microdave Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 When was the last time two former Sons were on the pitch for Scotland at the same time?I reckon this will be it. That was the only time MacLeod and Sharp played together for Scotland. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Parr Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Great to see some of the lads who were with us through the Championship years now matured (or maturing) into top players. And I'd certainly include Chris Kane in that conversation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite possibly although there were a few capped players in the 19th century when we were one of the best teams in the country. I've got a book detailing all Scotland fixtures up to 2001 (I think). I'll dig it out and have a look when I get home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squeezebox-son Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Interesting to read that Jim Duffy may find himself in charge (temporarily) of Ayr United in the Championship. Funny way to go about it but to step up following what he done with us is good going... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Is there any reason that we seem to be the only business who are still not accepting contactless card payments? Every wee roll shop, pub, cafe or coffee shop in the town accepts contactless payments but I need to get cash out if I want a pie or a beer at the ground. Not the end of the world but it would be nice if we upgraded the services a wee bit, it can't be too cost heavy given the shops that offer the service. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure we offer that option when paying for something in the reception area so god knows why that can’t be arranged for the bar or the turnstiles. Most other businesses are encouraging people not to use cash at the minute. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Vojáček Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Real shame the attendance was only 469 today. That's incredibly poor for a Saturday 3pm kick off in decent weather, and after a good result up at Montrose. Hopefully the start to the season encourages a few more folk back along. I had hoped being locked out for a season might encourage some good turnouts. But that hasn't been the case at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot of folk were already apprehensive about all things COVID with returning to games. With the fact West Dunbartonshire has been near or at the top of the list for the the whole country for the last few weeks and the announcement of vaccine passports thus week I think a few will be staying away a while longer. Likewise with the supporters buses. I can't see them filling up until things are much more under control. Whether that is this season nobody even knows. It is very hard to distance on a bus/coach and you don't know how everyone else on the bus is behaving with regards to keeping themselves safe and subsequently everyone else who would be travelling with them.

There's a lot of truth in this, and we also need to assess the number of people who would normally be there who are currently streaming the games. I was never convinced that folk would be banging down the doors anyway, and especially at Dumbarton where the football over the last eighteen months or so has been pretty grim to watch. It also has to be said that after the initial announcement of the takeover in early May, there has been next to no meaningful communication since; in fact it's worse than that as people realise that it's the same speculative Brabco plan in a different wrapper. The best hope meantime is that the team can continue the so far very decent start to the league campaign and locals begin to get behind it by attending home games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Yip, its clear Faz had a job on his hands to entertain folk again. 5 zip wins will certainly do that. Hopefully folk in the town respond. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sons FC Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 It is also worth pointing out that last season (18 games) we scored 9 goals in total in the regular season, so far this season we have scored 13 in 6 games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I was thinking last night that I've now seen us beat East Fife 1-0, 2-0, 3-0, 4-0, 5-0 and 6-0. Think that's the only side I've seen us win by that variety of scorelines against. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
