OKsons2020

Hope we're discussing 3 points this Saturday and remainder of our season kicking on in order to makesure we don't fall short of the playoffs. I think everyone us going to come out the traps flying at us . Going to be a bumpy ride

My worry is ...how are we going to attract anyone decent should we fail to reach the play offs. Some of this current crop are of better caliber than what's out there . Fair to say some are here because they were assured title contenders and promotion . Were going to struggle big time . Could remain in league 2 for a while

I am highly offended and therefore wanting a statement from P&B rapid. Lmao haha cock . Anyways time to move on as its wasted more time than its actually worth .

There were shouts for Farrel to quit , walk, usual disgruntled comments followed by a shout for a change and bring on a particular player , which was then followed by " is said player shagging your wife , what has he done wrong " or words to that effect . That was the comment in its entirety . Iv been given more abuse at the breakfast table . Personally I think it's gone way over the top and has now created a smoke screen for how poor Saturdays result was . What happened to sticks n stones , sure if it were the big two and everytime there was something aimed at the managers ..they're would be empty stadiums . But because we're in such a small number it's easy to pin point folk and put blame. Again we are living in the time of snowflake generation. On the park , we're maybe about to see a team fight for their lives and watch the great escape........ failing that it could be far worse and keep sinking. There are players in there , we need to go back to the style of play we witnessed at the beginning of the season .

I heard the comment in its entirety and it did cross a boundary. I don't think it will be the end of the matter either as I'm sure farrel and Co know exactly where it had come from . Not the first time either so I'm pretty confident there will be more action taken. Don't think it was ment with any real Conviction but I think it was regretted immediately giving the drama which un folded soon after.

Firstly I'd like to address the youth development situation and future prospects. ... up the road at cbank they have a youth programme for 5 Yr old, all the way to first team in the way of an academy. Not bad for a junior team . Not only do they have Holme park shared with yoker along with WDC , there are plans to develop the playing pitches further at mountblow and making it a cbank academy facility . Why these Avenues are not being explored and if they are ,why don't we know about this.....? Holm Park is 4g and fully booked 24/7 bringing in revenue constantly and constantly. We're all on board apart from a minority ...we need a 4g pitch where we can train , rent out to community teams and host grassroots fixtures enticing younger generations to be inspired playing in Dumbarton Fc . It pains me to say it but I have a fixture this weekend against our rivals at ochilview stadium at grass roots level and they , along with our team have an academy set up. Theirs being superior and pro youth . But the attraction for the younger playing in the stadium ,whilst the revenue is being fed back up the ladder Secondly if your still reading .... and thank you lol . I mentioned at the beginning of farrells tenure ....he was full of this and that however failed to deliver on all aspects . If we don't go up this year then he has to walk . How he's made it this far , were all amused . Again he's a union man , should be a politician as they a talk shite! Blair malcolm / lennon / pignatello over Lynas ... do not understand at all . Baffles me . Findlay on the bench .....? Bizarre Sooner we get rid of that dead beat farrel the better ..... yes he's tied himself up in a contract ....also said that would happen as he's a fraud ..... but a good one at it . Thats my 2 bits worth . Not here to offend or fall out with anyone but we're nosing diving quicker than the HMS ........

Today's game....... Gonna be the first to throw myself amongst the wolves .....need a goal scorer ASAP. Had we taken our chances in the first half we would have run away with tht game . However life's not so simple. Not going to finish this on a negative post so here goes my bit.... buchanan was very disrespectful towards his ,not just previous club ,but club he captained at . Absolute shitehousary from him. Captain silent . Couldn't rally a hard on in a brothel when he was with us . Today he was shouting fir everything, cards fouls and encouragement for his mediocre team then his reaction when they scored. Just shows for some it's nothing but a pay packet ... Finally ...... Our boys kept it going until the end and showed team spirit until the final whistle. Nothings won in December and we've will a long way to go. Time to get on those long journeys around the country and rally behind the team being the 12th man ....

Personally my opinion for what it's worth .... We could have lost today by a fair few goals . BOD were un lucky not to sink us by a few However our ability to dig in and see it all the way through. Not like us TBH . We're ofter on the receiving end . We stuck with it . Not convinced lynas for orsi was the correct change as I think carlo should have been the player retiring. All credit though orsi seemed to galvanise the right hand side and he carried carlo . Both linked up well . The end result wasn't due to a tactical mastermind of farrel but one of team spirit and that's a massive boost for us all. Previously iv been critical however experience has served well and regardless of opinions towards the management ......we need to keep going for our players as it effects them also. Kicking a man whilst he's down isn't going to turn things round I our favour. Let's get behind them . It's not even Christmas....

Disappointed today with another gsme we should be taking maximum points. Matty shiels is a good addition and happy with that piece of business . Didn't agree with aron lynas and Finlay being on the bench . Both players are key to the success of the team and featured last season with awards. Carlo didn't offer much today and don't see him as a starter ahead of lynas IMO . Maybe there were reasons for the changes and were yet to find out . Just think we should be sitting with 6 points by now,esp when going into the next couple fixtures where I'd expect to drop points. Early days of course

I think we held our own against Dundee Inverness and Airdrie The boys gave a good account of themselves and played positively IMO. A decent addition to the pre season these league Cup games. Were pressing teams and getting wide on the transition moving forward . Happy so far and looking forward to the first league game

Couldn't see it from the rammy in the box but a few folks said he hooked a player ..... time will tell

As far as im aware the council own holm park and rent it out to both Yoker and Clydebank. All use of the pitch and facilities are subject to a fee . To whom this goes to I'm not sure . Clydebank are infact in the process of trying to take over the community pitches at Mountblow for use of the Academy exclusively first and foremost and then subsequently revamp the whole facility. Another way to bring in more money for them. Something surely not right if we can't buy into this sort of plan ,saying that. Our problem lies with the owners and the council have their part to play in this.

