    I don't know the area. If it was good enough for Pittodrie to be built on a dung heap then why not a cow field for Dumbarton. Only kidding. The powers that be need to exercise a bit more due diligence on these fly by night crooks who only at the end of the day have no real interest other than lining their own pockets.

    On a side note coming back from Boghead in 1982 as a young casual in my puma trainers faded jeans and fila tracksuit top i got my first real doing at the football.

    I'm sure some American will likely get involved with both Caley and Dumbarton.

    They reckon American investors will own most UK professional football clubs in the next 10 years.

    The away entrance at Boghead was in the most depressing part of town. Not the most mental by a long shot but definitely the most miserable. The people from there have no sense of humour. Silverton Ranchers, even Dumbarton folk canny go them

    I was only 8 at the time but as a member of the Boghead Youth Army (hated but rated) I feel you?re owed an apology after all these years.

    Sorry.

    Kevin McKenna (generally vilified by the hard of thinking) lends his support to the Sons (genitive plural apostrophe admitted because the idle shagbag Sibo has decided its best replaced by a question mark, the wonker) in todays (see above re missing apostrophe) Herald. Paywall averted.

    Apologies for all the parentheses.

    Grateful Kevin has taken the time to put Dumbartons plight to a wider audience but f*ck me, there?s many many inaccuracies in that article

    Would love to go through it with a red pen

    If anyone ever finds themselves in the town, I?d recommend you don?t visit that underpass. It?s just as bleak & smells just as much of pish & spew as every other underpass in Scotland. Even its most interesting feature, the old couple that used to live in it (The Smellies) have long since passed. Go up the castle instead

    There have been no offers to buy Inverness CT, and the deadline to submit an offer passed on the 6th March.

    Oh dear.

    It was never a merger in the first place. The Jags, admittedly suffering financial problems, were swallowed up by Caley, egged on by significant investment by Inverness and Nairn Enterprise, a business quango of the usual ego-tripping committee-sitters who gave not a **** about fitba and the loss of a club dear to many. My late brother-in-law and his Kingsmills-attending pals were lost to fitba as they weren?t fooled by the predatory machinations dressed up in Thatcherite business speak.
