Session 3: a LOSS!!! How come?

Match #9: STE vs DEE 3-1

Absolutely gutted. We started strong with Konrad’s early goal, but then it all fell apart. Sloppy defending, wasted chances, and Render tore us apart late on. Artero and Caniggia tried, but the midfield was overrun and the backline crumbled under pressure. Shilton off early didn’t help, and Gadzhalov couldn’t save us. Two goals in two minutes? Embarrassing. From unbeaten leaders to looking lost — this was a shambles. If we keep playing like this, the title’s slipping away. Sort it out, lads.

Match #10: DEE vs SRA 4-1

Well, that escalated delightfully. Dundee FC graciously hosted Stranraer and proceeded to dismantle them 4–1, because apparently we don’t do “close games” anymore. Javier Artero danced through defenders like they were holograms, bagging two goals and the Man of the Match crown. Nicky Riley and new signing Sam Stanton joined the party, while our keeper had time to plan his post-match dinner. Stranraer did score, but we made sure to remind them who’s top of the table. All in all, a lovely afternoon stroll at Dens Park. Tea, goals, and a touch of dominance.

2 more matches - 2 more wins, everything going to plan, almost ...

Match #5: HAM vs DEE 2-3

Well, that escalated delightfully. Dundee FC strolled into Lanarkshire expecting a polite kickabout and instead got ambushed by Jamie Barjonas, who apparently mistook the match for a personal highlight reel. Down 2–1 in the 89th minute, we decided drama was overdue: Meekings equalized with a header that defied gravity and logic, then Hateley sealed it with a deflection so cheeky it should’ve come with a wink. Final score: 3–2 to the Dens Park Blues. Hamilton thought they had it. We thought otherwise. Football, eh? Never boring when you leave it to the last gasp.

Match #7: DEE vs PET 3-0

Another day, another clean sheet, another reminder that Peterhead brought a butter knife to a broadsword duel. Dundee FC spent the first half politely knocking — testing the waters, letting Peterhead dream. Then came the second half, and with the grace of a caffeinated ballerina, Josh O’Connor broke the deadlock. Camperdown followed up like a man who’d just remembered he left the oven on, and Artero sealed it with a goal so casual it could’ve been wearing slippers. Final score: 3–0. Dens Park remains a fortress. Peterhead? Well, they’ll always have the first 45 minutes.
