The Elephant In The Rock Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 (edited) A hardworking player who often goes unnoticed named Mark? Sounds familiar. Edited June 10, 2015 by The Elephant In The Rock 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'Kelly Isley III Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 And here's The Dumbarton Terrace's interview with the new signing: https://thedumbartonterrace.wordpress.com/2015/06/10/busy-time-on-and-off-the-pitch-for-mark/ I'm pretty happy with this news; apart from the lad being a very useful addition it seems to further reinforce the line that players enjoy working with the two Stevies, never a bad thing at a part-time club with limited resources. And I've always been impressed with Mark Docherty when he faced us, guys like him contributed greatly to a stuffy defence which didn't leak a lot of goals last season. Really looking forward to the next addition to this Stranralloa FC squad 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas 62 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Once in your team,a hard man to drop, very consistent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dink Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I'm very sorry to see Docherty leaving us. I thought he improved our midfield, bringing a bit of urgency to our play. He is also a very good crosser of the ball and we must have got a decent number of goals from his assists. One weakness, however, is his lack of pace and when he got played at full back he struggled a bit. Especially when up against a pacey winger. All in all he should be a good signing for Dumbarton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyWilsonsMoustache Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Happy with Docherty signing, I'm sure he will be a useful addition. So Stephen Dobbie is a free agent. He could do with getting his career back on track again... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Parr Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Another promising signing. We're not far off being able to field a starting 11 now... But yeah, much more to come I expect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waspie Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 And I've always been impressed with Mark Docherty when he faced us, guys like him contributed greatly to a stuffy defence which didn't leak a lot of goals last season. Handy player without doubt but he didn't "contribute greatly" to our defence, he was only ever drafted in at LB when Meggat was either injured or covering at centre half. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le shocolate moose Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Excellent left back and very consistent..another good signing for Dumbarton . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Pete Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Sounds like he was used more as a left back at Stranraer and more as a midfielder at Alloa. I'd imagine we'll use him as a left back given that we haven't, so far at least, signed another one and he played as a fullback under Aitken for Stranraer, winning multiple POTY awards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I wouldn't be surprised to see him start in midfield with Miller being used as cover. As far as left backs go I'd be delighted to see us go for Jackson Longridge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BallochSonsFan Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I've heard worse Pete We've got a player at the Clan called Tristan Cameron Harper. Who calls their kid Tristan? Or Cameron? At least Jackson can be shortened to Jack. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howlin' Wilf Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 What kind of fucking monster names a wee boy, a Scottish wee boy no less, "Jackson"? Being an older type of chap, I can remember the Scottish Presbyterian habit of giving the first born boy the mother's maiden surname as a Christian Name. Hence the number of guys of a certain age with Christian names such as Crawford, Findlay and Farquhar which Billy Connolly had some fun parodying. St Mirren had a manager called Wilson Humphries and I'm sure OK3 will remember a lad at Knoxland who rejoiced in the name Wilson Totten. Not sure if Wilson Pickett's maw was Scottish. I suspect that Brown McMaster and Brown Ferguson will have fallen under this curse and as a result were probably nicknamed Toaly or Turd at school. One of the Scottish Tory leader chaps is called Jackson Carlaw so I suspect he got the name for that reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But let's not forget also the mercurial footballing talent on Sons' books in the early 1970's of one Drummond Mentiply, a Marc Bolan lookalike midfielder who was somewhat erratic in performance. He never quite made it at Boghead - or anywhere else for that matter - but gave rise to the epic Gare Clyde headline 'Multiply Mentiply !' in the County Reporter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naught A Chance Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Quite happy with the signing of Docherty, seemed quite tidy an very vocal on any occasion I seen him. Squad coming together nicely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Pete Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Here, lads, do any of you own the DFC history book by Tom Snr? Can't seem to find a copy, so if someone has one they're finished with I'd be happy to throw some filthy lucre at you in exchange. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
