That's the worry, and we shouldn't lose sight of what QP did to us a fortnight ago. However, we didn't have Smart that day, and the Hardie carry-on couldn't have helped (where's our captain, Boss? No' sure, he's not answering his phone ). I suspect we'll be very conservative in our outlook on Saturday, let Berwick have the majority of the play, and get out as quickly as we can through Smart and Byrne when Berwick attacks break down. This game is very much about Berwick winning; any other outcome and they're fcuked, so it's their challenge to rise to. I'm buzzing for this game, and the day out before and after, in a way that I haven't since the league title season. However, one thing that I hope we don't do as a support is rub it round Berwick if we do gain at least a point. It really could have been us (some would say should) and there's never been any enmity between the two supports (we've never indulged in the Scotland v England nonsense that some do). The Berwick fans on here are a good bunch as well and will be sick as parrots without any of us making it worse.

I could accept that post from fans of quite a lot of teams, Cowdenbeath are certainly not one of them.

Seriously? You’ve blown 4th Place and you’re slagging Rovers off? Take your slagging and sit down.

I’m not someone who’d consider themselves as trigger happy either, but I’d certainly take Coughlin even now. We’re getting absolutely nothing from the current manager and it seems like the players have downed tools. Even if it took a 5% chance to a 10% chance, I’d do it. If he succeeded, give him a bonus and build statue. If we still went down, I doubt anyone would be looking back saying ‘if only we’d kept Harvey’. I still fear that Harvey is being looked at as the man for next season though. Frightening.

Just an observation, but yourself and your pal Frank conner are two of the worst people on this thread for abusive comments to others.

Arya is about 12 the f**k is goin on

This post is a pile of shite from start to finish. Cove Rangers, as much as they seem like a detestable club, have a long history and a decent enough support, and as far as I'm aware they don't have any sort of sugar daddy. I'm not sure why they would "add" any less to the division than any of the other teams involved, or indeed what that even means. Many of the clubs in the Lowland League are also long established clubs who have been members of the SFA for decades. There are a few newer clubs like East Kilbride, but every club in Scotland was a new club at some point in their history. East Kilbride serve a big town and have the potential to be one of the bigger part-time clubs in the country given time. The only questionable club in their are Edusport, who are the product of some weirdo's ego trip, but they will probably disappear within the next decade. The quality of the league is only going to improve as the best Junior teams slowly filter in - at least one of Bonnyrigg/Bo'ness/Penicuik will arrive this year, and others will follow in the coming seasons. The SFA at no point said there were "too many teams", you've just made that up. And the pyramid had absolutely nothing to do with the Rangers stuff in 2012 - it was introduced a year later at the same time as the SPFL merger. If the SFA/SPL were looking to "bribe" the SFL to let Rangers in, then they would have been more likely to kibosh the pyramid than promote it, given that the SFL clubs are the ones who had the most to lose from it. In football if you finish bottom of the league then you deserve to get relegated. What if the SPFL made the same argument you have about League 1 and didn't let Clyde up? Just because Stenhousemuir/Brechin finished bottom doesn't mean they weren't trying their best - let's just keep them in League 1 again.

Evening all. Spent a short time reading this evenings input. however have you seen the spelling and grammar of DU83's posting? Roughly 68% of the population has an IQ between 85 and 115, safe to say we can guess what the 83 refers to. Lol Entertaining none the less. Best regards.

He was the first person to win the Scottish Professional Football Player's Association Young Player of the Year for two years on the trot, if that counts.

Thick Gammon Found. Where is the 'DNA Evidence' you speak of linking the two? Yet to be found or profiled. As for Soldier F, the GFA does not stop everyone being prosecuted, it just holds a maximum of two years. However there is currently debate that if that only applies to 'terror' organisations. The evidence against him is pretty substantial given that the others could all be done still for perjury. The man is/was a psychopath. Anyway f**k Soldier F and f**k whoever killed the poor girl. Hopefully they get the sentences they deserve.

