Scottish Cup 2023/24

I thought it was a really entertaining, open cup tie at Dunbar today. PJM had an error-ridden performance for us in goal and we were really fortunate that we conceded only 1. Some wasteful finishing by the hosts let us off the hook.

Great to visit a new ground, a tidy one at that. The atmosphere was generally friendly and despite the relief of getting through I felt some sympathy for Dunbar going out. The fans I spoke to were decent and I wish them well in the EoS. They were a good advert for the 6th tier, though in turn we didn't look great for a team 3 leagues higher. Improvement required for the league campaign ahead.

Incredible game at Galabank. Sons well worth our 2-0 first half lead and it was only some inspired goalkeeping by Greg Fleming that kept Annan from an absolute route. Half time wonders from the Annan manager and they suddenly find themselves able to exploit our right hand side. The Annan opener was a really nice finish and came from a really good bit of counter attacking. The home side definitely the better of the two teams in the 2nd half, but Dumbarton refused to accept defeat and equalised with 2 minutes left of the 90. Annan again took the lead in the first period of extra time, before Ruth tied the game at 4-4 and then James Hilton blasted home Dumbarton's 5th - a goal that was a worthy match winner.

Max Kilsby's nasty attempt at a backwards stamp/stud drag down the shin of a Sons player saw the game threaten to boil over. Neither the ref nor the linesman had any kind of view of the incident because of the number of players surrounding both of them on the edge of the box. It was a genuinely scumbag move by Kilsby and had it been caught by the officials then it was more than worthy of a straight red.

A fantastic game of football. Emotional rollercoaster for both sets of fans. Some really well taken goals.

A fair reflection of the game.Dumbarton overall deserved it.

Annan very threadbare - no strength in depth.

Kilsby will never make it at Carlisle.

Josh Galloway will never make it.

Campbell will never make it at Motherwell.

Man of the match Greg Fleming says it all.

That's the boy being raved about last season and Annan fans delighted he rejoined this season? 

Has he went downhill or have you just never rated him?
