#19: DEE vs LIV 5-0

Ah yes, another “grueling” afternoon for Dundee — if you call casually dismantling Livingston grueling. We politely let them believe they were contenders, but the table says otherwise: nine wins, one slip, and a goal difference that looks more like a cheat code. Javier Artero keeps scoring just to stay in the Golden Boot conversation, while poor Robbie Muirhead and Arne Engels cling to six goals like lifebuoys. Livingston sits fourth, which sounds respectable until you notice the 8 goals we’ve conceded all season. Honestly, we’re running out of ways to make this look competitive. Final score? Let’s just say Dundee remain top, Livingston remain hopeful.

#20: RR vs DEE 2-5

Oh, what a tragedy for us poor Dundee lads — forced to score five times just to prove a point. Steven Caulker clearly didn’t get the memo about keeping things dramatic, bagging two before Raith Rovers even woke up. Josh Meekings joined the fun, and Claudio Caniggia decided nostalgia goals still count. Artero politely finished things off from the spot, because why not. Sure, Healey tried to spoil the party with a brace, but we generously allowed it — charity work, really. Our keeper Gadzhalov even stole Man of the Match, as if saving everything in sight was some kind of hobby. Final score: 5–2. Another day, another “struggle” at the top.

One third of the season over - 2.7 PPG, all is well ...

Match #15: ARB vs DEE 1-5

Arbroath kindly hosted a goal-fest for Dundee FC, who graciously accepted with five delightful finishes. Kerr Waddell opened the scoring before the clock had a chance to warm up, followed by Meekings and Fatello, who apparently mistook the match for a shooting gallery. Caulker added a fourth just to be polite. Arbroath responded in the 69th minute - presumably to remind us they were still on the pitch. Man of the Match? Our keeper, Kostadin Gadzhalov, who spent the afternoon swatting away hopeful Arbroath attempts like flies at a picnic. Final score: 5–1. A generous donation to our goal difference fund. Thanks, lads.

Match #16: DUM vs DEE 1-2

Dundee FC bravely overcame the terrifying might of Dumbarton’s one-goal tsunami in a nail-biting 2–1 thriller. After surviving 14 shots on target (yes, fourteen), our heroic keeper Kostadin Gadzhalov single-handedly kept the laws of physics intact. Callum Shepherd briefly gave Dumbarton hope - how sweet. But Sam Stanton immediately reminded them who’s boss, and Josh Meekings sealed the deal with a header that defied gravity and logic. We generously allowed Dumbarton to dominate possession and stats, just to make it interesting. Man of the Match? Obviously Gadzhalov, who apparently moonlights as a brick wall. Another win, another day atop the table. You're welcome, Division 1.