I'm sad that pressures of work have meant I've hardly seen us in 2019. Caught a fair few games before the Christmas break; I actually was frustrated then by the squad seemingly a little light, which meant results were patchy and inconsistent. Montrose gave signs that they were to be reckoned with however with that 3-2 win over Raith in December, who were genuinely the worst full time football team I've ever seen. I just wanted to come on and congratulate the players, staff and directors for delivering another memorable season, however it ends up. We'll be playing whoever finishes 9th in the Championship should we confirm our place in the play offs. Nothing to fear from Falkirk if it's them, or QoS I think. Alloa, Partick, Morton would be tough. We lost a couple of important players last summer (one of whom has since come back and there's a rumour another is returning) and it took us quite a while to adjust. It really is an outside prospect of us "doing a Brechin" this season and many fear the consequences if that were to happen. However, we aren't Brechin and Petrie is no Darren Dods. If the outrageous actually happened and we won promotion, we'd lose a lot again next season but I'd fancy us to give it a right good go. What we lack in quality we make up for in sheer determination. Perhaps some of the older squad members will move on in the summer and regardless of whether we are sandbagging defensive trenches for an unexpected season in the second tier, or trying to make a few canny additions for a shot at the League One promotion race, we're in a nice situation at present. In John Paton's time as chairman the aim for Montrose was to be a third tier side making regular forays into the second tier. It seemed almost unachievable with squads full of eminently forgettable players. After a quarter of a century of that being an unfulfilled aspiration, many of these seasons as a laughing stock at the bottom of the senior game, we've finally made that aspiration good. Keep going, lads. Let's see where this takes us.

Looked like he headbutted Cerny in the hand to me tbh.

I'm doing great thanks and so are the brood! I am the best I've been in a year. Waiting on the Queen Elizabeth giving me a date for my stem cell transplant, should be a few weeks maximum wait. Wee bit nervous but know it will be worth it in the long run.

I'll have your kidneys and liver.

Given the Manager's supremely awful record, our current edge-of-the-cliff position and the clear evidence that performances are actually getting worse, I can't decide which is most amazing - The manager's refusal to walk out of embarrassment, or The Board's stubborn refusal to give him a shove.

You’ve been struggling of late cardigan. Losing the right to the Aussie quiz, the supermegaleagues, no Easter quiz...please consider this your vote of confidence from the board. We remain behind you and consider you the right man for the job. As demonstrated by having to come out and confirm it, obviously.

A "journalist" working for a paper that relies on the custom of Rangers and Celtic supporters for its existence asks a deliberately loaded question of that customer group and gets the answer he wanted....EXCLUSIVE!

" Man Loses Virginity"

It's not even the mismanagement that irks me most It's the arrogance. Exemplified by wrongly accusing the fanbase of racism and refusing to apologise.

Ludere Causa Expenses

I'm fairly cold when it comes to these things. We have our boot at Berwick's throat , now time to push down. Any sentiment or sympathy will be spared for after the game. Have lots of good memories at Berwick - a good old fashioned ground with immaculate playing surface- the choice of food second to none and a lot if decent fans.Not that I'll be celebrating if we pull safety off well only in the sense of relief than any sense of achievement. It's been a dire season where we have only turned up for the last quarter. The club did a huge diservice to the fans earlier in the season by that absolutely bonkers..totally bonkers appointment. From what I hear ( footy fans are like wee knitting bees with their gossip) the players don't want Hardie back so that may settle the situation at least to the end of the season. We had the lifeline of the 3 points from the Clyde game along with the sudden passing of Michael Dukes which seems to have galvanised the players albeit a huge misfortune to his family. I think saturday was the first time this season we have gone down but come back win. Was impressed that after we equalised we cut short the celebrations to grab the ball out of the net to get back up to the centre. Me and other Rovers fans were screaming to calm down as a draw was fine by us. The players had other ideas. As for Berwick the word on the street prior to Harvey's appointment was he was widely despised in the East of Scotland league. Huge error getting the 90 year old fan in the dressing room after the Annan game- hugely symbollic that was - taking no responsibility for the players. Worse though was having a go at the fans after the QP game- you just don't do that.

Hi, I've probably not been eloquent enough, but I've added this. There is a long list of people reacting exactly the way you'd expect to, though, so I'm probably pissing into a wind worse than what wheechs up the Clyde on game day in January, though.

So for example Hill of Beath Haws didn't fancy travelling to Dundee (35 miles, motorway and dual carriageway all the way, a journey of less than an hour each way) but did fancy travelling to Coldstream (75 miles away, mostly on windy roads, a 90 minute journey each way) to Tweedmouth 80 miles away or to Gretna or Mid-Armadale in the Cup? And even if it was about the money, so what? Why would Hill of Beath want to stay in the East Juniors when they'll be in the East of Scotland Premier playing against some decent teams and with their traditional rivals Kelty in the same pyramid structure? Kelty v Haws in the Lowland League in a few years? Cowdenbeath potentially falling into that same league? Considering the East Juniors didn't want part of the pyramid at that stage, what possible reason would they have for staying?

Jesus, work experience at Falkirk, think he'll choose a different career.

