What could wrong?

Woke up this morning feeling on the Top of the world,although I’ve got to admit Everest is some climb😲My favourites were at home to bottom club Dumbarton,I was being chauffeured by Tony Cottam who has just had his Cataracts done and says he can see much better😎and was going to my first ever press conference at the end of a blues game,exciting stuff eh!Got to the ground with a detour of Port Wullie,used to me some great pubs there,sadly no longer about,I just loved the Eagle.I digress,and took in the bar at the opposite side from the Stand and was full of Dumbarton fans,so couldn’t really get an intelligent conversation🤬Liked the look of Stranraer Manager Stephen Farrell team on paper,but sadly games aren’t played on paper.A sparse home support took their seats to watch the blues beat a team we always beat at Stair Pk,well nearly always.The first half was really poor and the Sons of the rock really should have been in front,a couple of decent chances going a begging.Got to half time,0-0 all to play for kicking into our favourite end.The half time draw came and went in fact 2 were drawn,no winners in my wee area so no holiday in Sandhead with the winnings,lucky them.I don’t gamble these days,caused me too many problems and kept on losing,which is probably a good idea to stop.The second half started the way the first half stopped,the blues just couldn’t string 2 passes together and it was no surprise when Ross Forbes smashed one into the net from about 20 yards giving Max Currie no chance.Although we hadn’t been in the game young star Kyle Turner should really have made it 1-1 but his shot flew over the bar and our chances flew out the window.Just when we were getting back into the game Andrew Macdonald,his Mum likes me to call him Andrew,got stupidly sent off for 2 shirt pulls in 3 minutes and I didn’t call him Andrew after that.The 2 final nails in the old coffin were put in by Dom Thomas and Ross Perry to make it 3 for the sons of the rock.As ever at the press conference our manager Faz was as honest as the days long and said ‘we didn’t deserve anything out of the game’and he was right.Sad to say too many had an off day and although the park wasn’t great,it had cut up pretty badly,and the players had a hard game at Gayfield,it was pretty poor.Although I’ve got to admit Dom Thomas is some talent and although one man doesn’t make a team,he does his best to make that cliche rubbish.But beat 3-0 or not I’m up to Brechin next Saturday to support the team,we have so many 6 pointers coming up it’s frightening.But if you listen to the Stranraer podcast on Thursday,Its no easy,I’ll be dissecting the game,whatever that means🤷‍♂️And finally to all Ladies out there,don’t date a Tennis player,Love means nothing to them😎🤷‍♂️

  1. No argument about your summing up of the game Brian, but the jokes are getting worse.
