Seriously? You’ve blown 4th Place and you’re slagging Rovers off? Take your slagging and sit down.

I’m not someone who’d consider themselves as trigger happy either, but I’d certainly take Coughlin even now. We’re getting absolutely nothing from the current manager and it seems like the players have downed tools. Even if it took a 5% chance to a 10% chance, I’d do it. If he succeeded, give him a bonus and build statue. If we still went down, I doubt anyone would be looking back saying ‘if only we’d kept Harvey’. I still fear that Harvey is being looked at as the man for next season though. Frightening.

Just an observation, but yourself and your pal Frank conner are two of the worst people on this thread for abusive comments to others.

Arya is about 12 the f**k is goin on

This post is a pile of shite from start to finish. Cove Rangers, as much as they seem like a detestable club, have a long history and a decent enough support, and as far as I'm aware they don't have any sort of sugar daddy. I'm not sure why they would "add" any less to the division than any of the other teams involved, or indeed what that even means. Many of the clubs in the Lowland League are also long established clubs who have been members of the SFA for decades. There are a few newer clubs like East Kilbride, but every club in Scotland was a new club at some point in their history. East Kilbride serve a big town and have the potential to be one of the bigger part-time clubs in the country given time. The only questionable club in their are Edusport, who are the product of some weirdo's ego trip, but they will probably disappear within the next decade. The quality of the league is only going to improve as the best Junior teams slowly filter in - at least one of Bonnyrigg/Bo'ness/Penicuik will arrive this year, and others will follow in the coming seasons. The SFA at no point said there were "too many teams", you've just made that up. And the pyramid had absolutely nothing to do with the Rangers stuff in 2012 - it was introduced a year later at the same time as the SPFL merger. If the SFA/SPL were looking to "bribe" the SFL to let Rangers in, then they would have been more likely to kibosh the pyramid than promote it, given that the SFL clubs are the ones who had the most to lose from it. In football if you finish bottom of the league then you deserve to get relegated. What if the SPFL made the same argument you have about League 1 and didn't let Clyde up? Just because Stenhousemuir/Brechin finished bottom doesn't mean they weren't trying their best - let's just keep them in League 1 again.

Evening all. Spent a short time reading this evenings input. however have you seen the spelling and grammar of DU83's posting? Roughly 68% of the population has an IQ between 85 and 115, safe to say we can guess what the 83 refers to. Lol Entertaining none the less. Best regards.

Thick Gammon Found. Where is the 'DNA Evidence' you speak of linking the two? Yet to be found or profiled. As for Soldier F, the GFA does not stop everyone being prosecuted, it just holds a maximum of two years. However there is currently debate that if that only applies to 'terror' organisations. The evidence against him is pretty substantial given that the others could all be done still for perjury. The man is/was a psychopath. Anyway f**k Soldier F and f**k whoever killed the poor girl. Hopefully they get the sentences they deserve.

I'm sad that pressures of work have meant I've hardly seen us in 2019. Caught a fair few games before the Christmas break; I actually was frustrated then by the squad seemingly a little light, which meant results were patchy and inconsistent. Montrose gave signs that they were to be reckoned with however with that 3-2 win over Raith in December, who were genuinely the worst full time football team I've ever seen. I just wanted to come on and congratulate the players, staff and directors for delivering another memorable season, however it ends up. We'll be playing whoever finishes 9th in the Championship should we confirm our place in the play offs. Nothing to fear from Falkirk if it's them, or QoS I think. Alloa, Partick, Morton would be tough. We lost a couple of important players last summer (one of whom has since come back and there's a rumour another is returning) and it took us quite a while to adjust. It really is an outside prospect of us "doing a Brechin" this season and many fear the consequences if that were to happen. However, we aren't Brechin and Petrie is no Darren Dods. If the outrageous actually happened and we won promotion, we'd lose a lot again next season but I'd fancy us to give it a right good go. What we lack in quality we make up for in sheer determination. Perhaps some of the older squad members will move on in the summer and regardless of whether we are sandbagging defensive trenches for an unexpected season in the second tier, or trying to make a few canny additions for a shot at the League One promotion race, we're in a nice situation at present. In John Paton's time as chairman the aim for Montrose was to be a third tier side making regular forays into the second tier. It seemed almost unachievable with squads full of eminently forgettable players. After a quarter of a century of that being an unfulfilled aspiration, many of these seasons as a laughing stock at the bottom of the senior game, we've finally made that aspiration good. Keep going, lads. Let's see where this takes us.

