  1. Our league form was alright before then but our three games in a week against Celtic seemed to kill off our spirit and left us with a number of injuries. We desperately needed the winter break to recharge our batteries because we were jaded and couldn't handle the number of games in December.

    Our new away top reminded me of the classic chest hooped Dumbarton tops.

    I saw a photo from the Hearts v Stenhousemuir game the other night and the Stenhousemuir away top is a cracker that I don't think many on here would object to us having. Unfortunately I don't know how to post photos but I think it was on the BBC website round-up if anyone can put it up.

  3. Not long in from my first game of the season. What happened to the free flowing attacking football I was promised?

    Seriously, they plugged away against a determined Dumbarton team who defended deep and the pitch didn't help either. I've seen us make a mess of this type of game but we could have scored a good few more tonight. 

    Really liked the look of Gallacher and McGuire did well in midfield. Some nice touches (and a few heavy ones too) from Long when he came on. 

  4. I can't help but think our social media output has helped us land this deal with Paddy Power seeing it as being a bit unorthodox and tying in nicely with their brand. Hopefully it's a lucrative deal for us as linking up with a bookies won't sit well with some.

  5. My only memory of Boghead is the cup game when we struggled to salvage a 1-1 draw. I've got a vague memory of Shaun Teale having a poor game and being at fault for their goal.

    Not been to their new ground though or seen us play yet this season so looking forward to popping along. 

  6. Yes, the change in style of play was perhaps forced on him last season (he could have persevered with the same approach) and he was fortunate in the way the youngsters came to the fore but it's encouraging that he has identified the attacking style as the way forward. He has gone out deliberately to bring in pace and that perhaps has given the board the encouragement they needed to sign him up.

    Or more money paid to the club when he moves on to a bigger club where his brilliant tactical ability will be more appreciated 

    I'm happy enough that he extended his contract as it provides some stability. However I doubt he will see out the full duration, whether due to us sacking him or another club coming in for him, as there just isn't much stability or loyalty in football these days. 

  8. I get that to an extent but I think they train at Strathclyde Park and only go to Dumfries for games. Still think it shows a lack of ambition unless he accepts his career isn't particularly going anywhere. 

    I can understand O'Dea more as he's prolonging a career before retirement.

    He would’ve been saying something a whole lot different if quoted earlier in the week...

     Are you suggesting we made Frear an offer and Robinson saying there's no chance of a return because he knocked us back?

    Got it one Greg.  Maybe an offer of £1.2m?  Perhaps Celtic are annoyed that they're the only club offering £3m.  I wouldn't put it past them. 

    I'd like to think we stick to our guns regarding the money we're looking for even if it means he stays with us until the next transfer window. I said it earlier in the thread, but I wouldn't be surprised if he does a Faddy and starts the season well and gets sold in August.
