK-wide energy market" - hope all of Scotland are feeling those fantastic benefits as prices continue to soar. Alan here admits that energy prices are partially driven by taxes and regulation. That's on the UK government and their policy choices. โ€“ at Newbridge, Scotland
Nonsense. Scotland already benefits from being part of a UK-wide energy market. High energy bills are driven by wholesale prices, network costs, taxes and regulation, not some magical switch called Indy. Claiming Indy automatically cuts bills is a political slogan, not a fact.

Only one person in the entire world still alive from the last time Dundee won the Scottish Cup.
There are 50 living people (that we know of) who were born before World War 1. These are their names, ages, and where they live.

You would have to have a link to both clubs to even think of that stat. Amazing stuff.
Replying to @BigDaveWHUFC
There were only 2 games in Britain in season 04-05 than finished 7-1. Rangers V Dundee United and Man City V Barnsley. The same two goalkeepers played in both games - Ronald Waterreus for Rangers and City, Nick Colgan for Dundee Utd and Barnsley.

Why are the respective away teams in these ties being punished for the wrong doing of the home clubs? Surely an away allocation could still be allowed for these ties? โ€“ at Hermiston, Scotland
Rangers and Celtic will both play their next Scottish Cup home ties behind closed doors after the clubs' respective appeals against the sanction was dismissed. #BBCFootball
