Quality comment on this week's Scottish Football Briefing email from The Scotsman.
Third Division
All go down at the Rock with Ryan Russell arriving from Morton and Robert Campbell joining up from Kilmarnock. It's the best move you'll ever make lads. There's nothing quite like the sensation of 1000 Sons fans instantly turning against you when you make the slightest mistake.
If the writer hadn't already revealed himself to be a Dumbarton fan over the course of his weekly ramblings last season then this paragraph would have instantly revealed to all in the know that he was a true Son of the Rock.
Only a true Dumbarton fan can really appreciate these sentiments. I have been a member of a DFC mailing list for a number of years now and the activity levels on it are very telling. On the rare occasions where Dumbarton are having success on the park the mailing list becomes as quiet as a grave, when things are going wrong the list is a lively as a box of hyperactive midgets on speed. Its official - Dumbarton fans are nothing but a bunch of moaning gets who are never happier than when they are wallowing in the mire of misplaced enthusiasm, thwarted ambition and seemingly interminable underachievement.
I wouldn't change them for the world though...

Does he mean us? yep! he surely does. One of the players to come in for the strongest criticism last season was Stephen Grindlay the goalkeeper who has now signed for Queen of the South. I have no doubts that Stephen will perform well at fisrt division level.
BTW the lad Ryan Russell who has signed from Morton lives not far from me.
With a name like that he's bound to be good.
