LIVIFOREVER Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Yeah Stanton and Fozzy have had 3 games in the team playing the full 90 mins now and the last 2 were against teams clearly better than us, so this one is more at our level and will be a good judge of seeing where the team are with the new players gelling in. I think we've a better looking shape in midfield, and Halkett looks pretty good at RB to finally give a bit better balance to our back line, wont know for sure until we've been up against teams around about us where we've a better chance of getting the 3 points. Might have another signing before this game too as Hopkin is still looking to bring in a couple more new players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afro Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I can only ever remember us beating Dumbarton twice, ever. Both times at the Rock, the first where Beany infamously took being a WUM to the next level and the other last season, where we destroyed them 5-1. Standard home win then, with the winner scored after the 80th minute as per. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wasn't a particularly enjoyable day in all honesty. The games have a very similar pattern. If Livi win they do it in memorable style - 5-0, 1-5, Beanie's celebration etc. If we win we do it with a late goal (usually from a set piece, but not always) 1-2, 1-2, 1-1, 2-1. If it's a draw then there's always an equaliser in injury time. Who remembers the 2-2 a few years back when Garry Fleming was sent off, then the ref went off, and Chris Kane equalised in about the 102nd minute? Colin Nish scored a belter that day too.

The Moonster Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 No way we'll let that game go ahead, it's been teeming it down all day and it would almost certainly put Saturday off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Vojáček Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Nish volley from outside the area ?? Great finish - I don't remember Fleming red card Aye, Nish's goal was a belter. First time volley straight from a Grindlay punt and he had only been on the pitch for about 4 minutes. How I miss having more than one striker. Garry was sent off just infront of the Livi fans after an altercation with everyone's favorite head-high tackling left-back. IIRC it was 0-0 at the time and Ke.Jacobs scored soon after. Nish equalised with the wondergoal, Andy Barrowman tapped in for Livi before Kane grabbed a leveler very, very late on. It must have been a wonderful game for a neutral.

rock1884 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Rangers are playing St Johnstone at Murray Park right now. I got it moved yesterday. Park is underwater just now and the weather is horrific for the rest of the week. Only plus point is it isnt high tide on Saturday afternoon so you never know.

DumbartonTheSons Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 everyone's favorite head-high tackling left-back. Does anyone know who he's playing for these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DumbartonTheSons Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 That was at high tide today. Doesn't look promising. Beans doesn't even play for Livi anymore, so there's not even any diving jokes we can make given the amount of water on the pitch. I still hold out hope of it being on, but it can't be easy to get the pitch playable when it's like that and it's only Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Vojáček Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Does anyone know who he's playing for these days? Dunfermline I think. Nice bonus of staying up would be having him back at the Rock. Edit: Dammit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumbarton Rock Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 The high winds forecast will also help but they are still saying 50mph gusts on Saturday which would make the game a farce even if I get it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
