cameron2000 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 http://www.dumbartonreporter.co.uk/news/16240415.Dumbarton_FC_s_Stevie_Aitken___Sons_can_help_new_faces_make_step_up_/Quite a positive article this imo. Yes it means Barr isn’t 100% signed on but good news that Dowie is close to signing. I like that he seems to be targeting players who will perhaps be seen as youth prospects or fringe players at championship level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boghead ranter Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Who's all signing up for maintenance weekend then? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any excuse to get back to the stadium after six weeks or whatever is a good one. The fact that we don't have to watch any football comes as an added bonus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PWL Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 For those of a certain vintage.

My biggest memory of him is that in Alex Wright's testimonial*, when Fergie brought up a pretty-much first team squad, McNair not only decided to pick up mark Hughes, tried to play the hard man with him. Hughes not only played round him with ease, but also took every chance to show him what a hard man was actually like, and ragged him about like an empty tracksuit. *the other vivid memory was that the game was the first ever outing for Peter Schmeichel, who in the flesh was fecking massive. we got a penalty, which Schmeichel not only saved, he punched the penalty out for a throw-in. He also set up a quick Utd counter-attack at one point by THROWING the ball from his area into our half. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other thing i remember about Schmeichel playing was that the papers next day were full of criticism of Jim Leighton. It was reported as a complete embarrassment for him that he should be dropped for some Danish 'nobody'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember the argy bargy was between Hughes and Dougie Mckraken ????Lamont quickly subbed DM to stop ww3 exploding.Also CM took the penalty that PS saved IIRC. But aye,that throw by PS was virtually the entire length of the pitch which led to mark robbins scoring the opening goal.Most surreal game of football i have ever witnessed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Good to see big Stan at S1 Autos offering up discounts to season ticket holders - http://www.dumbartonfootballclub.com/news/?mode=view&id=3621 He's a good guy and I'd encourage any season ticket holders to take advantage of his offer (especially if we start scoring some goals next season - he might need to rethink that offer!). Hopefully see more of these discounts on offer over the coming weeks, so get your season ticket bought and be ready to take advantage! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully a few more business will see the benefit and do something similar. In fact, if you know any direct them to Alan Findlay at afindlay@dumbartonfc.com Hopefully some positive signing news to tomorrow...... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It surely can't be £5.00 off for every goal we score at home next season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
