Harkins

[Itchycow]

The most ridiculous sending off since,  ironically,  Curier got sent off for us through there for gesturing at their keeper. 

Horrendous 2 footed tackle = booking. Absolutely astonishing. No wonder our bench went berserk,  Neill refereed the game and Imrie gave the most embarrassing display of cuntery in history, his pathetic attempt to get Stewart sent off in injury time should be viral.  Fat cheating c**t

[Ludo*1]

We're going to miss him big time next week. Harkins provides the majority of our assists and Partick were the team that I think performed best against us so far this season. Today they've dismantled Caley in Inverness 4-0.

If we're missing Harkins, McGowan, Thomson and perhaps even Stewart then things could be very messy.

[Itchycow]

Point being, an absolute scandal that we end up with a red card after that tackle. 

We're very far from streetwise, Cammy Fraser or Glennie would have handed Imrie his baws back in a carrier bag

Irvine couldn't even get within 10 yards of the dick.

His attitude at times isn't great but he's more talented than most players in the league, which is why we're 11 points clear of the play-offs.

It's a controversial opinion, but I think Harkins has been working off reputation for the past few games. Sure he has some moments of brilliance with set-piece deliveries and step-overs, but for every one of those there's a stray pass, wayward shot or generally being a greedy b*****d and trying too much alone.

It'll be interesting to see how we fare without him next week.

I get that and understand it.

Last few games though, he set-up our goal against Caley and our first against Aberdeen.

Harkins can do zero for 89 minutes then win the game for you in an instant. Can easily see both sides of the coin on Harkins, but I don't think we have anyone that can create that something out of nothing time and time again like he can.

That's exactly how I've described him in the past.

The question you have to ask is if the player who starts in his place would have done more in the first 89 minutes to have the game sewn up already? Not necessarily through being better, but simply not thinking he's better.

Kind of missing the point boys, how on earth did Scotland not get a red card, and we did. Beyond belief   

[markthedee]

We got a red card because Harkins was stupid.

But yes, Scotland should have walked. No retrospective action, though, because the referee showed a yellow. The compliance officer only gives you a call if the referee missed it completely.

Well,  Harkins wasn't  'stupid ' he was standing up for his mate. The challenge  by the fat c**t Scotland  was  diabolical

There's a referee to sort it out though, its not a tag team.

Can you name the playmakers who have been able to score and create goals in the last 5-10 years for Dundee, other than Harkins, because I'm struggling to think of any.