Looked like he headbutted Cerny in the hand to me tbh.

I'm doing great thanks and so are the brood! I am the best I've been in a year. Waiting on the Queen Elizabeth giving me a date for my stem cell transplant, should be a few weeks maximum wait. Wee bit nervous but know it will be worth it in the long run.

I'll have your kidneys and liver.

Given the Manager's supremely awful record, our current edge-of-the-cliff position and the clear evidence that performances are actually getting worse, I can't decide which is most amazing - The manager's refusal to walk out of embarrassment, or The Board's stubborn refusal to give him a shove.

You’ve been struggling of late cardigan. Losing the right to the Aussie quiz, the supermegaleagues, no Easter quiz...please consider this your vote of confidence from the board. We remain behind you and consider you the right man for the job. As demonstrated by having to come out and confirm it, obviously.

A "journalist" working for a paper that relies on the custom of Rangers and Celtic supporters for its existence asks a deliberately loaded question of that customer group and gets the answer he wanted....EXCLUSIVE!

" Man Loses Virginity"

It's not even the mismanagement that irks me most It's the arrogance. Exemplified by wrongly accusing the fanbase of racism and refusing to apologise.

Hi, I've probably not been eloquent enough, but I've added this. There is a long list of people reacting exactly the way you'd expect to, though, so I'm probably pissing into a wind worse than what wheechs up the Clyde on game day in January, though.

So for example Hill of Beath Haws didn't fancy travelling to Dundee (35 miles, motorway and dual carriageway all the way, a journey of less than an hour each way) but did fancy travelling to Coldstream (75 miles away, mostly on windy roads, a 90 minute journey each way) to Tweedmouth 80 miles away or to Gretna or Mid-Armadale in the Cup? And even if it was about the money, so what? Why would Hill of Beath want to stay in the East Juniors when they'll be in the East of Scotland Premier playing against some decent teams and with their traditional rivals Kelty in the same pyramid structure? Kelty v Haws in the Lowland League in a few years? Cowdenbeath potentially falling into that same league? Considering the East Juniors didn't want part of the pyramid at that stage, what possible reason would they have for staying?

Jesus, work experience at Falkirk, think he'll choose a different career.

Shaughan’s on the tele these days, speak for yoursel!

I swithered long and hard between going to watch the Broxburn game where they could clinch the title and the Edinburgh v Blackburn game where everything was on the line for the visitors re getting to the Premier League - the latter won out as I suspected Broxburn had an easy task and it turned out to be so. So, Paties Road. The hosts were apparently top notch last week against Heriot-Watt, which set up the Blackburn game as the weekends most important encounter and you could see just why they’d managed to lance the university’s hopes by the way they got in and about Blackburn in the first half. However, they couldn’t turn that early prominence into a goal and a great double save early in the second half by the visiting keeper laid the foundation for a comfortable and deserving win for the visitors - timing is everything and boy did they not time their run to fifth place and ‘promotion’ perfectly?! As an aside, I felt a little bit voyeuristic at the end when, on leaving, I saw who I later learned was Blackburn’s President/Chairman in what seemed two genuinely emotional embraces with two ladies who I’m guessing were also involved with the Club. You could see just how much it meant to each of them and it is exactly this commitment that should draw more people to the game at this level. I might even try to get along more often myself now!

Yeah.... Which infinitely less lazy than ignoring the fact that the vast majority of voters on a Record Old Firm puff piece will be Old Firm supporters. We all know where you stand, and you are talking shite.

