Hello All, just passing through. Could someone point me in the direction of The Big Dundee team thread ?
0 -
I hope McCann has ear plugs because if things aren't going well he's going to get savaged by the mainstand mob.
He could always come over and sit with us in the south enclosure. I imagine that would go well...2 -
Kamara is a young player who may well become a really good player but we will have to agree to differ about his current contribution to the team. In my opinion he is not nearly as good as some think he is. He’s had 3 honking games on the bounce.
Spud, Can we at least agree that, at the moment he is head and shoulders a better, more worthwhile contributor to Dundee than Spence ?0 -
I really, really like Kamara, but I was asked by a mate yesterday what does he bring to the team? He doesn't bring goals, he doesn't really bring assists, he doesn't stop us from conceding.
He's an amazing talent - but he doesn't have the impact he should have on games. We quite regularly get overrun in midfield.
We could do with a Scott Allan/GGH/lazy b*****d but creative genius in our midfield right now tbh.
Can't really disagree too much with this. However, the 97th minute winner assist against Hamilton suggests otherwise.
We do require a central midfield ball winner in the Bommer or Thompson or Cammy Fraser mould.
That would free up Kamara and wait for it McGowan to play their natural game and produce.0 -
This and with the squad he's amassed I'm struggling to see what he can really do to change things, play all his central defenders with a two man midfield and lone striker and try to shitfest 0-0's until the end of the season?
Try to get a few penalties.0 -
Were you there?
No Chick, sorry Spud, to my eternal shame for the first time this season, I wasn't.
For that reason, I felt commenting on your assertion that Spence is a better option than Kamara is nonsense.
For example, when can you remember Kamara giving a pass to one of our defenders as bad as Spencer's to Waddel last week resulting in a goal against us ?
We're you perchance at Fir Park earlier this season where Spence after 60 minutes good play eventually ran out of steam and dropped a ball to the Jags attack resulting in... guess what?
I don't think Spence is a bad player, far from it. In fact he has the potential to be a great player, but let's be honest here, Kamara has become a full international whilst with US while Spence is still a 'bit' player (not that if he fulfils his potential he won't do this)
Kamara, as far as I can recall had a dreadful match at Pittodrie.
He is probably one of the cleanest tacklers I've seen in over 40 years and his ability to run with his head up and see a pass is superb.
I don't have a stiffy for him. He has to the best of my recollection never had a shot at goal in a Dundee top.
Let that sink in.
Probably the most gifted ball player we have in our team, to my recollection has never had a shot at goal....
I did not intend to have a go at You personally Spud. My issue was with your (probably exasperated) comment regarding Spence and Kamara

Glen Kamara was garbage tonight. Flatters to deceive. I’d rather have Spence on tbh.

Steven is a Corker of a signing!
I have no doubt that Caulker will fill in the gap left by Hendry; he'll help Dundee seal a place in the top-six.
Let's take a moment to reflect on the events that led to Dundee gambling on Steven Caulker...
The Hated, The Rated & The Immolated
The Triumvirate Transfer Saga:
– | Hamilton scammed out of £1million, after investing in a ‘Nigerian prince’.
– | Craig Gordon attempts to end Efe Ambrose's career by diving into him; Gordon ends his own career by diving into Ambrose.
– | The Nigeria international receives a lump sum – presumably compensation from Craig Gordon?
– | Celtc want a backup keeper; the Second-Hand Hoops throw pennies at the Wishing 'Well.
– | Motherwell reject pittance pennies; Scott Bain's treacherous ears begin to burn... A transfer saga is afoot.
– | Rumour of Bain’s desire to turnaround on a Hibs deal filters through to The Chubby Baller: master of turnarounds... The two collude on moves away.
Spoiler
– | Snake Allan & Rat Bain begin conversing in ‘Snake Nihongo’ (their own ‘emoji’ variant of Pig Latin)...
– | Bain vanishes.
– | Jack Hendry joins Celtc for a record fee, following a transfer triangle being agreed between three clubs.
– | Rat Bain reappears, signing a Celtc contract in a Hibs kit; the Jambo moves from Dundee - again. (More clubs than a Hibernian-branded pack of cards.)
– | Snake Allan shows that he has no backbone by slithering back to Hibs.
– | Tangerine-headed Simon Murray heads to Dundee as part of the deal.
- | McCann pulls rabbit out of the hat, by signing Steven Caulker on an 18-month deal.
- | Caulker's wages revealed to have been covered by anonymous donor.
- | Hibernian's Nigerian Prince reveals that he has spent his 'compensation' money.
tl;dr
Thank You...Thank You...

