You can't keep using Orsi and Ramsbottom as your examples if you're slagging all of our signings. They are two out of a whole new squad. And did Joe McKee not win league 1 with Morton? And look at you using words like moribund trying to rise above the rest of the junkies, hoose - breakers and catman worshipping minks over the watter.

Howlin' Wilf Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 This whirlwind of activity is positive and there seems to be a few decent track records amongst them. I was quite disappointed when Morgan Neil left but if it’s a choice between him and Gregor Buchanan then there’s no contest. it does point to an increased budget and that’s reassuring in the absence of any other word from the new owners. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geggan I'll give you as a player whose experience and attitude might prove extremely valuable, but you're chucking a mixed bag of signings into that column when it quite clearly doesn't apply to all or even most of them. Orsi and Ramsbottom are signings straight out of the Jim Duffy Dumbarton textbook, yet their value is now hilariously inflated because it's a different person in the dugout getting them to sign the contract this time round. No, the answer was 'a convicted sex pest'. Inflating values Gie yersel peace. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the answer was 'a convicted sex pest'. Ramsbottom was the biggest positive from Duffys signings last season. Some of the stops he pulled out the bag were great. One against Peterhead and a couple against Aberdeen spring to mind. Even Rabin Omar was okay, despite Mortin fans protestations. I'll give you the sex offenders argument, we really shouldn't be throwing that around. We've had a couple of wrong uns 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we've seen over the last two weeks has been a positivity and sense of purpose that's been lacking for a few years. How much is down to the new management team or the new owners is anyone's guess. I'd hazard by the 2 yr deals that the new owners have put their hands in pockets to some extent. However, the signings have been of a realistic and sensible nature for our position. Definitely not Gretna style nonsense. Season ticket has been purchased with a sense of optimism as opposed to duty this year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sons Fan Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 We haven’t heard much from the new owners and yes they should likely say more but also have Sons TV/Our Social media team spoken to them/the board and said we want to do a piece on the new owners? On another note, if it’s done right, I hope we do move. I know it might be an unpopular opinion but the only positive of the current ground is we are beside the Rock. The stadium, pitch, lights all need work. We sit in the shade for the whole year and there is no room to expand. I know youngs farm has problems but if they could be fixed and we get a new stadium and training facilities that don’t mean we are saddled with debt I am up for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lorenzo71 Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Has anyone heard what Jamie Wilson is doing? Is he indeed on trial at Falkirk or another club.?I wonder if he had stayed in our current set up he might be more prolific. I also wonder if he might regret turning us down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference being that Stevie Farrell has made good signings elsewhere where as Duffy would have filled the squad with absolute dung from the exit trials. Orsi and Ramsbottom would be fucking marquee signings under Duffy. Complimenting the squad with a couple of guys who couldn’t make the grade at Morton is completely fine, when it becomes quite literally your only tactic then there’s issues. Whether you rate the players we are signing or not, we have been starved of a manager approaching a transfer window with a clear, concise plan and executing said plan swiftly for 2 and a half years. Naturally fans will be excited. I’m pretty excited myself. We aren’t signing world beaters but it’s a hell of a lot better than what we’ve been subjected to in recent years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s turned us down for a trial at Falkirk. I’m led to believe he had a deal lined up there until Sheerin was appointed, who subsequently cancelled said deal and said he could train with them. He’s quite literally turned us down for a sympathy trial. Its a daft move IMHO, not that I’m particularly arsed, there’s far better out there and for me he should’ve only ever have been retained as backup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, this is understandable. I had actually been looking at your squad prior to the confirmations of Ramsbottom, Buchanan and Orsi and thinking how relieved Dumbarton fans must be that regardless of specific thoughts on individuals, you had a manager recruiting the core of a squad a month before the season starts and giving them a proper pre-season together. The difference that makes after Duffy's approach of condemning you to four pumpings with complete jobbers in the League Cup before scrambling to sign half a dozen players in the last couple of days before the league starts must be great. However, it also entirely understandable for lots of fans of another clubs to be on a thread giving their thoughts when a club announces five of their ex-players in three days, particularly considering the criticism of your previous manager for his dependence on signing ex-players of that club. Dumbarton fans are obviously entitled to disregard opinions on those players as complete bollocks if they wish, particularly when you've seen more of McKee and Ramsbottom than we have since they left us, but that kind of interaction is the whole point of P&B. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I'm quite happy for fans of other clubs to tell us what they think of our signings, I do the same on other threads. VT is suggesting we'd have assembled a similar squad under Duffy though which is obvious horseshit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I really don’t fancy Kris Doolan at all, 4 league goals in the last 2 years and he’s 34 now, it’s a major no thanks from me. I think Farrell may go down the loan route for a striker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
