This Charming Man

Excellent, see you all soon, counting the sleeps. Best regards

Please don't tell me he was successful with the recent Deewok vacancy application? Best regards

Probably the best one Martin Woods and previously Kevin Gomis could hope for in their last professional footballing career circumstances, imho. No disrespect intended, however all in the past for us all now, thankfully. Best regards

Last two seasons or so, we could not even compete with that club, let alone get a positive performance and result. Have faith in McPake, he knows like we do, we still lack strength in depth regarding the current pool. The additional presence of Kane Hemmings today and the game was probably ours. He plays his cards close he does, expect other interesting arrivals. Exciting times!!! Best regards

I have to assume by the sharpness of your crayon you're not the usual local sports journalist. In fairness you would appear to have other assets though. I'm surprised any scaffolding was actually required to paint over the cracks in the structural support beams when you were obviously available. Best regards

Indeed, There Is a Light That Never Goes Out, kindred spirit Shadow my man. He knows so much about these things. Best regards

Speaking of which, merely thinking aloud and my opinion. It really would not surprise me in the least if Davies and Curran have gotten the nod that Jim McIntyre and Billy Dodds are about to re-appear at another club in the near future. Why else would they both seek to terminate and ask for a settlement on what are probably quite decent contracts unless new pastures are in the offing? Anyway, merely a thought. Best regards (except to those named above)

Thought you would all appreciate this Wiki gem on this glorious Hemmings Day. Apologies in advance for poor snap, screenshot decided not to work when actually required for once. Best regards

CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER

Morning Spud I think that advert was probably around 1984/85 season, not long after Archie took over. Re tall striker, too early for Graham Harvey, I recall we swapped Colin Harris for him, maybe thinking about a young Colin Hendry, he initially played up front around that time. Reckon feller at the rear on the right is Walker McCall, however there was a lot of big, big hair going on in the 80's!!!! Best regards

Yeah, spot on young guy is indeed Derek McWilliams. Guy next to Geddes is Iain MacDonald. Colin Harris next to John Brown and not Vince Mennie at the rear, I'm sure that's Walker McCall. Not Keith Wright either though, I think that's Lex Richardson. Some great characters!!! Best regards

Oh dear, I do fear for the well-being of the young man with the soft hands and chewed finger-nails. Perhaps there's not much more of note between his ears, lol. Best regards

Tacky, cheap and extremely embarrassing on a professional level, or indeed any level for that matter. More a reflection on Jim McIntyre as a person and his apparent level of intellect I'm afraid. I'm sure nearly all right-minded Dundee United followers would be equally embarrassed, this fellow is not bred and reared with our east coast blood. Best regards

Well done that man, happy days. Another Season Ticket required in time for the new stadium. Best regards and wishes to you all.

I had not attended since the Brechin game due to commitments and was not sure what to expect today following the reports from the Peterhead game last weekend. However I was very impressed with today's overall team performance. Due to the small TV induced attendance where we were in the South Enclosure you could even hear Jack Hamilton constantly scream instructions to his back-line in the second half. Given last seasons' performances this has to be positive, actual COMMUNICATION. That would appear to be the James McPake main basic remit, TEAMWORK. Sounds simple, however he's already starting to put the building blocks in place. Great speed of mind going forward and also a constant awareness of link-work whilst always seeking to play the ball to feet whenever possible. Anyway, early days and merely my humble opinion. Best regards

With all due respect to the young man from Celtic, we already have numerous Dark Blue young guns hungry and ripe for development. Also, as per the Official Dundee website this morning, a very Happy Birthday to Craig Wighton today from all us Dees. THAT GOAL witnessed first hand, NEVER FORGOTTEN. Best regards Edit - To NEFdab, I've been a poster here for three months now and have never red dotted anyone once, whilst always respecting all differing opinions. You would appear to red dot my every posting for your own sad reasons. As they say in make believe world, ARE YOU LOOKING AT ME???????

It would not surprise me in the least if Stevie May turns up at Dens, if only on the basis of how highly rated he is by our management team. I'm sure they were on record recently as saying another two up top were still required after all. As long as Stevie May accepts it's not advisable to drink in Perth for a wee while, just need to entertain new friends at the Apex, lol. Best regards

Just checked the current listing of the first team squad as it stands on the DFC website. Consists of 21 players, 6 of which are the young guns looking to break through..................plus Andrew Davies. After the previous couple of seasons we've endured some may say we're cutting it fine on the quality signings front. Lets hope that considerable list of James was not mislaid at the Apex. Best regards

Charlie Adam signs a one year deal at Reading apparently. Great potential experienced signing who could have made a difference missed imho. Best regards

Yeah Girth, got one of these in the collection, top quality these Toffs' shirts. Same manufacturer as the v-neck 1962 "Gillie" shirts. Word of warning though, genuine heavy weight 100% cotton. Not to be worn for a warm Summers' evening on the pop at the Apex. Winters' evening in London, you'll be fine. Best regards

What time's Random's book-signing at the Apex, have I missed it? Best regards

Gordon Strachan press conference at Dens just now. Too much to hope for signings as well today, positive thoughts only. Best regards

He's still only 33. You'd think he'd be looking for a wage better than anyone (apart from OF) in Scotland could offer, last big payday. The young man James Wilson, newly signed at Aberdeen, has just came off the back of a £30,000/week 5 year contract at Man Utd, that's £7.8Million before tax. Charlie Adam has been playing down south for 10 years now give or take, mostly in the Premiership. These fellers could afford to buy a club up here if the notion took them. Obviously, like the Murphy's, we're not bitter though. LOL Best regards

Charles is now 33 years old, turns 34 in December according to Wiki. Needs to get his arse in gear if he wants Caniggia's squad number, lol. Best regards

Agree with the above as highlighted, probably the same reason it would appear we're not attempting to sign Charlie Adam. He also has an opinion on most things football, mostly through his media work. However, as a fledgling gaffer, I'd be attempting to harness that knowledge and experience to my and the clubs' considerable advantage. For the record, Charlie has now appeared as a trialist for Blackburn Rovers on three occasions, scored three goals! The club apparently, according to the local press are not be offering terms and he's now being linked with Blackpool again. Our team is screaming out for his talent in central midfield, imo. Best regards
