sons'r'us Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I just hope there's no undue pressure put on him from Raith after today. I actually didn't realise he'd still be training with them. That is a strange situation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No_Problemo Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Being perfectly honest if I was John Hughes I would be finding a way round it, such as encouraging the physio to find an injury to Vaughan. Wouldn't be too bothered about sporting integrity etc to be honest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually didn't realise he'd still be training with them. That is a strange situation. He is a full time footballer on loan at a part time club. He will still train with them at least two days a week. That was one of the main reasons Celtic wanted to move Joe Thomson to a full time loan so he was with one ckub all the time instead of having to try to work other days with Celtic when their schedule wasnt necessarily ideal for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumbarton still have other decent players to play if it was to happen anyway so don't imagine it would make much of a difference! Not that it will as of course it would be a pretty shocking course of action. However if Raith get increasingly more desperate.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't mean anything strange about training with your parent club. I was implying the fact he needs to go train with them after helping us go above them in the league. It's probably never happened before as no club would be so stupid as to let a good player go out on loan to their rivals. Gary Locke eh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 We should let Vaughan remain on loan. Can't blame the lad at all. It's completely ridiculous that Locke thought it was a good idea, and even worse our board didn't stop it. He's a class wee player, and if we do go down he'll run rings around players. Utterly ridiculous season we've had. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comes to us and scores the winning goal today and an important goal in an away draw at Falkirk. Not sure he wouldn't have "made much difference" come the end of the season, otherwise there'd be no reason for Raith to recall him as you are suggesting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sons Fan Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 The Vaughan loan has to be one of the best bits of business the club has done in years. Think the players deserve a lot of credit for yesterday's result but also think the manager got his tactics spot on and he should get a lot of credit for that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordo1872 Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 With Raith in freefall and Ayr shambolic against anyone other than us I'm confident that we're only one win from safety. St Mirren next week will be tough, but I'm confident with our remaining fixtures we can do enough. Yesterday's win was massive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 There are actually folk on the facebook page still having a go at Aitken. If we can get 7 more points (draw next week, beat Pars and Falkirk at home) I think that will see us right. One game at a time though and next week is massive, we can't turn in another abject away performance, St Mirren will spank us if we do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually flabbergasted by some of the Aitken comments on FB. These folk are clearly on a different planet from the rest of us. Aitken has done an excellent job and whether there were some raised expectations with a couple of the season's Murray had, you only have to look at the previous 30 years to know we've got a good manager just now. I do remember some of this nonsense in the days pre social media where folk vocally defended rogues such as Jim Fallon and Neil Rankine. You obviously see it more now due to social media but the lunatics have always been there.[emoji6] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry SD but it wasn't Celtic that wanted to move the player on it was both the player and his agent. Celtic were keen for Joe to stay at Dumbarton the full season just like Lindsay & Watters the previous season [emoji3] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be lovely, but not necessary. Another win would give us a four point lead on Raith and a six point lead on Ayr, arguably 7 given goal difference. With 5 games left I think that's too big a gap for both. Raiths remaining fixtures are Pars, Morton, Hibs, St Mirren and Ayr. With Raith and Ayr meeting on the last day that's one less game where both can take maximum points. Raith could also be going to easter road on their title day. Maybe im being over optimistic, but we beat that mob from the wrong side of the Clyde yeasterday and the suns oot. Life's on the up.

That clown who's constantly on the Facebook page is an absolute minter. Best ignored IMO, he clearly has zero clue about football and he thinks anyone who defends Aitken is some sort of happy clapper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
