Fellow managers, I tried my best. Almost. As good as could be expected anyway. Bottom of Div 3 against, possibly, the best team in SESL. What chance of a draw, let alone a win. Exactly! So I sent the lads out to stall all the way. Not the top 11, but not far off it. Against SM who are on fire and playing 2 WGs and a FW on aggressive. These 3 guys had SL higher than any of my team before the aggression kicked in!! Luckily SM went to stall at 5-0 or it could have been 6! If you think I could have avoided this scoreline please tell me how. If you agree with me, that I could do no more, please award me my lost two CP back.

Thanks, Colin. DUM

Brings a tear to a glass eye that does, not your appeal, I was reading the match report.

Tell you what mate, SM as you say seemed to try a little too hard in this encounter seeing as your pish and all. But in defence of Jackie, she seems to be playing the 'Bag points early NOW!' tactic in this seasons SESL CUP campaign. So no offense, but your T11 all on aggressive against Saints reserves would have ended in a heavy defeat so you were farting against thunder anyway.

Back to the matter in hand... Dumbarton's appeal to reverse the penalties incurred as a result of their Blow-out to Saint Mirren.

I'm no expert on SESL, or anything actualy (except BOLD, that is my department! No one knows BOLD like I know BOLD), but I don't think 5-0 is a bold-out sorry, blow-out. But if it is, MONTROSE would like to take this opportunity to add their name to the already growing list of managers taking up the Dumbarton cause, so that's ... erm ... well ... you and me then ...

But hey! you'll do the same for me on Saturday night, when we play Gretna, who seem to have been saving themselves for their Cup clash with Montrose! to nil.

Good luck in your appeal

Is DUM being dumb?

Or trying to scam 2CP for free?

Blow out is for a 6 goal defecit and not 5.

Also penalty is 120k and not 2 CP. Check DUM's account. Then check ROS's account - they lost 6-0 to SM earlier this season.

Oopps! Thought it was 5. Thanks for the update lads and the support from MON. Hey, you're dolly too!!



So, who stole my 2 CP then...?

Call off the search for culprits. CP back to an acceptable level. Who ever stolen 'em put 'em back. No harm done
