Biggest minter since we were unable to pack the correct strip away to Stenhousemuir. #MintersAreUs #LostRevenueMinters 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duffy said in the local paper he didn't believe in fielding a load of trialists in a friendly to make up the numbers, Dunfermline might have brought a few fans last night, 150-200? & this Saturday Dundee United will maybe travel with a crowd, with it being a weekend. Money, however small we can ill afford to lose tbh. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_bully_wee Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 I didn't think Duffy could do any worse on SSB than when he said his Clyde team couldn't make the promotion play-offs while about six points off fourth place in January one season, but if what's being said is accurate then that is genuinely astounding. He could at least be honest about the current state of affairs, which I'm assuming is that there's hardly any budget available to him and he's waiting for players without a club later in pre-season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what they say about those who assume... Anyway, I got the opportunity to be miserable about DFC on a podcast again today, so if you want my "good voice for radio" (Uni feedback from first year) piped into your ears for a few minutes, then fire in. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallochSonsFan Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 (edited) I suspect both Duffy and the club regret that he's stayed on as manager. It may well have been better for both if we'd thanked him for his efforts in keeping us up and wished him on his merry way. He needs to show that he's committed to Dumbarton and start making things happen or walk away and let the board try to bring somebody in who'll at least build a team for us to watch. Right now I'd accept us signing the entire exit trial list if it meant we actually had a team to start the season with. If Duffy isnt 100% committed and is phoning it in then at least be honest with us and let the club try to move forward. My boss is an assistant at a Div 2 junior side and even they have better plans for recruitment right now.

Everything he's said and done in the last couple of months reeks of a man working his ticket and just continuing in the job because there's no better opportunity available to him. That just makes it even more bizarre that you've shed so many of your better players from last season and brought in junior/Lowland jobbers. I do not understand the man, not one bit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
