Season 1883–84 was the 11th season in which Dumbarton competed at a Scottish national level, entering the Scottish Cup for the 11th time. == Overview == After the success of the previous season, Dumbarton fell at the 'first hurdle' in the Scottish Cup by losing to local rivals Renton. Dumbarton did no better in the Glasgow Charity Cup and lost at the semi final stage to 3rd LRV. A protest was lodged by Dumbarton after the game that their opponents had played several players from other teams - against SFA rules. However the basis of the objection was doomed to failure, due in part to the fact that the game had been refereed by the president of the SFA, and if the protest had been successful, Queen's Park's victory over Rangers would have had to be replayed, as the QP team was similarly sprinkled with 'guest' players - indeed it seemed that very few decisions went against Queens Park in those days! Elsewhere however Dumbarton's fixture card was a busy one, with 31 'other' matches being played. In Scotland, the season began with a charity match against Rangers in aid of the Daphne Disaster Fund and then home and away fixtures against Queen's Park, Vale of Leven, Rangers, St Mirren (the Renfrewshire Cup holders) and St Bernards - all 10 of which were won, not to mention a 7-0 thumping of Ayrshire Cup holders Kilmarnock Athletic. In addition there were 13 matches played against English opposition, including home and away fixtures against Aston Villa, Walsall Swifts, Nottingham Forest, Blackburn Rovers and Blackburn Olympic, the 1882-83 FA Cup winners - the 6-1 win at Boghead was in fact recognised as the unofficial Championship of Great Britain. In all, of these matches, 23 were won, 1 drawn and 7 lost, scoring 95 goals and conceding 38. It is also of interest to note that the defeat to Thornliebank in January 1884 was Dumbarton's first 'home' defeat at Boghead since its official opening in 1879 - a run of 54 wins and 2 draws. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1883–84 Dumbarton F.C. season」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
