Derry Alli Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 1 hour ago, Wee jeemie said: I can’t remember any abuse of McGinn while he was at dens except one game against Ross co , think it 4 nil at dens and most of the goals came down Paul’s side , apart from that game he got nothing but praise He got loads of abuse. He apparently couldn't defend, we were losing goals at the back post (he was doubled up on as Harlin's and Stewart were way up field) and it was his fault. The blame shifted to them when it was Cammy losing the goals though. He was also chased for not being able to cross. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pens_Dark Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 https://dundeefc.co.uk/news/ryan-sweeney-departs-the-club/ Sweeney gone. Done the job for us in getting promotion but I thought the first half of last season he was particularly poor and contributed to a lot of bad results. We have improved on him in my opinion getting Shaugnessy in. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dundee-FC92 Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Thank f**k Sweeney wanted to move on. 'New and improved deal'. Deary me, Dundee. As it stands whether it was actually the clubs intention or not we are in a stronger position. Another centre back in on a decent wage I'd presume replacing Sweeney. Thank you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See I didn’t blame him when he was left isolated and neither, unlike you, do I blame Cammy. Full backs who can cross really well and defend play in the EPL. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomohawk Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Sweeney's debut, interestingly (or perhaps not), was in the same game that Joe Shaughnessy scored for us! https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/57951050 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossBFaeDundee Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 I liked Sweeney well enough, but a 'new and improved deal'? Help ma boab. I'm sure he'll do fine heading back south. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Bliss Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Retaining 1 from Ashcroft and Sweeney is ideal, not both. Ashcroft was the better of the 2 last season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, said earlier in the thread that the backs (6) that were hopeless in the top league last time weren't going to be any different this time, we have re-signed enough of them. Much as we all like to boo Dundee at the slightest mistake, our fans are not half loyal when it comes to bang average players leaving. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lalo Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Seeing on TDB you aren’t allowed to post any hint of a negative opinion of Sweeney so will post it here Like others I don’t really care he’s left, agree only 1 of the 2 of the pair last season should’ve been retained and i’m happy it’s Ashcroft. Wouldn’t have been too disappointed at Sweeney as a backup tbf, but we should aim for better. Will always appreciate his effort for us and for being the promotion winning captain, one thing you can say is he always gave his all so that won’t be forgotten and he leaves us with fond memories, all the best son 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Sweeny is a solid defender, but does have that one game-changing mistake in him that you're always dreading. If he doesn't go back down south, he'll be a decent signing for a Championship side (odds on him ending up at Dunfermline?). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t help that Bowyer would have no one front to middle of the 6 yard box. Edited June 6, 2023 by Yenitit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your lot should’ve been 5 or 6 up over the 2 legs up until Brian Graham’s crazy handball. On a side note it couldn’t have happened to a better person than Brian Graham. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