Shaughan’s on the tele these days, speak for yoursel!

I swithered long and hard between going to watch the Broxburn game where they could clinch the title and the Edinburgh v Blackburn game where everything was on the line for the visitors re getting to the Premier League - the latter won out as I suspected Broxburn had an easy task and it turned out to be so. So, Paties Road. The hosts were apparently top notch last week against Heriot-Watt, which set up the Blackburn game as the weekends most important encounter and you could see just why they’d managed to lance the university’s hopes by the way they got in and about Blackburn in the first half. However, they couldn’t turn that early prominence into a goal and a great double save early in the second half by the visiting keeper laid the foundation for a comfortable and deserving win for the visitors - timing is everything and boy did they not time their run to fifth place and ‘promotion’ perfectly?! As an aside, I felt a little bit voyeuristic at the end when, on leaving, I saw who I later learned was Blackburn’s President/Chairman in what seemed two genuinely emotional embraces with two ladies who I’m guessing were also involved with the Club. You could see just how much it meant to each of them and it is exactly this commitment that should draw more people to the game at this level. I might even try to get along more often myself now!

Yeah.... Which infinitely less lazy than ignoring the fact that the vast majority of voters on a Record Old Firm puff piece will be Old Firm supporters. We all know where you stand, and you are talking shite.

Not sure if this should be in TV and Movies. I found a YouTube channel a while ago that makes simulations of incidents involving planes in the last half century. Most are crashes but not all, some near misses etc. It is made by pilots, simulates the.movements of the planes accurately, explains the background to each, event itself and aftermath. They are magnificent videos and I find them absolutely mesmerising. Love the music too. Here are a couple of my favourites, nervous fliers might not want to watch the first one

I think the remaining games might be the most boring combination of fixtures the computer could possibly have given us. We're likely playing Dundee and St Mirren too early for us to be able to send either of them doon. Motherwell vs St Johnstone/Livi doesn't exactly set the heart raging during the regular season, let alone when we've got literally nothing to play for. Only thing I'm really left looking forward to is some more glimpses of the Young Team/Declan Gallagher. ETA that for legal reasons I should probably say that any mention of Declan Gallagher and young teams was purely coincidental.

A loss more than likely confirms Dundee as being doon, and they'll accuse us of "lying down" for the next five years afterwards. St Mirren win pls, Alan Main to chuck a couple in.

FIFA sucking up to the World Famous.

Stay up or go down, clear out needed all the same. Enough is enough.

A bit of perspective on a sunny day, here hoping he makes a full recovery

absolutely nothing wrong with broadwood the stadium facilities are good view of the pitch again top notch . This idea that you have to have 10 pubs surrounding the ground to cater for who ? lots of fans don't go for a drink before games the Arria is excellent as one of the locals said there are pubs within walking distance or get the train have a drink in the town getting in and out by car is again fine ideally we would be back in Rutherglen/ surrounding area broadwood isn't ideal but still one of the best in the league my favourite forthbank I couldn't give a rats if away fans don't like the day out especially in this division where it's usually 60 or 70 turning up Stirling/ queens only decent away support

I would find it slightly amusing if we could condemn the imposter Gary Harkins to a relegation play off.

It’s the last throw of dice - do nothing and we are fucked- relegated with all the baggage that brings. Taking a chance (it’s not a chance IMO) with someone like say Cough might give team a boost. At minute it very much appears to be fingers in ears saying “la la la” As Craig said it hasn’t worked - that’s football

As things currently stand, pretty much anybody (or even nobody as @Redcar suggested) would be better than JH right now. FWIW I don't understand why the club didn't try to attract Jim Jeffries onto the board before he went off to Edinburgh, and why they never took up Pat Nevin's offer to get involved when he spoke at the celebratory dinner a couple of years back. Having one or both as either a director or ambassador would've made the club a more attractive investment to outsiders.

Not well, no.

I’ve seen relations of three players calling the manager since Saturday, suggests players have little confidence in him. Now departed youth coaches liking posts calling for the manager to go. What more evidence is required to make the change? It hasn’t worked for JH at Berwick, that’s football, he probably knows he made too many changes to the squad but there has to come a point when people with power admit to this and call it a day.

