  1. It works out at £35 a ticket for those gigs. Does it include a time machine too?
  2. Glorified friendly on Sunday and nothing more. I can understand people going if they've booked it, but the reaction wasn't what I would've expected. I don't even blame the players as they're probably the best we have and the management only have those players at their disposal. The answer lies in the way players are developed at a young age really. Anyway, no more international breaks this season and a Sons' game every week from now until April. Weather and cup excepted!
  3. I was at last night's game and I feel absolutely gutted by what happened in the final ten minutes both at Hampden and in Dublin. I do agree with the travel to and from Hampden being a nightmare and I probably put up with it since it's only about four times a year. If that was every second week, I'd have chucked a few years ago. Getting to and from the rock is an absolute breeze in comparison. As for the club v country argument, it's only ever happened once that I remember that the two were playing on the same day ( Hibs/Georgia last year) and due to family stuff the decision was out of my hands. I think I would favour club over country but only by a small margin due to the fact that the Sons play more often. And my appetite for international fitba may be waning due to this week of football pish. I used to be a fan of all club football stopping for the internationals but now I get pissed off having a game on Thursday/Sunday and no Dumbarton game on Saturday like this weekend. If Scotland play on a Saturday, I have no objection to no Dumbarton game scheduled that day!
  4. Arthur McGinn Meechan Martin Fabiani Moore Agnew T. Coyle Ward Prunty C. Gibson. Mostly favourite players than a best ever XI.
  5. That was also the last time three victories were recorded.
  6. We played Falkirk the weekend before Christmas last year, which was also on Alba!
  7. If it's being criticised, then it's being noticed. A bit like the Thistle mascot although I can't remember its name. Any publicity is good for the club!
  8. I liked that you could queue for a pie and still watch the game at Boghead. Possibly the only thing I would change at DFS. Whenever I get nostalgic about the old place, I watch a Shot at Glory!
  9. Only three of the teams in the championship have the same manager as they had at the start of 2014/15, so a lot of teams are being built from a new manager perspective.
  10. As good as Danny is, we still lost a shitload of goals this season. I also think we had good defenders but it was down to lapses in concentration and strikers that could take advantage of them. Without digging into previous posts, I'm sure people were happy when the likes of Graham, Linton, McLaughlin etc signed new deals last year despite us losing one goal fewer than we scored in 2013/14. We are in need of a new defence if we are to improve on the last few years goals against column. Thankfully Stevie Aitken seems to be doing something about this!
  11. Ewings has had a few howlers but he can be a good shot stopper too. Ultimately a keeper is only as good as his defence!
  12. Don't get carried away! We looked certain to finish bottom when Murrinho took over. Amazing achievement to confirm a 4th (fourth) season in a predominantly full time division!
  13. Ex Dundee Utd full back Mark Wilson has signed until the end of the season!
  14. I remember having a drink with Alex in the Horseshoe the night before we played a cup tie at Ibrox in the nineties. His enthusiasm had me utterly convinced we were going to win! And the fact that he could reel off the team that won the Festival of Britain quaich appealed to the anorak in me! Rest in peace big yin!
  15. I came to hate them while delivering leaflets during the referendum campaign!
  16. This evening when the bus doors opened, I waited for the people standing at the door to get off before I got on. But when they didn't move, I started to move just as the driver thought I wasn't getting on and he closed the doors. A few folk got a good laugh as I had my right arm inside the bus showing my pass and the rest of me outside waiting to get dragged along the road!
  17. There's always a chance that the Master/Mistress escaped from Gallifrey through one of the paintings in Day of the Doctor. Prisoner zero is my favourite theory.
  18. Lots of planets have a West Country!
  19. Fair point. I'm maybe not out of the Saturday/Tuesday schedule mindset of international games yet.
  20. To save people who want to go to both having to choose between club and country. The Spfl decision to have a match on the same day as Scotland v Georgia is an absolute disgrace!
  21. It wasn't an off the shelf kit, so maybe we'll only wear it when we have too. Time will tell.
