19QOS19 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Really good signing I'd say. A few fans would have been happy if he stayed this season but for me I think we released him at the right time. He'll do a turn for Dumbarton and is a great leader at the back. He's a moany arsehole mind you and your 'keeper will take a rollocking on more than one occasion, it's never Dowie's fault He'll win everything in the air. He isn't quick but reads the game really well to make up for it. No doubts he'll be a successful signing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if he'll be made captain. Experienced, right position and (by the sounds of it) a natural leader. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Higgins was a much more natural captain though. Dowie was our vice captain for most of his time here though and I'm sure he'd do fine with it if given the role. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naturally it'll all come down to who we sign, but out of the eight players we have signed up he's the most ehm, leadery. I was never convinced Darren Barr was a natural captain, like Andy Graham before him, so I guess I'll have to wait and see. Dowie sounds like more of a captain than Barr though, who was criticised quite a lot for seemingly being quiet on the pitch when things weren't going our way. 23 minutes ago, Bring Back Paddy Flannery said: We want more.

I've finally had my hit, and it was so good I'm absolutely desperate for a full blown overdose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's more 'Not quick' than 'Slow' tbf. I can't ever recall commenting on how slow he is. He's just not gifted with pace. He could of course be extremely slow but I've never noticed it because he makes up for it with his reading of the game. Someone fast beside him wouldn't go a miss though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Parr Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Hopefully turns out to be a shrewd signing. Our experienced central defender hit rate has been pretty good since we came up to the Championship, with Night Mair being the notable exception. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armand 2 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Dowie was a particularly astute bit of business by Archie in our promotion winning season. A very steady performer in the run in and scored the opener in the title clincher at Falkirk. That spell was quite cathartic after he spent a rather acrimonious period with us in our relegation season under Gerry Britton, Derek Whyte and latterly Dick Campbell, ending in him being sacked along with Stevie Fulton for going to the boozer during a game at Raith. I had him down for older than 34 now though. Sure he'll do a fine job at Dumbarton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
