How Far Have We Fallen Since the 60s?

[Billy Campbell's Ghost]

Become a yoyo side

Worst stadium in the league

Many dubious owners

Two Admins

Teams of wee, slow guys and players no one else wants. Being left behind in a more athletic age.

Club captain arrested for alleged drink driving.

Teams like Dons, Hearts, Hibs having five times as many season ticket holders as us, when back in the day we had almost equal crowds as them in many years.

Granted these thoughts always surface after a depressing non combatant defeat but how much can we take, or I take in my early sixties continuing to buy tickets and get hardly any pleasure out of it. Its just doom and bloody gloom.

It's depressing - mismanaged top to bottom since Prentice left

Depressing even following the text online. I cannot see any positives for the months ahead. Thankfully I had the City game to bring a smile on my face tonight, and the Stars at the weekend helped to ease the pain BUT The Dee were my first sporting love and it is depressing to see how far we have fallen, and how far we are away from improvement.

Nelms doesn't seem to have a clue and Keyes doesn't seem to realise he hasn't a clue. Very worrying times.

Not to be too rude, or to show my sheer detachment from that era, but what a pointless thread. We've been in our current lot in Scottish football for decades, tonight did nothing to change that.

We have a history, our history is being betrayed by the charlatans that are running the club.

There, I've said it - Nelms is a charlatan.

Here, I got charlatan in first tonight. 

Your fault though - you mentioned the dabs name in another thread.

It’s not pointless to me or others. And I am talking about the whole era from then till now, downhill all the way.

I'm just a copy cat. 

But what a great word it is, so descriptive and apt.

Again, that's been our history for the last 40-ish years, ran by charlatans.

I'm not saying the history means nothing, far from it. I love history. Tonight just has no bearing on that being the case or not. I've grown up seeing Dundee in the Championship for the majority of my childhood, yo-yo is what I expect.

Yep. 

A bit like Malaise. 

There's malaise about the club right now.

I just hope for better - the very hope that kills.

Continual bad management again and again through the years. And we are still at it.
