Dumbarton have actually won the Scottish league title twice. They finished joint 1st in the first ever season in 1890-91 and after a playoff with Rangers ended 2-2 they were both declared champions. They also share another distinction with Rangers as the only two team to win all four divisions.
Dumbarton would have won if there’d been any idea of goal difference, goals scored or head-to-head record. They decided to play an extra game to decide the winner than finished 0-0. They then asked the teams to play a replay the next Wednesday. The Rangers chairman wrote to the SFA complaining that it was ok to ask a big team like Dumbarton to field a team during the week but Rangers wouldn’t be able to get players off their work, so the league was declared split. Meaning Dumbarton were also the first team to win the league, and the first team to retain it & win it outright. Scotlands original champions
Can’t believe the sub count, watch all these videos and the quality is top notch! Getting a title in 10 seasons is ridiculous! Got the wonderkid filter as well and it’s been amazing! Much love
Fantastic video mate. Would love a continuation of this rebuild to see how long it would take in consistent champions leagues to properly challenge Celtic and Rangers budgets
Wow, awesome work that steve a brilliant way to showcase the game and how it can be difficult but fun at the same time. Going through a save at the moment with Spennymoor my local side 👍
@@HoodGamingUK Definitely mate 👍 nice to see the smaller clubs being rebuilt instead of top tier clubs all the time. I think it's great. Love watching your rebuilds keep it up mate.
irl Dumbarton finished 2nd in League 2 last season. They should’ve, on paper, won the league with the squad they had but their form 2nd half of the season dipped dramatically and Stirling Albion (my team) finished the season being unbeaten since losing on 3rd December until the last game of the season when we’d already won the league and played a weakened side. Love seeing the lower Scottish leagues getting a bit of coverage on the FM youtube scene!
One of the best rebuilds Steve.Not only one of your best but one of the best rebuilds i've seen this year.Great one Steve,can't wait for the next ones buddy,bless you mate and thanks for the entertainment 🖤🖤💛💛
Faticanti has been my man for awhile now.. Head of my not quite wonder kids list for lesser clubs.. Roma also have Christian Volpato, an Aussie teen Zidane like AM who's great and cheap and doable 👍
Can you rebuild AAB, from Denmark, they have just gotten relegated for the first time in history and have been a big team for the last 20 years they won the double in Denmark in 2014, ? Would be very fun i think
If you’re team is semi-pro, it’s very unlikely for your board to agree to go professional unless they are forced to. When I managed Alloa Athletic on FM22, I didn’t become fully professional until I reached the Premiership (which is obviously fully professional)
@@HoodGamingUKDumbarton we’re in the Championship only a few years ago. The reality is there isn’t enough money to make these teams go full time safely. Rangers are 15 mins up the road, Celtic half an hour away. At the top end of the championship the crowd was around 1,500.
The all-time top goal scorer for dumbarton is my mates dad and he lives 5 houses down from me. Charlie Gibson is his name. His nickname from the fans is God.
Hey man, when you click on a player your overview is different then the player overview i get on my FM23. Is that because you are using some kind of customized something if so can you make a video or explanation how to get it like you?
@@HoodGamingUK Thanks i found it! Keep up your great vids. I only started watching you like a few days ago but watched multiple videos already and really like them!
I love that it is THE WORST, but favored to go up. Also, you didn't mention Sterling Albion who won in real life. A bunch of Total Soccer Show listeners getting mad for Graham!
The play offs ain’t that confusing ie 1st gets automatic promotion then there’s a play off between 2nd 3rd and 4th and also who ever became 2nd bottom of the league above and who ever wins gets promoted or stays up (if the team from league above wins)
Can you rebuild Fredrikstad FK from Norway? They are equal with Rosenborg BK with most league and cup titles and are currently in The second division of Norway.
So with promotion and relegation in the lower leagues how it works is 2nd, 3rd and 4th will go into playoffs with 2nd bottom of the leuage above and play it that way
A super easy way I found to build up lower league (and sometimes higher too) teams is to just filter all players without a contract and look for ones with a high reputation. I raise the reputation number until I have around 100 recommendations and then offer them all trials to see their stars and end the trial after that, easy way to check a bunch of unknown players in a couple of days and fill up your squad with decent players that won't ask for too much money.
@@HoodGamingUK got them up to the prem in 6 seasons, bit of a noob at the time was my first save without editor(only used it to remove unhappiness, maybe a little cash injection😜)
Dumbarton armasında fil olması sebebiyle dikkatimi çekmiştir hep. Kendi liginde puan durumu ne diye hep merak eder bakardım. Son sezonda yine şampiyonluk 😀. Dumbartonun hayatında elde edemeyeceği başarılar. Birde taktikleri neye göre seçiyorsun onu merak ettim?
@@HoodGamingUKthink Sheffield FC are in Tier 8, northern premier league div 1 east. I went them in fm21 and managed to get to league 1. The board never built a new stadium and from nation league north to league 1 we played at Rotherham’s ground.
I'm sorry but I stay near albion rovers and they are official the fastest team I've seen dissappear from the Scottish leagues but they have great fans and they're the worst ran and worst performing clubs in Scotland
Just at the start of the video, but aren't Albion Rovers the worst team in Scotland? 150/1 for the title, the longest odds, compared to Dumbartons 2/9...
To add to this, Albion Rovers finished bottom in your first season and bottom in real life, so I think it's a strong argument they are actually the worst team in Scotland.
This has been the most enjoyable rebuild I’ve done this year! I hope you enjoy it
Really enjoyed it mate :)
Chinese has just arrived poured myself a cold pint and got this to watch perfect Sunday night
Love to hear it Paul! Hope you enjoy it!
Absolutely love these 10 year rebuilds. Keep up the great work. Quickly be one of my favourite FM streamers!!
Too kind Mike!! That’s made my day and it’s not even 10am yet
Love rebuilds, thank you for doing the Scottish Lower Leagues and well done with your Dumbarton career. East Fife are in need of your skills.

