Dundee United's plight fucking elates me. It genuinely has me fucking delighted. f**k the b*****ds. I hope they rot down there for many a year - no doubt they will come back at one point. So I'm going to revel in every second that the b*****ds are in their rightful place. Get it right round you Granny Danger, you fucking gargantuan. Get it right round you Lorraine Kelly. Your pus has finally been shut. Thank the lord. Get it right round the Shed loyal. They're about as loyal as a Doc Street hooker. Get it round the silly wee greasy b*****d I used to work with daily, who spouted his dayglo nonsense on an hourly basis. Get it right round Jim Spence - the ginger DAB clown. Get it right up you Paul Dixon, Scott Robertson and Lee Wilkie. Your careers led to nothing after Dundee. Get it right round the fat BBC presenter who supports the DABS - his name escapes me right now. Get it round up you Ray McKinnon - the shite you spout in the Tele isn't fooling anyone - you're lost at sea you c**t. YASSSSSSSSSSSS.

I'd have asked SLClyde the same rhetorical question if I didn't think all of the following: JP & Peaso have picked three teams which I wouldn't have. JP & Peaso haven't used the bench (substitutes) as I would have in their three games. JP & Peaso have had the pool of players, across their three games, to make a difference, but they haven't. JP & Peaso are committing precisely the same errors that Ferguson and Malcolm did re team selection. JP & Peaso look set to continue to make those same errors. The players look downtrodden and there's a manifest lack of whole-team dig. Hadn't Cowdenbeath won today, their supporters could have asked of any [whoever the manager was] critics: 'What difference was he supposed to make in 24 hours!?'. However, he did make a difference in that time and against the odds, too. Edinburgh beat Forfar away today (one of the 'top two'). We couldn't beat them at home at a time when we had all the incentive and occasion to do so. Had JP & Peaso done anything profoundly worthwhile in their three games, I'd have their back. As it is, they haven't, and they don't threaten to. We need someone to come and do that immediately. The howling wilderness of a planet from which you've passed only the most doggedly dogmatic and ideologically-rationalised commentary this season is long overdue a fatal meteor impact. To read you ask SLClyde such a question, you'd think we were safely mid-table or better. Worse still, you yourself would've done things different from JP & Peaso. But here you are implying that we keep them at our peril! Who do you think you're kidding Mr Juncker?

Nobody in 21st century Scotland gives a shiny shit about the SNP's relations with Sinn Fein other than PUL dinosaurs who have beef with the surnames of SNP party members.

On a more serious note, it's absolutely shocking that Daly got a send off at Starks, while actual club legend Davie McGurn went away without any real recognition of his services for the club. I feel a bit sorry for the likes of Grant Murray and Dougie Hill too. Murray obviously wasn't flavour of the month when he got punted, but he was a great player for us, and achieved some memorable cup runs as manager. Hill was also a stalwart who played 100+ games. Davo is also an under appreciated player for us. I love a utility player, I do.

If the pic had only been taken about 30 secs later, this burd would've had her norks out.

You, at least, have provided a response of some effort. I'll give you that. To the others, there has been no shortage of effort, commitment or aggression in the last three games. Or, indeed, in many of the Ferguson matches. That's always the first criticism churned out of any team who are losing. If there had actually been a lack of effort, we'd have lost heavily against three motivated sides. As an argument; it's fanciful nonsense. The two ways to improve a team are with coaching (over a long term), and with new players. To answer your points: 1) Totally irrelevant, and I'm surprised that you are raising such a point. There hasn't been a team selection in the history of football that three or four fans have agreed on, never mind a fan and the manager (who is always privy to more information about form, fitness etc). At every level of the game. Indeed, in playing Flynn, dropping Higgins, fielding McMillan/McNeil/Johnston in their normal positions, they made the exact changes that most were crying out for. 2) Totally irrelevant. Same point as above. However, to humour you, they had to take off two injured/struggling players today and replaced them with the most obvious replacements. They had to take off three injured players against Forfar and again replaced them with the obvious replacements. Against Berwick, they brought on the couple of players who were fit to bring on. Could've perhaps done things differently but not really much in the way of options. 3) A fair point. The onslaught of individual errors won't be stopped by a new coach though. And those individual errors are the consistent problem. No matter who is in charge, you can't excuse McLaughlin (who has poor games but rarely makes out and out errors) costing us two goals in one game (and nearly a third). A different manager would still have Gibson. 4) The previous errors you highlighted are normally; Johnston at right back (not happened), McNiff at left back (he is a left back, he is our only fit left back). Anything else? As I said earlier, they've made precisely the changes that everyone was crying out for! 5) Still not sure what those errors are. 6) Certainly not last Saturday, or today. Nor really in midweek, where they were downtrodden enough to come back from 2-0 down, and dominate the second half. 7) Different team, entirely different circumstances. I have no idea how bad Fox was, or how good Locke is. It's a different group of players. Team's can fluke a win. Again, a totally irrelevant point to the Clyde situation. Look at the noticeable difference from Malcolm to McGovern/MacDonald. 8) Again, a totally different match. It's not like you to compare apples with pears but that's what you're doing in an uncharacteristically messy post. It sounds like Forfar could easily have given Edinburgh a tanking today. They caught them with a late goal. 9) They've changed out style and there has been a far greater emphasis on width (rightly or wrongly; I like the diamond myself). They're playing players in their correct positions. They've retained a positive outlook. They've tried to cut out some of the individual errors by dropping Smith. Apart from maybe also binning Perry, that's all I'd expect from 2 training sessions and three matches from which we only actually took 1 point when we were playing well earlier in the season. Look how long (and also with a number of expensive transfers) it's taken Allardyce, probably the best "firefighter" of a manager to tighten Crystal Palace up, and that's with full-time football. His early time at the club was horrific. There are far more examples of managers having no impact whatsoever; the problem is, no-one remembers them amongst the few exceptions who manage to win their first few games. I am hugely worried about where we're going to end up. I'm not saying that I think they should have been put in charge. I've said previously that a Danny Lennon type would be perfect. However, I, like every other person on this board, have no idea of McGovern/MacDonald's qualifications or abilities. The fact they are players... so what? They could well be doing things totally different on the training pitch, in their preparation for games. They could well be the best people for the job. I am fully aware of the fact though that three games and two training sessions is absolutely no time to judge anyone in a managerial job, especially with someone else's squad, and that expecting massive changes immediately is crazy.

