Sweet Pete Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 And what performance measures do you look for to distinguish competency from incompetency in being a baboon? Well, I can only answer for myself, but for me, a competent baboon is one who catches loads of vervet monkeys. Having never actually caught, nor eaten, a vervet monkey, I would have to concede that by my own standards I am an incompetent baboon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottylintonstowel Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 There were a lot of baboons in Gibraltar but never saw any velvet monkeys. Quite a few chimpanzees have refereed Dumbarton games over the years. All were far better than Bobby madden. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyWilsonsMoustache Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Steven Craig injury: actually injured or pissed that he was (rightly) dropped for, as aptly described earlier, "standing around like a big fanny"? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThirdrockfromtheSon Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Steven Craig injury: actually injured or pissed that he was (rightly) dropped for, as aptly described earlier, "standing around like a big fanny"? I made the comment that Stephen Craig is not a footballer right after the Alloa game. Nothing he has done since has altered my opinion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Fitzgerald Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 You can have Rogers back if you'd like. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 You can have Rogers back if you'd like.Stick him in a cardboard box and send him our way. We'll mail you Mark Brown in return. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThirdrockfromtheSon Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Stick him in a cardboard box and send him our way. We'll mail you Mark Brown in return. Or you can have Jamie Ewings - I've heard he's about one and a half time the goalie that Brown is...........in size, anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike rankine Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 You can have Rogers back if you'd like. I gather he was at fault for the equaliser but didn't he deny Alloa earlier in the game with a couple of cracking saves? That was the sense I got from the Radio Scotland "Open All Mics" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McG Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Do you guys want Murray and Spalding back? They are out there depth in Paisley. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aftershocker Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 No thanks. They took us as far as they could and I don't think anyone here was overly gutted when they left 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Do you guys want Murray and Spalding back? They are out there depth in Paisley.Nope. You keep 'em.Fire Aggy back our way if you want, though. Would be a decent option from the bench. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThirdrockfromtheSon Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Do you guys want Murray and Spalding back? They are out there depth in Paisley.No.Murray appears to be proving some of the Sons fans right by him not being as tactically aware as I imagined. E was. A lot of St.Mirren fans now seem to be bubbling under the surface, just waiting for a freak scoreline to happen, to get the knives out for him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'Kelly Isley III Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Do you guys want Murray and Spalding back? They are out there depth in Paisley. What is the issue here ? Ian Murray specialises in positioning teams in the bottom third of the Championship - didn't your Board realise that ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I've been saying it since long before Murray left Dumbarton - his record in this league since the start of 2015 is absolutely attrocious. The appointment of Spalding was as baffling as it was stupid and I'm not surprised in the slightest to see them both struggling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I think Spalding was out his depth when he was with us tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowhereman Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Football fans are fickle aren't they. Murray kept us in the Championship with six games to spare last season. If Aitken can do that as well are there any Sons fans out there who wouldn't be satisfied with that 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Aitken can do that as well are there any Sons fans out there who wouldn't be satisfied with that Absolutely but there's no denying we were utterly dreadful from new year onwards. The squad was threadbare, vital players weren't replaced, our assistant wasn't replaced and there was even infighting going on after the Alloa pumping. The manager didn't look interested in all honesty and things had gone very stale. I had even heard from a player himself that a lot of them hated Spalding's training and that Murray wasn't all that well liked. Am I thankful for what Murray achieved with us? Absolutely. Am I glad he's moved on? Absolutely. Call that fickle if you wish, but as I've said before we owe Ian Murray nothing, we took a gamble on a complete rookie and it worked for both parties. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Since ross left, Murray looked out of his depth. I think that's unfair. As Nowhereman says nobody can argue with the job he did here and even working with different assistants has still kept us in the league. That's looking on the face of things and all looks good. However, BBPF has it spot on and I don't think that makes any of us fickle, especially considering there was a good bunch of us who said they'd hoped Murray moved on before he actually did so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a greenie on me..... As regards the six games to spare vis-à-vis Stevie Aitken this term, we'd need to have Livvy deducted 5 points to have a truly valid comparison. Ian Murray did very well for us, but there was a point last season when I think he and his agent began to work his ticket away from Dumbarton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
