I think we can accept that this wasn't a "tactical" postponement - but by the words of one of your own, it looks like it's off due to ineptitude on the part of Dumbarton FC.

So, game off - with 2.5 hours to go till kick off. And no groundsman there working on it. Somebody's at it

Dumbarton 1 Clyde 1 East Fife 2 Montrose 1 Falkirk 3 Forfar 0 Partick Thistle 1 Airdrieonians 2 Peterhead 2 Cove Rangers 2

So, is it possible that if Hearts and Thistle win their case at arbitration - the SFA could then expel both teams - in order to prevent Hearts taking their place in the Premier League? Don't know if Thistle would be dealt with more leniently if that were the case? A total shambles, caused by Wee Budgie IMO.

That's at least 4 or 5 ex-Clyde players in their team now 😮.

What's the problem with Colts teams? They won't be a threat. We beat Motherwell Colts 4-0 this season & Celtic Colts 3-1, with a team including our 50-year old manager. Take the money on offer from allowing them to share a pitch with us, & willingly accept the extra gate money from the delightful fans who will follow anything wearing their colours. The only problem I have with this proposal is it puts us back in the bottom tier again. 12-18-18 I say 😆.

2-0 👍.

If you let us keep the £80K, we'll give you a goal of a start - just to make it interesting .

Thanks.

What was the score tonight?

I totally disagree with both of you. IMO both players started out going for the ball. On his way to challenge for the ball Goody realised the Peterhead player was getting there first, and put his arms up to protect himself. No way was it "violent conduct". I can accept how it could be seen as endangering an opponent by the way Goody protected himself, and a definite yellow - or even a soft red, but in no way was it "violent conduct" , which as far as I'm aware involves intent to injure an opponent. In the report of the game on the Peterhead website, it even mentions that some Peterhead players thought it was an accident. If it had been a red for "dangerous play" would it only have been a 1 game suspension? If so I think it was a reasonable call to appeal, but can't say I'm surprised we got SFA .

Forget our performance in the 2 games you've seen us this season. You deservedly won both. With Rankin & Syvertsen still to come back from injury, and with our improvement in the 4 games since we last played you, I'm confident you'll see a totally different performance the next time you see us - and not just from Goodwillie either. We're looking up, not down.

Just goes to show how opinions differ. 1st Pen looked a shove in the back when I first saw it. Looked a bit softer in the highlights. Don't understand why it was a red instead of a yellow. I definitely wouldn't be happy about this decision if I was a Stranraer fan. 2nd Pen was a stonewall IMO. Their player swung an elbow that caught Grant on the face, inside the penalty area. Dangerous play. Definite penalty. Again a yellow. 3rd Pen was another absolute stonewaller, and that was a certain red - until they changed the rules in the summer. We also had a good shout for hand ball that wasn't given, before the 1st Pen, and a free-kick just outside the box was the correct decision when there was another claim for handball after the 2nd penalty. Overall, 3 penalties was about right out of the 5 potential penalties that could have been given. Other than that, I thought we played some excellent football , particulatly in the 1st half. Stranraer were poor, ad that's being kind.

Week 4 - Falkirk

I enjoyed that. First half hour was a bit of a non-event, but we took over after that. Much better performances from Howie, McNiff, Rumsby, McStay & Johnston. Smith did a power of running up front. Allison & Love were good. Lyon & Lamont too when they came on. McGee didn't have a lot to do, but looked pretty comfortable. Howie's attempt from 70 yards would have been up there with my top Clyde goal of all time if their keeper hadn't just managed to keep it out. And as for Danny running from the halfway line to back up Lamont's break, leading to the 3rd goal 😆. That would just have been the icing on the cake if he'd scored, instead of an o.g.
