Completely random, but I really, really like the King of the Ring format. I absolutely detest how the winner gets a 'king' gimmick after every one. Back in its heyday, I viewed the KotR as one of the bigger PPV's.
Not an indication of quality - as I don't think an actual KotR match went over 5-10 minutes - but KotR 2000 nailed the format with quarter finals onward being on the PPV rather than a weak build up with just the final on the PPV.
Should be an easy way to build storylines around. Bring it back and do it properly instead of the throwaway versions we've seen in recent times.
There was a live show in Dundee with the likes of Rey Mysterio, John Morrison & Carlito involved which was on TV which utilised the format well and built a nice easy storyline without a single promo needed.

Chris Kavanagh comes off like an utter jobsworth when he sends Ancelotti off.
ETA:
He says, 'I want a decision. I won't disappear' and gets sent off for it. FFS.

Just read Goodwins interview, that's embarrassing. Proper Jackie McNamara-esque bluster about "playing the right way".
I was surprised there wasn't more discussion about it on this thread (I could have just skimmed past it admittedly). I was more shocked at McInnes just accepting it though. he usually loves a wee nibble.

That gap at the top just keeps shrinking, looks like old Kerso has given Dundee the absolute fear
What are we scared about?

Personally no.
I really doubt it is possible for him to play. That's surely the biggest conflict of interest you can get in football and that's entirely the reason for me.
Derek Lyle - Who I don't deem anywhere near as professional as Berra, still scored a fair few goals for us when he signed a PCA with Hamilton.

Open question..
Would you play Berra if we made a play off final against Hearts?
Allegedly he is allowed to play for us if that were the case.
Based on his performances so far - yes. That could easily change.
Surely he's wouldn't be eligible in that theoretical situation though? Not came across many situations like it. @Skyline Drifter

Meekings & McGowan our 2 players out of contract at the end of the season. I'd be handing McGowan a new 1 year deal regardless if we go up or not. (He'd be a good stabilising back-up for a top flight side still IMO).
Really torn on Meekings. He's been massively improved since Berra came in. Up until that point, he'd have been one of the easiest punts. Definite punt if we somehow fluked promotion - big, big 3 or so month if he's to earn himself a new deal.
The rest are contracted for next season as far as I'm aware.

Plenty time for this to come back to bite me, but it's looking grim for AJ right now.

You love your pitch and think it’s class, as do many professionals apparently.
And I don’t, basically regard Dens as average in every regard, pretty much like most fans, it’s that simple. I reckon I’d be in the majority but it’s fine, the PFA make me silly which is ok because I don’t give a shit what they say.
It’s that simple, we will probably both sleep soundly tonight.

@Ludo*1 arguing about how good the Dens park pitch is 5 minutes before a game due to it being played on being postponed due to it being a marshland. Bold.
I thought you'd be out there drinking the puddles up. Could have saved the day.

2 years ago the players voted it 3rd best? I’ll give you that, the trophy will surely be as impressive as the accolade itself.Don't really see where you're going with this tbh.

In the last 30 odd years? I think we will have to agree to disagree then, it’s not widely though of, in my opinion of course.Yes - 2018 voted on by the players on behalf of the PFA. You made a c**t of it, everyone does from time to time. It's no big deal.

Have you seariously searched that and come up with Gordon Smith?
I mean when was this, he played on this 30 years ago? Probably more.
The PFA one is a fairly decent barometer of what players think but I would completely discard a former Dundee player saying it’s any good, I mean it’s just that usual shite sound bite a player will use from time to time to appease moron fans.
When was the PFA vote?I put a Google search of, 'Dundee fc pitch quality' and those 3 came up.
The point is, it's been regularly stated.

Here is a photo of a football pitch cover.
No one seems to be able to answer this question - but did Dundee have a cover down last night to protect against the weather ?
The video footage suggests that no such precautions were taken ?
Can anyone clarify if a cover was on the pitch ?
No-one seems to be able to answer it because we're not the fucking groundsman.

Nah it’s shite because it’s never been said.PFA Scotland (Based on player surveys) rank the pitches in Scotland, Dundee came third in the top flight (Which was the last time it was surveyed):

In fairness I don't think this would clear up in a few hours.
Clearly a conspiracy. Can only hear one set of footsteps when clearly 2 people on the pitch.

The only problem I'd have with that, is that I much prefer the slow storyline build rather than the 1 month feud that more regular PPV's seem to encourage.
