Sweeney's debut, interestingly (or perhaps not), was in the same game that Joe Shaughnessy scored for us!

Maybe they haven't been able to get all these new signings on the phone yet...
Just wait for some seething Jambo to bring up our inability to send emails as well.

What an incredibly underwhelming day it has been so far. Must be waiting for a beer o'clock Messi announcement to kick start the weekend.

They just don't make them like Gowser anymore. A legend at the club that demanded standards and was there with us through thick and thin. We were there for him too, mind you.
He was there for us...apart from the evening matches when he was tagged. Not sure we'll ever have someone missing from the squad for the same reason again. Impossible not to love the mad b*****d.

Hands up if you're looking forward to signing again...

This smells to me like a Nelms/Strachan decision rather than TD who has only been in the door 24 hours. How could he have come to a conclusion on who to re-sign that quickly, especially on a 2 year deal?!

Looking forward to the derbies next season.
Don't say things like that - you'll only encourage the Tractor Humpers to consider the games between us as a derby.
I am actually a little sad that there won't be any actual derbies next year because they're generally good fun and a solid money spinner but United being relegated is incredibly amusing.

Some pretty uninspiring names on there.

McCall and Neilson as co-managers with Coyle as assistant and Nelms on transfers would be the ultimate nightmare scenario. I still wouldn't put it past Jonny Boy Nelms to come out with some mental set up and consign us to relegation before this Premier League season has even finished.

I'm a bit surprised that Covid is still being used in this way. I know it's sport and any respiratory issues will be curtains for their bid but in any other walk of life the guidance seems to be that even if you test positive you go about your business unless you feel ill and can't work.
Exactly this - really don't understand the double-standards unless there are rules specific to Italy. I've got a colleague off work at the moment with COVID but there's not a chance that I'd voluntarily stick that brush up my nose again unless I absolutely had to!

McDaid away to Falkirk on loan it would seem. I quite liked him as a player but perhaps the Premiership is a step above where he is at the moment. Regardless, no bad words to say about him from me.

Wouldn't it be marvellous if we could get a massive screen in front of the Derry and charged something like £10 to watch it?

To give it a positive slant, with Charlie going off with a twinge on Saturday maybe it's not the worst timing.
Also a good opportunity for Gowser to reacquaint LG29 with the best nightlife that Dundee has to offer. Imagine the scenes when Jocky lays his eyes on him as he saunters back through the door at the Fairmuir...

I look forward to the return of the Real Leigh Griffiths blog.
I've just reopened it and had forgotten how teckle it actually was. Work for the day has most definitely ended now.

I'm just curious why you think football clubs are a special case and different to other employers. If the lad was a brickie he wouldn't be prevented from bricklaying even if there were females employed by the same company. Any measures taken are only going to effect the employee in question, it's not like anyone else at the club is having their routine upset or being prohibited from certain areas just because there's an employee with a criminal history.
All employers have the option 'not to sign sex offenders', it doesn't necessarily mean it's the correct thing to do, or what's best for society as a whole.
No one pays (at least not that I'm aware of) or idolises bricklayers. Neither do they buy the shirts of the company that employs the bricklayer. Basically and in the nicest possible sense sense, no one really notices bricklayers and what they get up to in their private or working lives (other than the regular appearance of bricks being stuck together).

'Strange lengths'?
It's not as if he's going to have to be accompanied 24/7 by armed police or monitored remotely. He trains, he plays, he goes home afterwards, is treated by club staff in an appropriate setting and at an appropriate time. It's not overly complicated or particularly awkward to implement.
Presumably you are opposed to sex offenders being employed under any circumstances?
How do you deal with an end of season awards dinner where the entire squad is in attendance along with members of the public? Or a calendar signing at the shop? Or any other perfectly reasonable scenario where players and supporters interact?
We shouldn't put paying, long-term supporters of the club in a position where they feel uncomfortable or, worse, terrified. If he'd shown remorse and learned from it then it might be a different story but, to me, this just seems like a typical "I'm a footballer and I'm going to do as I please" story.

Can't really believe some of the stuff that is being posted here. Imagine this was your younger sister, girlfriend, mum, friend or anyone else that you know that this lecherous creep forced himself upon. While it's by no means rape, it was not consented (from what I've read anyway) and no one deserves to be the victim of this. The guy may very well be a cracking player but I think we'd be insane to sign him, especially given his lack of remorse. Aside from the feelings of any female staff at Dens, how would female supporters, especially those that have been the victim of something similar, feel when he's in the team?
I get the point that Gowser has a record (as did Benedictus and Gallagher) but society deems sexual offences to be more heinous than assault, something I'm inclined to agree with. I can only hope that McPake and Nelms see sense on this one and recognise that the risk is far greater than any potential reward.

A possibly Glorious winger/striker, mayhaps? Where from?
Edit: Clicked, interesting.
Clues as to where to click?

I'd be more than happy with finishing 10th and a decent cup run rather than being binned from the cups early and reaching the heady heights of 7th/8th. It might make for a bleak season but the only aim has to be survival which I think is absolutely achievable.

Their new strip is particularly disgusting - saw a wee clip on the news and it's not as bad as their terrible away kit from last year, but it is fucking awful.
Just one of the many reasons I'm glad I'm not a DAB...
It's a tough gig for any kit designer when the base colour is a garish orange but to consider mixing in some random streaks is almost taking the piss. That said, it's still not got much on the downright catastrophe of a jersey that was the 2017/18 "jobbie sleeve" home jersey.

The first of many magnificent memories that season. Our first look at Fab Cab and he was simply breathtaking in the early part of that season. The travelling support that day was mighty impressive. Two great goals especially the run from the half way line in the last minute by Artero. Ah f**k it, I'll shut up now. Take 6 minutes out of your day and watch it for yourself.
Few things that struck me about this match...
1. The incredible number of times that the posts were hit by both teams.
2. Artero in his prime was some boy. When he got going down the wing he was almost unstoppable. I remember one match against the DABs in particular when he was making runs in front of the Derry for fun.
3. I'd forgotten how fiery De Marchi was. Almost constantly looking for a scrap and occasionally remembering that was a central defender.
4. Fab Cab. So good.

Any idea whether Los Mexicanos will be playing this evening? Going to be quite a reality check for them going from 39 degrees on the Gulf of Mexico to 15 degrees and rain in Bonnyrigg but the pleasure of pulling on the pulling on the camisa azul oscuro will more than compensate.
