Dumbarton’s white strip with the black and gold flash is the classiest kit anywhere.
Agreed, but you won't find it on show in this one. This season our home strip is yellow (yes, yellow) and black stripes, and our away one is plain white. Okay at home we look a bit like Borussia Dortmund - but that's the only resemblance.

Technically it's joint 18th
Annoyingly Berwick and Selkirk were the only two clubs to have their PPG be exact, no matter how many decimals you go down. So I just left it how the spreadsheet ordered itself.
Goal difference should put Berwick above Selkirk?

Second one is piss poor marking on our behalf and I,m sure the same player had a free header prior to that when he really should have scored so we were warned.
"On our behalf ." That means "for us." I think you meant "on our part" which is "by us."
sure the same player had a free header It was actually our other centre-half but it was still a warning to your defence. Unheeded.

Maybe it was the angle we had. All the Sons fans around me agreed Brennan had got a hand (or fingertips) to it.

Almost goal of the season for us to when it was 0-0. About 25 passes then a reverse chipped ball from a Hendry split the defence open and Dingwall lifted it first time over the goalie, only for it to hit the bar and bounce straight back into the goalie’s waiting arms.
Brennan got his fingers to it to tip it onto the bar.

PJ Crossan was absolutely hopeless today. I reckon I've witnessed him turn in 1 good performance so far and it's got to the point that I rate McCluskey as a better option than him.
McCluskey was surprisingly effective yesteday.

Not convinced by Shiels at LB but he didn’t miss a header today and was generally pretty solid.
He missed quite a few in the second half.

Old Boghead was great in the 60s but it had become totally decrepit by the time we moved. Gayfield always reminds me of it with its similar arrangement of terracing and stand (after the stand at Boghead opposite the 'Pavilion' was condemned.)
My favourite old ground, though, was Firs Park. That was so old school, up a claustrophobic lane of tenements to the turnstiles, covered terracing to one side, uncovered behind the goals, and even picturesque - till they built that huge concrete wall at one end. Ah the good old days!

Think Chizzy should have been in the vote for every position except GK.
The ultimate utility man.He was brilliant on the wing that day at Alloa.

Brechin fans will be checking the Highland League thread I would have thought.
Not worth checking regularly. There's typically not much activity on there.

I'd be delighted if it isn't a home win but statistics can't ensure that.

Airdrie have the worst current home form in League 1 (no wins in last four) with Sons away record being reasonable (undefeated in last four).
Doesn't this therefore point to a home win? Funny old game and all that.

Surprised there isn't a thread for this already.
A not terrible point for us last week could really do with being followed up with all three here.
I was beginning to wonder if we actually had a game this week ........

A bit harsh on Kenny Ashwood, although he did seem to lose something after the beard went! I would go for Brian Goodwin. Michael Wynne and Willie Cairns too.
He's the one for me.

WOW, just, WOW!!! Did he leave to manage Fort William....just...WOW!!
It was because of his time at the club we went without a win for more than a year - more than a year.

Wild that the linesman judged the Dunsmore one to be a dive. Absolutely wild.
I was a wee bit surprised at the East Fife complaints for our penalty at the time, and I stand by that now. It was as much of a stonewaller as you'll see.
From the part of the game video showing you the angle the lino had it looks to me as if Quitongo actually got the ball. Whether before or after he got the man I can't tell. It certainly looked a pen at the time from up in the away end but I'm not convinced now. Whatever, it wasn't a dive.
The other two that were given definitely were penalties.

We absolutely need another striker IMO. Tierney isn't up to much and Layne has just returned from a year long injury lay off. As well as Layne is doing just now his career has been littered with inconsistency so I'd like to see someone other than Tierney ready to step in if he's injured or out of form.
I agree he's not as much of a goal threat but I think he holds the ball up better than Layne. Potentially useful towards the end of a game if we need to hold out like we did on Saturday.

It's an interesting tactic you employ, in the absence of any response to a point you simply dismiss it as an irrelevance. Quite Trumpian that. And I really wouldn't know where to begin with the lazy logic of the passages I've highlighted. As a matter of interest, what was your personal involvement in th campaign to save Morton during the Scott period ?
Don't you realise that's an irrelevant, old man yelling at a cloud, straw man argument?

In the old days of 2-3-5, I think it was the left or right player in the 3.
Both of those were wing-halves, the right wing-half and the left wing-half.
God, I can remember watching such a line-up.

Yesterday was a very pleasant surprise and I actually thought the stand looked a wee bit busier.
Tumilty looked solid with an eagerness to push forward. Hutton had his best game in yonks. Scullion and Crossan put in a real shift. And big Isaac looks the sort of forward defenders dread. His work for the second goal can't be underestimated.
Can't be overestimated, surely?

Heres a link to the national broadcasters page for SPFL 2, its all right if you're a Cove Supporter I suppose. Nothing in the last three weeks apart from Barry Smiths sacking.
SPFL1 page isn't much better third most recent story is East Fife manager promising he isn't going to park the bus against Rangers.
But the results on a Saturday are on UK wide television. Every week during the season. The LL and HL don't have that.

No.
I spent the first 70 or so minutes of that game wondering why I'd travelled half the length of the country to watch us play like we'd never seen each other before. The two goals were magical but the overall performance was way short of inspiring. There was magic in the sheer scale of the turn around but it was, let's face it, totally undeserved on the balance of play.
The play-off final win on the other hand was a joy from start to finish. We were in total control. I wasn't at the 4-3 Falkirk game but that must have been brilliant. The 3-1 game there the next year was sublime. All our good results there have been. And what about the 2-2s at Easter Road and Tannadice? (I wasn't at the 1-0 at the latter.) And the 5-1 at Alloa which did Hartley in?
