Watching the play off final second leg between these two sides. Dumbarton 3-1 up at half time, 5-2 on aggregate.

 

Are you confident the Sons can make a better go of the First Division compared to their last effort at that level?

[Dandyjam]

Decent strike force Dumbarton have, Dargo and Prunty, would've been a good partnership at SPL level a few years back.

Airdrie - couldn't have happened to a nicer team.

Hopefully that Airdrie chairman cunt that was arsing around Belfast in a Rangers top when Linfield played Rangers the other week will have had a pleasant day.

They could maybe stretch to signing big Zander now after his release from English cracks Oldham.

Was away this weekend and only heard the result this morning... delighted!

 

Will be great for the town, with the lack of competition between the Old Firm next season, hopefully the Sons can reclaim a few glory hunters! I remember when Dumbarton beat Dundee United 1-0 back in 1995, last time they were in Division One - at school on Monday morning everyone was a Sons supporter! Didn't last for long though... the Arabs went on to put 8 and 6 goals past them later in the year!

 

Going to be really interesting to see how things develop next season. I'd expect them to go straight back down, but you never know! Victory at Capplielow would be enough for me!

The first Dons match I attended was against Dumbarton.

 

We annihilated them

I remember that Dumbarton did back to back relegations in 1995/96-1996/97. I didn't realise that when they were relegated from the First they actually won the their opening two matches and then proceed to win only one of the remaining 34. The manager at the time had a fair record - Played: 46. Won: 2. Drawn: 5. Lost: 39. A win percentage of 4%

Step forward havering, drunken halfwit Murdo Macleod

It was Jim Fallon actually. Murdo Macleod was in charge for their first two league games of that season, which they won.

Ah right, I take it all back, clearly there's a tactical mastermind behind the cunning havering imbecile disguise.

[Karl Fletcher]

Best ride I ever had was from a girl fae Dumbarton.

 

Absolutely sensational.

Lots of the kids in Dumbarton academy buzzing today because

1) they got promoted

2) they seen themselves on the telly when they watched it back

3) they think the SPL is the next step. They're already thinking about ground renovations to the rock.

Watching the game On Alba I was impressed and encouraged with the number of young Dumbarton fans at the game. Its always good to see youngsters choose to follow a team like Dumbarton instead of being Old Firm glory hunters (although you could argue some of the Dumbarton fans yesterday were probably doing a bit of glory hunting themselves!).
