FifeSons Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 (edited) Some Stirling fans seem very riled by us, don’t they. Comments all over our social media posts about how horrible we are. ’Humdrumbarton’ who were ‘expected to walk it this season’ is a belter on our match pics on FB.

Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Those two Stirling goals are piss poor from us. Maybe instead of greetin’ about his own fans Farrell should be more concerned about sorting out how we defend set pieces. Why the f**k is our smallest defender marking Stirling’s tallest striker? Especially after what happened for the first goal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they put McNiff on him at one point, but why ever put Lynas on Thommo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were playing catch-up. This season was my first in over 50 years of watching Sons we've been top of the table for so many weeks. I'd wager it won't happen again in my lifetime. We were top for quite a while in 91/92. Iirc, we were 5 points clear (2 pts for a win) when Huntly knocked us out the cup on the last Saturday in January. We had a poor February and March where we only won 10 pts from 10 games before putting in a good return and returning to the summit and staying there. Eta, I've no idea how old you are, so you might not have been around to witness us being top of the league for a prolonged period.

Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 (edited) That is some incredibly dramatic intro music on those Stirling highlights. Edited to add: fair play to the guy who edits the highlights not including a single incident of all that diving, time wasting and cheating we were doing. At least he had the decency to include the 1st Stirling goal that came from a corner which was quite clearly a Sons goal kick.

I do see the last Dumbarton man stick a foot out towards it, but I don't see him actually touch it and I looked 4 times. I don't intend criticism of the editing, because I can understand why they didn't want a highlights package of 70% bookings and 30% play leading to goals or efforts on goal. No high foot incident to comment on. In fact no bookings at all. I only saw one foul in there which I presume resulted in one of our bookings. It's completely sanitised. All I can say about it, is that it's not often you see 4 goals and every one is a header. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was given as a corner because officials thought the ball skimmed off the head of the Dumbarton player who was challenging for the ball. But I’m not really arsed about debating marginal decisions. It was just a corner after all, not a penalty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Against us, a corner essentially is a penalty for Stirling. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