Not sure if this should be in TV and Movies. I found a YouTube channel a while ago that makes simulations of incidents involving planes in the last half century. Most are crashes but not all, some near misses etc. It is made by pilots, simulates the.movements of the planes accurately, explains the background to each, event itself and aftermath. They are magnificent videos and I find them absolutely mesmerising. Love the music too. Here are a couple of my favourites, nervous fliers might not want to watch the first one

I think the remaining games might be the most boring combination of fixtures the computer could possibly have given us. We're likely playing Dundee and St Mirren too early for us to be able to send either of them doon. Motherwell vs St Johnstone/Livi doesn't exactly set the heart raging during the regular season, let alone when we've got literally nothing to play for. Only thing I'm really left looking forward to is some more glimpses of the Young Team/Declan Gallagher. ETA that for legal reasons I should probably say that any mention of Declan Gallagher and young teams was purely coincidental.

FIFA sucking up to the World Famous.

Stay up or go down, clear out needed all the same. Enough is enough.

A bit of perspective on a sunny day, here hoping he makes a full recovery

It’s the last throw of dice - do nothing and we are fucked- relegated with all the baggage that brings. Taking a chance (it’s not a chance IMO) with someone like say Cough might give team a boost. At minute it very much appears to be fingers in ears saying “la la la” As Craig said it hasn’t worked - that’s football

As things currently stand, pretty much anybody (or even nobody as @Redcar suggested) would be better than JH right now. FWIW I don't understand why the club didn't try to attract Jim Jeffries onto the board before he went off to Edinburgh, and why they never took up Pat Nevin's offer to get involved when he spoke at the celebratory dinner a couple of years back. Having one or both as either a director or ambassador would've made the club a more attractive investment to outsiders.

Not well, no.

I’ve seen relations of three players calling the manager since Saturday, suggests players have little confidence in him. Now departed youth coaches liking posts calling for the manager to go. What more evidence is required to make the change? It hasn’t worked for JH at Berwick, that’s football, he probably knows he made too many changes to the squad but there has to come a point when people with power admit to this and call it a day.

Enjoy this sight next season lads and lassies

Honestly can't believe people didn't think that was a foul on Salah. The ref should have done his job well before Salah had to go down to force the shitebag to make a decision.

More Accies I’m afraid... But this uber-staunch advertising is spectacularly tinpot

League One forum for this pish.

Have just sent this to jnelms@dundeefc.co.uk Dear Mr Nelms, It is with a heavy heart that I find myself in the position of having to write this e-mail. I've been a Dundee fan for as long as I can remember. I've seen us play in cup finals (winning and losing), play in Europe, win promotion and secure tremendous results home and away, sometimes against all the odds. I've also seen relegation, cup exits to lower league teams, thumping defeats at home and away and two administrations. However, I've never been more disheartened and disillusioned with the club than at present. We seem to be drifting aimlessly to relegation, with very little shown on the pitch to give any hope that we may be able to stage any kind of upturn in our playing fortunes. I have to say that the blame for this lies fairly and squarely on the shoulders of the team manager. Mystifying team selections, baffling substitutions (or lack thereof) and post-match interviews that seem to leave us all wondering if he has been watching the same games as the rest of us, all contribute to the all-consuming sense of a doomed inevitability to the remainder of this season. I know that it is easy for fans to say that they would have picked this player or that formation or made that substitution or this tactical change, but I know of absolutely no Dundee fan, from either face-to-face or online contact, who has the slightest bit of confidence in the manager. I'm not saying that I know what I would do differently that would definitely give us a chance, but it has become clear to me that Mr McIntyre absolutely does not have the necessary skills to do this. I take no pleasure in urging someone to be made unemployed, but I can see only positives from relieving him of his duties. Firstly, there is a chance that a new manager/management team would be able to change things up, either personnel-wise or tactics-wise for the final, crucial 4 (or maybe even, hopefully, 6) games of the season. Secondly, a new manager would have some competitive fixtures to assess the playing and coaching set-up for next season, rather than relying exclusively on pre-season friendlies. Conversely, the dangers of not making a change are not just limited to almost certain relegation. There is a very real possibility that I, and no doubt hundreds (or even thousands) of other season ticket holders will not feel that it is worthwhile renewing their ticket for next season. The financial impact will compound the errors of this season and make it more difficult to push for promotion next season. There is also the, in my opinion, very real danger of following the example of Partick Thistle and making a poor start to next season and be more likely to exit the Championship downwards, rather than upwards. The most pressing danger, apart from relegation is that fans will, as I believe has already started, simply lose heart and stop actively following the club, as defeat follows defeat, poor play continues and the air of despondency lingers. I hope that you and the Board of Directors will take the brave step of making a swift, decisive change to give us even the tiniest glimmer of hope for salvaging this season. I have absolutely no doubt that the manager has tried to do what he thought was best for the club, but I believe that tough choices have to be made, and made now. I hope that I can see Dundee FC playing Premiership football next season, and I hope that you agree with me that there is nothing more important at this stage than giving us a fighting chance throughout the next few weeks. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I hope it gives you an idea as to the deep-rooted love I have for the club and the desire I have to see us maintain our rightful place at Scottish football's top table. Kind Regards, I doubt it'll make a difference, but at least it feels like I'm doing something!!

