Some super turnouts and in reality with little problems. Great to see. The Scots should be very proud of that. Hopefully this opens up dialogue nationwide and gives people a bit more say in their own paths, including England .
Alex Salmond and Independence

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Without anything drastic, like the UK voting to leave the EU, or another large recession, there won't be a great push for independence in the next 20 years.
So far so good for the no campaign.
On the fence areas all returning no majority.
It will boil down to the big towns though as it's decided by individual vote numbers.
That said - big towns which have lots of non voters were targeted by yes campaign. Figures suggest big towns have low turn outs suggesting yes campaign haven't done enough.
I still predict a yes win on the basis of big city results to come .

If they get they devolution they want, there is no need for independence. They get the best of both worlds by staying in and you would expect that over time there would be less support for independence rather than more.
BBC report Stirling, Perth, Falkirk and Edinburgh (mentioning them again I know...) as mostly No's so far.
Really? Can't see that happening at all. Lastest predictions in Edinburgh are 62% no. So really are you basing this off of Glasgow?
Oooh, close one at Eilean Sar... That's one Yes would've thought they could win.
Wow, even a no on the Western Isles. That's telling.
I think it might be safe to go to bed.

This is over
Chances of a clean sweep for the no campaign?
Not likely but they will get the vast majority I reckon.
It's looking good but Glasgow can trip us up.
One place won't trip up the vote.
The Glasgow turnout looks relatively low, which mitigates the impact somewhat and isn't good for the Yesers.
I'm on pins lol
Classic case of vocal minority. See you all when Royal Baby Mk2 is born.
Wow closest vote I've ever seen in Inverclyde.
Which area is expected to have the most Yes votes?
Glasgow should be a Yes, but they've had a low turn out there.
The Western Isles was thought of as a yes place as it's an SNP strong hold but that went to No, so it's getting difficult to predict based on traditional voting patterns.
'No' on top but only 5 of 32 done
I'm confident NO will win most 'areas' but given the big 'Yes' vunerable towns to come - one person / one vote still gives me the willies.
They could suddenly dump a shed load of numbers.

Dundee with the first YES.
As expected, Dundee votes Yes: 57% Yes; 43% No.
57% yes in Dundee. Not good enough for them, but first declaration in their favour.
West Dumbartonshire votes YES. Good result for the YES campaign but probably not enough.
Expected that from Dundee. It's where I work.
Expecting another whopper of a yes from Glasgow so despite the number results left to land I'm fearing the worst.

Pecker up again thanks to Stirling and also Falkirk
I'm hoping Scotland vote for independence but it's not looking good.
Well done Aberdeen
Not a great turnout for Aberdeen compared to the rest, but that's a very good win for No.
Coming thick and fast now, looking good for no.
Sky News coverage is shite, they keep missing all the declarations and even when they show them there's a sound problems.

No is nearly 150,000 votes ahead, it's over now.
Probably better for Ireland if they vote no though? I'd have thought an independent Scotland would have tried to attract a lot of inward investment away from us...
Must be weird voting against independence though.
Glasgow to come.
One person one vote - the whole thing could go tits up yet.

Looks like a No then.
Not that close either.

I keep going on about Glasgow but it can see it now.
Narrow yes vote from North Lanarkshire.
...and a whopping great victory for the no camp in Perth. This has ceased to be exciting, yet I'm fecking wide awake. I've ran out of Dairy Milk too 
My Perth would never let you down.
