All players can have a bad game, it was KT's turn today, He's like bagpuss, when he goes to sleep all his pals go to sleep too. Hooking him was the right thing to do, fair play to PH for having the plums to take his captain (and most influential player on his day) off when it was required. sh*t happens and it happened to KT today. Hopefully he'll be back in the saddle for next weekend.

Ivan, nothing wrong with arguing with team mates, but his pass to Julen was sh**e. His reaction to being hooked was shocking. But, yes, technically our best player. Starting to think he's a complete primo though.

Smiffy

Playing alongside some of these boys he must be thinking wtf.

We need winning mentalities at Dens.

Sorry Ivan, today KT was a sure on for a red because of his attitude. After he played that bad ball back to Jules, he looked at him and throw up his arms as if it was his fault.  Really expected Thompson to have sent him off, but PH was correct in taking him of when he did (Was expecting it sooner tbh) and his attitude after he came off was shocking, club captain behaviour?

Don't think it was a bad ball to Julen.  It was made to look a bad ball by Julen who half asleep and never moved to take the ball from Thomson.  The ball that Thomson played was the ball that should have been played.  Julen in that situation just wasn't on the same wavelength.  Not a dig at Julen either tbh, as I think the boy is class and could go on to be a big player for us.  The main problem then came when KT was trying to explain to Julen ( in Janet & John language) what he should have done.

Giving a player a last warning is good reffing?

No, it's the basics of their job. Good grief.

No its not.

That's how I saw it. KT slightly undercooked the ball and Julen made it look a hospital pass.

Pass should never have been made. It was a hospital pass because the pass wasn't on. Why he didn't just pass it to Holt I'll never know. Reaction was embarrassing too.

Disagree bud.. It was a pointless four yard pass. What he should have been doing was putting the ball straight out to Holt without it stopping at Julen. Julen and Holt both knew this. We've been guilty of this exact thing all season so far. Six short, slow passes to move the ball across the park instead of one or two at pace. It was the wrong call from KT in my view.

I thought thommo was decent today and was frustrated things hadn't been going dundees way. Pointless thread for me. Ddyb

That's how I see it too Boba, I've thought we take too many passes to move the ball around, it just slows things. Sometimes you need to take a couple of passes but we very rarely seem to shift the ball round at pace. 

For the pass today, I thought KT was at fault for a very pedestrian pass.

Thomson had a decent game but some wild lunges

That was typical off us all day, trying to walk the ball in.

Can't make my mind up if that was 1 point gained or 2 points dropped today.
