What makes you think we will drop Handling for Wilson? Handling has played a part in about every game since he was fit and Wilson hasn't featured for quite a while. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really relevant whether it is Handling or Wilson but the real point are those 14 are currently the only ones available. As for selling tickets I already have one. Most people are going to the final for the experience not the result. The majority of those going to Oswestry expected TNS to win. When you are a Dumbarton fan it is the game that is important Winning is a bonus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you basically tried to make it look worse by having Wilson in the starting 11 which is not impossible but extremely unlikely. I didn't expect us to win vs TNS but I didn't expect them to win either. They are rotten and even with us not exactly being at the races we were able to overcome them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
microdave Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I aspire upwards not the bottom of Division 3.Whatsmore its our first final in 121 years having so many out is shite. Don't get me wrong, I'm in no hurry to be back in the bottom league and I'd love to have Froxy and Burt available for the final. Just trying to put our current problems in perspective. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleslie99 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 We had similar selection problems before our semi final. We were all even questioning what sort if team we could put out and look what happened there. Yeah Ok, Froxy had a huge part in that but still. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleslie99 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Quick question for everyone. If you had the option of winning the cup final but being relegated and rattling around the doldrums of Scottish football for the foreseable future. Or, losing the cup final, finishing 8th and staying up for next 5 years what would you choose? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

optimistic Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Option 1, it gets tedious watching us trying not to be beaten every week. Be nice to be challenging at the other end of the table for a change, but I’d still rather stay up and play these so called bigger teams, we may never have a chance of lifting a cup again 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowhereman Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Quick question for everyone.

Or, losing the cup final, finishing 8th and staying up for next 5 years what would you choose? Staying up. Being in the bottom division is no fun and there is now the added threat of relegation to the lowland league 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Yeah, I'm not sure I understand the accepting relegation stance. I see the argument of "we'll win more games" banded around and I'm not sure why people are assuming that. Our record against lower league opposition whilst we've been a Championship side is been absolutely rotten, who's to say we do well with a smaller budget against them? Agree with Nowhereman that we could easily find ourselves fighting relegation to the Lowland League. And to pick up briefly on the point made by OKI about remaining in business - that becomes a hell of a lot easier when you're raking in over £100K in prize money, so yeah, I'll accpet being a bottom half Championship team for the next 5 years over winning the Irn Bru Cup - I'm going to have a great day next Saturday regardless of the result and our stay in the Championship has given me some of my best days supporting the club. Always play at the highest level possible IMO. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
