Northern Son

Thin Lizzy - The Boys Are Back In Town

Kenny - The Bump

They will just have to accept that it is one of those things that come with being such a massive team...

A couple of fixture changes for the telly. Home games against Falkirk (12th March) and Raith (16th April) both now 17:15 kick offs as games are live on BBC Alba.

Sad, sad news.

Have seen a few mentions of trying to get Shankland on loan from Aberdeen this season. Having seen him in the flesh a couple of times now I am not convinced he is what we need. Obviously his goals for the Dons U20's last season show he has talent but... In the Aberdeen v St Johnstone game at the tail end of last season he looked laboured, his touch was poor, and he consistently made the wrong decisions. In comparison Chris Kane came on as a sub and after 30 seconds, and two touches, had the ball in the back of the net. Today in a friendly at Peterhead Shankland didn't look any better and I can't recall him having a single effort on goal. Perhaps he is just trying too hard, but I have to say his body language doesn't look positive either. An enigma. In other news Andy Rodgers is still shite...

Looks like a great appointment and I like what I read in the interview.

Lovely young lady on Pointless just now. Category famous historical people who have been assassinated. Q: Shot by Lee Harvey Oswald in Dallas? A: J.R. Never mind Pointless, that is priceless!

Poor post directed at a fellow Sons fan. I haven't been able to make a home game in years given that I live North of Aberdeen and my son plays football on a Saturday. Doesn't stop me being a diehard Dumbarton fan. Sons have been my team for over 40 years and always will be. I have been to the odd Aberdeen or Peterhead game but neither team holds a place in my heart. Please don't flippantly suggest that someone change their allegiance just because they now live away from the area. Supporting the Sons is more than that. Rant over. Let's have a real go at this mob today!
