TheVoiceofReason Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Decent first half but poor second as both sides were out on their feet after an hour. Thought DY might have used more subs too. Banner was solid for us in the middle and Ross Davidson was back to his enigmatic 'good first half terrible second half' shenanigans. We're stumbling over the line just now but that's something like 17 games unbeaten so we'll take that all day long. Great backing for the team again from our support Looked like Dumbarton set out with the sole task of taking a point to deny us winning the title on their patch so in that respect it was job done for the sons. Ex bino div Wilson played well especially first half. Always liked him at Stirling although he was terribly inconsistent - a good technical player on his day though. Will be nice to win the title formally at home though and on a Saturday. Bring it on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unitedbino Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Genuine Q - is that just the speed the Dumbarton GK plays at? Because it was exactly the same at Forthbank a few weeks ago. Two must-win matches for Dumbarton, so surely it's not actually time-wasting? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine (just a guess) he's been told to slow the game down and possibly frustrate Albion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when we're losing then he usually goes at the same sort of pace. I think it became a self fulfilling prophecy for Stirling a wee bit. Their fans got quite hung up on it. I was watching the clock and it took 12 seconds between the ball going out of play and going live today for one in the first-half, at which stage a few Stirling fan's heads were looking likely to explode. Blair Currie had a couple in the second half that took a similar time. But I wouldn't have said that was time wasting either. Sometimes you just take a bit longer to settle things down, let guys get into position and set yourself for it. Anyway. I thought we played well tonight and you could see it was the top two sides in the division. It was far from as good a watch as the last meeting, but both sets of players left everything out there - and effort wise I don't think either set of fans could've asked for much more. I can only echo the other comments about our star performers. Big Peter Grant was absolutely sensational and I hope we throw a permanent deal his way. Kalvin Orsi was great fun again too, a real threat and looks to be enjoying himself. If we're dishing out the two year deals then he has to be one of the top priorities to get tied down. He's terrific at this level. Congratulations to the Binos on the title. The fact it's mid-April and you haven't lost since the week before I put my Christmas tree up is absolutely remarkable. About time you got yourself back to the big time. Or the lesser of the seaside leagues anyway! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WattersIsGod Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 I saw it thst way too. Trying to slow the game down.. Thought Dumbarton were good in the air which nullified our set piece threat a bit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unitedbino Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Felt quite anticlimactic tonight, when is a shame because had the game been played a few weeks ago I imagine there would have been fireworks. Not much in the match besides the two headed chances (one for each team). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCismyhero Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Perhaps next season, along with many things, Dumbarton should focus on making sure folk don’t duplicate the incredibly easy to copy “Postponed Match Vouchers”. That extra money could’ve paid a groundsman a decent wage. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would have undoubtedly lost the match if played a couple of weeks ago so to that extent I’m glad we played out that dire draw tonight. Avoiding defeat was the key and perhaps a win would have only offered false hope. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
