TheVoiceofReason Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Well it's another blank Saturday due to Elgin City's continuing cup exploits. We've had an unfortunate run of postponements that have severely affected the momentum we built up just before Christmas. That, with the loss of Fotheringham, will be a real test for the management, medical guys and the players. Going to be interesting.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB_Bino Posted February 8, 2023 Author Share Posted February 8, 2023 Yip, definitely frustrating TVOR and I think there have been signs over the Stranraer and East Fife games that the players aren't quite in that groove that they were in before the New Year. There's not much we can do about it with Elgin being the only League 2 team left in the cup, but I would argue that it's definitely an advantage to Dumbarton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Binos Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 It shouldn't be allowed If they'd said no at Christmas we would likely have investigated another player 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing you can't do, is transfer a player under contract to one club, to another club between the transfer windows. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like more good work in the loans market from DY as the kid seems to be well regarded. Hope it works out well for him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WC Boggs Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Assuming Flynn Duffy will be in for Clark. Good luck to the lad. Hamilton probably on the bench? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

headthebaw Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 A great result from a scrappy game. I though Robbie Hamilton looked a good signing. Super Sub Spence now with 2 in 2 games! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMDPco Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Yeah, that was an awful game of football on a terrible pitch but great effort from the players throughout and especially to dig out the winner at the end. First visit to Bonnyrigg, enjoyed it. Hope they stay up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Vojáček Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 I was thinking last night that being a Sons or Binos fan at the moment must be what it feels like to be an Old Firm fan. I really got my hopes up that Bonnyrigg would hold on, but deep down I knew that winner was coming. Just as, I suspect, Binos fans felt on Saturday when we squeaked beyond Annan. You do have to say fair play to both sides for their records so far. To be pretty much secured of a playoff place by Valentines' Day isn't something many teams manage, and it's a credit to how consistent both have been at stringing together positive results. In a lot of seasons our current records would have one our teams sitting fairly comfortably at the top of the league. This title race is not good for the heart rate, but both squads are performing admirably. Especially given the variety of venues in this league; from our tattie field to big astros at Forfar, Stenny and EF to the hilly public park style at Bonnyrigg. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes it even more enjoyable(?) in a way is neither team is blowing the opposition away. Seems to be victories by 1 goal most weeks, which says a lot about the character of both teams, but gives hope to both that the other team will falter. Come the end of the season, I hope both teams manage to get promoted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come the end of the season, I hope both teams manage to get promoted. Yeah I agree on all counts. And the question mark after the first point is definitely something I can relate to! Both teams are good, but they aren't a Cove/Kelty or whoever who are smashing teams and cruising to wins (other than a certain exception at Forthbank...) most weeks. It's absolutely horrible. But also superb at the same time. My nerves are shot to pieces but I get a nervous excitement for every Saturday that I've not experienced in quite a wee while as a Sons fan - and I don't doubt it's the same for you guys after a fair few seasons of underachievement. Forthbank's my local ground these days, so I'll definitely jump along to cheer you on in the playoffs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing catch up tends to enforce that mindset. That said, after years of bugger all hope under a succession of failed rookie managers, at least there finally is hope. Just being where we are is intoxicating stuff after that experience. With 45 points still up for grabs it's fascinating. but very nervy come match days. After the season from hell for them in league 1 Dumbarton supporters possibly feel much the same way about things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
