No, no and no again to Simon Murray. What would he bring to the table that Nelson doesn't? Both have pace and run about daft - that's the limit of Murray's talent. Now I rate Nelson, but understand how some don't, but you can't tell me Murray would bring more to the table.

My internet went and came back to it being full.

Why are the UK Government using mid-2000's protocol? There is no need for the underscore between UK and Gov. Receiving a text from UK_Gov feels like spam.

With Big Show's god awful looking Netflix series premise being about the erm, Big Show, a recently retired wrestler coping with family life, is he in fact, retired? He was well past it, but with the effort he put into getting into some awesome shape I thought they'd give him something to bow out with (He looks to have piled the pounds back on tbf) bit shit not to do so.

Ordered some booze from Snappy Shopper (Not the greatest deal but thought I'd try it out). Got hit with this:

Italy was our big hope that this might be a short term thing. f**k

Yet some seem to be spinning this into a conspiracy that Team Sturgeon tried to get Salmond the jail for this belief?

What's the script between Sturgeon & Salmond? I thought they always got on and Sturgeon was getting stick for visiting him when she wasn't supposed to. There seems to have been a different picture painted that I've not noticed till now.

I'm normally the type of person that goes into a shop and picks up a few things on a daily basis - Nothing that's an absolute necessity just a random assortment of things such as a few beers, crisps and maybe something to cook for myself and the missus if there's something that takes my fancy. It's more the people going daft for shops than the actual lockdown that's stopped this habit. It's weird deciding that the next time I'll head off to the shop is when my toilet roll is running out (6 rolls left) and no doubt I'll have to face the prospect of having to jump in the shower every time I have a shite.

Wee quiz: 1. Which Italian team did we play in a mid-week friendly on Thursday 9th May 2002? 2. Which player was Jim Lauchlan favoured over in a pre-season trial 'face-off'? 3. Who was Derek Adams speaking about when he said, 'If Dundee keep him fit, they'll win the league no problem'? 4. Which current top flight manager did Alex Rae beat to the Dundee job? 5. Which unrealistic dream team was mooted for the managerial job before Jocky Scott was appointed as Alex Rae's successor? 6. Which former Dundee CH managed England U19's for a 5 year period? 7. Which player did John Nelms' refuse to sign for £400,000 during the Paul Hartley era? 8. Who was our substitute goalkeeper during the 'Club 12' season? 9. Who did Rab bring in to be our substitute goalkeeper for several games during our Deefiant season? 10. Who was the striker Dave Farrell brought in on trial after Alex Rae had been sacked?

What a guy: Next manager IMO.

Chievo - They were the first foreign team I'd watched at Dens. We played them in a mid-season friendly on a Thursday night. At half-time I watched their subbie goalkeeper practice a goalkick and put it in the top corner of the goal at the other end of the pitch. Oliver Bierhoff signed for them weeks later IIRC. Always kept an eye out. FC Koln for obvious Dundee related reasons.

Losing to Taker 3 times at Mania isn't giving anyone a rub. It's inserting himself into the biggest match in Mania for his own ego. To be fair to him, he put on an absolute show in the 2 latter matches. Can't remember much of the first.

And Nicola Sturgeon endorsing it seen my opinion of her go right down.

Perth and Kinross have just shut all schools to staff as well as of 30 minutes ago.

I don't know of any pubs in Dundee that are open. There's been a suggestion on Twitter that a few are doing lock-ins but when pressed, the people mooring this don't know the pubs in question. Gonna be difficult to monitor such behaviour without a complete lockdown, which won't happen.

Shawn Michaels?

Pageaud being on the bench for Letheren is the travesty of a lifetime. Letheren could produce wonderful saves from time to time but wasn't really near good enough to be starting in the top flight. Pageaud loved a flashy save and wasn't immune from howlers, but gloves aff for penalties, and just a top notch keeper.

Jason Leitch is the absolute man.

Never said I have. Said living through it happening which is what we are currently doing. Never mentioned the end goal.

It's weird living through the biggest world event since WWII. What else comes close in terms of genuine worldwide pieces of history? Spanish Flu, Plague, WWI and possibly this round out the top 5 world events since our calendar was formed?

Fabian Caballero not technically count as Paraguayan? Eta: Born in Argentina, on the border checking wiki. Sure he identified as being from Paraguay when at us. Probably the same way people from Berwick choose whether they're Scottish or English.

Australia is our quickest hope of getting over this. Posted a link on how they'd destroyed the disease with existing drugs a few pages back (Using a HIV medication and a now defunct Malaria medication). We know the side effects of these medications so if they work well, we could be rapidly smashing this disease. They're now onto the human testing stage: https://www.uq.edu.au/news/article/2020/03/researchers-set-begin-clinical-trials-coronavirus-cure

Panic buying of paracetamol will have went through the roof. At a time where mental health will be low.
