We meet up every year about halfway between bonnie Scotland and Australia, mainly eating and course much drinking, very cheap here, weather fantastic, people sr so so friendly, here until Sunday so miss last game unfortunately

Equaliser against Celtic in a 3-3 game, is his claim to fame,

Out in Vietnam with David Mcintosh, former centre half from the 70s, he said when he was at dens, dave white and Harold Davis were at dens, and he said the training and tactics were very professional, and no prisoners, were to be taken during game time, just what we need now, and have been for the last few years, with them both being at rangers, so he is touting Kenny Miller with the rangers connection, time will tell

I was totally against renewing my season ticket, but as above, if they extend it for another month, I think like most supporters I will renew, once the season is over and we will see who stays and goes,

I heard the same story from a guy that is friends with John Nelms, if I remember right, I am sure I posted it on forum when McCann signed up, getting older so give Me a break if I didn’t write it at the time

Maybe not so much the normal punters, but asking businesses to fork out possibly more every year to gain the target, might be more of a problem, i speak to Alison on on a regular basis, and she tells me it’s getting harder to raise the money asked by Dundee fc,

Separate altogether, £85,000 last year same this year, but expecting to rise to £90,000, with the usual excuse, INFLATION, very hard to achieve me thinks if we get relegated,

I was offered a job in Nigeria in 1986, to run a barrel cleaning plant, concept was great, as read all information put to me, met a prince and his burd in the Sheraton in Edinburgh, over an excellent lunch, I asked where the contents of the barrels were to deposited, he said just in the river at the back of the plant, not good , then I asked about accommodation, he said that I would be put up in a hotel and driven to and from work with an escort, I asked why, he said that I would probably get stopped, if I was in my own, dragged out the car, and maybe get shot or stabbed as per previous comments to this post, I never asked about money, I just said thanks but no thanks,

I know that Islay, my reason for not attending the game today is how bad the referees are nowadays, I get so annoyed that they are dictating people’s lively hoods with their incompetent displays for want of a better description, I know it may sound petty on my behalf but i am so passionate about Dundee football club, as are many thousands of supporters, it really gets me so annoyed, upset etc etc, that they can get away with it, some people say it is only a game of football, IT IS, and it isn’t when you have to watch these so called referees, who make a decision, just because they can, one instant we all watched, Jones of Kilmarnock dives in the box, Dundee lose a goal, Jones gets a suspension a few days later and the referee gets of Scot free, until they are fined or suspended without pay, it will never end, i can go on for a long long time writing about their decisions in other games, but my fingers would be red raw, and don’t get me started on the so called committees that give out the after thought of suspensions, all the same incidents and all with different outcomes, NO consistency whatsoever,

My season ticket stayed in my coat pocket from last week, as I said I wouldn’t be going to the game today, because of the crap referees, with their so called power to the top teams, I was nearly proved wrong which I would hold have held my hand up and said so, I had my apologies, of sorts, ready to be typed in this section, then lo and behold I checked bbc scottish football on my I pad, and guess what, 0-1 to Celtic, I never watched game on tv, reasons as above, I read the reports on the forum and I was proved right, unfortunately, again,

Exactly what I said before the game, we have no one to challenge the big players, he would have been a match for them today, I know we can’t get everything right as fans but surely the swede should have played today,

I stopped going to the games many years ago because of the very poor referees and linesmen, It looks like I will be doing the same again, as I get so annoyed at them, ( I cant put down what I really want to say as I would get banned for life from the forum) the other teams get away with murder and we make a silly foul and our players get booked, no wonder odea went crazy, why McGowan got booked on the halfway line after the big centre had his arms around him, it’s was ridiculous the number of times the ref and linesmen let them away with that, I think he blew once just after halftime for a foul for the centre having his arms around our player, I left with 15 minutes to go after yet another crazy decision from the ref, as many people have said our refs must be the worst ever just now,

Hearts conned him

My first English game, Halifax and Man Utd, a friendly, around 1970,( was there visiting relatives,) fans on the pitch kissing the boots of the king Denis Law and George Best, loads of shop windows smashed before the game, I left early so avoiding any other trouble, read in paper next day most windows in the town centre smashed, cars windows put smashed, that was a friendly, was at Leeds and spurs cup tie about 97/98, utter chaos, police on horses picking on spurs supporter for nothing, then all hell let loose when Leeds supporters joined up with the spurs supporters and battled with the police, never waited to see outcome, but it was brutal in the few minutes before I got on the bus,

I saw that as well, like you I thought someone would have said something about the goalie saying wow,
