A meaningless game. I see Accies winning though. We're on a great run and Dundee will be deflated. My prediction is 3-1 Accies. Accies always to Waterworth his first start and he'll steal the show with 2 goals.

Will Dundee provide a guard of honour?

1-1

I really hope so,

as for the game think Hamilton will probably win it although our players were gutted after yesterday so might still be up for it to beat Hamilton.

it's also probably alot of our players last game for Dundee so hopefully they will want to win

Can't see anything other than Hamilton win, from reaction to yesterday Dundee didn't really put up much of a fight

This might be a good time for Billy Reid to give a few of our other youngsters who are on the fringe of 1st team football a chance to shine,nothing to lose and the expierience they could gain would be benefical to their development.

I would LOVE to see us line-up:

Cerny

Stevenson...Easton...Swailes...Gibson

McCarthy...McArthur...Crawford...Neil...Gilespie

Waterworth

Although I doubt this is the case, I really want to see Crawford and Gilespie get a game for the first team they are supposedly the next big things.

Oh yes I really hope so as well, it would be a great way to end our season, and a great show of the appreciation we have for Accies! Anyone else want ther rectom licked on here? Hmmm.

Seriously I'm assuming this Niz is on the wind up and expecting Dees to bite in some way, well f**k it! I have bitten, get a social life mate and try and keep your wind ups for the 2nd division next season mate. I doubt it will happen, and how the f**k would any Dundee fan on here know if they were going to plan it??

Long live the Queen.

What the fuck?

No, it's not a wind up, and why would I post in the Second Division forum? Have Thistle been relegated and I just don't know about it.

Quite a few poster on this board either carry out work for clubs or have sources within them. Therefore, there's every possibility that a Dundee fan would know if this was planned.

How bitter are you mate?

Get a grip, if we had won it at Queens yesterday i have no doubt Accies would give us one and they've won it so i think we should give them one.



Niz i doubt Dundee would annonce they are going to do it, if it happens it happens if not i'm sure no Accies fans would lose any sleep.

We gave Celtic one at Parkhead in Bonetti's first season when they had already won the league, i think Accies are much more deserving of one at Dens on Saturday as this title race actually involved us.

FAO Accies1, WTF is Reid doing in that photo? Give the guy a laxative!

If Dundee play with the deflation that they did yesterday Hamilton will gub them!

How many fans do you think Hamilton will take up?

(just a pity this game didnt go to the death could well have been a full house and a bit of TV coverage which would have gave the clubs a bit more finacial backing! Do Hamilton care?!?!? )

That is the messiah crying as he was so happy to be out of the hell hole that is the first division.

I think we'll take up about 1000 fans. And no I don't give a f**k about the game not being on the tele.

I hope we play close to our best team. I want one last chance to cheer them onto the park for the final game of this season.

And what's the point of a guard of honour if it's not the team that won the title being applauded onto the park by our promotion rivals?

I'm all for giving one or two fringe players a run, but I want to see Marko, Elebert, Eastie, Neil (if fit), McArthur, McCarthy and Offiong, at least, in the starting eleven. Remember, it's possible one or two of these guys could be making their last appearance for Accies.

And I want to see a decent performance. The result doesn't matter. It may actually matter more to Dundee, in terms of pride. As someone said last night, I think, they won't want to finish ten points behind us.

So I want fair weather, I hope to see a good game, and I want it played in a sporting and happy atmosphere.

I said earlier this week that all the Dundee fans looking to judge the possibilites of winning the league (entirely correct and plausible) also had to recognise that it was possible for us to win this league by 10 points. That is what is am looking for, if it doesn't happen then so be it.

Do you think the SPL is any better?! .



You want an awful lot do you not?

Yes, because it means we can battle it out for 3rd place

medication time!

Most of us are still full of "medication" from yesterday!

I think Lyle will breath a huge sigh of relief knowing next weeks game will not wreck accies promotion to the SPL.I wonder if he would have gave 100% to the Dundee cause and tried to score if it had been a title decider

We gave a guard of honour to Falkirk when we were final day guests at their ground on their most recent title win.

Most of our players also came back out at the end to watch them lift the trophy. A fair number of our fans also waited for that. I know I did.

Shall be there as usual. I'm saying 2-0 Accies as i'm on the assumption that the players will be like the fans, and will be completely deflated.

On the team selection side of things. I'd assume it'd be Samson, Cowan, Dixon, McDonald, MacKenzie, Malone, Daquin, Robertson, McMenamin, Curier, O'Brien.

I too would like to see the fringe players appear next week, Gibson especially. He's not had a chance of a run in the 1st team this season despite being very talented. It would interesting to see Easton in a role as central defender too.
Crawford is a good player but not anywhere near physical enough or of the right physique yet to appear in the 1st team ~ give him another year or so.
Gillespie is going to be one to watch hopefully. Would like to see him have a run out.

Billy just said on Clyde 1 that he "might" give Grant Gilespie and Jordan Kilpatrick a run out on Saturday. I've heard a lot of good things about Gilespie although I haven't heard too much about Kilpatrick.

