The hard truths about our beloved football squad (since 2024)

Disaster strikes - twice (this week)!

We admit Dundee has won both matches this weekend. Having watched those matches, we can only conclude that we've been insanely lucky - and both Stranraer and Nairn felt pity for our team.
However, 6 much needed points to maybe stay in Div1.

The mid-week cup match was not finished at the time of going to press, but we can safely assume that mighty Stranraer has steamrolled over our guys.

Still, you might ask: what disasters!?

Disaster #1: Glass scores!
MF Declan Glass was leading the Shooting Squib trophy by miles. All of his 15 "attempts" at scoring failed, miserably but expectable when you know who his coach is.
What would a smart coach do now? Just send Glass to a cheap vacation spot in Bulgaria or even the Congo - but never ever let him play and shoot again this season!
Of course, attempt #16, against Stranraer's U18 goalie, found it's way INTO the net.
Once more, game over, Dundee can't even win the Shooting Squib!!!

Disaster #2: Piles of money down the drain!
We all know that Dundee has an incomptetent coach. Too bad he's ALSO manager.
The only way he knows to stay competitive is buying, buying, buying.
Now, buying young players with a bright future is something we can definitely agree with. But WHAT HAPPENS!?
Dundee buy old man OConnor, way past his prime for a RECORD fee! What's next, zombie Maradona!?
Bad enough, but even worse: Dundee way overpaid, as DUM manager Scott has thoroughly calculated.
It's bad enough to be bad, but bad AND broke is just too much!!!

Just sack this guy!

The hard truths about our beloved football squad (since 2024)

Cut the crap!

 Another week - another disaster!
 Another relegation 6-pointer vs East Fife, at home: just one team came to play, the visitors!
 Near total dominance by the Fifers and a deserved lead, only a late lucky equalizer gave the Blues at least 1 point.
 Most surprisingly, several of Dundee's star players didn't show up at all.
 If you can't defeat your relegation rivals at home, how do you plan to stay in Div1!?
 
 The away match was over before the start. Hibernians shows what a competent coach can achieve with even seemingly mediocre players.
 Again, several overpaid Blues were missing, but we don't think it would have made any difference.
 An easy 3-1 win of the clearly superior team. 
 Only some envious crazy number crunchers would call the Hi-Bees "lucky".
 
 Those two matches just showed - once more - the impact of quality coaching, so can we please 
 Sack this guy!
