albundy Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Hearing Andy Dowie has agreed a deal to stay with us next year regardless of whatever division we end up in. Is that dowser and Barr signed up then? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always the Sons Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 That's great news if true, both have been big players for us this season. Agree, if true. Well done Stevie and board for actioning early. Good statement of intent and now everyone really needs to fully get behind them all on Sunday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

microdave Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Just in case anyone is into watching Bookies' odds, Stevie has gone from 20/1 to 6/1 for the Morton job with McBookie. That puts him third favourite behind Hopkin (3/1) and McCoist (4/1). Obviously someone could just have put £50 on him to change the odds, but maybe there's more to it. That may have been down to me sticking a fiver on it. Regardless of what happens on Sunday, I actually think that a parting of the ways may suit both parties. In 2015 when Ian Murray left, the general view was that it was the right time. I think it had gone a wee bit stale during his final season with us but I think he had earned the right to a full time gig. His departure gave us a reboot and a different managerial outlook probably helped us retain our Championship status. There's no doubt that this has been one helluva season that will remain in our memories forever but I just feel that we need a different style of play next season otherwise we could be in the automatic relegation spot. I'm not saying that Stevie should be sacked(far from it) but his CV looks pretty good, in that he survived two(hopefully three) seasons with a pt team and got us to a first cup final in 121 years. I think he deserves a shot at a full time job and we can get someone else in with new ideas and maybe take some of the other teams we'll play next season by surprise (whichever division we're in.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some interesting points and it might be that suits both parties, I don't know.It would be seem strange though that we are tying up deals at the moment of that was in the pipeline. I just live in hope we aim for a Aitken side that mirrors the away performances of last season where we finished with most goals scored away from home and played without any fear at the likes of Dundee united. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbiem1872 Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Just wondering what you guys are thinking but, IMO with John Steele taking over as chairmen the club seems to be on an up with lower ticket prices and attracting more fans to come in especially the youth of the area and seems to be taking his job very serious which is good to see hopefully this can go to strength to strength 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club faces truly significant challenges in the short term though and how they are dealt with will define our future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 How has someone not lamped that screecher yet? It was doing my nut in in the last 3 games I've watched Dumbarton, I couldn't handle that every game! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallochSonsFan Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Could the wee neds pretending to be a European ultras group kindly f**k off? The minute you start throwing things onto the park and at opposition players you're potentially costing the club money in fines.Make all the noise you want but for f**k sake don't start throwing things at players. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumbo Muir Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Aitken, please leave and take your negative, tiresome tactics with you. That was shameful today. We weren't going into the game with a one nil lead against a Premier League outfit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
