Sons' sorrow


Recommended Posts

Obviously the form table is pretty tight, but we’re objectively one of the worst sides in the league at the moment.

Combine it with the ascendency of East Fife and Forfar and you can probably guess where we’re finishing.

Plus, that Peterhead form really makes me think East Fife will get something up there on Saturday.

Good thing I haven't booked that playoff travel yet. Might have to delete the annual leave from the calendar...

That’s what I thought, but he’s still there on Companies House. Not that the club is ever quick to update that, so you’re probably right. I wondered if maybe the confusion was that he’d resigned from the CC board, but not DFC.

Moonster is correct, there are three active Directors at DFC although Paul McPherson's role and duties remain unknown.  Which leaves two actually running the show.

Some of us have developed a part-time hobby in recent years trying to keep up with the blizzard of comings and goings on Companies House involving DFC, Cognitive Capital, MoreHomes DFC and MoreRooms (RIP).  That should perhaps tell even the most starry-eyed optimists something.

We should probably add Cameron to the "active" list too!

it's quite sad to see just how bad things have got for you guys.

this time last year, you were still just top of the league although we were on our way to passing you. it's really only kept getting worse.

this year's post January form is even worse than last years. 

having gone through plenty bad times ourselves over the years and the joys of several terrible managers, i can only sympathise.

Whilst we haven't really the faintest idea what Paul McPherson is doing, we can say what he isn't doing and that's engaging with fans with the openness and transparency promised in that initial blizzard of reagent-grade shite he posted on here. 

Another charlatan by the looks of it, terrific.

Paul got free shirt sponsorship just in time for a televised Cup tie v Rangers

Don't worry, I'm sure he's paying the club a really generous fee for it and there's nothing underhand or dodgy going on at all.

Problem is, A.Hosie knows the strength of feeling and concern from the fanbase about his ownership and you'd better believe the guy will exploit it all the way. He also clearly, like Neil MacKay has nothing but contempt for the fanbase. Expect a nice hefty 'sentiment' premium baked into any offer he's willing to accept from a fan-led bid.

Active but not fully official yet. Coming soon to companies house 😊

If I spotted you correctly in East Fife's highlights, that's an excellent looking beard.

It's way worse than in the last year though. This decline has been happening since we dropped out of the Championship and particularly over the last few years where we have become a laughing stock in so many ways.

The papering over the cracks just seems a helluva lot more exposed now than it has in the years prior.

It is indeed way worse on a couple of metrics, and whatever anyone thinks of the team management the injuries to Long, Young and Durnan have been hammer blows.  There is also the waygoing of McLean, Shiels and Wallace to consider.

But shit happens and you need to respond, but in truth the with the exception of Newbury, the loanees and recent signings have fallen short of the mark.  As in truth have a couple of the close-season additions, eg Malcolm and Hilton.  We're now a long way from a settled, reliable team and there is an over-reliance on certain players.

The other deterioration is the pitch.  Last season we had several postponements due to frost and lying water, and whilst we haven't lost a fixture this time the surface has become a muddy nightmare.  It must be really dispiriting for Sons players knowing that for a couple of months of the season every home game is played on a midden. 

We must be truly desperate for Broomhill's money

Tbf the manager doesn't help himself when he puts on an already-injured Kalvin Orsi at 4-0 down, then refuses to take him off when he's clearly crocked.
