Hamilton Academical 3-3 Dumbarton
Posted in Dumbarton FC at 12:00 on 3 February 2014
SPFL Tier 2, New Douglas Park, 1/2/14
I’d have taken this before the game. I’ll take it even more after we went 3-2 down with two minutes to go. But up popped Chris Kane with the equaliser a minute later.
I “watched” this on the videoprinter from about 4.30. I hadn’t felt up to the trip across.
From the report on Sportscene Results it sounded like Stephen Grindlay had twice spilled the ball to lead to Accies goals.
But not much damage done; only one place lost.
Amazingly we are now the outright top goalscorers in the Division, two better off than Dundee. Our defensive record is the third worst though.
Big week now. Home to Livingston on Wednesday then a chance to reach a Cup quarter-final at Alloa on Saturday. I’m not expecting that game to be a 5-1 away win again.

I’ve tried to get interested in sports. My thinking, ho-ho, was, Why, here’s a whole new world of jolly play, engrossing to the emotions and to the intellect as well. But no dice. Today, the day after having watched–just looked at from the corner of my bloodshot eyes, really–the Super Bowl, I seem to remember that a certain team–a football team, as it was–won a game by a certain score. I dined off a slice of pizza. Snore, zork.
Your pal and ally,

Each to his or her own, Denis.
The good lady could see sports far enough; but she puts up with my enthusiasm for the mighty Sons of the Rock.

Sorry, no intention to high-hat something that it’s my own fault for not catching on to.
I wonder if my almost total lack of athletic talent might have had a wet-blanket effect. Sometimes I daydream ruefully about connecting with a pitched baseball with a really satisfying thwack, or about hitting a golf ball without topping it.
I gotta stop whining, Jack.
Sooner rather than later the family here (including my Glaswegian son-in-law) will be visiting Glasgow for a family reunion. Maybe we can “do lunch.”

Lunch sounds good, Denis.
I’m not too familiar with Glasgow eateries, however.
