McKenzie? Dave McEwan. There used to be highlights of the game Dunfermline won 5-0 in 2005. Can't find them anywhere. Worst goalkeeping performance I've ever witnessed in professional football from Derek Soutar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big crowd in as well, with a large travelling support as well. Soutar made a clattering arse of at least a couple of the goals from what I recall. A rare Derek Young hattrick was had. Can't find footage of either, but this match report notes Soutar's blunders; http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/scot_prem/4521591.stm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrunitedfw Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Best- Craig Nelson, Ludovic Roy, Kevin Cuthbert, Alan Martin, Ross Doohan Meh- David Crawford, Graeme Smith, Craig Samson Greg Fleming (if it wasn’t for his penalty heroics I think he’d be in worst) Worst- Barry John Corr, Ally Brown, David Hutton, Jordan Hart, Jack Ruddy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 It's an absolute shocker that Alex Rae deemed Craig Samson a superior keeper to Ludovic Roy. I've mentioned before that's what inspired my username, but I genuinely believe we might have pipped Hamilton to the league title if it were not for Samson's ridiculous mistakes. Twice that season he dallied on the ball too long and booted it off a player and into his own net. Also, put in a horrendous performance against QotS at home in a game we were beaten 2-3. Colin McMenamin's debut. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derry Alli Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) Julian Speroni. Small in stature, big in heart. Couldn't kick a ball. Excellent. Robert Douglas. Man mountain, pus punching brickie lunatic. Couldn't kick a ball. Terrific throwin' ability. Great guy. Excellent. Scott Bain. First season was unreal then became too big for his boots. Still had some great performances. All round - good for Dundee. The rest are just a conveyor of shite to middlin. Don't deserve mentioned by name or remembered in any way.

He was an absolute bag of nerves that season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Often both in the same game. Nicky Weaver and Szamotulski were great, but at that point we seemed to be in a bizarre position where we would sign a brilliant keeper that we couldn't get for another six months, so we'd sign someone even better in the interim, the release them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A quick wiki suggests he made his first start in October 2004 and was released in January 2005. Some effort. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to think that if he had signed under different circumstances he would have been a decent keeper for us, to have the career he has had he obviously has the talent. The relegation battle, being badly caught out in the first game against Dundee, the shitshow at the club and the work permit issues all contributing to a rubbish time at Tannadice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH he was the only reason we got as far as Dens. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammer Jag Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 21 hours ago, Nightmare said: Totally forgot about him. Yuck, straight in the “shite” category. You remembered all the ones I did plus a few more. Can’t be many more left. Bizarrely I’ve just remembered we had Stephen Pinkowski in the squad in one of the football videogames of the time, but no idea if he ever started a game for us. He came on as a sub early on in Scottish Cup tie at Cappielow after Kenny Arthur got injured. Morton were flying in the old Second Division, we were bottom of the SPL. Pinkowski played a blinder and we coasted it 3-0. Then the Morton players went to the bookies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
