Would like to draw Annan - never played them before and some mates of mine from down south have formed an attachment to them, so would be nice to play them. If not, then a game against one of the foreign interlopers would be good...
Be prepared to get kicked off the park. That's the way they play. They had some really big lads last season when I saw them playing at Elgin.

I remember telling Morten fans he looked a good signing only because of that game lol. It also featured the most egregious hospital pass I've ever seen from Sean Mackie (if McMullan doesn't rip him to shreds on Tuesday I'll be disappointed), as well as Harry Sharp's first game for us in impromptu fashion. What a weird game that was.
Yep. The other problem was that Elgin had a fit Shane Sutherland playing for them. It's only injuries that have prevented him from being a top class striker. He did really well for Caley last season before he got injured again in the play offs.

Would give us a chance of breaking our 100% losing record against them, I suppose.
To be fair to Dundee, in that 1-2 loss to Elgin at Dens, it was about the only occasion Rabin Omar managed a shot on target in his time playing for Elgin; yet he scored an absolute belter of a goal.

Try to hold your excitement in lads, but the draw for the Challenge Cup 3rd round in which we enter is on Monday 29th August at 13:00 on the SPFL YouTube channel.
Elgin away please. It's about the only chance I'll get to see Dundee play in person this season due to work commitments.

Aaron Drinan the latest player to be mentioned on the other forum. Another former Ayr player. Currently with Leyton Orient. Played 40 games and scored 13 goals and they paid a fee for him when they signed him. Also has another year on his deal so unsure of the legitimacy but he's a brute type IIRC.
Thanks Ludo. It's nice to hear some rumours, even if it turns out to be nothing.

I’m not sure which regional league Queen’s Park are in but they had a good crack at the big boys yesterday and they should survive this season.
Thank you.
I take it you are on the wind up? They are a Scottish Championship side.

I have it on good authority that Jack Ross was in Carnoustie yesterday.
Panmure can't be looking for a new manager?

James McPake reported as joining Dunfermline today.
What are we getting? He took you up the play off to the Premiership right? Should be more than capable at League One level surely?
You will pass the ball about the back for ages then someone will punt an aimless ball up to a midget striker. You will lose the game due to the defence being badly organised and McPake will claim you dominated the game and failed to take your chances. The players will be allowed to be lazy on the pitch and fail to press the opposition. Sorry to be pessimistic but it was torture watching Dundee under his management.

And I’m sure Fraserburgh are glad of that now having to travel to Kilmarnock.
Elgin are having to travel to Ayr and Annan. Utterly disgraceful to put that sort of financial pressure on small clubs.

Saints staying up for me.
Why would they do that just for you?

The papers claimed he was "in the running" back in 2009 and it went no further than that.
A great attempt at trying to convince yourself it's a good appointment though, no wonder those in charge know they can half arse it if fans are going to do all the hard work convincing everyone they've done a good job.
Where did I try to convince myself it's a good appointment? Did you even read my post? Good grief!

I prefer looking at evidence rather than hype. McGhee has done well at most clubs when he first comes in then it all goes pear shaped the following season when he's time to sign his own players. We were never going to get Jack Ross in my opinion so, although I'm a bit underwhelmed by the McGhee appointment, his record really isn't as bad as some people make out. I'm going to reserve judgement, as he and his team will hopefully be able to prevent the all too frequent lazy performances we have seen under McPake's tenure. If he manages to get the new manager bounce he achieved earlier in his career I will be delighted. This is a man who almost got the Celtic job a number of years ago so he must have something about him. Arbroath signed an aging manager not long after his previous club had sacked him for poor performances and he's doing a great job.

I remember us winning 1-0 in Perth when Thomas Konrad was outstanding in defence. We stole the game that day. Funnily enough, Sweeney reminds me of Konrad a wee bit. Running into Konrad was like running into a brick wall, he was as hard as nails and Sweeney is similar and a lot taller. Hopefully he has another good game if he plays. He was very good against Rangers.

