Just copying and pasting what I posted on P & B
-------------------------------
I managed to bullet through after my exam finishing yesterday afternoon to take in the game. Full credit to Dumbarton for their 1st half performance - they really should have been ahead at half time! :010: We opened the scoring with a very lucky goal. Denzil turned quickly in the box and his shot cannoned off about 4 Sons players past the helpless keeper.
Dumbarton scored a cracking equaliser. Not sure who scored it (apologies) but it looked like someone on the left side out sprinted our defender and lashed the ball across Browns goal into the net. Good wee finish. For the rest of the half ICT tried to get going but Dumbartons long ball game was catching us out. Many times our defence went to sleep and Dumbarton players found themselves with just Brown to beat. It was very uncomfortable viewing.
Into the 2nd half and the Sons appeared to tire a bit. Graham Bayne scored a goal that I can't even remember what it looked like. But he scored and the announcer seems to have dreamt up a quaint little nickname for him - Baynie (though in a Sneck accent its Beanie :015: ).
ICTs third goal came after slack play by Dumbarton at the back. Trying to bring the ball out of defence the Sons player was met by Liam Keogh who put in a solid challenge to win the ball which ricocheted into the path of Rory MacAllister who lofted the ball over the onrushing keeper into the net.
Shocking crowd (from an ICT point of view) - just over 1,000. Wonder what happened to the missing 4,000 Home fans from Sunday? :006:
Anyway, well played Dumbarton. Yet again I think ICT underestimated the opposition and nearly got screwed over. I can't help but wonder what might have happened if Dumbarton had scored another one before half time?
Edit: Sorry Dobbie scored the first goal but was generally fat all night. Not that impressed with him TBH.