"We are going to reform the Lords" (honest this time) "We are going to end austerity" (abstain abstain abstain) "we are going to get rid of nuclear weapons" (lets all vote for new ones) "We will nationalise everything" (Yip same as the last time) Been there heard it Now away and waffle about big business or some other shite

He’s a super roofer the team is going to love him stop us feeling blue like he used to do Cause he’ll keep us in Division 2 too much time on my hands I know

We explained this at a recent supporters meeting. There were a couple of factors. Firstly, we're not running an U20 team as an extension of the community club who already run up to U19. If we do it, it's to provide a challenge to the first team. To do that, we would look to recruit U20 players at a good level and given the competition within a 15 - 20 mile radius that's a tough gig. Equally important is the fact that both Linlithgow Rose Community Club and Bo'ness United Community Club are intending to run junior teams next season. Can't speak for Bo'ness but the ambition at Linlithgow is to use players under the age of 23. Now that's not set in stone but as an ambition it makes sense as it offers a good pathway from the U19s. The measure of success for the junior team will be the provision of a platform to move up levels. Not every U20 is ready to go straight in at the level we want to aspire to but with a bit more time in the East Juniors (or EoS if there was a merger) that may happen. Bottom line is that the community club in Linlithgow continues to provide excellent opportunities for young players locally and the value in trying to replicate that as a vanity project doesn't stack up. This isn't a decision made from the perspective of not being bothered about an U20 team - quite the opposite. It is a recognition of the opportunity available locally already and what's happening elsewhere in Linlithgow.

Ian McCall could easily fill McIntyre’s boots.

Actually in the Spencer Fearn years we were demolished regularly by the Shire, they were getting into the play-offs and our defence resembled a bunch of clowns with their hair on hire in a zumba class.. A 0-5 defeat at Ochilview (manager: Mr D. Hannah) at their hands being a particular lowlight. Further back, we beat them 5-4 on the last day of a season early this century (can't be arsed looking it up) which was possibly one of the lowest quality games ever played at senior level. My point was that it's brilliant to have broken what seemed to have become a permanent cycle of failure until three seasons ago and it's great to see. As you state many half-forgotten figures from that past played a part in us getting to where we are now.

"Nobody's blacker than me son"

Pub up the road from me has used this image to promote their Easter weekend deals. Not the best picture to use to promote a business with that headline tbh.

Wish we'd done similar with the likes of Dave Mackay. Having respected legends at the club shouldn't be understated, their influence can be massive.

Why don't they simply scrap the other 40 teams in the league and replace them with 20 Celtic and 20 Rangers reserve teams? Then every match will be an OF derby and Scottish football will be saved.
