son of a bankie

I have a poor attendance record this year for various reasons. Saturday night on the telly when feeling poorly was my latest reason. I have paid for my season ticket therefore club still have my cash. Champions league nights are going to affect every team. I did attend and have still to see a hat trick before third rock laughs his comment on me saying after Nade's second that I have never seen a hat trick at a Dumbarton game. I was paying for my pie when he scored the third.

I sat next to a son of William a few years ago and perhaps I was lucky not to be flung out. Mainly due to my response to his actions. I didn't respond to a sheriff but barred myself from games when I would face the same bile. I do think our board have done an excellent job at trying not to let away support in our end.

Getting closer doing his rehab at Murray Park. Nice guy wish we could have signed him.

A gentleman always R.I.P.

Game postponed

I hope we get Celtic at home and then hearts at home in the next round.

Grown men going Booooooooo is fucking hilarious and totally demoralising for our team. Honestly wish the Booers could see themselves. The have a shit day at work and as they leave the bosses gather at the gate and Boo them on the way home. Get behind the team no matter how pish we are playing. We are supporting the team. I know I am new to Dumbarton F C but just they need our motivation. So come on the Sons.

Simply sick as a parrot after last night. Never played to our potential and that is so gutting.

I had the 1872 with badge on but they washed out. Even 3rd Rock couldn't fit in them.

Don't need a pipe or slippers yet. Just would like to wear a flipping polo shirt not a football top. So stop picking on me cause am fae Clydebank.

Howling I am not complaining about price. I would not buy a top as I am to old. I would buy a polo shirt or jacket.

I agree that the limited stock for Dumbarton is disappointing. Having reached a certain age when wearing a football top looks ridiculous, a decent t shirt or polo shirt would be a nice choice. Bought a pennant for car on Wednesday.

Frank Close and Pat Cairney were absolute bomb-scares of centre-halves in the 1980's who both relished a tackle as well as an OG or two. Pat was a worker with Tennents Brewery and a former team-mate told me that he once crashed at his place after a Saturday night out in Glasgow, and on opening the fridge hungover in the morning he was astonished to see it bulging with lager cans. I have known Pat Cairney for years. He went to school with my brother. He is a gentleman and junior football was his appropriate level. Told me many tales of woe. A striker at Kilbirnie told him he was going to a wedding reception so could he leave him alone during the game. Agreement was made if the boy scored he was getting blootered. The striker ended up with a broken nose and swollen eyes after one of his own players headered him on the beak. Pat could nae move for laughing as the boy was taken off the park.

Jamie Lindsay is fantastic.

That's what I feel Gary Fleming needs to learn. When my son was younger it was a fine for dissent even at training.

Though young Josh played very well when he came on. First half we played decent football and had so many chances but didn't have the bounce of the ball. Like the fact that we have scored from set pieces again.

5 and 3 for the bankies game.

Paddy you tease.

The ground name bringing in extra cash is a no brainer. The fact that it is a local business owned by a Dumbarton fan makes it even better. Happy to call it the CID stadium, money in the bank.

Good workout for the team. Looking organised and see lots of positives for season ahead. Many good performances, Willie Gibson will be a major player for us and Mark Brown was terrific.

So again folks are we playing Stranraer on Tuesday at the benburb ground?

A price deal for season ticket holders at friendly games is the norm but not at Dumbarton.

We're all going to hampden la la la la!!!!

One of my school pals still tells everyone that Danny McGrain ran up to him at Kilbowie and spoke with him. The truth behind the story is that at full time the kids used to run on the pitch. My pal ran on the pitch thinking it was full time but sadly the game had not finished and Danny ran up to him and told him "away aff ya wee p***k"

Good news about toilets at Mortons ground. I have only supported Dumbarton for a few years so cannot comment on Boghead.
