North British

Em think that would be the Nationalists ......

Ayr is not as bad as some people make out , coming into Doonfoot from Craig Tara you have a couple of good takeaways at the Co op on your left , chippy/pizza and Indian , both decent . Next up a few hundred metres is the Balgarth Pines , great beer garden, good food . On the bridge just along the road is the Secret Garden , good snacks and lunches , got a cracking deck over the River Doon . Push on about a mile and you have the Chestnuts Hotel , very good food and beer garden , few hundred metres from Ayr Beach . Nearby The Chestnuts is the Fox and Willow , great food , best beer garden in town . The toen centre you have The Maridian , good food cafe bar , Smiths cheep food . You also have The Treehouse which has great food and its own boozer The T Bar ,buzzing night spot , bands 2am etc . The prices are tasty though . If you just want a geezers boozer : Tam O’Shanters , Wee Windows , Billy Bridges ....

Defo looking at a new stand with standing at the front and top drawer hospitality. Maybe even an open to the public gym . Maybe a couple of AstroTurf training pitches out the back of the north bank . Possibly the announcement of two old favourites resigning for the club .

Six goals from the midfield while playing out of position in the Championship isn’t to be sniffed at . If we’re lucky enough to have a shot a signing him we got to take it . The guy is Scottish Premiership or English Championship bound in the fullness of time , crazy not to be in for him .

Tend to agree with the above . I’m a huge fan of Tomi and hope he signs . However this lad Dipo looks a more energetic player , aggressive and mobile with that fox in the box instinct . Wither we pair him up with Bryden or Ashford , or bring in a big hard working centre forward to knock the headers down and/or behind will depending how much budget we have left after brining in the priority defenders and midfielders . On Kerr walking , again cracking player but we got our priorities right getting Dempsey fixed up . Interesting about McGinn , think the Morton boys fancy there chances of getting him , but you never know . The Wiki transfer list isn’t bulging with guys available and in our price range .

Once or twice mate , hardly a crime . Your tone is getting a bit tiresome best work on it most promptly .

All about opinions but in mine neither Murdy or Ben are holders , in my book to quote Ally McLeod , they are buzzers or in today’s lingo box to box grafters . Need a unit behind them to mop up , smash people in the air and play out . We had a big farmer a couple of years ago that did this job pretty well . Kerr McInroy was a top player , maybe a luxury we can’t afford at the moment . We have to plug the leaks at the back and protect the back line with a holder . Again just my opinion .....

Maybe Alec Gogic has finished his time at St Mirren ? Ex Hamilton and Hibs . Just saying .

Agreed .

Pretty happy with that , two footed , aggressive what’s there not to like . One more striker needed , Tomi or not Tomi lets get it done ...

So Kerr has gone and Tomi is rumoured to be going . Sad but it’s been happening to us for a long time , they’re hardly the first to bail for more coin . That being the case it’s over to Glendinning, let’s see what he can do . No pressure there huh ?

This is not such a bad shout , the guy has played most of his career in L1 or L2 , so a decent standard , he can play both RCB and LCB as well as right back . He was also captain at Luton and Stevenage . I wonder if he’s put down roots in the London area or if he wants to cash in his chips and get up the road ?

According to transfermkt he can also operate at right midfield or right back . The plot thickens .

Can’t be 100% sure but looked like Richard Foster ......Driving in as I was driving out ....

On the new player front .

Perhaps something brewing down at Somerset just now .....

I think it’s time we gave some ultimatums to the remaining unsigned . We can’t give up our time advantage over our rivals still involved in play offs etc .

After the Aero episode it seems prudent to assume all our unsigned players are having conversations with other clubs . None more so than Tomi . I think the French club may have been Nancy .

Good luck to the big guy , over 100 games with us , deserves a bit better than he’s getting on this forum . Getting in a replacement that’s better and has a bit more football on our budget is a fair challenge . Another flip the coin loan or another from down south . Over to you Mr Glendinning......

Anyone thinking Queens Park are in the Championship just to make up the numbers needs to google their owner Willie Haughey , the guy is caked and hasn’t brought Owen and Sandy in to tread water . I’d think we need to max out our points against them in the early part of the season while they are finding their feet , same goes for Cove . The Championship is fast running out of dead wood , and is a graveyard of ego’s who can’t back it up on the pitch anymore , ask Falkirk and Dunfermline all about that . Hopefully Smith and Bully have done their homework as we are one of the clubs these debutants will be targeting .

Queens Park will be spending big this summer , they aim to put a real challenge in next season . With them and Cove up our division just becomes a much more difficult place to be .

Would that be transfers or re-signings ?

So most of the “sure things” have signed on again . We are getting down to the nitty gritty ! Most of the guys left may have had good offers elsewhere. Will we find out more today ?

Superb news on Murdy’s deal . Slowly moving into testimonial territory.
