Popular Post Shadow Play Posted May 5, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 5, 2022 33 minutes ago, This Charming Man said: Don't recall if it's been highlighted on P&B already, however a great looking read by Graeme Strachan due for release 16th May. Best deal I could see was Amazon @ £13.73 for this gem. My dad is in his 90s and still talks about the Cologne game in particular from time to time. He’s got dementia now but he still seems to remember the great games he has seen and the great times he has experienced following Dundee. Makes me proud to support Dundee no matter how bad we are these days. 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Dad was off getting shot at in some arsehole end of the world but my granda, his father in law was there and my dad spoke of getting it described to him in the letters he got from him. Years ago now but those days and the guys up in the high stand now are why I'm a Dee til I die no matter how shite things are at times 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin_Nevis Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 My old man was one of that generation as well, the jammy c**t. He saw Billy Steel's debut, the League cup win against Rangers, the title win at Muirton and all the home European Cup games in 62-63. It's wild to think it now, but after the Anderlecht QF he was one of many who genuinely believed Dundee could win the thing. It's probably no longer on sale, but there's fantastic stories from the players at the time in "Dundee Greats". Well worth a read if you can get it. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin.Hood Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Jakubiak.... Partick fans didn't seem to rate him. I still don't know what position he plays in and by sounds of it neither does Partick fans 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got that scout report by asking one Partick fan immediately after losing yesterday, FYI. From what I've seen they think pretty similarly to ourselves; decent on the ball and on buildup play, but his lack of scoring is too noticeable in his position up front. Reckon he needs to play more in a CAM role imo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding.... he runs about which we knew. Maybe wins some tackles...isn't a goal scorer so again I'm not sure where we would play him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 He'd probably be best as a Forrest Gump winger, but seems like hes determined he's more than that so he'll never do it well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where can I see you and Ross' wee debate? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where can I see you and Ross' wee debate? Could be an idea. Winger maybe not a bad idea. Again have no idea tbh. However what we do know is not a striker. Or his career certainly suggests he isn't a goalscorer. Optimism thread. For some reason he took a disliking to one of my posts. No wee debate as you suggested. Think we can all be in agreement next season will give us a bit more happiness as Dundee fans . Just pray a new manager we have fairly soon to bring in some good players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Fed up of Rory Loy saying we were promoted a year ahead of plan. Our plan was to get out of the division the season before when up against United. To not even have a title challenge and the league to be wrapped up by Christmas was very poor. You'll not find a fan upset we got rid of McPake. It's the timing that was the only issue. But he's just going on budgets, ignoring that our managers are still very well backed and with the addition of the play-offs, it'd have been untenable for the manager in the fans' eyes should we not have got up after 2 seasons. Many wanted McPake out that season. Not another go at it FFS! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spikethedee Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Could be a lovely championship for away days the way things are going just now; we could have Arbroath, Montrose and the fermers, as well as cove. Obviously Perth is a shithole, but nice and easy to visit… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
