The best United performance I've ever witnessed in the flesh, and I'm no youngster! Shame it couldn't last. Aye, I was there too; it was a masterclass. Motherwell had won five on the bounce going into that game but I remember Stuart McCall making no excuses and saying it was the best performance he had seen by an away team at Fir Park since he had become manager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArabFC Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 I guess from this that Kieran Freeman will be getting offered a new deal. Would still expect at least Adam King and Cammy Smith to be allowed to leave. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank Christ we will never see Sow getting shoehorned into a United team again; if only we could say the same for a player whose initials are PP. 21 minutes ago, Twinkle said: Far from impressed at Watson being allowed to move on.

Better than both Reynolds and Connolly Agree he's better, but being out of contract, and given the current financial uncertainties, Watson is the one who has to look for another club. Surprised at Josh Donaldson going but again, he's also out of contract. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArabFC Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 In other news, it looks like we're not gonna have a Dundee derby for another wee while. With Hearts almost certainly getting relegated now the Dee will have no chance of winning the league next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On another note, when will @Div set GTF day? I’ve got a 200 page dossier of evidence that shows malfeasance if it’s not done by next weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mishtergrolsch Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Another reason Jackie McNamara was an absolute fucking joke. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/luis-zwick-reveals-incredible-dundee-21995172 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumigoo Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 A fair bit of chat on Twitter about this yesterday. Zwick, in my opinion, was badly managed more than anything. He was chucked in against Aberdeen at home on the opening day of the season, with Durnan and Donaldson ahead of him. We then persisted with him. Our goalkeepers were unbelievably inexperienced at the time. If he had been a backup for a couple of seasons he may well have developed into a reasonable goalkeeper but his signing, and then lack of development (whilst also being thrown into first team action) summed up McNamara as a manager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was a fan of another club I’d be absolutely pissing myself at this. McNamara should have been binned at the end of the 2014/15 season based on our second half season results. He wasn’t and we paid the price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mishtergrolsch Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 (edited) Who knows how he would have been when managed by a competent management team. I wish no Ill will towards Zwick, he was rubbish but he was signed and played and that's not his fault (it's his dads for sending a video to McNamara!). But, as Granny says, McNamara should have been punted the end of the 2014/15 season as we were fucking pish and that's where the downward cycle started. Going with two young keepers with hardly a top team professional game between had the alarm bells ringing at full volume across Tayside. To have those keepers being defended by Donaldson and Durnan had the rest of Scotland rightly pishing themselves.

Granny Danger Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Nice bit of reminiscing in today’s Courier from Sieb ‘the pornstar’ Dijkstra. One of the more colourful characters of recent years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dundee Hibernian Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 McNamara should have been sacked following the 2014 Cup Final, and never given the chance to manage the club in 2014-15. But the downside is Stephen Thompson would have been picking the next manager, who might have been as bad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
