optimistic Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Aye, but you scored two crackers in a match that really mattered on Saturday....and we have another match this Saturday that really matters.So I think we will be cautious in believing you won’t be a threat this weekend. Especially with our defence looking incapable of keeping a clean sheet... But normal service was resumed on Tuesday night, when we missed a barrowload of chances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roman_bairn Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 But normal service was resumed on Tuesday night, when we missed a barrowload of chances I suspect there may also have been a slight lack of match sharpness after the weekend celebrations. Understandably too!Think it may be a different matter this weekend when the mind is properly back on survival... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the snudge Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Great effort from Falkirk with community engagement. Take note Dumbarton. I know Falkirk are a bigger club than us but are you guys just that bit away from the old firm geographically or do you think it still negatively affects your crowds?

Guest Back Post Misses Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Very very tricky game this for us. 3 points and we are as good as safe IMO. Most important game of Hartley’s time in charge for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roman_bairn Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Was it no the challenge cup on Saturday? To be fair Shadwell, we have won it four times and been in three relatively recent major Cup finals. It may not mean that much to us but I don’t think Dumbarton have been in a Cup Final for over 120 years so I can understand why it means so much to them. Hope they win it too! ICT fans I suspect don’t care nearly as much either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They celebrated winning the Scottish Cup in the same way as someone would applaud a mediocre shot at golf out of politeness, so yes, they can get fucked in any cup competition forever.

Same as yourselves. Distance is never the issue with the decision to 'support' they c***s though. I'm sure you knew that anyway. Back to the real world, even though they have sold out the 2,000 allocation I doubt it will be that high in attendance for this section. Because they are free I'm sure youth clubs etc would just snap up what they can on the off the chance some of them actually want to go, with many going spare. Great initiative though. If you manage to even get a small percentage regularly wanting to come back it can only be a positve. Up to the playing and management staff to produce the goods on the park on saturday first and foremost though so that there is a decent level of entertainment to make them want to return.

I get genuinely pissed off when we lose in it compared to say, the league cup which we are not going to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The belching steam/smoke is truly hypnotic, on a clear day flames can be seen too. Common mistake. The steam and smoke aren’t really hypnotic, they are in fact a mild anaesthetic. We supporters have a higher tolerance than visitors.some of our players, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairney The Dinosaur Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Challenge cup is brilliant. If they would scrap the colt teams and include a few more teams perhaps from the Scandinavian leagues it would be perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I remember well enough when we beat St Mirren at Motherwell’s ground on a freezing cold monsoon of a day, it was a huge deal for both sides. We had the “big stand” behind the goal, and read the Buds their horoscope that day. Our wee mini-bus had Bill Leckie as a passenger that day, and fair play, he didn’t take the defeat well. Takes a decent supporter to show abject depression all the way home on an opposition supporters bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our failure when we have a bigger crowd also has to be taken into it for Dumbarton 13 minutes ago, Bairney The Dinosaur said: Challenge cup is brilliant.

Its lost its earlier appeal, generally most FFC fans I know only get up for it at the semis. I think they'd have been better adding the juniors and highland leave teams other than the welsh and Irish. A cup competition in Scotland with a handful of teams in other countries shows how tragic its got, never mind colt teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senor Bairn Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 The colts team nonsense puts me off the challenge cup tbh. If we ever get drawn against one I’d be boycotting it. I’d also hope we absolute scud them. No place for any colt sides in any senior league or cup. Also hope Dumbarton beat ICT due to the tragic scenes from their fans in the cup final.