And your Boss is happy for you to write this during work hours?

Let's step up to the challenges Steven faces,and the supporters rehabilitation too.
Too many times in here have we heard of sections of the support getting on the backs of certain players the moment a pass goes awry or things don't go to plan.
We have a player here who in the normal scheme of things would ordinarily grace Dens only in a pre season friendly. He has issues and the Boss has sold him on the idea that playing for us can help him overcome these and bring him to a point of finally reaching his potential.
My fear is that WE, the supporters behave in typical troglodyte fashion and get on his case.
Please, if you haven't, take the time to read the Guardian article and spread the word.
Who knows by helping Steven put to bed his demons we may actually assist in conquering our own (COXY AND SECTIONS OF SOUTH ENCLOSURE TAKE NOTE)12 -
Maybe but the fact Allan wasn’t starting suggests McCann thought he wasn’t up to 90 minutes. To quote DeeJango, and I agree, he was blowing out his arse after 30 minutes.
Who knows, but he’s gone [emoji26][emoji26][emoji26]
Believe he played 90 minutes for Hibs today (possibly subbed late on) only going on the interview on the radio while going home from Dens today. Interview went somewhere along the lines of.
"Scott Allen was tremendous today Neil?"
"Aye, and we got him fer fuxx all. Dundee...what are they like, Jeez"

Ultimately, we want him to do well for Dundee's sake and he wants to do well for his sake. As much as he seems annoying, he also seems like the sort of player fans love in their own team but hate in a rival. People have been in much worse situations and won over the fans and hopefully he does the same.
Could he mibbe dye his hair Dark Blue ?0 -

Totally agree. As a 30 yo central defender ODea should be able to read the game and anticipate what his move should be. A consequence of not being able to do this has resulted in a horrendous amount of yellow/red cards and the goals conceded because of these.

O’Dea has slowed down massively in the last year, let alone since his last international call up.
When he under hit the ball back to Parish and Griffiths nipped in and almost scored O’Dea went off on one to Parish. O’Dea had plenty of time to control and release the ball yet blamed Parish who is still settling in. Is that the way a player with the experience you’ve highlighted behave?
This.
O'Dea really boiled my piss there. If ever a man should have held up his hand and apologised for his error it was there. What did O'Dea do ? Ripped Parish a new one in some poor attempt to cover for his own dickery. Pathetic.2 -
We're after Bain.
Time to let the cat out of the bag.
Day after the Rangers match I flew to Dublin. On that mornings flight were a number of Dundee players (and some St Johnstone ones)(although not together with the heroes)
Bain ended sitting on his own at the back of the flight (TBF. Another Dee was sitting on his own so...) can't help getting the feeling that the other players were not too chuffed he was there.
'Course this could be sh... and I'm just stirring it.
Sent a text to a few mates with a scenario...
Named the Dees on the flight, suggested a Munich type disaster and assumed I'd survive.
Question, who should I save from the Dundee players ?
Deliberately haven't given any other names but the errant goalie ( It may have been out with the knowledge or permission of the boss).
So assuming whoever you want on that flight. Who should I have saved, or not?0 -
Got some great prospects at right wing back. Now's the time to see how the Spaniard is at left back. Still can't believe we've not won that game comfortably yesterday.
Not yet. I felt Holt was one of our best players (again) yesterday. He still has more than his fair share of boo boys though.
I felt physically defiled leaving Firhill yesterday.
Like Hamilton away at the start of the season, if we don't take our chances then there's always a chance of a dry bumming in the end.0 -
Well that was exciting.
Anyway I've been trying to work out how much we will make out of our crematorium and other stuff. The crem has got to be good 1/2 a million a year, with all the wakes and the other stuff another half mill. A million a year extra in the Dark Blue coffers. Lovely jubbly.

