FifeSons Posted February 23 Author Share Posted February 23 I wonder if he'll finally start Gray. Given how stubborn he is and the fact he knows the fans are screaming for it, I expect he won't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FifeSons Posted February 23 Author Share Posted February 23 (edited) Also, the stream appears to be on sale. The badges being in the wrong order and different sizes annoys me much more than it should! https://dumbartonfootballclub.com/onlinematch/ Looking forward to shouting as much heinous personal abuse at Faz as I like from the comfort of my own home without repercussion!

pleslie99 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Can only assume the pitch is in some nick considering the rain we’ve had this week. If it goes ahead it will be a mud bath surely 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverton End Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Watching Thistle v The Pars tonight, the Firhill pitch runs ours pretty close in the ploughed field stakes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BallochSonsFan Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 What do we reckon for today then? Farrell still refusing to play Gray from the start? Tony Wallace on the bench too? Hilton and Kelly taking turns to show that neither are wide players? Lennon left really exposed because whichever one of the afore mentioned players doesnt give him any kind of protection. I'm not ruling out Sam Mendes showing up to film a sequel to 1917 on that disgrace of a pitch. We need to win today. If we don't then we'll have managed just 2 league wins for the whole of December, January and February. The idea that we can potentially hit 3 calendar months with only 2 league wins should be unthinkable. Sadly there's every chance that we'll be in that exact position around 3:50 this afternoon. I think this is probably the last chance to prevent things from becoming really nasty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is probably the last chance to prevent things from becoming really nasty. The thing that totally blows my mind is how we're still (at this exact moment in time) sitting comfortably in the playoffs places. A run like that in most other leagues would have you knocked out of promotion contention for good. It's not even like we started the season with seven straight wins like last year too. I cannot understand how we're still fourth despite that fact. I agree with you though. If things haven't already turned nasty, then defeat today would do that for good. Back-to-back defeats against the bottom two in the league as part of a run of two wins in three months would tip most fanbases over the edge. Let alone one that's probably already over that. I hope we go balls out to win the game. It'll be a scrap on our shambles of a park, it's not going to be one for pretty football or gentle build up play. Get shots away, get balls into good areas and get our best players on the park please. A game to go back to basics in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Fair fucks to anyone paying at the gate today. I can think of about 400 things I'd rather do with £17 and 100 of those involve destroying it in some way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peternapper Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Is the early kick off a one off or could it become norm? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve tried to dress it up like we’re eco warriors and thinking of the climate when in reality it’s a cost cutting exercise. Personally I prefer a 3pm kick off but if it saves us a bit of cash then they can go for it but it requires approval from both the SPFL and the opposing team which I’m not sure we’d get for every home game. I’d imagine it would probably suit the players getting home a bit earlier on a Saturday evening so if we’re offering it then you may find them pushing for it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If DFC were serious about saving the planet & fans stumbling around in the dark they'd have had early kick-offs months ago, the days are a lot longer now.

squeezebox-son Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 To be fair, there won't be any requirement for floodlights in the next 4-6 weeks anyway. Even now, it's light til nearly 6pm so I can't imagine many more being moved, unless it is for other reasons like the players preference etc. An early kick off is a great thing if you're in good form. It allows you to put pressure on the others around you in the table. But, on our current run, it'll just be motivation at half time for the like of East Fife and Bonnyrigg to up their game, if they aren't already winning at half time in their own matches. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you haven't realised Jan is that we have pioneered the concept of the football team as pacemaker. It's like the 10,000 metres - we perform for 15 games then quietly slip out of the race to let the Binos, Stenny and whoever fight it out. It's pretty impressive how we can almost precisely repeat it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
