FifeSons Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 6 minutes ago, O'Kelly Isley III said: You know, the more I watch the so-called elite level of football the more glad I am that I watch and support Dumbarton. OK, the individual and collective skills, fitness and organisation may be much lower but the overall experience remains very true to the origins of the game. There is a passion and honesty and randomness that has simply vanished from higher up the chain, and we are also largely free from the incessant demands of commerce and broadcasters to trick up the 'experience' for the domestic and global 'customer'. Last night's latest VAR farrago was another reminder of when it's not broken then don't fix it. I blame it all on Pep Guardiola, but that's maybe for another thread. Being at a live game without VAR (see Ainslie Park, Michael Ruth's second) is unbeatable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Pete Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 I've never been interested in international football. Leaves me cold. Maybe because I'm not nationalistic or maybe because Dumbarton players never get capped, but I've never felt a connection to the national side, or any real interest in any international games. Haven't even watched the euros. Saw a bit of two of the Scotland games and a few minutes of Spain V Germany and that was more than enough dull, pish football for me. I can't wait for the East Kilbride game at the weekend to get the real soccer back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neilly Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Never heard anything about those b*****din' owners you were all crying about when the arse was falling out your season. Never heard a peep since promotion. Must be doing the job now. Nothing to see here. Can be brought up again when the sun isn't shining so brightly on your league position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to derail a Dumbarton thread but the majority of the group games were excellent. Last 16 not as good and overall poor. Quarter Finals terrible aside from Spain v Germany and the two semi finals pretty good too for differing reasons and score line in second one aside. Anyway… Edited July 11 by 1320Lichtie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost feel sorry for you Neilly. How utterly dull must your life be that one of your few bits of joy seems to be coming onto a forum thread for a team you don't support and posting utter drivel. Get a hobby. Go for a walk in the summer sunshine. Go feed the ducks. Buy an airfix kit (although I'm not entirely sure you haven't been getting stuck in to the modelling glue). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PWL Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 The pitch today would be acceptable in February. Not mid summer. Beyond mowing it, it doesn't look like any work has been done. Best order the sand in now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'Kelly Isley III Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Early days certainly but there were some familiar issues on show. Whilst we probably created the better chances East Kilbride played the better football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
