Shanner Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Wigtown is a very nice corner of the country and sure to be a decent day out win lose or draw. You can stroll along the windswept beaches of the solway firth and perhaps catch a view of the peaks of the Lake District. Then back to the village for lunch and on to spend an afternoon thumbing through rare vintage and antique volumes in one of the many book shops, before proceeding to get blackout drunk on a cheap cargo and watching Talbot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon a West equivalent is Rutherglen / Shotts as a mid table East of Scotland 1st Division team. I seen they drew in pre season to Hill of Beath who defeated us last season in Scottish Cup so will be no mugs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seen they drew in pre season to Hill of Beath who defeated us last season in Scottish Cup so will be no mugs. Last season they were a very technical side, playing out from the back, their center forwards scored a few goals, just a little heavy but very good turning the defenders. Both full backs were young but very fast and both centre halfs were fairly mobile, (although the taller one looked a bit hesitant when receiving ball and the whole team liked to move the ball very quickly and found them stronger attacking down the left side but unsure if same team / manager coaching staff etcc... this season as watched them at the start of season 22/23. I would say technically better than both Rutherglen and Shotts but both Shotts and Glens are much stronger physically opponents than Dunipace Edited July 27, 2023 by Bestsinceslicebread 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a saddo fact Dumfries is closer to Glasgow than it is to Stranraer by a couple miles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If David Grant is still playing up top for them he will cause problems, played for Darvel for a couple of seasons, tremendous hold up play and can finish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure most comments will be based on last season about most teams as it's always hard to judge in preseason with new players coming in , players going on holiday , teams been chopped and changed so the the full squad gets minutes under their belt etc etc 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
