Re-scheduled for next Tuesday, with the entire Ayr squad suffering a post Burns Night hangover and bellies too full of tatties and neeps...

Hoping to continue the momentum here, with the re-scheduled Ayr game next midweek to bolster our upward push. There is a kind of mixture of excitement and dread wondering how McPake will screw things up between now and game time with his wacky management decisions...

As of 13:52 - Nothing on BBC or Dundee website... Or SPFL one

Totally agree, Wright was fairly average when he was here. I totally expected Greg to flourish at Ibrox, having a lot more time on the ball, more opportunities to take on opposing defences etc. It just never seemed to work out. Probably fair to see that he hasn't really had much success apart from his last season at Cowdenbeath and his time at Dens? Loan spells at Aberdeen and Killie were meh at best, from what I recall. He should come home, where everyone loves him (until his first misplaced pass, obviously...)

Wonder if they'll try and bring Greg home before newco try and punt him to Aberdeen in exchange for Scott Wright. (BTW, as he was leaving Dens, who would have imagined using Greg as a makeweight in a deal for Scott Wright????)

Live scenes from the Dens Boardroom:

Loan deal until the end of the season, then??

Quality entertainment, this....

I presume they must be without a pot in which to piss... If only they had had good COVID insurance....

Can't really see us getting Clark, would be hilarious, if true. Why would we want Shankland? He's scored what, 3 times this season?? Waste of a wage (and far too tefal-headed for us)

Unstoppable force meets very moveable object. Unfortunately, Unstoppable force has McPake in charge - 3-2 home win with Ayr scoring twice in the last 15 minutes...

Who could you possibly mean by that??!!

Footballers have the special elite athlete exemption for essential training, matches, trips to Dubai etc...

FTFY

Fife "banter"

Would like to see some of the fringe players get a run out here - N Hamilton, Anderson, Moore etc. Even Fin has not had that many games, so hopefully a chance to get some playing time under his belt...

League Cup semis. Brilliant, thanks for that.

Was looking on the SPFL website and BBC, but couldn't see anything there: Is there any reason why there isn't a full card on 23rd January? As far as I can see, there are two games then and what appears to be the rest of those fixtures on 10th February. Is that correct? If so, why was there a change? Cheers

Would you stop being so reasonable? You're a DAB and meant to be an gibbering numpty... Anyway, Happy New Year to you.

Dundee on a half-decent run - check Dundee finding scoring prowess, with 3 in each of their last three games - check Fans anticipating a mouth-watering clash with the league leaders - check Hugely embarrassing 4-goal defeat incoming - check back on Sunday....

Hasn't even been on the bench the last few games, from what I can see. No idea why he can't be given a wee run out, surely he can't be worse than what we already have???

Conflicting thoughts in my head when seeing your avatar picture and mentioning underwear..... Like the idea of the club ripping everyone off with the chocolate bar!!!!

Did any fellow Dees get any lovely DFC-related tat for Xmas?? I did, and it summed up 2020 in such an apt manner... I got the "DFC - On This Day" book, so I naturally looked up my birthday to see what happened then. What did I discover? A rampant 3-0 win over Celtic? A comfortable win over the DABS? A Scottish Cup victory with an exciting comeback from 3-0 down to win 4-3? The announcement of one of the Bonetti-era superstars?? Nope, I got the tragic story of Hugh Ferguson, a prolific goal scorer who signed for us after scoring the winning goal in the 1927 FA Cup Final for Cardiff, only scored twice in 17 games for us, developed depression and decided to commit suicide at Dens. Merry Blooming Christmas....

Do Alloa have any "high-profile" fans that can make an arse of themselves by demanding access to this game? The drummer from Travis? The guy who was once on a few episodes of River City? The woman that sometimes does the weather on STV? There must be someone....

This is the last of the three game mini run of decent-ish performances I predicted, 2-0 here, before a pumping to Hearts and McPake looking like a deer in the headlights once more...
