was kidding on, was a funny read at times though
Haven't seen it in years. Back in the day with Ootdoor, Shuntz, King Dunger, Napps and Rio Dee, not to mention the melon that was Bob Jameson( AKA Deetox) it was a bit of a laugh

Aldous Huxley taught Eric Arthur Blair (Orwell) French at university conniving scallys
Not a lot of people know that. ( I certainly didn't). But in this case the pupil mastered the teacher. Fascinating fact Oyster Catcher

Brave New World.
An interesting concept, thought provoking philosophical stuff. Bit Meh if I’m honest though.
I read it not so long ago. It has a reputation as a seminal novel and is often promoted in these lists of "100 books you should read before you die" along side the likes of "1984" . Like you I found it a bit meh, in fact a bit childish...and as a prophecy of the future as seen from the 30s or 40's it has proven to nowhere near as accurate as "1984"

It's the official Dee feed and it's only because it says "New Dee" that I am excited. I reserve the right to be fully disappointed as soon as the signing is announced, though...
It'll be the lad Reilly won't it?

I think everyone’s aware that a fee might be due. But we’ve paid a few development fees in recent years. If McPake wants him and Fisher wants to come, it’ll happen. I think people sometimes overestimate these development fees. If Fisher is happy to sign a 3 year deal, the club will be comfortable paying a small fee and agree a sell on % with Dundee.
Hopefully that all works out for him. He played for us a few times last season, mainly as a right back but it is difficult to imagine him featuring in the premier league (although given the current state of our squad who knows). The best case for him is that he gets the move and develops his career playing regularly for you.

Anyone else watch the review thing with McPake and Steven Mill on youtube. When they look at pictures of celebrations, he mentions Sam Fisher and comments along the lines of “he was still a Dundee player at the time” then has to backtrack and say “of course, he still is”… certainly came across as if that’s a done deal. Expect that to be announced early June, once his Dundee contract expires.
It is my understanding that all the players who came through our youth system and had played in the first team were offered a new contract. That'd mean that if Fisher signs for somebody else once his current contract expires Dundee would be due a development fee.

CU Jimmy no tears salty or otherwise. Plain fact is that some of your fellow fans are morons. Are you going to start a collection for the repair of the pitch?
So so salty. As if you'd have being moroning on about flares had your lot won.

I hope that SFC will be seeking compensation from the SPFL for insisting that more Dundee hooligans be allowed to attend the match. What were the police and stewards doing to stop the flares being thrown and damaging the pitch, the mini pitch invasion after they scored a goal and the major pitch invasion at the end? Presumably DFC will be getting fined.
Your salty tears are pathetic. We could have played it without Dundee fans getting tickets and without your lot giving out tickets for free. Why not just limit it to 500 people ( supposing you could find 500 fans) just like the later stages of the pandemic.

'Controlled the game'
Want to watch this again on iPlayer but the b*****ds haven't uploaded it yet. Anyone any idea when it usually goes up?
At least he's consistent. We've played them five times, won four and drawn one and that's been his reaction every time.

Well done. I'd not been in Arbroath for ages until my Daughter moved there two years ago. Surprised and please to see so many young kids with Arbroath tops and kit and not the obvious "Big Teams" merch. Great to see folks supporting their local team. Relegation would have damaged this progression. Good luck for next season.

If so still a twelve month you'd give your right hand for considering you've not appeared in the top league this millennium.

" and for being ruthless when we started to collapse."
The statistics say that we had 13 attempts at goal with 7 on target (compared with your 4-0). So not really ruthless at all. Your tears are salty and delightful

Again what’s quite evident when playing Dundee is how subs impact games. Today none of our attack clicked whatsoever yet we had nobody on the bench that could change the game. Longridge is past it, Healy has just came in from arthurlie and Williamson is still finding his way since coming from cambuslang. You could only turn to Henderson to potentially help and he only joined this week.
In every league encounter this season, at least one of Dundee’s substitutes have scored a goal against us. That tells its own story on how crucial squad depth is if you want to win this league. I’d obviously adore to win the league but we’d get absolutely hounded with this squad in the premiership.
"Squad depth is crucial" We had six on the bench, you had nine.

I'm joking. I would have picked him myself if I'd been convinced that he would get an obituary in a major media outlet.

Footballing legend Pele of Brazil has died aged 82, truly a ground breaking talent and influence on the world stage.
Pictured below, tangling with a fellow footballing legend.
RIP number 10.
This was a game at the Kingdome in Seattle in the late 70s between Seattle Sounders and NY Cosmos. I'll give you a guess who scored the only goal of the game (clue, it wasn't Pele)

Invernesians, please advise on the best curry house in your fair city.
thank you.Was in this one earlier this year and it was pretty decent. It's in Church st so it is central

Mom for me today was Williamson, he put in a hell of a shift and played a magnificent ball through for Rudden. Mc Mullan behind the front two excites driving at the opposition but it is fair to say his final ball often leaves a lot to be desired. The central back three were effective with Ashcroft being best of the trio. French was uncomfortable at RWB and really contributed little going forward. Byrne was effective without being flash. Why Kerr gets so much hate from our support is beyond me. He's not the best full back we've ever had but he's far from the worst. Lawlor was surprisingly good, made two great saves and seemed more comfortable coming for crosses than usual and his distribution is good. Sheridan was a shock choice to start but given his performance it wasn't a shock that he got hooked after 45 mins , honestly get rid, Rudden at least puts himself about. As for Osei Yaw the least said the better. Hamilton can consider themselves unlucky. On another day they may have gone home with a draw. However their style of play and general demeanour isn't generally appealing. Made me laugh to see themcomplain about Lawlor time wasting at the end when their keeper had been doing it almost from the kick off.

Well he has been offered a deal at Dundee that's for sure. We've been announcing signings/ re-signings at the rate of one per day but he must be about the last of those who were offered to either sign or reject a new contract. I can't see him getting much game time so it wouldn't surprise me to see him take up a two year contract and then go out on loan.