As a dumbarton fan myself, thank you very much for bringing us back to the top 🙏
Fm have the titles wrong tho
perfect way to end my weekend, one of the most enjoyable videos you’ve made this fm. Loving the longer videos 👍
Thank you mate! Worst team in Wales is up next!
Hopefully you can put a stop to the tns control over the league!

Cheers Ant, I think it makes me better at the game to use some of these smaller clubs! Allows me to find different players
@@HoodGamingUK Definitely mate 👍 nice to see the smaller clubs being rebuilt instead of top tier clubs all the time. I think it's great. Love watching your rebuilds keep it up mate.

This was really fun to watch!
On other great Rebuild 🥰 great team, even got a Champions League spot and won the League in the end. Really stunning stuff maister !
Bless you by the way! And commiserations with the hayfever I literally feel your pain.
Killing it with the content lately Steve. Got a feeling your channel’s in for a boom in the near future 🔥
Let me tell you I audibly gasped when you dropped that league table at the end of season 10 there! What a rebuild
I couldn’t believe Celtic bottled it so much! They were so clear
Have been wanting you to do a Partick Thistle save but starting from L2 is even better. Haven't started watching yet and know this will be class
Love the long re builds got from start to end in one go lol
Faticanti has been my man for awhile now.. Head of my not quite wonder kids list for lesser clubs.. Roma also have Christian Volpato, an Aussie teen Zidane like AM who's great and cheap and doable 👍
Will make a note of these for next time!!
Dipo akinyemi is an absolute unit! Glad to see even FM respects him for Ayr.
Was a monster
Just completed watching it. Enjoyed the longer format & what an achievement to finish on. 😎👍
Actually nuts i went to school with one of the strikers you have in your second season, played this game a while and never knew he was in here
Class video! Best rebuild you’ve done on FM23 in my opinion.
I think so as well boss 🧡
Good to see my local team in a video😂 Enjoying the videos mate
Really good watch mate. You should try the same with a semi pro team in England 👍🏻
I'm sure I can give that a go Josh!
I live in Clydebank just down the road from Dumbarton. Lovely wee stadium by the rock. Rangers B have been playing there recently.
Yeah looks fantastic from pictures I've seen!
@@HoodGamingUK aye, shame about the town. Good news for your semi pro years though, there is a Sports Direct so you can get some cones for training.
at about 51:50 you mention the wonderkid filter, just wondering if you have a video explaining this?
Sure do: ua-cam.com/video/H5K9ibbIvbk/v-deo.html
But the filter itself is in my Discord
@@HoodGamingUK Top man, i shall have a look! Loved this video. Would love to see a 10 year rebuild in ireland or wales or something.
Its interesting seeing you do dumbarton funny enough my 2nd cousin managed Stranraer but recently got sacked Jamie Hamill xD
Ahh no way! It’s a club I will look at for now moving forward
Can you rebuild AAB, from Denmark, they have just gotten relegated for the first time in history and have been a big team for the last 20 years they won the double in Denmark in 2014, ? Would be very fun i think
Definitely worth a look mate, thank you for the heads up about them!
When will this be available on the Discord ?? I simply cannot wait for it :)
Enjoy the longer rebuilds. Keep it up!
Thank you so much!
Nice one! Congrats on the title!
Thank you mate!
this is my first time watching your videos and i really enjoyed it
Thank you Robert! That’s made my day and it’s not even 7:30am
@@HoodGamingUK Well I am a bit of a fan of Scottish football and I am glad to see that Scottish teams are being used on FM 23
If you’re team is semi-pro, it’s very unlikely for your board to agree to go professional unless they are forced to. When I managed Alloa Athletic on FM22, I didn’t become fully professional until I reached the Premiership (which is obviously fully professional)
Makes no sense to me considering there was pro teams in the championship as well
@@HoodGamingUK technically the Scottish Championship isn’t a fully-professional league, so the board wasn’t required to turn the club professional

