Short term deal until end of season

Yeah not as big a deal as people are making our, they need a short term solution to their managerial woes and Lennon is out of work.

Did great when picked to start in January. Gets a start for Scotland U21s 

Better than Astley and Billy K imo. Would be great to see him alongside Shaughnessy.

Yes poor that he ended up back at Falkirk.

It is a big deal...massive deal for the Pars and there are extensions on the table if it works out.

He wasn't great in his last appearance for Falkirk and has been benched recently. Subbed at h/t for Scotland. Will be a good player but needs proper time to develop.

I think Luke has a big future ahead of him but putting him back to Falkirk was undoubtedly the correct decision as he still has a lot to learn IMO.

I'm  actually not only excited to see how Luke develops going forward but I also think that in Billy Koumetio we have a player with real potential  .

This is a lad who was ball boy for Liverpool then 6 months later went from ball-boy to being named in their  matchday squad and someone who Klopp was massively excited about not long a go with his assistant , Pepijn Lijnders ,even  describing Billy as "a proper talent" and someone they thought would be a big player for Liverpool for years to come .

You don't become the youngest player to feature for LFC in the champions league if you don't have talent and real potential and IMO you just need to watch him to see he has all the tools required to become a very good and much sought after footballer.

I think people need to remember he is only 22 and has played less than 50 games of senior football , he will and has already made mistakes and he was always going to . But he is 6' 5" , excellent in the air , likes a tackle, can carry the ball and pick and pass and is physically strong . 

He has already shown at times that he is a  very good player and i think with more game time , more experience and more time for Doc to develop him , we will soon have a real asset on our hands there .

IMO we now have 3 very good young Left sided centre halves going to be competing for that LCB slot next season which can only be beneficial for the club and all of them have great potential to develop in to top players .

Looks like the win over United merely papered over the cracks. Losing three goals like that, from being 3-1 up, in the last twenty minutes, is totally inexcusable. And the fact that we have collapsed so many times this season, and a few times last season too, and then to concede sixty seven goals, while hardly changing things during the course of the season, is sackable in and of itself.

Then getting rid of Main and not to bring in anyone as a replacement, with Murray possibly injured, as well as the lack of strong defensive midfielders, and the lack of experience to complement the young talent we have, just adds to it.

I was pro-Docherty longer than most, and we have suffered usually from sacking managers, as we tend to replace them with even worse managers, but tonight was another disgrace in a long run of disgraces.

I don’t care that it was Rangers. When you go up 3-1 against them, you don’t lose three goals in quick succession, to then lose the game, and also a valuable three points while in a relegation battle. 

The depressing thing is I don’t see how we could replace him. The only option I thought was feasible is now at Dunfermline. And I don’t trust Nelms or Strachan. Absolutely awful track record bringing people in, and with that, they tend to go for cheap options or mates of Strachan. 

Jesus wept, as the old saying goes.

Really? Tonight wasnt the problem,.

That Rangers team, at this time, beat pretty muchevery SPL team, let alone one in 11th. It feels like goroundhog but it we had played like that with these players during February we'd not be where we are.

It is perhaps WHY our fans get soooo disillusioned with the team. Many walk away because of the 'same old, same old' Dundee FC.

False dawns, sh#t displays when playing well, cup runs with the 'hope' that never happens, then that tonight.

How many times have we witnessed that?

Even at 3-1, I was not relaxed...and so it transpired. Just another groundhog capitulation!

Is it any wonder our crowds are so low, for such a long time!

Yes absolutely agree. Games like tonight are one of the reasons I don't go so much anymore. And games like the 0-6 v Hearts which was my last game and first ever game where I left early. 

It's just not worth it. Let down far far far too often.

I cant compare tonight with the totally abject and unacceptable Hearts game. Tonight isnt why fans don;t attend. Its the multiple RC disasters and the too frequently alike. Losing 4-3 to a team who pays one player more than our starting 11 is no reason to chuck it.

That sir IS the problem. Willing to accept defeat because "It's Rangers" or "because he gets paid this..." There was no excuse or reason to lose that game from 3-1 up with 15mins to go. Attitudes like that, is why we have won f*ck all in over 50 years.
