Not sure I've seen a single person on here say they're actually going. Better get my Palestine flag dry-cleaned.
Me. And Clarko. And our mates.

If that is true, Faz is doing himself absolutely no favours. It's almost like he wants to be up against it, so he has excuses if he fails to achieve objectives and targets.
Let's not start a baseless conspiracy theory.

Am I right in thinking the bar takes card?
It does. Though they only have one terminal for the whole place and shite WiFi.

Much less confident of a win in this weather.
If it goes ahead the weather will be a great leveller. It'll be a slobberknocker.

It's absolutely chucking it down in lush and leafy G83 about 5 miles from Alcatraz.

I've associated myself with the club for my whole life. Why would I stop now just because I don't like the decisions the people at the club are making? And again, stop exaggerating everything, a post on here doesn't mean I'm kicking f**k out the cat at home raging that their charging a tenner for parking.
Football is a hobby to you mate, that's cool. Dumbarton FC has been huge part of my life, I've made friends following the club (yourself included) and had some of the best days of my life. It matters to me, I want them to be doing the best they can and when I see things I don't agree with I'm going to say.
The club can do right, I've helped them out in the past when I felt there was a genuine effort from those in charge to engage and grow the club. There's f**k all of that now.
Two can play at exaggeration. You say there's no engagement with fans anymore. I've done a lot of work for the club and seen the effort that a handful of people put in to keeping the lights on each day. And the club routinely contact fans with new products, schemes, ideas etc. The club is completely approachable. I, too, feel pissed off by the property speculators and ghosts at ownership/shareholder/boardroom level, but that doesn't mean that every time someone gets a burnt pie it's a symptom of the club being rotten to the core. I challenge you to wander down to the Rock and offer to clean seats, mop changing rooms, paint walls, empty bins etc. you'll find friendly people who are delighted to have someone pitch in and help them with the almost herculean task of running the place. Try and remember that Hosie/Henning/Alan Martin/Whoever are not DFC. They're just suited wankers, they're not the club. Pick the right target.

Oh come on, your "we could win 4-0 every week" pish is something Aitkens Army hit out with at the slightest criticism. Just because folk are moaning on here doesn't mean anyone is outraged, it's simply an opinion that the club are calling this wrong. You don't care, that's all good and I hope you enjoy the day. I hope the club reinvest these incomings and we get out of this league this year because I really don't fancy it next year.
The same folk are ALWAYS moaning on here. It's tiresome. Take a look through my posting history and you'll see many posts criticizing the club in various ways, but only when I feel it's merited, not just whenever.
Perfect example, I posted on here some time ago (last season I think) that one of the players had called me on my mobile and tried to sell me corporate sponsorship as I'm a local small business owner. I thought that was cool and bought an advertising board for my business.
Someone whose name i forget but which rhymes with 'spoonster' then immediately replied "well that's an indication that the club isn't doing well and should have people for that and the players shouldn't be doing that".
The club really can do no right in some eyes.
I'd put it to you, why do you bother associating yourself with Dumbarton FC if they make you so unhappy? Even when they get things right.
It's bizarre.
Personally, I have real problems in my life and I reserve my whining for them. Football is a hobby, a leisure pursuit.

@Sweet Pete will be down the front row at the Rangers game waving at the players with his pink thong, wig and karaoke machine.
That's right, aye. That'll be me.

I've got no problem at all with the pricing of tickets, hospitality, parking et al. Milk the tie for all we can. There's a very small pool of Dumbarton fans to sell things to, so take advantage of the ****. And as for a "happy clap routine", maybe I'm just not a miserable c**t.

Bloody hell, Sons fans love a moan.
"I'm not going, but the parking prices are a disgrace!"
Damned if they do, damned if they don't. We could win every game 4 nil and there'd still be folk whining.

Yeah there are a lot of factors at play generally'. I'd imagine that a broken ankle will leave Brett looking at four months or so out (depending on the severity, that's how long my brother was out for when he did his) so it's quite hard to see him playing again this season for us given he'll need to return to training, get fit and sharp after his recovery. Which might make a loan move for someone keen to play appealing given there's half a season to go.
Personally, I'd be giving Harry a run until January. He deserves the opportunity. If he's looking comfortable between now and then (with some regen emergency loanee on the bench) then we can keep running like that. If he's struggling then a move in January for someone with No.1 credentials would make sense.
I had a wee look back across Harry's 10 competitive games for us. He's kept four clean sheets (Peterhead, Raith, Annan when he replaced Brett in the first-half and Bonnyrigg) and conceded 14. Albeit seven of those came in one game.
Granted I wasn't at the Rangers B or Kilmarnock B matches for obvious reasons; but I'd say those stats should be quite reassuring. Especially given he was only 18 I think when he made his debut. And given that four of the games (Peterhead, Raith, ICT and Kelty) were against teams in the league above. I thought he was absolutely outstanding against ICT in the cup victory in July as well.
He was excellent against Inverness and woeful against Rangers B. Responsible for 3 or 4 of the goals. He's young and has potential, but will blow hot and cold as all young players do. But due to his position his cold performances will stand out more. He'll definitely get some experience in the immediate term as he'll be thrown in while other options are explored. What's big fat Jamie Barclay up to these days?

I thought Ramsbottom was still kicking about at Edinburgh but not playing. Didn't realise he's playing for Cape Town Spurs in the South African top flight, albeit unsuccessfully by what I can see on Twitter
At least he's no longer trying to pump my wife.

Sons' sorrow

Kilmarnock's relegation season is a great, painful and recent advert for what happens to a team who run with a goalkeeper who's not good enough.
