squeezeboxson Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I literally checked last night if Sutton was a free agent yet because with think he would be the perfect kind of player for us. I think he was always a thorn in our side whenever we played Vs St Mirren over the last couple of years. He uses his experience well and if we got Stewart or any of the more mobile guys in some kind of form to run off him he would be a great asset. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've taken in 1 game this pre season, which I am more than glad I have chosen to do, so wouldn't know. In fact I couldn't even tell you which player "Boomer" is Moonster. At a guess the young LB we signed but I don't know which one he is by name. #parttimefan Edited August 3, 2017 by squeezeboxson 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only seen two games but he appeared to have a decent enough throw on him. Not that we'll ever do anything with it anyway. At least we know that Les Hope has a voice now. It's pretty much what you would expect from the chairman - "great to be here, look forward to making progress, thanks to the fans, you're all great, keep being great" but I can't understand why he didn't put that statement up when he first took over, instead I imagine it's taken a push from the Trust to get this statement out of him for Sons24. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't doubt for a second that it'll be the case but you'd have to think that if and when he goes, it means another forward is imminent. Indeed, some have taken news of Rocco Quinn's release as just that. Incidentally, Quinn would do a more than decent job for a few part time teams, including Dumbarton. He's definitely a very good player but he suffers from a chronic injury and his body simply can't hold up to the rigours of full time football. Shame really as he was a good fit for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half of our squad are injury prone, I'm not sure Quinn would be the wisest of moves, especially with us having quite a few in midfield already. We need a striker and I think that'll be us done until January. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Absolutely loved the 2 part interview with David Winnie on Sons24. For all the guy could never really get his tactics right, his eye for a player was pretty fucking good! Neill Collins, Neil Duffy, Emeka Obidele, Craig McEwan, Neil Scally and Iain Russell all brought to the club by him, gave Stevie Grindlay his debut and transformed John Dillon (who finished our top scorer that season). He also brought in Gary McCutcheon who scored the same number as Paddy that year. If he ever gets sick of being a lawyer we should be offering him scouting duties immediately! I thought Winnie was a lovely guy too, shame it never worked out. Look forward to reading the articles on his successor Brian Fairley. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Winnie was a lovely guy too, shame it never worked out. Look forward to reading the articles on his successor Brian Fairley. I had completely forgotten about Gary McCutcheon. The thing about Fairley was that he took the club to third place in what is now League 1. With the resources at his disposal, that was a fine achievement. He and McGonnigal were a good managerial team. It's a shame that they didn't have longer at DFC and that their efforts without each other didn't amount to much. Having a look here it would appear that Steve Aitken would qualify for a gold watch if he's still here at the end of the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 "My hair used to be ginger (in tribute to Stevie) but I dyed it back to pink because you released Garry Fleming!1!11" A sensible answer from Aitken was then followed by... "Will you consider signing Garry Fleming in January?" We're all entitled to our opinions, but f**k me that was hard to watch. Not hard sorry, painful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
