I believe Stevie was one of a host of managers interested in him before, but with Stranraer due compensation (iirc) nothing ever happened. I think he was pretty close to leaving them for a full-time club this time last year, but that fell through too. He did a good job of dealing with Froxy in the diddy cup game, is young, has a decent amount of experience and will be determined to take this chance to shine in the Championship. I was expecting an untried loanee to cover for Boomer, so to get a guy with a decent, proven record (albeit in a lower league) is a boost. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I can't claim to have seen much of Liam Dick but it sounds like he could be a solid replacement for McLaughlin. As S08 said, he certainly stands out as a better option than an untried youngster who takes 5 or 6 games to get up to scratch. He should be ready to hit the ground running. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gav-ffc Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Seen him a few times for us and was always impressed and was surprised to see him move on when he did. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's quite interesting (in my totally unbiased opinion) and involved me really stretching my (A at) Int.2 in Maths to the very limit. I've been seriously pernickety about checking, and double checking everything, but if you can spot any errors give me a shout! http://talesfromtherock.weebly.com/home/2017-in-numbers Happy New Year everyone. May 2018 bring a goalscorer and a slight increase to our PPG average Superb Sonsteam. Very well done.

Stevie obviously has the Stranraer link, but the current tight financial situation at Stair Park has maybe been a factor too. Whatever, we should applaud the signing of a specialist in a vital position - hopefully more to come [emoji120][emoji120][emoji120] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May 2018 bring a goalscorer and a slight increase to our PPG average [emoji4] A cracking write-up and a compelling read So08. Well Done. Liam Dick becomes a Sons playerhttp://www.dumbartonfootballclub.com/news/?mode=view&id=3375 I believe he's quite highly rated by Stranraer fans and was tipped for a full-time move in the summer so I'm happy with his signing. He'll provide competition for places and as has been said, he's got top team experience which could be invaluable.On John Sutton, if the rumour that he 'didn't fancy it' with us and would prefer to be getting cameos like the two-minute one he got against Dundee United the other night, then we've dodged a bullet there. We need someone who wants to be with us and give his all. Someone who prefers being benched than getting first team football (anywhere, at almost any level) isn't what we need. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O'Kelly Isley III Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 We've all got a semi to look forward to. Oooer! Wouldn't it be just marvellous if a Sons team featuring a Frenchman and a Cypriot were to reach a Final of a Scottish national tournament by defeating an English-based club which plays in the Welsh League, and lying in wait for them was a Belfast outfit ?

TheFarPost Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 The Dumbarton Reporter has a rather excitable headline on its front page this week, and another full page inside on the Young's Farm campaign. For the avoidance of doubt (and to relieve the confusion of others), this is where the trust stands -- positive, open, questioning, and concerned above all for the security and flourishing of our club. So be assured: the trust position can only change substantially if our members want it to change, by a democratic decision. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimistic Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I know it’s been said, that John Sutton had knocked us back, but I’m hearing, that he’s apparently signing for us tomorrow. Don’t know if it’s old news doing the rounds again or not, please don’t shoot the messenger 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
