http://www.saintmirren.net/pages/?p=34931 Welcome aboard Callum! He will certainly offer a 'plan B' next season, which we didn't have last season. He's definitely got the potential to become a bit of a cult hero IMO. Could do with losing a few pounds but he showed in the pre season games he has an eye for the goal. Another good addition.

Players we have under contract who can play centre half: Mark McAusland Ellis Plummer Jeroen Tesselaar Jim Goodwin Jason Naismith Mark Williams 6 not enough?

The hold up is Callum taking his time before making a decision.

Year before was Accrington Stanley and we drew 1-1 I think ;) Certainly agree though, we are looking very good just now. It's not the results either, which you can't read too much into, it's the way the players are playing and the vibe around the squad. It seems like there's a really good balance between the experienced lads and the young ones and everyone can't wait for the season to start. Complete night and day to this time last year.

Hmm no. Last preseason we beat Stockport 0-1, who are one league above Whitley and in the same division as Blyth.

Ok deal. Be a doll and remind me when I win, because I will forget.

Spoke to him after the game and he said he's loving the training at the club and would love the chance to play with us. Whether he actually meant that or was just humouring me though...

Club offering the big man a deal tomorrow. Whether he will sign... Another issue. He's going to have at least one alternative offer from down south.

Two more says Spencer, TC in background.

And George Evans too. T's to be crossed and I's to be dotted. He talked at length with Tommy and SGG tonight, I expect we will have additions by Friday.

Adam Armstrong.

Spoke to Spencer Downey, Paul Dummet (who was there tonight) and Conor's agent. Sorting us out with two more.

He joined the warm up late ;) 0-3 half time, we aren't up against much at all. Johnstone Burgh-esque. Plummer looks good, Ball is a big lad and there is something there... He's looked effective against Blyth and Whitley. Ready for our level now though? Not so sure.

No.Cheesy's on crutches and is out for 6 weeks, can't see Callum Ball in the warm up.

Sure.. What odds are they at now? They keep drifting. Last I heard yes was more than 5/1!

I'm happy to do that if yes win... If PaisleyPanda agrees to do the same if no win.

It is? Where? Been here 3 days and it's more old folks home than mental!

What odds would you like?

Super. How much would you like to bet?

It's not about what the Outer Hebridies vote though.. It's about what Scotland votes The bad news for the yes camp is that the cities of Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Glasgow will return a no vote. As will the nation.

Want to put a wager on the result?

Sheikh Mansour has stated he plans to build a global empire of football clubs. He has one in England, Australia and USA. He invests in facilities more than football clubs, that's why he picked Man City, because they had that stadium. We have excellent facilities, a new stadium and the third best youth academy in Scotland. The Man City coaches who came up to see our training ground when Plummer came up were glowing about it, and I assume this would have reached HQ at City. £2 million for us would be coppers to a man of his wealth. We could rebrand the stadium - which is right beside the airport - as the Etihad and we would be a relatively local and handy place for Man City to test their academy players. Oh and, if he wants to throw 10 million at the team... Saying all that, it's probably not going to happen, but it's not ridiculous.

With such confusion and uncertainty surrounding this and other major issues, it's no wonder the Scottish people are voting no.

You could certainly tell. Might be a decent option to have from the bench, neither Marwood or Caldwell offer that physical presence.
