George Parr Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 27 minutes ago, unitedbino said: This is a bit of a piss take. I know plenty fans (myself included) who felt it was an insult to ask us to queue outside in the pissing rain for 30 mins to get the voucher, and so didn't. Dumbarton should be operating an honest jar policy for the rearranged fixture. That would be common sense. Setting aside what’s fair and what’s not, the club genuinely doesn’t have a pot to piss in. They’re quite simply not going to host an event where hundreds of punters get to pay what they want. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boghead ranter Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 I hope the pitch recovers from that light rain on Sunday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three times now I've been on a supporters bus for a game that's still not been played, they can ram it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thommo90 Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Glad to hear Carswell, Maclean, Mckee and Gemmell are all expected to be fit and play a part this weekend. Good to get some minutes in ahead of playoffs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Points deductions, police investigations, homophobic abuse to name just a few of the bonkers comments we are all waking up to this morning! Didn't you know mate? Getting hysterical and running screaming to the press and the polis is the new normal at Stirling. They have great ideas too, like a boycott that could leave our players battling for a league title with a no show support. It's like having a whole batch of Marjorie Taylor Greenes at your back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WattersIsGod Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Unfortunately the worst of people often seem to have the loudest voices. Every club has their fair share of nutters and they seem to often reside on Facebook and twitter. I don't judge any club on the worst of their support. With the weather currently looking fine, I'm wondering what freak event is coming this time. Localised tornado? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is 4-6 weeks apparently. Gemms' career is also over unfortunately, he won't play again because of his injury. I believe Thommo may be pulling a few pissers here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine if this had happened to Elgin (when most of their players are based up there) or even someone like Forfar, Stranraer or Annan who have a fair few local players. That's why something has to be done longer term to sort the pitch. We could have Buckie and Peterhead in our league next season. It would be horrific having them travelling down only for a call-off with an hour or so until kick off. Once or even twice a season is understandable. But that's six call offs we've had? Four against Stirling, and one each against Stenny and Forfar. Edited April 12, 2023 by Jan Vojáček 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
