Will anyone be able to remind me how many derbies Ian McCall won when managing the DABS? I can never remember....

Are you not doing first to score as the earliest goal in all of the first matches?? So, if someone scores today earlier than the pars managed last night, that’ll be the winner??

Did see a pic on twitter of him outside Dens with a kid wearing this season's kit. Don't know if it was photoshopped or what...

Sad, but True (as Metallica might say)

That's a guarantee that he will, at some point in the next three years, sign for either of the Bigot Brothers for 75p and a packet of polos after a season of unsettling transfer rumours....

AFAIK, the BBC Scotland channel is available on Freeview with all the other free-to-air channels, your receiver just needs to have been re-tuned since it started...

Says on the BBC website that Johnson is off because of injury... Please don't tell me we've bought another perma-crock????

The agony and ecstasy of looking at the P&B forum list: Ecstasy - Dundee FC topic has the "Hot" icon next to it - must be another signing, surely??!! Agony - RandomBore is the latest poster - yet more hopeful "May might still sign for the fermers" pish. Oh well, back to work then, I suppose....

Thanks for that. Like you say, losing in regulation would be dicey, but we should know pretty much all the results before we kick off too (there is one other game on Sunday, I believe).

Clearly, if we won on Sunday (either in 90 mins or on pens) then we qualify as group winners. Can anyone work out how we stand if we lose (either in 90 mins or on pens) regarding best placed second team?

DABS. They are DABS, always were, always will be.

No easy games at this stage....

Does anyone remember the time when this thread was for discussing the ongoing disappointment and agony that is following Dundee?? I'm misty-eyed remembering that dim and distant past...

Probably a decent wide player too, IMHO...

At the very top. Sorry.

The vital role of punctuation...

You can actually buy a pot noodle there???!!! What a strange place...

So, this is now a dress rehearsal for the Betfred Cup final - gives it a bit more spice...

Absolutely disgusting that the DABS can put people's safety at risk by playing in a dilapidated, crumbling, dangerous stadium that has clearly seen better days...

Any opinions from those at the game as to how the new signings looked in competitive action?? Or on formation/tactics??

Already booked accommodation in Glasgow for the 7th - 8th December for the final* * There is absolutely no way this quote will come back to haunt me...

Great start to the season - listening to Off the Ball and then they cut to .... GOLF!!!!! We will get updates from the football, apparently. What a crappy let-down. (Although, going by our recent cup history, maybe not having minute-by-minute coverage is a good thing...)

Joe McBride. Lovely winner in the 4-3 game at Dens, loads of skill but never really fulfilled his potential.

Just over one week to go until the matches start, and there's been no posts on this topic for almost a month????!!!! So, the other teams are all shiiiite, Dundee will skelp everyone 7-0 and Davies will play for three minutes against Cove before breaking his leg (again).

In the doon derby season (15-16), Hemmings, Stewart & Loy scored 45 goals between them, Kane top scoring with 25. Since then, in three whole seasons, the team as a whole, has scored 142, with 14 of those being scored by Loy, Stewart and Hemmings before they left. Our top scorers for each season have had 12, 9 & 8 respectively (the 12 was Moussa (!), thanks to the LC games). That's how long we have been looking for a striker, that's how negligent our recent managers have been. (Figures from Wikipedia and include all competitive games, not just league.) I hope that Nelson will be banging them in, but agree we need at least two more strikers than can actually score. I also have to ask why we let Henvey & Scott go without either giving them a crack at the Championship, or having replacements ready to bring in...
