Let’s say IF Northern Ireland gets cast aside and stays in the customs union until they can solve the hard border (which they can’t).
Would Scotland not want the same deal as NI?

I can see there being an extension. 
The deal makes it look like the EU won (Brit’s won’t like this) and no deal is not an option. Way too risky. 

The EU have already won, and it was a rout. Also, the UK negotiates as the UK and will bring all constituent parts with it.
Which is the single most bizarre thing about Brexit, that is not that the EU 'won', but that lots of people genuinely seemed to think that the UK could win. Even more bizarre is that so many of them think they can still 'win.
The mindset is baffling. 

100%.

It was a vast overestimation that the EU would automatically agree to favourable terms and conditions. If not, EFTA would be only too willing to accept the ‘bounty’ that comes with the UK. Again, EFTA members have their own interests.

With weeks to go, anybody apart from the hard-Brexiteers whose opinions are generally compromised, will be willing to accept almost anything to avoid it, which gives the EU even more power. The other misunderstanding is that the EU are willing to extend Article 50 without a solid reason.
