I have a pal who played rugby at Portobello with Lewis Vaughan's dad. His name is....wait for it......Ray Vaughan!
Rave on!
How cool is that?
Wasn't Stevie Ray Vaughan, was it?

ok, but you have to keep Mrs Ranter and the 3 little Ranters amused for a week.
Surely all you'd need to do would be to send Grampa Fraser along to keep the other Ranters occupied?

I hope you're right, Jordo, I think 7 points would put it all beyond doubt though.
I don't think three or four points will be enough. Everyone at our end of the league will be scrapping like mad for every point they can get.
Hopefully by the time we get to play Falkirk and the Arabs, their respective positions in the top four will be decided and they can send out the kids for a run, giving us a chance to capitalise.

I'm sure everyone will be devastated to learn that Mark Brown is officially away.

All the best to him in his retirement. Goalkeeper to Policeman. The guy must have parking warden next up on his wishlist
Is that goalkeeper, or gaolkeeper?

I'm ok Rocky. How's yourself? Ages since I saw you posting.
Now while sane blokes like you and I ken that Dumbarton and Rangers shared the title for the inaugural Scottish Football League the young Gitane-smoking, Camus-reading, roll-neck sweater-wearing, Dundonain existentialist @The DAreckons a club only exists for as long as you, personally, remember.
And folk call me The Drunk?
Well, since I'm about a hundred and thirty twelve years old, I can remember that year (just!) - I actually have a cut-out from the Glasgow Herald with the table from that year, proudly displayed on the wall at work. We are top (alphabetically, I presume), you are a poor second.
If goal difference had been a deciding factor, you wouldn't have a half-title to claim!
Been mainly lurking in the Championship Forum of late, getting it tight from certain Hivs fans. Long story, too long to tell.

If we win on Saturday and Ayr don't, then all of what you have mentioned tonight will be completely invalid anyway
I'm delighted to say.....you were right.

I'd take your 2 extra points to our game in hand any day tbh.After your recent game at the Rock, I reserve the right to be not optimistic about our prospects in the next few weeks.
i take your point though... points in the bag are better than games in hand, usually.

Yup, I'd agree with that. We only need to finish above two teams, and this stops St Mirren's nice wee run of form.
But Ayr are just below us with a game in hand........

Just seen the score there. The greatest comeback since Lazarus!!!

What's the general consensus on the result tonight then?
I'm happy St Mirren aren't any closer and if either team had to win I think I'd have preferred it to be Raith in all honesty. If we beat them on Saturday it puts us back above them anyway.
My initial reaction to the final score line was F***. It would have been better if it had been a 0-0 draw. Raith were always going to get better under Hughes though, it's what he does.
I'm more concerned about Ayr overhauling us than Raith being above us. And don't forget the two late goals when we played Ayr. It could quite easily happen again this Saturday.
Not optimistic tonight.

VAUGHAN. IT'S CHRISTING VAUGHAN.
The amount of times I've seen people dropping the A is obscene. It really irks me too, for reasons I'm yet to full understand.
Also, no.
"Fully understand"

We now find ourselves only 2 points ahead of Ayr instead of the 5 it should be. Anyone else starting to feel the heat a little bit?
Not really.
Ayr could only score one goal against a Midfielder.
Raith couldn't score against a part-time team.
Sounds like it was a great game - not.

Not just amongst fans, amongst townspeople here in general. I well remember when a certain Italian-themed café opened in Glasgow Road there was a virtual queue of folk waiting for it to fail, and fail spectacularly to justify their own prejudices and warped sense of wisdom; I know because I had the misfortune to have my ear bent by several of them. About five years on the café seems to be prospering.
Is that the one that is right beside Greenhead Road?
If so, it's excellent.

Classic deflection technique used there.No, honestly, I've only ever been to Leith Walk, where I saw Meat Loaf in the Playhouse on his Neverland Express tour in1984. My honeymoon was in Morningside for two days (I was actually skint in 1985) and the only other times I was in Embra was when Tutenkhamen's tomb was displayed in 1986 or thereabouts- and I was in Waverly Station in 2016 on my return from La Republica Dominica (not skint nowadays!!).
Would struggle to point out Easter Road on a map.
And as I've intimated before, TR jnr is 27, not 7 and is a Jungle Jim. Like yourself, IIRC from a previous rambling of yours

I leave my 27 year old son at home and go on the lash in Leith before Hibs games, if you believe the Hibs fans.
Even though I've never been to Leith in my life.

Think he would need to spend another year as manager off Dumbarton in the Championship before anyone took note.
Well, Raith did take note earlier this season, but they opted for the great Gary Locke instead!!!
Agree with you on the fact that he probably needs another season at Championship level to prove himself, not necessarily with us though.

For my mind, I don't understand why you can't have a walk-up gate. ..........
........Then have a walk-up gate on the day. It would at least increase the mere possibility of a better gate, because it certainly prevents its possibility by having the structure that's in place just now.
The only niggling doubt I'd have about that would be that the club might sell less tickets, then get the walk-up gate swamped between 2.45 and 3pm.
If you know there's a walk-up gate would your preference not be to walk up rather than try to jump through hoops to get a ticket at the club's convenience? Just a thought.

BBPF will be on his way to the borders as we speak... assuming that's where Mid-Annandale is.
According to that article, he played for Livingstone, wherever that is!

So the manager is responsible for poor results,and receives no credit for good ones?
Can I refer you to DumbartontheSons' post about an hour ago?
The words "credit where credit's due" nullify your comment/question.

I've noticed Nade is wearing #72 (because his lucky #27 was taken), is that the highest number ever worn by a DFC player?
72's my seat number, and of course, when we were founded ............s'ok, I've put my coat on.......

Sons' sorrow

Rankine did a similar thing. At one of the games I stewarded at during Clydebank's time at Boaghead, when asked how we (the Sons) were doing, his reply was "Dumbarton are winning 3-1". A real fan would've said "we" we're winning 3-1.
Wilson's no fan.