This is hindsight talking though. If McGlynn didn’t need to sign replacements for Wright, Gillespie, Armstrong, Hendry, Vaughan and even Dingwall, we’d quite possibly have signed a defender. As it was, he’s signed a lot of players as replacements for injuries, they haven’t just been a pain in the arse for certain games (seven probable starters out yesterday, plus a few youths) but have dictated what McGlynn can do in the transfer market. If he hadn’t signed the likes of Barjonas and James Berry for instance was performing poorly, he’d be getting absolute pelters for not dipping into the loan market. Barjonas will be costing us virtually nothing but it’s obvious he would if he doesn’t play - hence he always plays. Tough gig being a football manager. McGlynn made the only calls he could make at the time, for me, and they’ve not worked out due to a range of circumstances - some his fault, some not.

Enjoy this sight next season lads and lassies

Honestly can't believe people didn't think that was a foul on Salah. The ref should have done his job well before Salah had to go down to force the shitebag to make a decision.

I did hear last summer that the Colts had failed on many of their promises and that NLL weren’t willing to extend their lease beyond this summer. I’m sure I’ve also heard whispers that the setup will move out to Guys Meadow?? No sure. Once the Colts are out then I’ll be hiring a cherry picker and putting my IPAF certificate to good use and pull that Colts crest down from the building and rip that “home of the Colts” sign off at the scoreboard. It can then be an auction prize at their next fundraising event, maybe they’ll get a few quid for it.

More Accies I’m afraid... But this uber-staunch advertising is spectacularly tinpot

League One forum for this pish.

Have just sent this to jnelms@dundeefc.co.uk Dear Mr Nelms, It is with a heavy heart that I find myself in the position of having to write this e-mail. I've been a Dundee fan for as long as I can remember. I've seen us play in cup finals (winning and losing), play in Europe, win promotion and secure tremendous results home and away, sometimes against all the odds. I've also seen relegation, cup exits to lower league teams, thumping defeats at home and away and two administrations. However, I've never been more disheartened and disillusioned with the club than at present. We seem to be drifting aimlessly to relegation, with very little shown on the pitch to give any hope that we may be able to stage any kind of upturn in our playing fortunes. I have to say that the blame for this lies fairly and squarely on the shoulders of the team manager. Mystifying team selections, baffling substitutions (or lack thereof) and post-match interviews that seem to leave us all wondering if he has been watching the same games as the rest of us, all contribute to the all-consuming sense of a doomed inevitability to the remainder of this season. I know that it is easy for fans to say that they would have picked this player or that formation or made that substitution or this tactical change, but I know of absolutely no Dundee fan, from either face-to-face or online contact, who has the slightest bit of confidence in the manager. I'm not saying that I know what I would do differently that would definitely give us a chance, but it has become clear to me that Mr McIntyre absolutely does not have the necessary skills to do this. I take no pleasure in urging someone to be made unemployed, but I can see only positives from relieving him of his duties. Firstly, there is a chance that a new manager/management team would be able to change things up, either personnel-wise or tactics-wise for the final, crucial 4 (or maybe even, hopefully, 6) games of the season. Secondly, a new manager would have some competitive fixtures to assess the playing and coaching set-up for next season, rather than relying exclusively on pre-season friendlies. Conversely, the dangers of not making a change are not just limited to almost certain relegation. There is a very real possibility that I, and no doubt hundreds (or even thousands) of other season ticket holders will not feel that it is worthwhile renewing their ticket for next season. The financial impact will compound the errors of this season and make it more difficult to push for promotion next season. There is also the, in my opinion, very real danger of following the example of Partick Thistle and making a poor start to next season and be more likely to exit the Championship downwards, rather than upwards. The most pressing danger, apart from relegation is that fans will, as I believe has already started, simply lose heart and stop actively following the club, as defeat follows defeat, poor play continues and the air of despondency lingers. I hope that you and the Board of Directors will take the brave step of making a swift, decisive change to give us even the tiniest glimmer of hope for salvaging this season. I have absolutely no doubt that the manager has tried to do what he thought was best for the club, but I believe that tough choices have to be made, and made now. I hope that I can see Dundee FC playing Premiership football next season, and I hope that you agree with me that there is nothing more important at this stage than giving us a fighting chance throughout the next few weeks. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I hope it gives you an idea as to the deep-rooted love I have for the club and the desire I have to see us maintain our rightful place at Scottish football's top table. Kind Regards, I doubt it'll make a difference, but at least it feels like I'm doing something!!

"We are going to reform the Lords" (honest this time) "We are going to end austerity" (abstain abstain abstain) "we are going to get rid of nuclear weapons" (lets all vote for new ones) "We will nationalise everything" (Yip same as the last time) Been there heard it Now away and waffle about big business or some other shite

Why don't they simply scrap the other 40 teams in the league and replace them with 20 Celtic and 20 Rangers reserve teams? Then every match will be an OF derby and Scottish football will be saved.
