as it stands we are still in prime spot for play offs and six points clear of rivals. the manager and players are up for the fight shame the so called fans on here arent. the destructive negativity doesnt help anybody!! stick to supporting the team instead of your worthless criticism and thinking you know best. if u call yourself a true sons fan then put your money where your mouth is.
Four semi-literate posts in almost ten years on this site tells us just how committed you are to DFC. And where loyalty is concerned, it's absolutely fine except when it becomes blind loyalty - that's dangerous. Face facts pal.

I put a report in as soon as it was posted but no action has been taken yet.
Looks like it's now been binned.

Not just a fan, a club employee.
Thanks, but this sounds grim.

This alleged incident involves a Dumbarton fan ? Not good.

Very informative newsletter.
The Function Hire advert got me thinking that maybe we could host next year's Willie Wonka Experience.

Whilst all five goals were defensively poor, that winning goal is horrendous from our point of view.

We must be almost 2 years to the day since the 2-0 defeat to bottom of the league East Fife when Faz looked a broken man in his post-match and admitted he didn't know how to fix it. How is he still here
My take is that the board is petrified of having to replace him, and they are hoping that somehow it all comes right. I've been told that the team's target is a top four finish, and even if we bomb again in the playoffs they'll use that as a justification for keeping him. If we fail to make the top four it could get uncomfortable.

Well, that could turn out to be quite a significant goal. And whilst an injury-time defeat is never welcome this one doesn't bother me quite as much as it normally would.

What’s this fucking hillbilly clown on about “I’ve read a lot of Dumbarton fans on pie and bovril giving Michael Ruth a hard time”
there was literally chat about him moving full time the other day.
Utter nonsense.

I’d rather watch Stevie Farrell‘s Dumbarton for the rest of my life than that rugby muck.
Nice spot there.

George Horne just scored a Try but it's gone to VAR
Try cancelled and the Italians ran up the park and scored a try - penalty to take the lead.

Blair Malcolm starting at LB will at least keep Jan happy.
That CB pairing will be as slow as treacle. Durnan will be blowing out his hole after an hour after so long out.
You wonder why Durnan wan't given minutes on grass parks in the last two games, and today he's back in today on astro

Les Hope approved a loan from himself to the club when he was chairman. Nothing to do with him investing anything for his seat on the board.
Cheers, that's a different ballgame then.

He certainly threatened the club with court action in order to kill us if he didn't get a director loan repaid to him when he left our board.
I never knew the guy but wasn't it the case under DFC rules that people joining the Board had/have to input a five figure 'loan' to the club ?
If so, and if you impose such conditions, isn't it pretty obvious that anyone departing is going to call time on that 'loan' ? I'm sure I would.
As for court action to 'kill us', that suggests more about the club's finances and their inability or reluctance to return Les Hope's money than him wanting it refunded.

What’s this all about?
Two club ambassadors had their positions withdrawn after they entered the hospitality area after the Rangers Cup-tie.

And not the only one under Faz’s reign. Off the top of my head we’ve lost 6 at Stirling, 6 at Annan, 5 tonight at a relegation threatened Stranraer and there was the 5-1 home defeat to an Albion Rovers team who did go on and get relegated.
I don’t think I can recall another Dumbarton manager suffering so many heavy defeats. If there is you’re probably going back to the Jim Fallon era but then the board at least had the balls to pull the trigger when required.
The direction of travel is absolutely down and we don’t have a board able or willing to act. The club from top to bottom is an absolute shambles; ownership, management, players who fold in many of not most ‘big games’, right down to smaller but significant aspects like the ongoing pitch condition and the embarrassment of a club website. Zero leadership and zero accountability top to bottom.
You forgot about the emptying of volunteers who have supported the club for decades on the say-so of one individual. No wonder the rest of Scottish football is regarding us as a basket case of a club.

I'd have hooked Ruth and Newbury at half time to protect them for Saturday tbh. I've got serious fear about Ruth getting injured.
Come back in August 2025 at the earliest Jan.

In case any Bully Wee fans have nothing to do on Tuesday evening you can watch the Stranraer v Dumbarton match on a live stream via the Stranraer website on match day.
SpoilerIt will not be for the purist.

I suppose you could argue it was, but was it a big game for Peterhead? Not really. I wouldn’t say there was huge pressure to deliver a win yesterday, either. Arguably Stranraer last week was a bigger pressure game, after the run we’d been on, but I wouldn’t saying winning either of these has changed my opinion on the manager. When it’s a potential title decider or playoff game (i.e. most significantly, a direct rival is also desperate for a win) he’s never delivered.
Supporters opinions on the manager will have no bearing on anything as he'll be here next season and possibly beyond come what may. So there are absolutely no pressure games. It's a unique situation and he's a very fortunate manager.

I know @EdinburghBlue has already had a poke around, but if anyone is doing a Masters in Forensic Accountancy they could do worse than try to unravel Dumbarton's financial situation.

Perhaps if we got a shirt sponsor who done the seemingly trivial thing of actually paying for the shirt sponsorship we wouldn't need to rent our ground out to a B team loving non-entity of a football club.
That's a good point, and we don't actually know if Broomhill are paying anything either LOL !

Be very careful there. Are you certain the comment was shouted or was it a comment made to people in the immediate company which was picked up by someone within earshot ? I wasn't there and I'm no lawyer but that may be something the police will consider.
