Sweet Pete

I definitely did the stupidity highlights post too early in the day. Redundant within ten minutes. Keep plumbing those depths, lads.

What we're witnessing here is called cannabis psychosis

So, just to summarise the last few pages: there's such things as 'low radiation' nuclear weapons; Britain overthrew the legitimate Ukrainian government and installed Zelensky; Britain (or 'the West') have been arming Ukraine in a proxy war for years and are placing nukes inside Ukraine to threaten Russia, leaving Putin no choice but to invade Ukraine (are these nukes the 'low radiation' variety...?); Russia's new 300,000 recruits will definitely be better trained and equipped than the entire army they've burned through since February, because they are definitely going to overhaul their entire culture militarily between now and the deployment of the new forced troops. Wow.

The boy looks unlucky to have been sent off with both bookings, again given the benefit of repeated viewings. Good highlights package by Stranraer.

Pressure's off now the run is over. They've a good long rest before the next game now. Onwards and upwards.

Absolutely mental ten minutes or so. What is happening down there?!

The comeback is on. Bursting coupons all over the world.

Seem like absolute degenerates

Blimey. Really hope McGeever has more sharpness than during the rangers game (RIP Alex Lowry, forgotten but not gone). Problem is, you can't get match sharpness from training... f**k it, 'mon the Sons!

They're a junior team. Remember junior team fans are always weird. Inbred oddballs.

Daily life and the burden of existence

Let's adjust ourselves right now to the fact that we're not the 08/09 free scoring title winning Dumbarton. And let's remember while we're at it, that the free scoring 08/09 division 3 champions Dumbarton never established a runaway lead in the league, never went 10 points clear at the top and although they had plenty high scoring games, defensively and consistency wise we were suspect that season, and left it to the last two games to wrap it up, playing chase for large parts of the season. Maybe, being ugly and efficient and effective and consistent isn't such a bad thing?

I agree with that. We are playing in a league of lesser quality than last season and were we to be so workmanlike in L1 we'd concede more goals and wouldn't be on this run. But we aren't in league one, we're in league two and the standard here is such that we're the best team in the league. As the standard here is lower, we should manage expectations about the quality of football fayre on offer and enjoy being the big boy on the block.

Wasn't there today, but that describes most of our 7 league games so far, all of which were wins. Clearly, we're a bit of a one trick pony, but it's a good trick and we play at a low enough level that that trick is the difference. A worse team would be grinding out 0-0 draws based on our stubborn defence and workmanlike performances, but we're scoring winning goals and keeping more out. That's champions form. Thus far. After 7 wins from 7 matches, 21 points and a 100% record, we should be celebrating. It won't last. It can't. But we have the foundations there of a promotion team. If the wheels come off in the winter then so be it, but all successful teams know how to win ugly.

After sitting deep for 7 and winning 7, are we sitting too deep, or are we good at soaking up pressure and taking chances when they come? Evidence would suggest the latter.

Don't laugh at the wee clubs, it's undignified.

Let's get silly

Hello down there

Hi, did you know that Emile Heskey's middle name is Ivanhoe? Did you also know that Dumbarton beat Bonnyrig Rose today?

Thank you, Sons.

Do you know what Stuart Carswell does? Scores penalties.

Hello Phil. I see you're still doing the pidgin English thing. Is that because it's hard to switch between one language and the other? Or that your predictive keyboard is likewise assuming one language and struggling to jump between the two? I'm currently learning German and finding that it's sehr schwierig to switch back and forth, as is my phone predictive text.

He's obviously doing the 'stick with the winning side' bit, which has worked for us thus far. It is great to see a strong bench though, we've been starved of that so far this season.

I don't think BBPF was ever suggesting cashless was the way to go. And he's right, remembering to pick up cash specifically for the turnstile when there's only 1 ATM even vaguely nearby is inconvenient. Being able to donate a ticket online, buy a ticket before time online, pay digitally at the gate or pay cash is the four options we should have and it's great we now do. Anyone moaning about it that I've seen have consistently been fuds, needlessly moaning about progress.
