rainbowrising Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 (edited) We hit top spot at the end of December '22 and have won just one game since and been mugged by Arbroath. People have mouthed off since the start of the season about the quality of this league and how once we hit form we will get a grip of the league and win it. We are probably a couple of bad results away from seriously kidding ourselves. Edited February 4 by rainbowrising -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dee Bliss Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Hamilton scored a worldy with their only shot on target, their keeper pulls 4 excellent saves, the ball doesn’t land to one of our players in the scramble in the 6 yard box, Mulligan missed a sitter and we’ve dominated that game from around the 15 minute mark to the end. One of those days, we move on. Disappointed with the starting line up tbh and McCowan shouldn’t have been subbied as he was tearing the fullback apart. Not a disaster. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin_Nevis Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 I see Billy Thomson has sadly passed away. Obviously better known for his St Mirren and Tannadice spells, but he played a few games for us in the mid-90s, most memorably in a Coca Cola Cup tie at Tannadice where after spilling an easy shot to concede the opener, produced a series of absolutely ridiculous saves to keep us in the tie, then a couple to win the penalty shoot-out.

Bigmouth Strikes Again Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Most gutted I've ever been after a game was the 87 Scottish cup semi final at Tynecastle, (would surely have beaten St Mirren in the final) Thomson was outstanding with save after save, one in particular from a Bomber free kick that was immense. Fantastic goalkeeper. RIP Billy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW what is with all the Union Jacks behind the goal? Leftover from a Hearts game? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Alli Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Sad to read about Billy Thomson, one of those guys you remember meeting as a kid and he just seemed larger than life. RIP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molotov Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 You watch that ‘87 cup semifinal again and you remember how games used to be played. I think the ref must have forgotten his cards. When the second Dundee goal went it there were bodies all over the pitch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We needed 5 games to get past Meadowbank and East Fife, then absolutely flattened Clydebank in the QFs 4-0 away, United were 1-2 to home to Forfar who conceded to daft penalty with the last action of the game near enough. Forfar themselves then missed two pens in two minutes in the replay. We'd surely have beaten Forfar in the semi, and had a good chance against St Mirren in the final. I think we beat them 6-3 in the winter, and I'm sure won in Paisley as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic goalkeeper. RIP Billy. Same for me, Thomson was outstanding that day. RIP The '84 semi against Aberdeen again at Tynecastle was a sickener as well, 2 goals chopped off for fouls on Aberdeen keeper, Walker McCall and Jim Leighton if memory serves me right.

I think we gave them 4, 5 and 6 in the 3 games with something like a 5 nil win at Dens near the end of the season. That’s the year we should’ve beat the hoodoo! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fifespud Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Poor Billy Thompson. 64 - no age at all. I remember the day he signed for us. It was in the teletext days. The strap line was ‘Dundee Sign Scottish International Goalkeeper’. Dialled in the page number all excited. Billy Thompson. He was 38 and extremely short sighted - a tad disappointing but he seemed like a genuinely nice guy. RIP Billy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fabulous Dee Archive has us winning 3 out of the 4 games. 2-1 and 6-3 at Dens 1-0 and 1-4 at Love Street Am i right in thinking that TC's first goals were in the 6-3 after we signed him from the DABs? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
