Merely making ill informed judgements from afar. Now, seeing as my knowledge of Dundee is less, could you point me to the place where you were scathing of your star player, captain, and criminal, Charlie Adam when he specifically spoke about what a good job Giovanni van Bronkhorst was doing? You know the one, broadcast live on a national radio station. Follows days later, on the same national broadcaster, he actively welcomed approaches from Rangers in order to be part of their new setup. Where is your scathing damnation post of that? I'd like to see it in order to compare. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like Charlie Adam's lapping up of Rangers just as I didn't like Darren O'Dea doing it - you won't see me defending that the way you've defended yer man here. I had no idea he said that though. As for the latter, he's not likely to be kept as a coach by us I don't think after his career finishes so if he's actively after a role at Rangers, I don't see the issue. Did he say he wants to leave us and stop playing to be a coach for them? I'd have an issue if he said that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have intimate knowledge of Goodwin and his motivations, yet nothing about your own captain? What's more, you are more than happy for him to hawk himself to Rangers while having a contract with you, regardless of what happens at the end of that contract? It just smacks of inconsistency to be honest, Ludo, me ol' mucker, and it's not a good look. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AW saint Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 I like our manager I really do but as time goes on I am losing faith he can turn our form around. Do we give him the transfer window or is it time for change. I am on the fence right now but I am beginning to lean over the edge of his time is up 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smacks of whataboutery from yerself my man. I'm happy to call it a day. The thread is absolute garbage just now due to our discussion, largely because you come across as someone that can't give it up.

Div Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Must confess I've not read all the comments but I think it's fairly common practice for a manager to watch his teams next opposition playing if he gets a chance, which is exactly what Jim Goodwin was doing yesterday. Took the opportunity to take his son along with him, who seems to be a Celtic fan. I'm pretty sure Jim is also a Celtic fan, which given he is from Waterford is probably no great surprise. That didn't stop us pumping Celtic at Parkhead earlier this year when he was our manager, and it didn't stop us pumping them at Hampden in the League Cup semi finals when he was our captain. Some folk will try to make a mountain out of the tiniest molehill. ps; the celtic sign going up on our stadium was an absolute riddy IMO. Completely un-necessary 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd have got the stadium rental money regardless of whether they put the sign up on the stadium. It was ridiculous that they were allowed to put their badge on our stadium in an official capacity and nobody will ever persuade me differently. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why lie? Here's his exact quote when asked if he'd celebrate against Rangers: “Absolutely. You score and you celebrate, you enjoy it. These moments don’t happen very often, I keep saying it. You don’t know when they might happen again." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that level of detail was in any agreement we had with Celtic. If it was then it shouldn't ever have been there, and if it wasn't then we should have told them to do one when they asked if they could do it. In the big scheme of things in the world it seems quite a trivial thing, but we've been rightly slated for it ever since. The amount Celtic paid to rent the stadium was eye watering. I don't think anyone ever had a problem with Celtic playing there, we rented Love Street to Morton for a game for fucks sake, but the badge on our stadium wall - well that was a step far too far. In my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
