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.

TopCat got a reaction from mikesmfc in New Buyers?
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.

Honestly, we've been in 'advanced talks' to sell for about 3 years.
Know what I think?
I think and hope SGG and co will be in situe in 5 years time.

TopCat got a reaction from Stuart Dickson in The Referendum Thread
New panelbase poll out it in Sunday Times today.
No 48(+2)
Yes 41 (-2)
Without DK's:
No 54 (+2)
Yes 46 (-2)
When even yes friendly polls like panelbase have yes losing ground, you know how much trouble they're in. More great news for the better together campaign.

TopCat got a reaction from glenburn ed in Better Together - No You Can't Join The Eu - Eu Yes You Can Join
How would it end foodbanks? Plenty of wealthy European countries including the likes Belgium and Germany have foodbanks. How would independence negate the need for them here?
How would it end poverty?
Typical yes response really:
' Scotland is shit just now, but vote yes and everything will get better honestly!!!!11!1!1! '
The reality is Scotland is a great country just now, we are a remarkable success story and I think it's the best place to live in the world.
A yes vote risks all that, and for what end? To get it up the English?
No thanks!

Because it's in the best interests for the Scottish nation and her people, obviously.
Why on earth would he vote yes?

On the other hand, Scotland joining the EU creates a precedent for separatists. It makes sense for member states to get it right over getting it done quickly, otherwise there could be a whole stream of separatists trying to break the EU into lots of tiny territories. Every single nation has a veto, it only takes one nation to be unhappy with what's on the table to delay things. Of course it will be a political decision. Better Together have said that all along. Politics isn't simple and that's part of the problem.
Your misrepresentation claim doesn't stand up to scrutiny. I'm certainly not naive on the subject. The very fact that you expect there to be political negotiations gives credence to Better Together's position that there are significant risks involved in voting for independence in regard to joining the EU. It is the SNP that fails to recognise any risk.

Superb hospitality, that free Blyth fridge magnet and emblazoned glass will remind me for years to come.
