The Moonster Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 He's posting quite a few pictures of him from his time at Dumbarton with some fairly cryptic messages that suggest he's about to get back playing somewhere. If he's in Cyprus then more than likely with some mob over there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 In other news, the young teams current patter on the Facebook group is chronic. Kinda trying to take the piss out of the regular posters on there by using OTT Dumbarton chat without being remotely funny. Ban them optimistic. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just had a look and couldn't see anything - I didn't look that closely. I saw a post from Paddy Flannery trying to rubbish Jim Duffy. "Any manager worth his salt can get an extra 30% out of the players he inherits" I replied thus: Aitken gained 8 points from a possible 30 which is a points score of 26.66% of the maximum. Duffy has taken 6 points from a possible 12, this is a points score of 50% of the maximum. The improvement under Duffy in terms of points gained is 87.71%, nearly double Aitken's rate. Just saying. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boghead ranter Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 The weans will get bored soon, and disappear as quickly as they arrived. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleslie99 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 This the same weans that tried to start an ultras group? Cut about with union jacks? Threw a drumstick at Andy Graham in the play off final? Tried to round up fellow sons fans to go fight away fans? Set off flares at the cup final? Oh and look about 12? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Vojáček Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Former Morton left-back Mark Russell is out of contract with Falkirk in January, and apparently hasn't played a minute for the Bairns since Ray McKinnon came in. He's a player that Duffy will know very, very well and, given we're crying out for left-sided defenders I'd like to think that Jim is currently trying to sweet-talk him into a move to the Rock. David Ferguson (not that one) who we had on trial in the summer is also out of contract at Ayr United, and barely getting a look in. He's another guy who'd be a good addition. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Duffy can wheeler dealer his way out the mess he's been handed, because if we have to spend the rest of the season with this squad then we won't be finishing any higher than about 8th. Something that would be absolutely disastrous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boghead ranter Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Surely Andy Little's internationalist-level wages will cover a few new players? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something that would be absolutely disastrous. Challenge is an understatement!Did we not sign Thomas and Spencer following investment from elsewhere?We absolutely need to bring in some fresh faces, but if it's a case of getting some out before bringing some in then I'd be concerned. Who are going to take the ones who are surplus with us? They'll hardly be leaving with glittering recent form. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DumbartonTheSons Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 So we've been hounded out of the cup by a side in the same division, we're fielding a walking wounded every week and there doesn't seem to be a forthcoming let up over the injuries we currently have.Add to that even with the walking-wounded we're playing several out of position and our victors today get a deserved pay-day in the next round, something we could have well done with.Oh well. Happy Saturday night everyone! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamond8 Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 I genuinely feel sorry for you guys, I thought we were pretty bad but that performance today takes the biscuit. We were poor for a lot of the game and yet we strolled it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleslie99 Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 I don't believe Duffy takes the job with us without the promise of at least a wee bit of money to bring some players in in January. If not he will be looking at our shower of crocks thinking "What the hell have I taken on" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FifeSons Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 I’m not sure I buy into the we’ll have money to spend in January because of people like Little and Aitchison leaving. Several of the players were signed with the help of sponsorship, I don’t think it’s a guarantee that those same sponsors will dip into their own pockets again. Its bleak times, 8th would be an achievement right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no doubt we have some serious issues with injuries but I still don’t see anything from any player who looks like they actually want to play for us . I have liked dowie but he even seems de-motivated and it shows on the park. Heard more talk from perry today. Do we now need another keeper with smith going off this afternoon? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dowie’s seemed demotivated all season. No words of encouragement from him whenever a goal goes in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
