In amongst all the noise when you joined I may have misunderstood what you were all about. I thought you were joining us to try and put players in the shop window. All the best It’s completely understandable, there was a part of me that wanted to engage when comments were coming out, but with everything else I decided against it to try and do some work and hopefully be taken on face value after that work, rather than identifying areas and not being successful in those. Nothing worse that having hopes for something or someone and them not delivering. If all had gone well I would have been delighted and open to show what we wanted to do and how fans could help, as it’s nobody’s club other than the fans. I would have been in an honourable position to try and deliver goals for the fans and eliminate the raging concerns that have gone on, even putting myself in the firing line if needed. Good luck for the remainder of the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't buy this "I was here to help the club" line. Andy Hosie's involvement with the club is border line criminal and if I was ever able to converse with him I'd be as cynical as I am now. Coming on here and facing his critics? I'd have respect for him if he'd done that 10 months ago, not now when he's looking to save face ahead of his next "investment opportunity". I'll leave it there though. I respect your opinion and understand your scepticism. Appreciate you replying to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FifeSons Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Let’s be honest, if it wasn’t for the prospect of the land, none of these individuals would be anywhere near Dumbarton FC. This will continue to be the case until the club is in the fan’s hands. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cremola foam Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Look, I mean, if someone takes a serious interest in the club and offers to bring something in then we should welcome that, no matter how it turns out in the end in terms of hard investment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if you’re being sarcastic but doing what you suggest is what’s left the club being owned by shysters and persons of questionable integrity over the last x number of years. We should treat any interest in the club extremely carefully indeed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatAlan Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 (edited) Firstly, a modicum of credit should be given to ‘colpie’ here for having the cojones to come on here in the aftermath of him leaving the club. He will have known he’d have been received more poorly than a fart in a lift but he’s come on here and at least been visible. That’s certainly more than he did when he was in place at the club, and more than some of the other ‘interested parties’ in place at the club have done. We all know who these people are. Only a select few will ever really know of Colin’s motivations or intentions on carrying them through but him coming out now, after leaving the club, to me smacks of trying to save face before another Scottish football ‘project’. Whether he’s another joker or pretender or his ambition was misplaced, who will ever really know, but I’m certainly glad to be rid of someone whose intentions were at best unknown and at worst potentially damaging to the club. There’s more where he came from but it’s a start. Edited October 24, 2022 by CatAlan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Came across this on Twitter. It sounds daft, given I'm in there somewhere, but I didn't realise how healthy a support we took down to Cumnock on Friday. Given the atrocious weather, poor run and fact it was on free TV I think that's a terrific turnout. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
microdave Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 (edited) Away to Clyde in the next round. Meh. Eta It's been so long since we played them in the cup that Clyde actually went on to win the tournament.

FifeSons Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 (edited) It’s essentially being played at a neutral venue, too, so not really a proper ‘away’ game. Definitely a chance for us. They have also lost their last 9 league games in a row. Hopefully that weirdo Lennon is still in charge by then. Farrell really had his number last season, too.

O'Kelly Isley III Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Clyde v Dumbarton at Hamilton at the end of November simply screams 'Magic Of The Cup'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleslie99 Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 With Hamilton also drawn at home I reckon we can probably rule out a 3pm Saturday fixture........unless of course we are chosen for tv again. I have a feeling BBC will think the draw is as 'meh' as we do! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonsanorak Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 I think the hamilton game is more likely to be televised than ours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Whilst we’re on the topic of Clyde v Dumbarton, I see Conner Duthie recently had to undergo heart surgery. That’s a real shame, hopefully he makes a full recovery. https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/9656438/hole-in-my-heart-surgery-spfl-footballer/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a big shift from Faz saying he should be back next week. Chance for Garrity to show what he can do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He says the diagnosis will be confirmed after a scan, but he's worried it's serious and in the meantime it's agony. Frankly, his various comments make the club's healthcare of its players look pretty poor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
