DAFC. Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 47 minutes ago, Poet of the Macabre said: Was there a Friday night or midweek game at Motherwell? We lost to 10 men I think. Had a superb night out after that one, despite being raging at the team. Yeah, that was a midweek game to Motherwell. We lost 3-1. Craigen got himself stupidly sent off early on and Motherwell looked more than cosy, even with 10 men. They had a good team that season. We were more than hopeless. It would have took 3 men being sent off and Messi playing for us to have got anything out the game. Not sure if it was his debut, but Henrik Ojamaa ripped us apart that night. I believe it was a double he scored. I knew that night that it would take some incredible shitehousery from Hibs for us to stay up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poet of the Macabre Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Brutal. Andy Kirk scored though; he was superb that season for such a terrible team. 11 SPL goals was no mean feat that year. My worst moments of the season was the 4-0 shellacking at Tynecastle where Barlow got injured and then following Xmas Eve horror show against St Johnstone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My worst moments of the season was the 4-0 shellacking at Tynecastle where Barlow got injured and then following Xmas Eve horror show against St Johnstone. That was the worst for me. A totally gutless, abject performance. One of the worst I've ever seen, actually, even though the scoreline wasn't THAT bad (3-0 to the Saints, if I remember rightly?) Andy Kirk and Joe Cardle the best performers that season. If McIntyre wasn't so loyal to players like Dowie, Keddie, BMMMH, Mason et al, we could have probably made a better go at staying up with a new team. But that was perhaps the cracks beginning to show for what was going to unfold the following season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poet of the Macabre Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Everything about the club was reliant on us being a top flight team. Those in charge probably thought they'd got away with it when we won the title but going down straight away was a disaster for their "business plan". That being said, any organisation that pays Andy Dowie over £1K per week to play football deserves to face admin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1885 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 That season was brutal but the wins on the road at Tannadice and Rugby Park were tremendous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Khaki Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 (edited) First competitive match of last season against a decent standard of opposition. League Cup group game at Dens v's Dunfermline. Sceptical of McCann, but giving him benefit of doubt and holding out hope that the bunch of total unknown quantities he'd signed over the summer would turn out more Kamara'esque pieces of inspired business rather than Moussa-level haddies. We stunk the place out. Got out-muscled, out-played, out-managed, looked totally insipid and incapable, comfortable victory to Dunfermline. Knew right there and then McCann was hopeless, he'd signed a load of utter keech, and we were in for a long, hard season battling relegation. Turned out it was even worse than on first appearances and it wasn't even much of a battle. I just shake my head at folk who seem to think sacking McCann and appointing McIntyre was what got us relegated. McCann had 18 months, three transfer windows, and all he did was drive us closer and closer to the abyss. No signs of a coherent plan, tactical direction, any comprehension of what the players could and could not do in that time. Nothing. Telling that we binned more or less his entire squad and replaced them from scratch in January, and we still looked no worse off. The single most depressing start to a season I can remember in decades, never mind just the last one.
