But we all know it’ll only be two games.

I understand where you're coming from however i don't agree with that last comment, personally. Just because we're in the top 6 that doesn't mean our standards should slip or the fans should accept such a poor performance.
Nobody said it should be accepted.
But that doesn’t justify the abuse that was hurled from some quarters.

We lost the physical battle today and probably a fair result overall.
Some shite I heard people spouting at full time though. You’d think we just went 5 points adrift at the bottom the way they were reacting.

Yes, on the team bus because we play Hearts next week.

While it’s a fantastic away support, and certainly one of the biggest at Dens outside the Old Firm this season, I think it’s clear to see why suggestions St Mirren would sell out the Shankly were rightly laughed at.

The morning after his team’s title party and he’s all over a Dundee match thread.
That’s just sad.

The dumpster fire that is the new BBC Sport website keeps on delivering.
If you click through to a match from the fixture list, then click on "Tables", it shows you the final pre-split table despite it having today's date at the top.

This is, objectively, a poor TV pick when there’s two genuinely meaningful games taking place.
With all games kicking off at the same time, a pick can be made at short notice once it’s known what issues might still be alive. It seems bizarre that didn’t happen.

Goal given and rightly so. Ridiculous they even thought that could have been a foul.

That’s not a foul.

As you well know orfc, Holyrood is set up differently from Westminster. A government cannot just decide to call an election.
Strictly speaking, the SNP could refuse to nominate anyone as FM (and ensure no other party leader got it) and eventually that would lead to an election.
But it would be utterly pointless.
4 hours ago, ICTChris said:I can't stand the "unelected First/Prime Minister" meme that seems to be trotted out more now. We have a Parliamentary system. Every party who has been in government in any part of the UK has changed leader at some point and not had an immediate general election - SNP when moving from Salmond to Sturgeon to Yousaf and now to Swinney or Forbes; Tories from Thatcher to Major and then Cameron to May to Johnson to Truss to Sunak; Labour going from Blair to Brown and even from Harold Wilson to Jim Callaghan if you want to go old school.
Holyrood is also different in that the FM is elected by the Scottish Parliament. So the electorate does get a say by proxy, in the same way we get a say by proxy for anything the Parliament does.

Funny sentence in this Daily Record write-up of our new owners. Think they might have forgotten there's another Dundee club. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/st-johnstone-takeover-agreed-american-32712833
Just along the road from Saints in Dundee, Mark Ogren's ownership of Dundee United has seen the Tangerines relegated to the Championship. They;ve finally bounced back up after winning the title under Jim Goodwin, although must wait and see if the Perth club avoid the relegation playoff spot before they can take them on in an all-American Tayside derby next season.
The Daily Record are in the huff with us since we pissed off, then didn't lie down to, their precious Sevco.

Seems fine aye?
This is from today's game.
Aberdeen desperately trying to pretend they're good enough to mix with elite top 6 clubs like Dundee.

That’s an example of VAR working well.
But how the referee didn’t see that in real time is baffling.

Why is league 2 outside the blackout period today? @The Master
No more blackouts this season in England, but there still is in Scotland so technically Colchester v Crewe should have been blocked up here.

Any reason why there's no OAM today when they have reporters at the various games? Just can't be bothered talking about football when there's no Celtic or Rangers games today?
Normally they don't bother with a commentary game when neither Celtic nor Rangers are playing.
Not sure why they decided there should be two commentaries and no OAM this week.

Another Dundee home game on Sky, another wrong background image.

Speaking of next season, a very minor change I'd like to see is the draw numbers from the 5th round onwards being the order the ties were drawn in the previous round.
So if the first tie out in R4 is Dundee v Dundee Utd, the winner is number 1 in the R5 draw; if the second tie out in R4 is Hearts v Hibs, the winner is number 2 in the R5 draw and so on.
In the grand scheme of things, it makes little difference but it does make a true "what if" possible all the way to the final.

I almost feel this should come with a warning. It really is scary seeing behind the curtain. The lengths they are going to to desperately find something wrong at every opportunity, regardless of how ridiculously small the margins are.
Are you watching the same video?
For the offside check, the on-field decision was offside. Yes it was close, but the alternative to the close check is having VAR overrule an on-field decision based on "well it looks onside" - which strikes me as contrary to the position you're arguing.
For the penalty, there was no "find[ing] something wrong". It was a clear penalty and red card. The subsequent check of the attacking phase of play was, again, to ensure VAR wasn't trying to do something it shouldn't.
I think there's lots of things wrong with VAR, but there's very little wrong with that video. Yes it took a while, but that's because there was a lot happened, and ultimately they arrived at the correct decision. And not a "toenail offside" correct decision - it was very obviously the right outcome.

How many cameras do sky use when they cover a Scottish game? Must be less than half that.
They had 13 cameras at Dens last week, including the 2 fixed goal-line cameras and the steadicam.
I think you’d struggle to find 30 unique camera positions in most Scottish grounds.

This probably happens because the play-off winners are presented with a trophy. It would be odd for a team that finished 3rd-6th to get a trophy but not the team who finished 2nd.
Of course, the solution is not to give a trophy for anything other than first in the, er, first place.
