This Charming Man

Groundhog Day Best regards

Vince Mennie, 1st team regular at Cologne until we shelled out I recall circa £70 grand in the mid eighties. The rest was history I'm afraid!!! Best regards

Afternoon However never, I repeat never Dabbies!! Nope, Dab or Dabs is just fine thanks. Regards

Point taken Dundee-FC92. When I'm of the mood to poke the Dabs will keep it brief. (Thank f**k you say). The prediction you guys made was their sudden, near total disappearance from our thread. Best regards and thank you

Evening gents Assume and hoping it'll be standing room only on here from tomorrow night, what with the Scottish transfer window finally officially opening. Obviously I'm still quite new to your forum, however is it always this quiet after you know who's annual thunder-strike? I recall a few of you predicted it, but seeing truly is believing!!!! Best regards

Good evening Rightly or wrongly, I fear the boat has sailed on the days when men with the calibre of Brian Clough would have reigning European Champions walking from the train station to the away stadium. Last Decembers performances and attitude of Glen Kamara spring to mind I'm afraid and I see he's already making noises regarding a move to the English Premiership. James McPake really has to choose wisely. Judge the character of the man just as closely as the ability. Earlier postings had me also checking previous managers' records and figures on wikipedia. Not so Secret Agent McIntyre's win ratio was 9.68%. There really is no answer to that!!!! Best regards

Good afternoon Nope, it would appear not I'm afraid. I for one am back in training just in case of the worst. Have been jogging to the drinks cabinet and back. Kinda hoped the legs (spindles) would blind the goalkeeper with the glare. All joking apart, if we're saying the same next weekend, that would be concerning!!! Best regards

Good afternoon Ludo My misunderstanding, please accept my humble apologies as I wind my neck back in. I don't know much about Sam Robertson other than he was brought up on our patch and is a kindred Dark Blue. Best regards my man

Good morning Best I ignore the DAB cruising our thread at 1.00am on a Saturday morning for obvious reasons. However, Ludo, bit tetchy, had a trying week my friend? Best you ignore my postings and stick to reading The Sun my man. Best regards

Good evening Couldn't help but notice during the week, even being away on vacation I'm ashamed to say, Coronation Streets' Adam Barlow aka Sam Robertson waxing lyrical whilst playing table football regarding a certain St Mirren no less!!! Nowt to do with "The Two Ronnies four candles sketch" I fear, more "The Robbie four PENS sketch I suspect". Good to be back home. Best regards

Good evening Taking all personal emotions out of the equation, I do believe the signing of Simon Murray could form a productive pairing alongside the young man Nelson. After all would we cheer any less after he wheels away having netted at Tannadice in the famous Dark Blue? Best regards

Good evening Could very well be at this very late stage of negotiations Jim Goodwin's been approached regarding the Kilmarnock vacancy??? What will be, will be. However it comes back again to this apparent inundated with applicants nonsense. Best regards

Good evening So much anger my man and finally a conduit in which to vent it!!! Granted we have relegated both Dundee United and yourselves in the past and I can understand the arabs are still a wee bit tender. However your torment dates to 1962 , that's a long time my friend, please seek some professional help. Best regards

Good evening I see you've released the kit for next seasons' endeavours. Lovely day for the photo-shoot on generous Farmer McDiarmids' donated plot of land. Zander looks a bit cross though, assume he's staying another season. Best regards

Evening Scott Severin it was whilst at United, apparently triple leg break in a game against St Mirren, don't know any more than that though. Regards

Good evening With respect and homage to Biggies loyal long service and superbly enjoyable posting this evening it would appear the probable future management team DO enjoy the finer things in life!!! Best regards

Good evening No, no, no my man. that was Charlie Adam, I wish!!!!! Quieter than normal tonight, did I miss something? May the FOURTH be with you, lol!!!!!!! Best regards

Evening Yep I agree, that's the positive attitude I like to hear, even at this early stage!!!!! Best regards

Evening Now then, that really would cap an extremely enjoyable sabbath.. Charlie and Jim management team, I can only hope the rumours are factual. I don't think Charlie would entertain our new level otherwise. Anyway, please no one mention the P word, I'll bust my stitches from laughing so hard earlier. Best regards

Evening. No, no, thank you my good man for justifying my informed team choice before I'd even made double figures of years. Best regards.............. and thank you.

Evening folks. Nearly spilt my newly poured malt (reward after a long day) reading tonight's postings. Banter can be a lonely one way street when one would appear to be a tad sensitive, maybe pre-match nerves. I kinda highlighted something similar to the comment above a few weeks back, shame on me!!! Anyway, back to the box, double Emmerdale tonight. Best regards.

Good evening. That'll be my wish list of Jim Goodwin and Charlie Adam as co-managers up in the air then!! Wee Gordon after all virtually refused to select Charlie for national duty I do believe. I suppose a 'noisy' player is one thing, however a noisy knowledgeable manager is completely another thing entirely. Two of them as above no less!!! Gone are the days when Gordon accompanied by Alec Caldwell would have a few beers of a Friday evening in The Barn in Broughty Ferry, however they both performed on the park the next day, eeeeh they were the days!!!!!!!! Regarding Derek Adams though I'm not really sure where all the collective love is coming from. When you collect your P45 from your father-in-law no less I'm afraid that leaves a stain even on your best interview shirt. Best regards.

Good evening Never mind any Dabs, call for Big Rab!!! If my memory still serves, I'm sure in Rab Douglas's previous life he was indeed a bricklayer. Failing that he could always attempt to coach the bugger into becoming a competent reliable keeper. Best regards.

Good evening. Might just be my opinion also regarding the above, however Mr Nelms should not be attempting to pin indirectly the "toxic feeling" at the club on the relationship between ourselves and the now former manager and actually take ownership and responsibility for what is now two extremely poor and misjudged appointments. Best regards.

Good evening. Regarding Jim Goodwin, success for his current employers at Alloa Athletic FC is survival, arguably at a level which they have no business being at in the first place. No disrespect intended or directed to Alloa. This is, I would say solid management potential and considerable knowledge at the level Dundee will find themselves next season. Regarding Charlie Adam, respectfully, unfortunately you are speaking through your arse on this occasion! I have close ties and affection with his now previous club Stoke City FC and have followed their fortunes and games for nearly 18 years now. Hence I do see quite a number of their games, even more so since the Sky Red Button coverage of The English Championship this season after their relegation following 10 years in The English Premiership. This is in addition to taking in a game when I'm down in Stoke. Charlie Adam performed more than consistently well at a level superior to anything currently presented on our doorstep and would still walk, at 33 years of age into any top flight Scottish first team, Celtic included imo. Stoke City's new and current manager Nathan Jones, himself a potential rising managerial star rates Charlie Adam highly with his views and ideals for the game in a future managerial/coaching capacity. Charlie Adam and Jim Goodwin as co-managers may cost more than planned for, however with their substantial footballing network and knowledge of both sides of the border would be in my opinion priceless. Neither, as gaffers, I envisage would be willing to suffer any fools or clowns gladly and would be a breath of fresh air on and off the pitch. Best regards.
