Alan and his father Jake McShannon from Campbeltown opened the 150th Exhibition at Dumbarton Library in very deserved recognition of their longstanding support, and indeed they were in attendance yesterday at both the game and the Awards Night.
As you say, Lionel Wickson is another who literally goes the extra miles (from Montrose). He has contributed hugely to the Hall of Fame and indeed is sponsoring the board which will be on permanent display at the club.
Remarkable Sons supporters, each of them.
Yeah, that was a lovely gesture Alan and Jake opening our Exhibition.

That's annoying. I have plans Tuesday and would like to watch it if its streamed. Guess only East Fife would show it, though.
Yeah, EastFifeTV, I think Annan only have clips of matches on Twitter now.

Are we not nailed on for Tuesday with only the opposition to be determined, or am I reading the fixtures wrong ?
Yes, Tues 9th May it is.

I'd like Brechin to make a return just to prove the naysayers wrong. It's frightening how many folk think relegation from the spfl is a one way street to oblivion. I'd like Albion Rovers to stay up so hopefully Brechin will be up against Elgin or Bonnyrigg should they get past Spartans.
I don't think Berwick, Cowden or East Stirling would agree tbh.

Well done Brechin
Hopefully see you back in League 2 next season

Well done lads, as our form dipped you got into top gear.
Good luck in League 1

I imagine he'll have a few clubs after him. But if we were to get money for Finlay then I would like to see us take a punt on Josh Fowler at Beith. He's got about 25 goals for them this season and scored a decent number last year too. He's only 21/22 I'm sure as well.
Assuming Carsy moves on, I think we could do a lot worse than raid Albion Rovers (again, sorry lads) for Ayrton Sonkur who Faz signed for Stranraer a few years back.
If we were to get a fee for Finlay would Farrell see a penny of it?

2 absolutely dreadful players, honestly.

We might not want to lose sight of the fact that this team has been fairly good this season. Aye we could rip it up completely and start from scratch. That could work. But, imo, we're not too far off where we need to be. As our league position shows.
A bit more firepower (or Declan Byrne with some new legs) coupled with basically the same defence, goalkeeper and central midfield wouldn't have us a million miles away from the title squad wise. Whether Faz is the man to put a title winning season together is up for debate, but I don't think retaining a good chunk of this squad is too bad an idea.
I was just taking a look at Stirling's summer business. Now they finished mid-table last year (albeit with Darren Young only appointed in the December) and their summer business was:
That's some shrewd additions in key areas, but nothing you'd look at and go 'wow, they will win the league at a canter'.
Cammy Clark addressed their left-back issue and has been an excellent signing. Ross Davidson is a player that Darren Young knows, rates and trusts. Robert Thomson is a player I'd have at us in a heartbeat, but came off an injury hit and underwhelming year at Stenny. Cooper and Denholm are solid L2 squad players.
Fotheringham was obviously a gem of an addition on loan. And played a big part early in the season. But they haven't lost a game since he left.
The spine of their team isn't all that different to last season; Currie, McGeachie, McLean (who missed most of last year injured tbf), Leitch, Carrick. They just shipped out some deadwood (Dylan Mackin, Ray Grant, Akeel Francis) and replaced them with upgrades.
Yeah, agree, the 1st half of the season we were playing decent attacking football, on the deck.
When injuries/suspension hit & form dipped Farrell resorted to hoofball like last season.

Every possibility

Expecting a tough game, with Forfar just behind you in the race for the play-offs, your team will be fired up.

Dumbarton 8 (eight) East Fife 0

It’s a fine day in Boomtown. Looking for another clean sheet today and score a goal to get 3pts for the Rose and move further away from the relegation zone.
C’mon The Rose

Anyway, the contract extension, anyone got any thoughts ?
Well...the club probably can't afford to look for anyone else now & pay him off, the current manager is a "better the devil you know", status quo pish, easy option, from our board that we have now come to expect.

Just finished watching the latest episode of the rock and goal podcast on YouTube. Excellent as ever. In amongst Jim Chapman's constant self promotion, it was bittersweet to remember how advanced the club infrastructure was 13 or so years ago.
Yeah but we have fans who detested Alan Jardine & Gilbert Lawrie (r.i.p) who took us to our highest League placing in decades.
We even have fans who were fed up finishing 7th or 8th in The Championship & the Club earning £120,000 for that finishing place.
Instead some of our fans thought it would be great to drop down & we would win more games

I had to block that 'Gio Marron' chump a few weeks back when I realised his posts were actually having an impact on my mental health. I was being wound up thinking about them before going on to see them.
This is the weirdest season I can ever remember. If you'd offered me second place at the start of the season then I absolutely would've bitten your hands off. Even if you told me that we'd be 25 points behind the winners. But after the start we had it feels like we're stumbling our way blindly to the finishing line.
I said on the podcast back in January that I felt whoever out of us and Stirling finished second wouldn't win the playoffs, because not winning the league would feel like such a failure. Whilst the likes of Annan and Forfar will be on a high at making the playoffs. And I think we're about to see that come to fruition.
I feel for Faz. We've lost Carsy, Div Wilson, Joe McKee, Declan Byrne and Kalvin Orsi all at exactly the same time. And at a vital point in the season where we had a host of really big home matches.
Have we been poor for most of 2023? Aye we have. But losing players as vital as they are has meant we haven't even managed to scrape together a few wins and draws when we might've done otherwise.
For what it's worth, I don't think we're ready to go back up and I think we'd have likely gone straight back down without some major investment (lolz). But putting another divisions between us and the trapdoor would've been a big weight off my mind. As Silverton says, one bad season is all it takes. As Albion Rovers or Elgin City could be about to find out.
Totally agree.
People need to realise how close we are to the precipice, with very, very little money & shite owners.
The Cognitive Capital shysters will be rubbing their hands tonight

Farrell has his faults, several, but he can’t be blamed for McLean appearing uninterested as you say, or, for the state of our pitch. The latter being a major player in our recent slump if you ask me.
Farrell signed McLean, as for the state of our pitch, other teams seem able to cope with it & beat us.

As long as it’s not the Lowland League, I’d be tempted to take it.

Genuine fear that we will be in this League for some time to come.
Very worrying

Gio Moron started having a go a poor wee old guy, who made a completely reasonable reply to him. Think optimistic might have deleted the original post, cause it’s gone now.

Peter Grant, Wylde, Lynas all honking tonight.
We'll be stinking this League out for a while now I fear, Farrell hasn't a fucking tactical clue.
