Den Spark

Problems at full back for the Hibs game. Marshall who's suspended and Christie who's not.

Agree with that. Thought Buchan played well at centre back, actually. Calvin Colquhoun's been playing there recently and Greg Kirk has still to come back.

Wouldn't be too upset if McPake left, problem being that Nelms would be in charge of picking the next one.

Brechin Vics in fifth place, a team that lost 9-0 at home to Lochee United.

Was at the Dundee St James v Arbroath Vics game which finished 1-1. Decent crowd of about 70 saw a competitive game. Some decent players in the home team but a couple of hotheads could easily have seen them finish with nine men.

He played very well in the two friendlies. It'll be interesting to see if he gets a start in place of Lochee legend Greg Kirk today.

Lochee don't do programmes for league games. Possibly Carnoustie?

All credit to the guy for pronouncing Lochee correctly. Normally, English people say LOCK ee. He was actually standing outside Harp's new ground but there's no signage.

I believe season ticket holders were only given access last season because we weren't allowed into games. You normally have to subscribe to DeeTV.

Plastic pitch though.

Lochee Utd v St Anthony's 2.00 ko.

George made his debut for Dundee Under 20s when he was 15. Surprised they let him go. He's an absolute wizard. Must have been down to his size, though plenty of wee guys have made it professionally. Not the first wonder goal I've seen him score for Lochee.

Maybe, like me, they're pissed off at the club's decision to sell West Ham tickets to Foundation members only. I've been going to Dens for 54 years, have had a season ticket for about 40 and have contributed a tenner a month for 18 years to Dee4Life, but not a member of the Foundation so I can GTF. Couldn't be arsed even trying for Brora ticket.

The 'quality railway sleepers' were my Press Box. No longer.

Just got my new season ticket today and turned down the refund, 64 quid I think it was. Big hand to the boy next to me who turned down £100. True Dark Blue!

No idea. Heard it was a rebranding of Fintry Amateurs, similar to what's going on with Downfield and Kirkton Ams.

Thought they were to be called Dundee St James.

He won virtually every Player Of The Year vote going.

TWO seasons and, as you say, class.

Interested to hear that there's a proposed new junior team, Dundee St James, to be playing out of Fairfield Park, former home of St Josephs.

He's on loan from Kilmarnock.

Once went to 135 Dundee games on the trot, home and away. Now totally scunnered and, after 54 years, although I've got a season ticket that gives me DeeTV access, am going to give the match at Dens a miss tomorrow night. That's where I'm at.

Got handed his arse on Sportsound. Even had to resort to the childish 'wee team' jibe at the end.

Haven't seen anything of him since he was carried off injured at Forfar in a reserve game. I know he's back playing but don't know how much the injury has affected him.

Always liked the Arbroath centre back pairing of Little and O'Brien. Little's not the tallest for a central defender but he reminds me of Barry Smith.