Not going to the game,instead booked a wee weekend trip away,I,ve came to the conclusion if half the team are off to pastures new well why should I go and clap them of the park.Bitter maybe but I will be there come august most of the first team wont,imo some could have shown a wee bit more loyalty(crazy i know).Well done accies worthy champs and hope they stay up.Hopefully rae can rebuild our squad for next season,who knows.We need more players like malone mchale and mckenzie.

Clyde didn't All Clyde fans and players and Board members couldn't get away quick enough for some reason Superb and made the day all the sweeter

Accies should send out a team of 15 year old boys, with a 13 year old girl in goal.

The job's done. Who gives a monkey's if Dundee beat us?

ill be at this game, coz i dont mind if we win it or not. It would be good to win it as 4 points is better than 10 behind. Not that bothered tho. All i want to do is to applaud the dees for playing well all season (well nearly). Hope we have a decent support.

Delighted we're going as Champs and not needing a result. Don't mind if we lose. A 4pt gap would be a fairer reflection on Dundee's season than 10. Think it will end 0-0.

Serious question. Will Alex Rae follow Billy Reid's example and play young players? Saw him quoted in the Record last week that the days of the big buys are past. Lots of local talent in the area when you look at junior football. (e.g. Tayport)

I think it will be a Hamiltonesk support for this game! Can't see many turning up. Lucky if theres 3000 there. I will be there, I'll be the one spuing up at the front of the Derry trying to block out Accies chants of Championies! Next season can;t come quick enough!

Can't wait for Saturday.

These meaningless end of season games are hard to predict - the result does not matter. I have a feeling we'll take about 500 only, despite the fact that I am really looking forward to going to a game to simply have a party - with absolutely no stress about the result.

Of course I'd rather Accies won the game and hence the league by 10 points, but in actual fact that doesn't really matter either, and would be an unfair reflection on Dundee's season (not that I'd lose sleep over that).

In my memory lots of these games end in 1-1 draws - so that might happen again. I'm just looking forward to periods of cheering, singing and laughing interspersed by sitting back quietly sipping a bovril and munching some unhealthy fare. BLISS!

Just wondering how many home fans will turn up? What kind of game do you think it will be, heated? or pointless?


Also, whats the situation with admission? are student prices available for away fans?

Nothing on the homepage about lowering prices and the forum is down atm.

I will be there, going to the hospitality so I'll give youz all a wave or I may just stay in the suite for the whole game and get even more drunk!

I dont think the game will be pointless, the team that wins win get 3 points! I would hope the Dundee players will be determined and will want to win especially as some of the players will be playing their last game for the club and also to prove they are as good as the team that deservedly won the league.

I also hope its a good game, games with dundee usually are.

Just wondering about the issue of student prices, does that count as a concession £8?
Dunfermline, in the cup, refused to give student prices. Which prompted quick calucltation of what my date of birth would be to make me 15

Think its £8 for students,reckon a few home fans might swerve it so prob around 3000 home fans.

This game is about one thing and one thing only now. Scott Robertson.

Just been confirmed on the radio that the dundee players will applaudhamilton on to the pitch on saturday.

Good, although it will be incredibly hard to see and admit for a lot of our fans, Hamitlon are deserved champions and the players ought to be applauded. It won't be easy dragging myself onto a train from Glasgow knowing that the season is over, but giving players like Kev and Robertson a good send off might swing it.

I'll gauge the mood around me before deciding whether or not to clap them onto the park as well.

They deserve our applause. But I won't risk it if those around me are booing!

You could applaud them from the away end ?

Or maybe not.

I've sat in the Shankly stand twice (versus Vllaznia and Perugia)

It's shite on a sunny day.

I think the vast majority that have posted on this site have admitted that Hamilton are indeed deserved champions already. They have been more consistant over the season and have got 3 points when the pressure was on.

Dont forget though we also had a good season.

Has it been confirmed we are in The Shankley Stand ? i thought we were getting chucked in the old stand to accomodate the home support.




cheap shot, but if folk were stupid enough to speculate then they can take it.

It's not a stupid shot; it's just a stupid comment.

Of course the home support would have been larger had there been promotion at stake.

Eh i didn't say it was a stupid shot.

It would have been stupid comment if it had been genuine

I meant cheap shot

I won't, that is why I'll be in attendance to applaud our players for their fantastic efforts this season. My comments weren't really targetting the dees on this site, but more the 'boo boys' who don't have a clue what they are talking about.

Pointless game really just wanted to no what dundee fans will actually be going as the evening times reports accies have got 2 14 year olds set for an apperance and most of the team will most proably be under 19s well done to dundee this season chased us far but not far enough gd luck for next season

Thats okay because we don't have a keeper.

Why?

I'm all for giving the young (extremely young) guys a chance but after our season I'd prefer to be watching the first team squad and showing them our appreciation.

cool, I hear a couple of the u11s are on the bench