Love these videos so much man
Thank you mate!
For FM24 please load a league datapack and do more rebuilds like this
Hard fought rebuild. Everyone should stay with the video, it's worth it!
Good to see that the Irish players were strong 😉
Very strong! And you’re too kind about the video
The team that Matt plus sundae went to on a free is my hometown team :)
That away kit looks sick to be fair!😍
The all-time top goal scorer for dumbarton is my mates dad and he lives 5 houses down from me. Charlie Gibson is his name. His nickname from the fans is God.
Live 10 minutes from their ground 😂 nice view of dumbarton castle as seen at the start
Not pkayed fm in years do you need patch to get Highland/ Lowland
Dunno if you noticed but in 2028 you finished on more points than 6th place St Mirren did.
Should do a aberdeen rebuild such a good vid brother
Hey man, when you click on a player your overview is different then the player overview i get on my FM23. Is that because you are using some kind of customized something if so can you make a video or explanation how to get it like you?
Hi mate, yes, I use a Custom Skin. It's called the Tato Skin (which is linked in the description) it's super easy to install
@@HoodGamingUK Thanks i found it! Keep up your great vids. I only started watching you like a few days ago but watched multiple videos already and really like them!
Any chance of a 4141 tactic. (1dm 4 across the midfield and a striker) ?
Great job Steve
Just started today with Stirling gald to see that rebuild :)
It can be one hell of a journey!
@@HoodGamingUK yep already used to Scotland but this one will be long it's far from my Ligue 2 and National save btw
I love that it is THE WORST, but favored to go up. Also, you didn't mention Sterling Albion who won in real life. A bunch of Total Soccer Show listeners getting mad for Graham!
No comment! It helps that they won the title all those years ago. Justifies the “rebuild” in the title
As a scot, we need another 10 season, champions league push? Europeon silverware, i need to know what happens next😂
been struggling for a save the last few days so as ive sat and watched through this video i picked the other team and went with Bonnyrigg Rose
They're a good option as well mate, Scotland is pretty tough!
The play offs ain’t that confusing ie 1st gets automatic promotion then there’s a play off between 2nd 3rd and 4th and also who ever became 2nd bottom of the league above and who ever wins gets promoted or stays up (if the team from league above wins)
I guess it’s harder to understand than England. Gets messy when you add in teams from the division above
@@HoodGamingUK true I only get it cause I’m Scottish 😂😂
Great rebuild mate
Cheers Mike - hope you enjoyed it!
Can you rebuild Fredrikstad FK from Norway? They are equal with Rosenborg BK with most league and cup titles and are currently in The second division of Norway.
Ooo now that’s a fun challenge!
If you’re doing more Scottish teams please rebuild Dunfermline!
I can have a look at that boss
So with promotion and relegation in the lower leagues how it works is 2nd, 3rd and 4th will go into playoffs with 2nd bottom of the leuage above and play it that way
Every day is a school day Jack!

Yeah end of contract reputation searching is a great way to do it!
I made a Dumbarton save, really enjoyed it
How far did you take them Jack?
@@HoodGamingUK got them up to the prem in 6 seasons, bit of a noob at the time was my first save without editor(only used it to remove unhappiness, maybe a little cash injection😜)
Great rebuild . You should try some Israeli team 🇮🇱!
Hapoel Tel Aviv is a great challenge for example
Can you make video about how to being rich with poor club in FM23 ?
do you just vacation til January and the Summer?

Would love his game file to continue with
It's posted in my Discord if you want it boss!

Can it be called a rebuild If you simulate the whole season
Why not adding 10 more years to this save?
They will never topple Celtic in this rebuild
My local team . There stadium is rather unique if you look it up
Looks amazing from images I’ve seen!
Turn Partick Thistle F.C. as equal to Old Firm?
That would be a fun challenge as well
I've done that
What have I just watched 😮😮
did you pick them out of a hat... could be any scottish team xD
Dumbarton have won the league twice so no idea why fm have gave them only one
Only you could make a guy playing Ball playing defender with 1 passing work 😂😂
I don’t think all the attributes matter 🤣🤣
