The conversation on here is really taking the biscuit! Are there any signing rumours?

Be prepared to get kicked off the park. That's the way they play. They had some really big lads last season when I saw them playing at Elgin.

Yep. The other problem was that Elgin had a fit Shane Sutherland playing for them. It's only injuries that have prevented him from being a top class striker. He did really well for Caley last season before he got injured again in the play offs.

To be fair to Dundee, in that 1-2 loss to Elgin at Dens, it was about the only occasion Rabin Omar managed a shot on target in his time playing for Elgin; yet he scored an absolute belter of a goal.

Elgin away please. It's about the only chance I'll get to see Dundee play in person this season due to work commitments.

Thanks Ludo. It's nice to hear some rumours, even if it turns out to be nothing.

I take it you are on the wind up? They are a Scottish Championship side.

Panmure can't be looking for a new manager?

You will pass the ball about the back for ages then someone will punt an aimless ball up to a midget striker. You will lose the game due to the defence being badly organised and McPake will claim you dominated the game and failed to take your chances. The players will be allowed to be lazy on the pitch and fail to press the opposition. Sorry to be pessimistic but it was torture watching Dundee under his management.

Elgin are having to travel to Ayr and Annan. Utterly disgraceful to put that sort of financial pressure on small clubs.

Why would they do that just for you?

Where did I try to convince myself it's a good appointment? Did you even read my post? Good grief!

I prefer looking at evidence rather than hype. McGhee has done well at most clubs when he first comes in then it all goes pear shaped the following season when he's time to sign his own players. We were never going to get Jack Ross in my opinion so, although I'm a bit underwhelmed by the McGhee appointment, his record really isn't as bad as some people make out. I'm going to reserve judgement, as he and his team will hopefully be able to prevent the all too frequent lazy performances we have seen under McPake's tenure. If he manages to get the new manager bounce he achieved earlier in his career I will be delighted. This is a man who almost got the Celtic job a number of years ago so he must have something about him. Arbroath signed an aging manager not long after his previous club had sacked him for poor performances and he's doing a great job.

I remember us winning 1-0 in Perth when Thomas Konrad was outstanding in defence. We stole the game that day. Funnily enough, Sweeney reminds me of Konrad a wee bit. Running into Konrad was like running into a brick wall, he was as hard as nails and Sweeney is similar and a lot taller. Hopefully he has another good game if he plays. He was very good against Rangers.

I have to agree with that. There aren't many Scottish centre halves with his technical ability. He's a top player, no doubt about it.
