If Alloa win promotion this coming season I reckon Dumbarton deserve a commission. It's good to see that ex. Dumbartonians are in demand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point but I'm sure Megginson has left and moved back to Aberdeen. Fully expect him to sign for Peterhead or another team up that way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megginson has left Alloa, but it did make me think they would be a good team to loan the Don to with so many familiar faces and they are building to push for the title.

DumbartonTheSons Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Megginson has left Alloa, but it did make me think they would be a good team to loan the Don to with so many familiar faces and they are building to push for the title. I think a League Two or lower-end League One side would suit, if we were to be considering such an arrangement. It'd be better somewhere where he's almost guaranteed starts in games, whereas I'm not sure he'd be in that position at Alloa. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
son of a bankie Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 It's a wee while until sign on Tuesday. So I thought folk could recall first game as a sons fan. My own is easy 4 1 friendly win against my local team Clydebank. Only four seasons ago but had a great time and season ticket bought for this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 (edited) Absolutely no idea when it was, but my first memory is a 2-1 (iirc) defeat to Stenhousemuir. They scored fairly late on I think and the fury from it still lives with me. I think our kit was fairly yellow, and it was at the Rock, but that's all I can remember other than the score and the opponents. Edit: A quick check on SonsArchive would suggest it was 1-0 with an injury time goal http://sonsarchive.com/matchdetails.php?id=3881 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/scot_div_1/3140958.stm Edited June 4, 2016 by Sonsteam of 08 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

optimistic Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 I remember it being at boghead, Celtic I think, (maybe rangers), 3-3, or maybe just beat 3-4, stand opposite the pie stall, and I remember being shit scared, the place was packing, and to make things even more frightening, it was my first memory of changing ends, walking behind the loos opposite the main stand, seeing a load of men lined up, pissin against the wall, whilst squeezing past hundreds of opposition fans, christ knows what year that was 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs game time no doubt, but the quality of game time is also a factor. Would he be as effective or develop as much in a team who struggle to keep possession or play long balls? A team playing the ball on the deck, building attacks would benefit him greatly and the little I saw of Alloa under Ross, that's what they where doing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the snudge Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 I think mines was 1993/94. It was definitely a defeat to Dunfermline at Boghead, and I'm positive Jackie McNamara was playing for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My own is easy 4 1 friendly win against my local team Clydebank. Only four seasons ago but had a great time and season ticket bought for this season. My own one is a cracker, and I doubt if anyone can top it. The league cup semi final tie v Celtic at Hampden in 1970. Celtic had appeared in their second European Cup final, months before. Dumbarton were mid table in the second division. The game was 0-0 AET. The story of the replay has been told many times but briefly it was 2-0 for Celtic very quickly and that was the score at ht. it was 2-2 at ft, 4-2 at first half et and 4-3 at full time AETo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C'mon_the_Sons Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Monday, 5th April 1999 is the first game I can remember. Dumbarton 6, Cowdenbeath 1 was the final score. Cowdenbeath were rank rotten that day and the Sons fans actually cheered when Cowdenbeath scored! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Alloa win promotion this coming season I reckon Dumbarton deserve a commission. It's good to see that ex. Dumbartonians are in demand. Holmes and Cawley have about 300 appearances for Alloa between them, you can forget any commission! Mitch was a Wasp before he was a Son too. We'll call the rest payback for all the ex Wasps you've had in recent seasons, Ewings, Agnew, Gilhaney, Prunty, Lister, Cawley, Docherty. Don't think we'd be the right place for McCallum, as a few have already stated. We have Longworth and Spence and two young strikers in Layne and Hynd staking a claim too, with the option of Cawley up top also if required. McCallum better off somewhere where he's likely to play every week. Edited June 4, 2016 by Waspie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aw the best for next season, if Ross can reproduce the attacking football that we witnessed in his time as assistant here it should be a hell of season for you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
microdave Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 My first game was 12th May 1984. It was the last game of the promotion to the Premier season and we lost 3-0 to Ayr United at Boghead. Tommy Coyle was sent off that day too. I loved the idea is of watching a game in the flesh and been pretty much hooked on it since then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
