  1. We can dream. Most of the live games I watch these days has no VAR, and players and fans just get on with it. Controversial decision? Moan at the ref for a minute, but shut up quickly because the ball is back in play and the game's moved on. Score a goal? Quick glance at the linesman to see it's onside then immediate celebrations. Was that a pen? Ref shakes his head, zero second stoppage. I was always against VAR for reasons I stated a few times before it was introduced. It's actually turned out worse than I feared.
  2. I gave it to Robinson tonight. Put in another good shift up top and a cracking to goal to set us (and him) on our way.
  3. Every time Jim Goodwin loses a game, the world gets a wee bit better.
  4. Louis Moult back tae haunt... ...whit? ach, never mind. Take your pick...
  5. I'd moved to England for work by that season, otherwise I'd have boosted those average attendances by about 0.05. Sorry about that.
  6. I'm hoping Zach Robinson is inspired to score against his old Dundee rivals. I'm not unhappy with his contributions, but I think a goal or two will raise his levels.
  7. It was the calls for Tommy Wright that gave me the fear. Thankfully, he relegated Killie instead.
  8. Consistent anything over the course of a season would have seen a far better league position for us, but that is the story of 6 or 7 Premiership teams every season. The differences between 10th a 6th are often very fine margins. Whether that's converting 5% more chances, conceding 5% less goals or stringing a run of 6 or 7 games together. The stat about the 13 times we didn't score is exactly why Kettlewell was not punted. Because the players were still obviously playing for him and each other, and we weren't showing the classic relegation form of folding after conceding early and going on to lose by a hat full every week.
  9. You didn't notice when he quickly sussed out Kevin van Veen was more effective in a front 2?
  10. Mixing champagne and claret sounds like the worst drink ever.
  11. If we had to recoup the same level of investment we get from the sponsors, a sponsor-free shirt would probably cost about 300 quid.
  12. Champagne shirts. Lacking in fizz and no finish. Take your pick...
  13. Moses Ebiye wins us the game with his Craig Reid tribute act in the 94th minute.
  14. As a kit it's nice. I'm still, however, not a fan of the 3rd kit idea in general.
  15. Dean Cornelius on the the telly here, playing in the Harrogate v Doncaster game.
  16. George was part of the revolution at Ipswich when Bobby Robson brought in his Dutch players. Great team to watch and very successful for a "provincial" side. Hope he kicks its arse.
  17. Derek Adams quickly coming unstuck at Morecambe.
  18. Looking at the decor in the apartment I'm guessing we're keeping him in a safe house at a undisclosed location.
  19. For whatever reason, managers rarely drop a keeper, regardless of poor form. It's something that has been happening across the leagues all my football watching life.
  20. Aberdeen have been doing well, but struggled to break down Ross County last weekend and were saved from going a goal down thanks to a very marginal VAR decision. If Maswanhise has a go at their defence, we have a chance. Our record at Pittodrie hasn't been too bad in recent years.
  21. I think Clarke did a good job of taking the most shambolic international setup I have seen in my lifetime and turning back into a team that could at least qualify for finals again. Even if the process wasn't pretty at times. However, both finals severely exposed his limitations as a manager. I was willing to cut him some slack after the first one, but the most recent performance at the Euros proved not only had he not learned anything, but had actually regressed. The game against Hungary summed it up perfectly - a must-win game with zero shots on target. I don't see any improvement while he his still in charge. Congrats to Wilson, though - well deserved based on his recent performances.
  22. I hate this post and anybody who agrees with it.
