Cling too

Congratulations on reaching 100 pages in 1 season. Who said the wee saintees were an irrelevant club.

No danger the filth put in a serious offer for Tommy. 100k is f**k all to Tim Keyes and would see Wright on his way to Dens.

Agreed his style of play is shite but he's working wonders with such a small, irrelevant club in St Johnstone.

Tommy would jump at the 1st opportunity to come to Dens.

Tommy Wright to be appointed in the summer

Expectations are top 6 (5th biggest budget), a steady improvement in cup runs and the youth set up to continually improve as each season goes by. Reality is we're getting worse with each transfer window, cup runs are non existent and as regards the youths we never hear enough about how they're getting on to gauge, although they never seem to win anything either or have many called up for youth internationals. Staying in in the league is the priority though. This ultra negative tactics we now have isn't acceptable though. Edited to say the fact he has yet to sign a dominant centre half and a 6ft plus ball winning central midfielder after 3 and a half years in charge is pissing me off. Also we now have no decent players to play out wide in their natural positions. Absolute shit season.

You'd like to think so with 4 out of the last 6 games at Dens. It's Dundee tho, wi ah ken what's awa tae happen tho.

It'll cover your loss of the parachute payment which looks like coming in handy for us

The Night Of The Long Knives is dawning

FC Dundee Pepsi Max sounds better.

All in jest. The dabs can stop begging to be part of our historic Club, not happening. Fucking dayglo, filthy b*****ds.

I'd prefer it looked like a can o Pepsi Max

Obviously it's going to be a The Football Club Of Dundee. In other words FC Dundee

It's not a case of because you're a professional you can play anywhere. Hartley's hanging players out to dry by asking them to play out of position. Of course certain types of players can adapt. Wingers can play on either side of the park just like fullbacks but central players very, very rarely can play out wide effectively just the same as when wide players are being asked to play inside.

I think your spot on about Kerr. You could also add O'Dea, Vincent and O'Hara. Are the last 2 players I mentioned good enough though? As for the rest he's spot on. Bain and Gomis are examples of players who look like they couldn't give a f**k. Hateley is an example of someone who goes hiding when we're in possession of the ball. He'll stand waving his arms about like he wants the ball but he's usually in a position where the player can't find him with the ball or in a position where he'd be under so much pressure you wouldn't give him the ball. He particularly boils meh p!ss with his lack of closing down. Time and again a Dundee player will run by him to go and close someone down, usually Gowser or Vincent.

They can't adapt because Hartley plays that many people out of position. 5 central midfielders started on Friday with no naturally wide players and a centre forward who didn't have a clue how to play the lone striker role. Hartley's summer transfer window was horrendous. Chased El Bahktoui all summer who's not good enough, then to compound matters chased Hateley for months afterwards. We're going backwards.

Personally, Gowser's done Hartley's job for him. He's the 1 who should've been out facing up to the media saying the same things, instead it was left to Gowser who didn't miss himself out in all this. Also without a doubt there will be players in that dressing room who think they're above any criticism and don't see themselves as part of Gowser's comments. Do you think Scott Bain see's himself as part of the problem?

Agreed and someone had to say it.

Spot on from Gowser.

We've seen Gowser can do it by his performances over the 2 previous seasons. Vincent has still to deliver but definitely brings a bit of energy to the side. The bigger question is was his type of signing required?

That is spot on. It's sh!t going to a game knowing your going to get pumped because of the manager's bizarre line up and tactics. Every game bar 1, the Rangers game against the top 4 he goes negative as f**k and we just invite teams onto us knowing it's only a matter of time until they score. Twice this season I thought he's found a formation that would easily see us safe yet after an international break/winter shutdown he goes back to the utterly sh!te tactic of 5 in midfield, sitting deep as f**k with zero support to the striker and Hately shoehorned back into the side. 5 central midfielders he had starting the game last night. That's ridiculous. I think O'Hara won 1 header against Considine all night yet the whole game Bain kept doing the same kick out to him. At what point does Hartley instruct him to stop doing it. Of that starting 11 last night Gomis, Hateley, Holt and El Bahktoui are simply nowhere near the standard required and I've been kind not to include Vincent and Ross in that category as well. That's not to mention the likes of Williams, Yordi, Low, Loy, Jules and Gadzhalov Would it be harsh to say since the summer we got promoted that we're getting worse every transfer window we go through?

On a side note, Oor Duff would wipe the floor wi that fud Lennon. Fun and games with Lennon in the Premier next season.

I'm having a good bevy on Craig Wighton day to celebrate the anniversary. Champers or Tennents is the big question...

I think game time it was 90+3 when Wighton put the ball in Yeniteds net. Forever known as Beautiful Monday.