I don't really get why we'd want to take something relatively new to the new stadium. Sure, something that's part of the 'original' Dens would be a great idea.
Just lift the pitch to the new site0 -
I think you are misunderstanding my posts. I've said I trust the board at present, I still have concerns but considering our past I think it'd be bizarre if anyone didn't.
I agree, it is the much smarter option financially but it's going to cost them a hell of a lot of cash, which they admittedly have, but they won't be doing it for the good of their health. They will expect a return which is fair enough, but I don't think they'll get it considering the work and money it's gonna take for this development.
If part of the long term plan is the future sell on of home reared talent that has the facilities to flourish at Nou Campie then clearly long term that would realise Keys Capital's ambition.
If you build it, they will come...0 -
Mental that Dundee fans are once again scrambling to hand over money to a stranger on the internet
Wouldn't want one. This is just fodder to the Jobby sleeves that say some Dees are more interested in them than their own team.
Just like the dayglo post a couple before you .
Get over it guys, They are an irrelevance to Dundee F.C. And I for one hope it stays that way for many years.
Would hate to see anyone arrested for wearing this.
Now about the game on Saturday...0 -
Monopoly money a wouldn't even waste that on use, when use went into administration was brilliant, own fault buying players use couldn't even afford, and use still did nothing ok use scrapped a top 6 finish welldone but half the Argentina players were on the Ching [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
Your posts are the written equivalent of your Jobby sleeved shirt...
They hurt my eyes.
Stop plunking skail and get an ejukashun sunny (sic).0 -
Why all ticket for the South enclosure. Utterly baffling. Got to the gate at quarter to 3 only to then limp around on my gimpy leg to the shop. Guy at the ticket counter then blames me for arriving too late to the football and says "it's been all ticket for these games for the last 5 years"
Yeah, but why ? Was this going to be a sell out ?
Raith were able to allow us to pay at the gate, Cowdenbeath will be the same. Only at Dens can we make an absolute crunt of it.
p.s. Why was the Bolton friendly not all ticket ?
Seething [emoji36]0 -
Based on what exactly? Thats two Dees been outed as thieves in the space of the last month with the other one being the guy that scammed dozens of people out of money for the Scotland vs England tickets. Both of them are bell-ends but dont see how that has anything to do with United to be honest
And your point is caller ?
I would merely prefer that I didn't have this man sitting anywhere close to me at Dens (since I don't know him this is a possibility)
My feelings towards him are similar to my feelings towards a DAB therefore I would prefer he sat with them.
However as this is a football forum, I try not to get too excited by the banter and I would suggest you try the same. After all I was one of the duped and if I can be pragmatic about this and not too upset....0 -
I'm aware my word is pretty worthless at the moment but all refunds will be paid in full ASAP
I've got a full body minter over this - it's £425 and I've managed to make myself look a thief for that - it's not acceptable regardless of amount and I'll have it resolved as soon as I get the refund requests / pm's
Full body minter shouldn't cover it. You were a regular poster and then chose to disappear for a year with our money.
I would rather the money goes to Dens youth than receive anymore communication with you.
If you want a little more, why not register yourself as a charity and get gift aid from my contribution ! Now that would be REAL scamming.
As I suggest, Tannadice is the place for you.0

Just a thought, if you could mould the best of Moussa and Beaker into one player you would have a striker who can hold the ball up and run around a lot....and not score. This is a no from me to either.
