The lads were dishing out abuse to every Alloa player that came within 20 yards of them, you've got to expect it back when they score. We will be fined for failing to control our crowd now due to things being thrown on the pitch. Be loud and supportive but you absolutely cannot be throwing things at players.

I have no idea why he was given 120 minutes today. Follows me on Twitter though, so he must be sound. Right cheers both of yous he and McLaughlin tore the unders bit disopnting to see a youth player not make it but a well maybe McLaughlin will be good 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, all I can do is offer our sincere apologies and we were poorly behaved today as in relation to the two goals, onwards to next season, hopefully the team can pull together and bring the sons back up to where they belong! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Regretful moment, got to admit the players did taught them by celebrating and roaring at the fans, thought they created a good atmosphere today and got the crowd going with their drum Sorry Robbie, but your mob embarassed themselves today and have potentially cost the club some dough. Unacceptable behaviour and the Alloa players were quite right to get right up you when they scored. If you want to behave like that f**k off to Parkhead or Ibrox and don't burdon us with that nonsense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FifeSons Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Next season will be very tough btw. Anyone who said League 1 would be nice because we'd get a few more wins and Montrose is a nice wee day out, might want to think again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cedrick1 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 (edited) Strange I’m not that gutted. It is what it is and we were a minute away from almost pulling it off. ive tried all season to avoid directing individual criticism but here goes. i understand that we area negative minded team all season so difficult to change that against Alloa who are clearly used to playing on front foot Smith awful at right back all day , not one submade our team better. Anyone who has posted about mark Stewart playing over past few weeks surely got there answer today stevie took our creative players Stirling and Walsh off and gambled on holding out. Burt lightweight and simply not good enough and one decision from him decided our fate. Someone made comment that we were lucky today at 80 mind cause Alloa were rubbish but if you allow so many balls into box one might come off. probsbly not too sad cause what would next year in 2nd tier had offered?? But what will next year in doc 1 offer. i Saidthis following the announcement but is the season ticket deal that attractive?? Not for me it ain’t Edited May 13, 2018 by cedrick1 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The behaviour that was unacceptable was launching shit onto the pitch. Whether that happened before or after the goal is irrelevant. If you want to dish it out you need to learn to take it back and if you can't then don't attend the fitba. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleslie99 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Missed the game due to babysitting issues. Watched on alba. Stevie at the end saying Hutton and Stirling were playing with injuries and were patched up before the game. He was very non-committal about his future but sounded to me like he was going to be off.If indeed Hutton and Stirling were injured why play them? Start Wilson or gallagher in the middle of the park in place of Hutton and Burt or Froxy for Stirling. That's not rocket science. We offered nothing going forward today which was exactly what we've offered for long periods this season. How we have missed big Nade. He would at least hold the ball up and allow us to get further up the park. Majority of those players need to go. Only ones id keep are Scott Gallagher (shakey start but has been decent lately). Hill, Barr, Dowie, Carswell and Stirling. Rest can go find other clubs as far as I'm concerned. We need a striker that will score in league 1 for a start. We are also now going to be competing with league 1 teams who can probably offer more money than us and now we don't have the selling point of championship football.As for the wee idiots thinking their hard. Don't tarnish our club with the reputation of others in the area, come and support and make some noise but start that nonsense and GTF. Wee guys acting hard at football is the cringiest thing ever, especially towards opposition players. These are probably the same wee idiots that came to the cup final with their union jacks and got very sheepish when turned on by our fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'Kelly Isley III Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 At least you'll get your "couple of seasons convalescence in League 1" now. [emoji6] I genuinely never wanted that but I can't complain on the evidence since New Year onwards, including all four play-off games. The club has massive challenges and to be honest convalescence isn't likely to enter into it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hospitality revenue?? Gone It's no wonder our new Chairman J Steele was out in front of us, on the gravel track, before extra time, gesturing us to get the noise going. Kudos to him as he seems very positive towards all things DFC, fans included, big job ahead for the guy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DumbartonTheSons Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Absolutely gutted. No getting away from it.We were so close to pulling it off but it wasn't to be.We'll need to regroup massively and a huge overhaul is required.Now on to the post-mortem as I see it...Aitken's tactics, lack of nous and uber-defensive approach have come back to bite us in the arse. Over the two legs, Alloa were there for the taking, an average side that we troubled little. And while I say that they're average, and I think that's perfectly fair, it says a whole lot more about us that we couldn't despatch them over two legs.I understand the replacement of Walsh, I don't think he looks fully fit (and hasn't since New Year imo) but to then hook Stirling, who causes problems and runs with the ball was a mistake.Not as big an error as bringing on Gallagher. I've nothing against him at all, but he's not good enough for this level and it left us as defensive as we could possibly be with no outlet or attacking threat. So Alloa then score, inevitably, but having made those substitutions, where do we go from there? And that's something that Aitken has to take responsibility for.That said, the players have to stand up and accept that they made errors that cost us. Manage the game in the last ten minutes. Take your time. Time waste. Take the ball to the corner. Everything Alloa did once they went in front. But we didn't when Burt was away, and we've paid a heavy, heavy price for it.It'll be a huge summer for the club on and more importantly off the field, and with budgets due to be slashed massively, it'll be a hugely testing time.And for all the chat of Aitken leaving etc, firstly he's under contract and secondly, why would he? We've come very close to achieving our goal and he'll cite the old 'part time team' nonsense for our failure in the end. He's not going to walk away from a contract, let's get real on that.And breathe... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