I have had a great couple of weeks and really enjoying being a spare a driver,i get something different every day and even my boss has left me alone.I was down yesterday but that was because it would have been my old man's birthday.

I'll happily concede goals if we're banging them in at the other end. Well, not happily, but you know what I mean. We've had a marked improvement in performance and results since the cup game that shall not be mentioned. Almost certainly due to a shift to a more positive attacking system. What frustrated most during the early part of the season was that most of knew the players we had were better than the system Aitken was imposing on them. He deserved criticism for that, and credit for identifying and changing it. On today, that's a tremendous result given last weeks performance, the utter shambles that was heidbuttgate and the 'six pointer' feel of the game given Raith's result midweek. I missed today but followed it on BT. not often you get four chances to cheer our name on the screen in a single afternoon.

It'd offend me more if you didn't.

"Descent guy". Never before has there been a more accurate two-word description of Gary Locke. It's what he does best.

Both. Everyone's a c**t.

They may well be the best two for the job though. Or maybe a couple of guys were sounded out and said no. Or maybe they've got a real target who isn't available yet. Or maybe there's absolutely no money to pay anyone else wages? There is a reason of course that we don't know... I would 100% agree that the board are coming across at this stage as extremely static. No chairman, still no stadium move. No comment about the manager appointment. Even their club insight thing has ground to a halt after a couple of weeks (was Bob Malcolm doing it?). No doubt work is being done behind the scenes (and I am ever appreciative of that) but how they expect a manager to show leadership when they have no presence within the club is beyond me. They take just as much responsibility for the general feeling of depression around the club, hard work or no hard work.

That was the stuff of nightmares. Everything that could go wrong today went really fucking wrong. I still think that England side are vastly over hyped, but fair play, they absolutely made us look like amateurs. However, I have a small bit of sympathy and "woe us" for the injuries to Hogg, Bennett, Seymour and the rest. We're now missing close to half our first choice starting side heading into the final game with Italy. Who knows how different it would have been if Laidlaw, Nel, Dickenson, Strauss, Maitland etc had all been available. IMO this is a clear example as any that you can get so fired up for a game, you end up losing before a ball is kicked. Brown getting binned put us under immediate pressure and the Scottish arse collapse syndrome followed. I'm dying for us to pump England just as much as the next person, but we need to stop approaching it like it's life and death. It hurts us more than them. The fact we scored 3 tries today despite being ridden raw shows how competitive this match could have been if we'd kept clearer heads.

This might be unpopular...but there must be better right backs out there than Thomson? He has been awful this season.

In order to even things out with the picture of my ladies evil cat, here is a picture of my parents lazy happy cat.

Maisie has her hip harness on for up to 12 weeks.

If it makes everyone feel a little better, I've learned that life is just one crushing defeat after another until you just wish Flanders was dead.

None two rookies put in charge of a team facing falling out the league But nevermind maybe after another 5 or 6 games we should see a couple of results Ps locke got a win today without having a single training session like to tell me how that one works ?

f**k is laidlaw wearing?? Been taking fashion tips off doddle weir???

Oh my didn't think I would ever find my way back here. Feels good.

Instead of "Did you take any pics?" you should've put "Pics or GTF".

Just finished crying into your "Full English" type post. The salty tears would have complimented the fried egg, so not all bad.

Robert is absolutely raging.

Something seems to have happened 'over the water' that has sent them into a tizzy as well Looks like a perfect storm is hitting the PULs and they've forgotten their umbrellas.

Tell you what, I never thought I'd be giving substitute Ryan Stevenson heartfelt applause as he jogged round to warm up. He went in nets in a hard away game and we nearly got something. That could've gone badly for him and he gave it a go.

Hold on. I don't advise the club. This season's masterstrokes are nothing to do with me

Mixu hahahahahahahahhahaha. Absolute tosh the balloon comes away with. You really have to love the baldy fuckwit. Absolutely off his rocker, and he doesn't care a jot. Thank you Mixu, A true Dundee legend,

Not an adult anyway and especially not within Europe. On the other hand we spent about a year attempting to persuade FIFA to register 3 u18s from Newcastle and STILL never got permission. International clearance and SFA registration are two different things. That said you would normally apply for both at the same time. The SFA registration wont progress without international clearance being received but if it has been uploaded in the first place it would normally progress automatically within an hour of clearance being received never mind two days given that the story saying it had been received was on a Thursday. I think its very unlikely the SFA "forgot" to register him after getting clearance. Near impossible I would have thought so more likely there was a problem with the SFA paperwork or something and the initial attempt was rejected and needed resubmitted. It is however ALWAYS the responsibility of the club to check a player is on their registered player list before including him on a teamline. No matter who did what if he wasnt on the list he shouldnt have played.

Free stuff? Well supported schools and hospitals? Decent nursing homes? Plenty of police and community programmes? Affordable housing for young people? A respectable state pension? Stop being a p***k and making it sound like scroungers getting handouts. The look-after-yourself neoliberal mentality has ripped our society to f**k.
