For Kilmarnock where he never really got an extended run in the team due to them having Cammy Bell when realistically he was still a complete novice having barely played any first team games in his career before that? Shaky performances are to be expected in such a scenario. In Letheren's time at Dens he's made a few howlers but as he got more confident in the team and the season went on he became much better and was eventually a vital part of us going up with a few MotM performances thrown in.

BarraJag Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 You'll give us Bain. You must be a football oracle as well then cos I'd suggest you've probably never seen him play and certainly not enough to make that judgement. Letheren has earned his shot as our number 1 after last season. Combined with Bains current injury he is a shoe in to start the season as number 1. We know his limitations but he is a vast improvement on our keeper last time we were up (a sadly past it Rab Douglas) and that's good enough for me. I live not far from Alloa and have mates who support them and have seen Bain about 10 times, so I'd say I'm perfectly able to judge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Ludo, the thick c**t Dee Man just told me Letheren has never had a a horror show, I think I know who to believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
an-dee Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 None of what I said was untrue All those were facts, whether you liked it or not, Letheren, just ask killie fans, same with mcgowan and st mirren, roberts and caley, mcpake and hibs, ask all the fans I'll go with fud Always find it hilarious when someone gives their opinion and states it as a fact...obviously doesn't know the difference. For what it's worth, Letheren and our defence last year had the best defensive record in the league. Obviously doing something right, although like Ludo, I wouldn't be surprised to see Bain take over at some point. It's clear Hartley really rates him.

Dee Man Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Sorry Ludo, the thick c**t Dee Man just told me Letheren has never had a a horror show, I think I know who to believe Making a couple of mistakes over the course of a season does not equate to a horror show.

Killiesquirrel Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Are Dee fans expecting Letheren to start over Bain? Not slagging you, just need to know as I picked Bain in my fantasy team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deefiant Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 I live not far from Alloa and have mates who support them and have seen Bain about 10 times, so I'd say I'm perfectly able to judgeYou've seen him about 10 times? That's probably about 10 times the number of times you've seen Letheren (unless of course you have Dundee/killie supporting mates, and live quite close to Kilmarnock, Alloa and Dundee) and you had no problem judging him so I guess your right. FWIW Bain conceded 1 shy of double the amount of goals Letheren did last year. Very different teams in front of them granted but since you've took this to the level of talking utter pish that's my contribution and is, unlike your opinion, a documented fact at least.

DundeeFC92 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Are Dee fans expecting Letheren to start over Bain? Not slagging you, just need to know as I picked Bain in my fantasy team Letheren will start the season as No.1, Bain has missed all the pre-season matches after having an operation for appendicitis.

Not slagging you, just need to know as I picked Bain in my fantasy team Yes - Bain has missed all of pre- season also after an operation (appendicitis I think) - the opinion is he will usurp Kyle at some point but Kyle will 100% start the season.

Not slagging you, just need to know as I picked Bain in my fantasy team Letheren will definitely start as number one. He's earned that right. Bain's been injured for the majority of pre-season and won't make our LC game on Saturday and he'll only start training properly again on Monday. I expect by about Christmas Bain will get his chance though. If everything is going smoothly and there's no reason to drop Letheren, Bain will probably be our cup goalkeeper, but if I was a betting man, Bain will be our unanimous number one by the end of the season.

For the record, I do have 2 Killie supporting mates, but not any Dundee fans, I'm not that low. I also live nowhere near either, but I've seen Letheren twice actually, and he was probably the worst keeper I've seen in Scottish football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill use my full season watching him before your opinion then. FYI if hart gets injured for man city this year lump your money on someone else for the title. I've seen the boy willy cabalerro at dens and he is fucking brutal. Shite keeper IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmouth Strikes Again Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I was sort of staying out of the Dundee/Tankulic slagging but after seeing McPake, Roberts, Letheren and McGowan being tipped for starts just makes Dundee being touted by their own fans for top 6 laughable! McPake - Absolute diddy, not even hibees liked him = shite Roberts - watched Inverness since 1996, not seen a worse player than Roberts ever Letheren - again, since 1996, not seen a worse performance by any goalkeeper against us McGowan - even Lex (Who gives nearly everyone a chance, marwood etc) was against this guy last season as were most of the Maureens. Goodbye the Dees and NDD, GTF Day couldnt come quicker Should have got this c**t for manager instead of Hartley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever watched a Junior game or a league 2/third division game ? If the answer is yes and you're sticking with your view then I'm sticking with fud. You've been caught out as having a gift for, erm, exaggeration, shall we say, start a thread about the ICT V Dundee game for your slavvers.

Quitongo's Left Peg Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Kyle Letheren - I refuse to believe that he's suddenly developed into a Premiership class of 'keeper after one season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