I'd like to apologise to those previously offended. We're now moving on and progressing into 2023/24 So let's stick together and move forward . Aaron lynas has been a warrior and should be awarded the responsibility to lead our team as captain for the new season. Followed by our captain clean sheets "brent long " .

Possibly if that was the case ,unfortunately haven't had that pleasure for a couple years now . Gladly . I do recall ur all mouth and like to run it on here like a little pupet master

Agreed we need to allow those returning from injuring and fringe players. Plenty game time whilst keeping the eye on the prize . Surely we must stop conceding late on and close games out . We all want to see progression

Correct! Meaningless game aslong as we progress . Too many folk with skelfs sitting on the fence as always . Alsong as business is taken care of then your spot on .

Quite sure farrel will justify us loosing again today and throw up the smoke screen about playoffs. ...... We should still be shutting out and defeating bottom of the table opposition and get the momentum rolling into playoffs with our squad . Guys full of shit !!!!! Whats his excuse going to be if we fail to go up ? Agreed we don't need negativity towards our team ,esp now . I want us to rally together and get it done. However if we don't. He needs to go !

Feels a bit empty , chasing the consolation prize, however we mite not actually get the reward. Either way. Fraud is staying , he made sure he was ok . we need to rebuild for next season regardless now where our fate lies....move forward. The fans need to rally behind the players and each other . The dressing room may have gone , but together the players can bring it on . If they want it enough. Start of the season we played teams off the park with, one touch and passing along the deck . Were now punting the ball into no man's land and all were receiving is a grenade back in the face.

Hee haw to do with Sevco , take your blinkers off. We have no owners or structure to take us into the present . We're sharing a pitch purely based on revenue which we need. We need to be looking into progressing towards 4G . Less desirable and I get that but its going to keep games playable and revenue streaming in 7 days a week . Either that we get a facility of our own and lease it out and generate income . Which is a millioniles away from happening

Said that on day one when we signed him .......farrel. The dressing rooms gone but we need to keep it together for those we want to stick around

The title has gone , but playoffs are in our reach . However we have chasers on our tails ! The 1 and only supporters bus was reduced , still a good support make their own way each week , so let's include them. If there's ever a time to maximise the numbers it's now ! Let's smash it from here until league 1 . A couple players , dared to walk towards thr away support today and walked away , usual suspects Aaron lynas , Peter Grant . Atleast these guys wear their hearts in their sleeves and take the time for us. Not even the "so called captain " makes it over. LYNAS for captain !

Regardless of what has gone before now , and I admit I have been critical in the past and as a result took a period off of PAB forum . The league has gone , but now as I sit on the supporters bus which is now half empty . It is time for each and everyone of the fans to rally behind the team , regardless of personal opinions on management and players. We NEED to get behind the squad and make as much noise as we can until the last kick of the ball this season . There's players in there we want and need to retain for next season Regardless of where we end up !

I think it's beyond me , how we've let a 10 point lead slip ! last week we were nowhere to be seen from the start to end . Punt punt punt up the park . When we get the ball on the ground and play football we actually play really well and it's frustrating to see us revert back to long balls into nowhere . We have really good play from Lynas and orsi down the right linking up and over lapping , the speed of McLean and gray . We can do damage running at defences and stretching them wide but no leadership from Farrel or tactics . I think Carswell is playing his best football since loosing captaincy and reliable , however I think our heads go down too easily when we loose a goal and no real leadership rallying the team . Off the park ......Farrel won't be going anywhere soon , he survived last season and the board aren't interested one bit , I recon he will get until Christmas before they take note if its not too late . I think if we go out next Friday and loose and slip down the places though it could happen . I recon we have a decent team , so hopefully we can get someone in soon who brings the best out in them ...

First time in the last few years I haven't even bothered to keep up with what drivel is going down at the rock . Just checked and realised iv not missed much , not that I expected much considering stevie FRAUD is still there. No doubt the happy clap brigade are still waving flags and blowing whistles blowing smoke up farrells arse. The fact he's still incharge is a slap in every fans face. Whilst the clappers still stand by the disasters and refuse to take action the non existant owners will drive the club into extinction . Perhaps hitting prehistoric times like the bankies will project us back in the upwards direction, after all they are excelling and soon will push past us. They are miles beyond us In academy , development and talent management

I was speaking with one of our players who have decided to seek pastures new as he was informed he couldn't be guaranteed football and that he was down the pecking order for left back and that infact Greg 'has been stuck out in the Wylde 'was going to be first choice for left back this coming season due to his experience. Speaking in depth it appeared he was given a raw deal last season and didn't feature much . Good luck to the young lad and wished him all the best . Farrel hasn't got a clue , he should have gone down to the Renton football festival today for some coaching tips and recruitment .... I'm sure the 7/8 year old kids playing could fit right in to the Dumbarton team. Will not be renewing my season ticket while that FRAUD is at the helm .
