Silverton End Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Here's another piece of the strip, jigsaw fans. Capture.JPG Wow. Man Utd or Real Madrid don't keep their global fanbase on these sort of 'new kit revealing' tenterhooks. 😎 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 128 years ago today, Renton FC became World Champions. Excellent. I have a wee replica medal thing that I acquired when my Grandpa passed away. Absolutely no idea where he got it and what it was given out for or if it has any value at all but it's extremely cool. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Wont let me edit my post to attach the picture... Looks like it's some sort of centenary type medal rather than a replica. Either way I was delighted when his vast medal collection that was left to me included that one. It clearly has nae value but it's a nice to have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 in case of any interest on the stripdebate http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Scottish_Football_League/Dumbarton/Dumbarton.htm I love that picture of the 1883 Scottish Cup winning side. How a team can look so casual but aggressive at the same time is beyond me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Just copied over from the Raith thread... In case any of you have been following the odds as closely as I have, then there's been some pretty dramatic movements over the last few hours. Aitken was 1/3 this time yesterday, then out slightly to 1/2 by the evening. He was the same price this morning, but recently went to 4/6 where he is now. Darren Young is drifiting around the 6 and 7/4 mark, but the biggest change has been on Danny Lennon. He was 8/1 last night. He was 8/1 this morning at about 11. He's now down to 2/1...Somebody must've put some dough on him, or something has happened or been heard. Now he's 11/10... http://www.mcbookie.com/sports/en/football-specials/manager-specials/coupons/982100/126456098/712930700/0/0/PE/0/0/0/0/0 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Richie Salveta leaves Head of YDI post - http://www.dumbartonfootballclub.com/news/?mode=view&id=2450 Didn't realise he'd been with us for as long as 9 seasons, seemed well liked at the club so a bit disappointing that he's moving on but good luck to him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boghead ranter Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 in case of any interest on the stripdebate http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Scottish_Football_League/Dumbarton/Dumbarton.htm Does anyone have a picture of our away strip from 1991/2...seem to remember it had red black and gold....was at the away game vs berwick in the LC round 1 at Shielfield...seemed a cracking top what i can remember of it Does this quote from the article you linked to answer that? In 1993 the club adopted Diadora as their kit partner but their appears to have been a mix up and for several games the team played in gold and red shirts until the correct ones were delivered. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sons FC Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I've never understood why Renton get all the kudos for being 'world champions' when by the same criteria Dumbarton were world champions in 1883 When the Sons played West Brom in 1988 it was to celebrate the centenary of the match between Renton (the Scottish Cup winners) and West Brom (the FA Cup winners). Renton won the 1888 match and were crowned, not only British Champions but World Champions as well. So, when Dumbarton beat West Brom 2-1 we retained the trophy and presumably, the title. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howlin' Wilf Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I've never understood why Renton get all the kudos for being 'world champions' when by the same criteria Dumbarton were world champions in 1883 I think it was the pre match billing. Dumbarton (Scottish Cup Winners) beat Blackburn Olympic (FA Cup Winners) 6-1 at Boghead for the 'Championship of Britain' Renton's victory, also in an unnoficial match, was at a time when Scottish clubs had been banned from competing in the FA cup. It was at a neutral venue, Cathkin Braes (or Hampden as it was called at the time) and was billed as 'Championship of Britain and the World'. I remember Sons playing WBA in a centenary of Renton's triumph - a pre season friendly. Gordon Mills, by that time 26 and who had been a top junior striker was a trialist for Sons that day. He was about two years younger than me and both he and his older brother Archie were great Sons fans. We didn't sign him. Our loss was Auchinleck Talbot's gain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sons'r'us Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 (edited) It appears Stevie Aitken being the clear front runner for Raith job have been exaggerated. http://m.fifetoday.co.uk/sport/football/quality-names-in-the-frame-for-raith-job-1-4132670#ixzz497P0yRSB Edited to add didn't see the link posted earlier in thread.

KierenAAFC Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Jordan Kirkpatrick ... Thoughts? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Jordan Kirkpatrick ... Thoughts? There is a player in there and he went through a very good 6 month spell with us a couple of seasons back. Unfortunately he's looked a bit off since then, got a bad injury against Rangers and never really looked the same. If he gets himself a bit fitter and applies himself he could be a very handy signing. Good luck to him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
