    My hot take for tonight is one that, imo, shouldn't be considered all that hot. If Mark Durnan had played every game for us this season then we wouldn't be anywhere near as far adrift of Stenny as we are. They'd still be Champions, and deservedly so, but it would've been a real title race.

    I reckon it would be fascinating to see where we would be had Durnan, Long, and Young been available all season. I think we would have at least kept Stenny honest.

    Dundee game cancelled, referee said too wet and way too much sand. Why is our groundsman allowed to moonlight?

    From the pictures I saw that ref would have postponed any number of our home games this season.

    Boo-urns.

    Farrell can clearly convince players to join us. The question has to be asked, what on earth does he do after which makes their performances fall off a cliff. Three seasons in a row we’ve come out of the traps well, only to stumble and fall around the end of the calendar year and not recover.

  4. I know the talk of a title challenge is a joke, but even if we win our two games in hand we’d be twelve points behind a team that has dropped 14 all season.

    Unless the Stenhousemuir players have done a Morton and *allegedly* flung a bunch of money on them not winning the league, it isn’t happening.

    I think it’s a safe assumption that Farrell will never be sacked. The best case is his contract just runs out, but I’m now seriously worrying he’ll be next for an extension.

    The year is 2054. Stevie Farrell's Dumbarton team start the season with genuine ambitions of winning promotion from the West of Scotland League.

    He’s a one year deal with a one year option I think.

    Our shirt sponsor this afternoon I note is one of Paul McPherson’s companies. Hope this isn’t another Moreroom situation and we’ve actually earned something from it this time. Ruins the kit, but I’m fine with it if they are paying.

    Interestingly Viaplay had the stadium as the moreroom.com stadium in their coverage. Who knows if that’s an honest mistake or not?

    So, basically, it'll be about 300 (max) Sons fans and 700 Hons in the home end. I can hardly wait.

    I'm going to recreate this experience by popping along to my local (east coast) pub so that I can take pelters from such esteemed local characters as "Rangers Ally", who yes does frequent the Mason's across the road.

    I'm not sure we should be worrying ourselves too much to define what a "proper" Dumbarton fan is and what might excite them. Pay money, support the team, will do for me. As it happens there will likely be many Dumbarton supporters specifically interested in the cup match as it offers a chance (however small) to witness what would be a once in a generation victory.

     

    Not to mention it might just happen to fall on a weekend where you can afford and justify a huge round trip because you have money available and nothing else in the calendar preventing you from spending your entire Saturday away from home.

    But as @George Parr above says we're straying into dangerous territory, which was my point.
