Boo Khaki Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 It's an absolute outrage that it's the Matterhorn on the packaging considering it's a Dundonian invention. Should be the Law Hill, featuring a "Christ the Redeemer" style statue of Gary Harkins 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Gus Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 They fell right down in my estimation a few Christmas ago when I got given one of those fucking massive ones you see at the festive season and in airports and it never contained one enormous bar but 8 individual, and admittedly still huge, bars. My childhood dreams of an angular chocolate you could feasibly beat a man to death with were shattered. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Khaki Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 I went through something similar with easter eggs. Was expecting a solid mass of chocolate, no some wafer thin garbage so pumped full of preservatives that it tastes nothing like the confection it was purporting to represent with a tiny wee mini-bag of smarties inside. Even more disappointing the scoundrels who don't even seal the egg so it's already in two halves when you open it. I also remember being particularly upset when it was explained to me that wine gums were not in fact alcoholic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pens_Dark Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/sport/football/dundee-fc/4204459/george-cran-dundee-contracts-stadium-issues-big-questions-john-nelms/ Recurring theme here from Nelms & co. Radio silence for months on end, no decisions, no long term planning & no stadium development - shock. Externally the fans are second guessing what our progression looks like, but worryingly it looks like internally, no one does either. Say what you want about the tele but all the questions raised are legitimate in this instance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say what you want about the tele but all the questions raised are legitimate All fair points made. Remember when the first public consultation happened in 2017/18 and being ridiculously excited about the whole project. They like to wheel out the whole stadium thing when things are going bad as a carrot on a stick. I really don't see it happening anymore and think nelms and friends are trying to mitigate losses as they look for an exit. Keyes said years ago, pre COVID I would add, that he was expecting to see returns and was disappointed and concerned that it wasn't happening. He said he placed all his hope into the new project to turn that around. Since then we've had COVID, tanking of the pound (which would have benefited Keyes and wasn't taken advantage of), cost of living/energy skyrocketing and no meaningful progress since other than a rather benign filing. Not extending players or management is a financial benefit (currently for flexibility) but does not help mentally in the push for promotion but again, what's the point when we aren't even sure who is going to be steering the ship. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossBFaeDundee Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Classic 'mountain out of a molehill' journalism imo. Looking for some crisis in a quiet week, if getting promoted requires re-signing a bunch of jobbers that got us relegated then we'd be as well staying here for next season imo. The desire to win a league/gain promotion should already be there, and would help them secure contracts afterward regardless, here or elsewhere. If not, they're not worth re-signing. As for the stadium stuff, change the bloody record already. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmouth Strikes Again Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Why don't they just build the stadium for a start, and let all the other nonsense gradually develop over time, if it's needed at all? What's the hold up? Too much bullshite. IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pens_Dark Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 The stadium topic has been done to death and I know most dee's are sick of hearing of it so lets park that to the side. The only thing I would say is that my best guess is Nelms & co have realised just how much is needed to be done to realise a stadium on that site. I'm on the fence regarding the players contracts. I think irrespective or what league we are in we are going to see a large portion of them leaving and a big summer rebuild. The problem is that players get contracts regardless, so if it has been used as a tool to get extra motivation out of them to get Dundee where they want to be there's a chance that could backfire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought myself the Pat Liney printed Goalkeeper top this week - a must have for any Dee memorbilia collectors. One to look back in in years to come and a great tribute to the man.

Dundee-FC92 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) As for the football, if we're sitting anything off joint second with Partick and five off the top by Sunday we're doing well. Doesn't mean panic has to set in though. Massive game at Partick next week and Queens April fixtures are tough. Confident we'll take this league - lets take the weekends results as they come without any knicker wetting. The local media have done their best to start that this week, Thank you, Edited March 10, 2023 by Dundee-FC92 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Charming Man Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) Footballing icons certainly, real men, without any doubt! My respect and regards to these three gentlemen. Never been a political animal, not my thing and never has been, however the BBC are a national disgrace at this time. Merely my opinion.