It's hilarious the vitriol that some Celtic fans still spew whenever his name comes up. Seen one claim that Hendry is the single worst player to ever put on a Celtic shirt.
What none of them seem to realise is that when Rodgers threw him in at the deep end in CL fixtures he'd only played about as much 1st team football as your typical 18 year old. It's no bloody wonder he struggled. It's always been blindingly obvious there was a good player in there if he was given time and treated properly, two things that absolutely did not happen in Glasgow.
I have to agree with that. There aren't many Scottish centre halves with his technical ability. He's a top player, no doubt about it.

Dundee players must get blinded by a hell of a lot more than just Tangerine in many other stadiums than Tannadice going by your results.
If thats the excuse you're going with anyway.
There's always one. lol

The BNBs are absolutely frothing for this one which usually means we're going to smash them.
However I can't see where the 6 goals we're going to score are coming from this time.
You could say I'm shitting it tbf.
The Dundee players seem to get blinded by all the day glow orange/tangerine when they play at Tannadice and are usually well below their best but I'm hoping they actually do themselves justice this time and at least make it difficult for you guys.

The lack of pace was more to do with the fact that when McMullan is out we don't tend to play as quickly, and the passing and movement is more slow. Wasn't impressed with Jakubiak in the first half on Saturday (or second for that matter) but first half he was jogging back inside the first half hour when marshall was getting attacked down our left hand side. McMullan and Charlie back would be a big bonus but even if Adam is fit I would still go with McGhee Byrne and McGowan. Again, harsh on Anderson but even though he has more energy than McGowan i think McGowan is more creative and would be better starting.
I would agree with that, just a different interpretation of wording. I would describe what you are saying as an increased tempo rather than pace. The slow tempo during the first half of last season contributed to so many of our poor results during that period. After the Ayr home defeat the tempo changed dramatically and results improved.

Lets see if we can surpass eight goals this time, hopefully with Dundee coming out on top for a change. A 2-7 scoreline would be great. We are overdue a freak result.

I assume players from both teams will be taking the knee ahead of the game in the essential fight against racism.
I’m sure there will be some who dismiss it as ‘gesture politics’ but I think it’s an important gesture that keeps the issue in the public eye and reinforces both clubs opposition to such discrimination.
Dundee take a stand against racism, they don't kneel. No idea why.

I agree with every word of this. He's done well with Anderson and good results for 5 months at the turn of this year but I've not been convinced overall. Defence aside, we still need pace in midfield and up front. Glaringly obvious how much we lack pace when McMullan isn't in the team
I see where you are coming from re McMullan but not sure about a lack of pace being glaringly obvious. Granted we miss McMullan's pace but Jakubiak, McGhee, Anderson and McCowan aren't exactly slow coaches, neither is Cammy. McGhee was picked to mark Boyle in the Hibs game because he is pretty quick, albeit not as fast as Boyle. McMullan's pace is exceptional and there aren't many footballers around with his kind of speed from a standing start. There were plenty of examples of our midfield tracking back to provide cover when Livi were on the break and catching up with their opposite numbers. I'm not convinced they would be able to do that if they lacked pace.

Livi will be the happier of the two sides. Another draw at home is poor from Dundee's point of view. That's three home games where we have been the better side and only three points to show from it. In this league you have to score when you are on top. Mind you, that's the type of game we regularly lost when McCann and McIntyre were the managers. The only bonus was Griffiths getting 90 minutes. He clearly isn't match fit.

What's the odds on Butcher sending McMullan ten feet in the air the first time he touches the ball? That's if Shaun Byrne doesn't flatten him first. I can see this being a right feisty encounter. I hope they've picked a referee who can handle the occasion.
0 -
Most bookies have Dundee as slight favourites for this one which is how I see it. Livi have had a difficult start although losing at home to Motherhell must have hurt. There's not much to choose between the sides outside the Old Firm although Hearts, Hibs and Aberdeen will win more than they lose.

On the subject of the derby, how many potentially career ending/life threatening challenges are we guessing Callum Butcher gets away with before getting a booking? I'll go for eight.
He'll probably get dumped on his arse by Shaun Byrne in the first minute and get carried off injured with the tango brigade going nuts because Byrne got away with a yellow card.
