The scarf I wear sometimes is from the boghead days and I remember being far too overly excited when I got a programme signed by the team and Michael Dickie dropped it off at my house. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a (now probably very deflated) signed by the team match ball from the last game at Boghead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt Inverness have much money to pay Kelty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Pete Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Squad update: https://dumbartonfootballclub.com/squad-update-3/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR3z3ByG62_02XEjfbL4CFygiL_EUEeQlKN-WDbx4SfyqE2LpxUwN_WYPPY_aem_AQmnTI1KtjCt4yEi0wha1lXi_TsYliEFhyzl09ANfGMBvn5AjxM1REoEoCC6YgdHMBfcKdE_7z2EmTZT7FBorn8L 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squeezebox-son Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Can't argue much but I reckon Lynas isn't anywhere near the standard. He's been a squad player in the league below who occasionally looked out of his depth, so I don't think he is good enough to step up a league. I'd also like to assume (stupid I know) that the 3 remaining players aren't offered terms at all. Interesting that Ross Maclean is listed as under contract too... are we likely to see him return?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FifeSons Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 (edited) The supporters bus will be raging, but as I've already said, I wouldn't have offered Lynas a new deal. I'd be telling Ryan Blair and Div Wilson to find new clubs and I wouldn't offer any of the guys yet to discuss a deal. My suspicion is he will do the opposite on all of that (other than Paddy O'Neil). Edited May 24 by FifeSons 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Pete Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Surely Ross McLean's contract is purely a formality/technicality and he'll be released from it? After all, isn't it that he's unable to play due to work? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elrow Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 I thought lynas signed a 2 year deal. Was that not mentioned on the podcast from last season when it was signed? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think Lynas may turn it down in search of more regular playing time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWL Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 (edited) Lynas alongside Mark Durnan was a far more accomplished defender. As was highlighted at Ainslie Park. I'd not be upset if we kept him. Especially if we run a tight squad where he can cover full back, centre half and midfield. Edited May 24 by PWL 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but then the problem there is that you're doubling down on Mark Durnan, who is barely averaging 20 games a season for the last 5+ years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FifeSons Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 What's the script with the manager's fund btw? Is it still going? Do we get to know how much is in it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 I understand Lynas being kept on but not sure I agree with it. One I'm not overly fussed about as long as we're bringing in good competition for centre back. Orsi, Gray and Ruth are the ones we're all waiting for though if we're honest. Depending on which of them sign up shapes how you attack the market from there. If none of them sign we have some job on our hands. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully not, seems like he lost interest in us and used work as an excuse, perhaps not accurate but that is my feeling. Would be frustrating to let him walk back in. I also think we can do better now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the majority of his performances were due to Durnan being injured, I wouldn't bank on this being reason enough for keeping him. He also showed up well enough in his first couple of games before being found out and fast becoming a weak link that was targeted every week by the opposition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very little as far as I'm aware. It has been used a few times in recent seasons to help get deals over the line but I don't think there's now much by way of input. I personally don't contribute as I don't see why the supporters should be plugging gaps when the club Board and the ownership seem incapable of generating funds. It was meant as a modest backup, nothing more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, though if an extra £50-£100/week convinced Mikey Ruth to stay, I'd be tempted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any future money the supporters give to the club should have a return of shares on it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
