This Charming Man Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Why are you a Dee? Third generation now and proud, although my daughter and step-sons are not interested! Maybe something to do with my experience, however I would refute this. First game? A League Cup group game at Dens against Ayr United in mid 70's, we were thumped 4-2! Where do you sit? South Enclosure of course, albeit migrated to the Bobby Cox Stand for 6 years after it's opening. Longest you've travelled to watch the Dee? Only around Scotland over the years. Ever missed work/event to watch the Dee? Actually used to attend even when on work Emergency Standby when not required. I do recall though just arriving as a minute's silence commenced prior to a game then being in a cold sweat due to a personal and work mobile plus a pager not being on silent. Thankfully no incident. Favourite ever player? Temuri Ketsbaia Most enjoyable game? The 1-0 Sunday night derby victory at Tannadice. Attended this one with a neighbour as my good mate would not give the smeggers the ticket price as it was also on Sky. Packed Dark Blue Shed exploded as James Grady let rip late on after The Dee having to defend most of the game. Absolute bedlam!!!!!! Best goal seen live? Probably Dariusz Adamczuk's mazy end to end run at McDiarmid for sheer perseverance . Favourite away stadium? None of them for me. Although Tannadice was particularly good when Paul Sturrock, Alec Smith and Ian McCall were there. Worst away stadium? East Stirlingshire's Firs Park. Good day though as we clinched promotion there on the last day of the season. Worst player? For compelling and remarkable consistency for a complete lack of concentration, Kevin Gomis. Left Dens and subsequently signed for Grand Quevilly FC in the 6th level in France! No further comment required. Best regards as always. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of Maradona, the film 4 documentary on him recently is well worth a watch. Thank you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do remember we lost and I wonder if your first game was the same as mine? Surely we couldn’t have been beaten by Ayr United twice at home in the same decade?

Hi Shadow, this Ayr United League Cup game would be July or August 1975 just before the first Premier Division season kicking off. My first season, relegation for fvcks sake after finishing level on points with Aberdeen and Dundee United with 32 points from 36 games (2 points for a win). Here we are though, 45 years later, Dark Blue and still as proud as the first game, albeit a tad more weary, lol.

Robin.Hood Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 No, no and no again to Simon Murray. What would he bring to the table that Nelson doesn't? Both have pace and run about daft - that's the limit of Murray's talent. Now I rate Nelson, but understand how some don't, but you can't tell me Murray would bring more to the table.According to wiki..Nelson 31 games 6 goalsMurray 13 games 3goals.Personally I dont think Nelson offers an awful lot so if he was binned he wouldnt be a miss.However Murray is not the answer.It's a no from me 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 James McPake is clearly a traditionalist and he didn't want Dundee to go down as league winners wearing all Dark Blue, so he's been holding off until next season. Completely understandable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossBFaeDundee Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Personally love the Sampdoria shirt design, if I had it my way we'd have worn our Speroni testimonial kits as actual kits. Also would love to see another crack at this away kit. Problem with both kits though is that I think the gold crest completes them both, and they won't be using it any time soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
This Charming Man Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Blue, white and red at home. White, blue and red away imho. Question for the "manager", this one regarding ex Dark Blues out of contract this summer. Craig Forsyth, Andrew Shinnie and obvs Charlie Adam, lol. Any one of these, if match fit, could make a massive difference to us for next season. Personally would prefer Charlie Adam also in the management team with the apparently ineffectual Jimmy Nichol out on his arse. James McPake requires professional assistance! All about opinions, regards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All about opinions, regards. Craig Forsyth has apparently been a revelation for Derby at CH since he's came back from injury. His legs must be gone (With some seriously nasty injuries that he's lucky to be coming back from!) as whilst his height was always key for our goal kicks, it was his legs and energy that made him such an asset for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmouth Strikes Again Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Checking out this site http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Scottish_Football_League/Dundee/Dundee.htm it seems the red was introduced in 1952 with the socks, so the red is probably acceptable. I like the 1971-72 kit, absolute class. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
