This Charming Man Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Unless I've slipped into a parallel universe, which is quite possible tbf and preferable , I cannot recall in my 46 years of visiting Dens Park the playing surface being in such a permanently poor winter condition. Surely the existing under-soil heating system could be utilised to counter balance the excessive residual ground moisture content and thereby assist with the natural drainage. Lesser clubs get by using simple pitch coverage assisted by gas/electric hot air blowers. I've certainly seen over the years far harder winters locally than this one. One thing is for sure, the groundsman does not become poor at his job overnight, hence I would have to assume there are conflicting internal issues we are not aware of.

Bigmouth Strikes Again Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Same here, never seen Dens in a state like this, just adds to the all round misery. Thank you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossBFaeDundee Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Well, we were 3 minutes away from being in 6th place, over halfway into the season in the 2nd tier. You tell me there's not a problem, Nelms. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derry Alli Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 I'm not really sure a club appointing a better manager on a temporary basis than we have on a permanent deal is that much of a laughing matter. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every manager appointed by every club is a better appointment than our manager. Let me enjoy this, if only briefly. lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signed a lot of players, some very good, some duds. Had some very good ideas on how to play but didn’t get given enough time to implement them properly. Had he been given more time he’d certainly have kept us up and wouldn’t have signed clowns like Andrew Davies and Martin fucking Woods. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Play Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 5 minutes ago, SteveAn said: What was McCann like when he was in charge of you guys? He had ideas way above the ability of the players HE brought in......and believe me, he brought in a lot of players. He certainly knew how to talk a good game but then again there are lots of people like that in every profession. IMHO he lacked a lot of qualities required in a good football manager. Just my opinions of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBF McKay will be the reliable one there if they're still using Wallace Duffy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've appointed the angriest man in Scottish football. Takes zero shit. Will have you playing from the back and there will be no variance from this model. Philosophy is more important than results. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnydun Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 58 minutes ago, SteveAn said: What was McCann like when he was in charge of you guys? You could see what he was trying to achieve, playing it out from the back constantly, but he didn't bring in the players capable of doing this plus this style doesn't really suit Scottish football. Shame it didn't work. Commence ICT going on a winning run by playing it out from the back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
