LANG TOON SAINTIE Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I would imagine that he would unless we decide to rest him for this one as we have a couple of big games coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deefiant Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I think that we should win this one quite comfortably but we cant afford to be complacent. It would not be the first time that we have had a couple of wins over quality opposition and then slipped up against one of the diddy teams. ^^^^^Trying way too hard. Will be a close game and I wouldn't be surprised if the farmers do win it. It's one of their biggest games of the season whilst we have 2 genuinely big games right off the back of it and it would be natural for us to take our eye off the ball somewhat. If we play to our potential we have every chance of snatching the 3 points but we will need to score at least 2 goals to do so as the on loan DAB is a bricker to score, especially if as I expect st Johnstone attack our weakened left flank and ping balls over for him. I reckon that had we not had 2 derbies in a week after this we would have sold a shed load more tickets. That said I'm a little disappointed by the reported figures so far as it's our closest non Utd away day and is usually a good day out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chateau Lafite Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 The Tully says that Tommo is still doubtful. http://www.eveningtelegraph.co.uk/sport/dundee-fc/dundee-boss-hartley-sweats-over-thomson-s-fitness-1.568407 So we will line up: Letheren McGinn Konrad McPake Irvine (as Dyer's knee is still not sorted) McAlister McGowan Harkins Ferry, Roberts Tankulic (as Peaso is carrying a knock) Should be a good game, with a draw the likely result.

Yesterday it was down to only row A availability in the North Stand, I've no idea how many the North stand holds, but this will still be a decent support. But effectively going to this is £22 to get in (a nice 10% more expensive than it would be for Saints fans at Dens), plus on Sunday another £20 for the League Cup derby. It's not always easy to justify the costs of watching your team, given that there is also beer money and travel to add. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're a top six club who regularly qualify for Europe. We're also the current Scottish cup holders. Dundee have been a first division team for a decade. £20 for such strugglers is a rip off IMO.

Humf Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 BarraJag must be the most regular poster on this thread over the last month. In every Dundee related thread a post from BJ is the first thing I see when I go to first unread. Derry'd oot his nut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, for proper quality we charge £25. For Diddies like you fermers its £20! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Gandosaur Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Saints fans on here are trying too hard. You could win another 9 Scottish Cups. You will never ever top us winning Scotland's biggest prize on your patch and relegating you in the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I love the way the Category B supporters have come out of their shells since beating us in the Scottish Cup. It's given them real confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First you're the second best team in Tayside behind Dundee, now you're second best behind wee diddy Category B St Johnstone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 St Johnstone fans are like the younger sister who has been a slut all their lives, desperate for a man (rival). Then suddenly, she has a child (wins a cup) then starts handing out life advice to her older sister who has had children who have now left the nest and is rebuilding her life after a nasty divorce. At the end of the day, the younger sister is still a slut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see the Category B team in the Championship any time soon. Anyway I'll refrain from further comment as this is not a thread about my team.

It's not always easy to justify the costs of watching your team, given that there is also beer money and travel to add. I believe the stand holds 1800 which, whilst a decent support, is not a huge amount more than we took to St Mirren which is a fair bit further away. It's not a particularly big deal but there is a fair bit of faeces throwing taking place from farmer fans over this issue. We may have a different area allocated for which we are sellign tickets in addition to this though but I'm not 100% on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
