The slight worry for me is that we only have 1 loan remaining (I think). Where I think we should be looking to bring in 2 or 3 players. We won't find many free agents who are going to make a massive difference to our first team so may find ourselves short for the remainder of the season. I hope I'm wrong, as I say it isn't a huge concern... yet.
ETA - basically the same as Moonster says above. He just beat me to it!

Maybe mark kerr a replacement for shug?
Would be great but I reckon he will be able to find full time football somewhere.

To be honest he's probably on a decent wage (don't see him being on less now than he was when he first signed) and looks mostly uninterested. I'd rather have a young guy on loan than someone like Shagger who doesn't contribute much other than 1 goal and 1 assist per season.
I don't disagree with that completely to be honest. I was very shocked that we re-signed him after last season. I'd also say, he contributed more this season than he did the whole of last season. So I'm not sad to see him leave, wish him all the best and hope we bring in a decent player or 2 to replace him.

Interesting we are letting Shagger go considering our lack of wide options. I still think he had something to offer and find it a little bit surprising. I really hope we have something else lined up then!!

I remember when they first got Pellie along as a mascot. My Grandpa used to take us to the game and when he went home to tell my gran that Dumbarton had an elephant mascot she was amazed at how they got away with having a real elephant in the stadium and on the pitch! Haha.
Aye, he got sent off in a match vs Morton I'm sure!

Player of the Month vote online: http://www.dumbartonfootballclub.com/news/?mode=view&id=1609
Garry Fleming for me
Have to agree. Absolute no brainer for me. I know Andy Graham will get a lot of plaudits and will get votes for his commitment, but I don't think he has been as consistently good this month as previously. I would also have had Gilhaney in that vote miles ahead of Andy and Mitch. This month he has been in his best and most consistent form for a long time!

FWIW, I don't reckon 52 weddings a year is that ambitious. There is probably scope for having over 100 functions a year if your add in the young farmers - who book the function suite on numerous occasions throughout the year - and any other functions (birthdays etc). A lot of people are also getting married on days other than Saturdays. It would all probably depend on the suitability of the hall(s) and the prices. It is definitely a realistic target though.

Sold them to a Rangers fan.
As long as he made a significant profit...

The only positive if Nish goes is that we have his wage to spend. There are many negatives though. I think he was an important player for us - regardless of all the stick he got. He gave us a completely different option. We need to replace his 2 roles in a week. We have used all our loans and it is halfway through the season, so not many free agents who will do a good job at this level. Anyone worth signing won't be a free agent in January. Tough times!
ETA: We may be looking for another Shug Murray kinda deal. Where we find a players later on in his career who isn't getting games in and is happy to take a step back to part time etc. Peter Macdonald would have been a great shout from Dundee but sadly he and Morton have built up such a bond he went straight back there.
