My fuzzy memory was that Bill Lamont got sacked not long after, he certainly got absolute pelters from the home support and was looking haggard after that result. All the players mentioned bar McDonald were involved IIRC, and Marty Allan ran the show. Time flies BL was under serious pressure that year but he was unlucky with injuries.He won us the league in 92 and kept us up. Murdo replaced him in 1993. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that not a replay, with Dougie McCracken having broken his leg at Links Park ? Aye, Martin Allan, Scotland's answer to Franco Causio. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes was a replay, sure the Links Park original tie was goal-less. "Snowy" Morrison was the only Dumbarton player who looked any good in the replay. Bill Lamont rarely was out of a job in the 80s but think that was his last managerial gig. Remember Dumbarton comfortably winning the league the following season.

Jan Vojáček Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Fair play to the P&Ber spending his valuable time explaining why it might be nice to donate some money to the club Mr Caaaarmmmaaaannn follows around the country every week. Thank God more people don't have his attitude or we'd have been sunk a long time ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Lamont managed Alloa after he left us in 93. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was latched onto by the Boghead boo boys, who were desperately seeking a replacement player to abuse, as we didn't have anyone called Coyle in the team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame, however there was always at least one player who was given the treatment, the Clyde boo boys were probably just as bad. However Snowy was a big favourite during our 2nd Division title winning season in 1992-1993, and in fact scored a piledriver on Championship day down at Dumfries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Vojáček Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Some of you might've caught my interview with Neill Collins on Lanarkshire Live at the weekend, or focused on his time at the Rock in this week's Lennox. If you're stuck somewhere you can't buy a Lennox (or are locked down) then it's now up online. I really can't tell you enough how much I enjoyed speaking to him. We ended up chatting for a good 45 minutes last month and there's a whole host of good stuff that I had to leave out unfortunately. But it might make an appearance one day when I need to fill some space. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/local-news/former-dumbarton-star-neill-collins-21958951 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll never forget the sea of limbs that went up when he pulled his shorts down. I miss the Pellie that pushed the boundaries a bit, the sort of entertainment you need in the lower leagues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Quite enjoyed the whole player of the year awards thingy, fair play to all involved. God bless wee Joe McKee, an injustice he left empty handed IMHO. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
microdave Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 I'm a wee bit disappointed Joe didn't get anything. Maybe he'll stay another season to right a wrong. The bit with Jim Duffy sounded like he's got no intention of going anywhere which I'm fairly happy with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
