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 ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ โ at Scotland, United Kingdom
Replying to @UKGovScotland @scotgov
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.

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 ๐
๐ฃ | "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."
โI know people will have their own opinions, but I donโt know what Dylan Taitโs meant to do. Maswanhise, as we know, runs at pace and heโs driving. But heโs going down BEFORE the contact even arrives and Dylanโs pulling out."
"What is the defender meant to do in that situation?"
โAnd when the referee is called to the monitor, youโve got an experienced VAR (Andrew Dallas) basically telling a young referee that heโs made a mistake. Itโd 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."
โI wouldnโt 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

Would say though, despite the standard of refereeing, it has been really enjoyable watching United recently.

We are aware that some supporters purchasing tickets for our trip to Hibs may receive a blank e-ticket.
We are working hard to resolve the issue. All supporters who have already purchased a ticket will receive an updated e-ticket.
Thank you for your patience.

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
"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.

United must be awfully efficient with their fouls. Near the top in terms of cards, but near the bottom in terms of fouls. โ at Newbridge, Scotland

Wonder if Martin OโNeill is watching Dundee United vs Wrexham tonight.
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.
