Hank Scorpio Posted May 12, 2020 Author Share Posted May 12, 2020 But disapppibted with Joma to be honest. I can’t say I’ve ever been that impressed with any of their efforts. Indeed, some of the Dumbarton efforts have been stinking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, notice that from July there will be flexibility to bring folk back into work at least part time. So from then we can bring guys back into training and McGlynn can get on with signing players. Poses an interesting question as to when after that point do we start signing a squad up.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poses a few questions like that, but keeps the wolves from the door a bit longer - which is a relief. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I imagine most clubs will try and hold off until there is some sort of timetable for playing but the temptation for clubs to start a scramble for players will begin to mount... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Joma that's a bit of a blow. Have you seen some of the absolute shite they've given the likes of east fife and dumbarton, even the pars looks like a set of kits from a Sunday league catalogue Pars get two bespoke (non catalogue) kits as part if our deal - when we've had a third kit (the Norrie McCathie tribute kit, the Victoria Cross tribute kit etc.) two have been bespoke and one has been out the catalogue. Not sure if that is because we have a different deal (we are on the Joma website as Techincal Partners AFAIR rather than being supplied by them) or if Andrew Barrowman sorts us out or what. The quality hasn't been too bad - certainly better than the crap we got from Adidas when we had their catalogue stuff, even though the training gear etc. was really sharp. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading the article on our OS our home and away top will be bespoke which is a bonus I suppose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airdrie made it to the Scottish Cup Final that year, losing 1-0 to Celtic, same season we won the league cup. Not sure if that’s the only season where both national trophy finals have been contested by lower-league teams. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These videos have already made some of my memories look a bit silly, not least a couple of the goals I nominated the other week as being among the best Raith goals we've seen turned out to be somewhat less impressive. And that's from goals I actually did see replays of, at least at the time. That Rowbotham long-range fluke on a windy day at Dundee is one of those I've not seen since the moment it happened, I don't think. Don't remember it as being quite as far as the half-way line - maybe forty yards, but from right out on the wing. Going to be interesting to see it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beastie Russell Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Would love to see Rowbotham’s humdinger from the game against Hibs at Easter Road in 1993, one of the best games of football I’ve seen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wardy Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 @DanElderRRFC Do you have highlights from the 95/96 Premier season? It was my first season going to games with my dad. Don’t remember too many games so would be good to see some highlights of that season. I do remember Motherwell away and we won maybe 3-0/3-1. Jason Dair scoring a peach at the home end? Maybe wrong though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
