Trashing a historic football club in two easy steps

By on CQN BLOG & Comments

I was delighted when Dundee were awarded the vacant place in the SPL in July last year.  They are a club with an outstanding history (check it out here) whose fans have suffered poor performances and downright bad decisions since the finished within a point of Dundee United and Aberdeen, and were relegated from the Premier Division in its first season.

With a latent, considerable-sized supporter base, by any measure they should be a secure SPL club.  Only Celtic, Sevco, Aberdeen, Hearts and Hibs have more fans, although Dundee United may have closed their historical gap.

If Rangers had not been liquidated Dundee would currently be in the First Division, most probably at or near the top.  Barry Smith would be getting ready for a final push for promotion.  Promotion came too soon, they are miles adrift and will be relegated unless Hearts go into administration, suffer a 17 point penalty and make players redundant.

Sacking Smith and appointing John Brown, in political terms, could be described as a brave decision.  ‘Mad’ is another word you could use.  Reports that (suffering) Dundee fans, and shareholders, are in revolt at the appointment, should surprise no one.  John Brown’s very public performances last year marked him out for his communication skills, ability to plan and make considered decisions.  Put him in charge, and you know what you’re getting.

Should we beat them tomorrow, spare a thought for those in dark blue in the corner of the stadium.

    TET,

     

     

    Ok I should not have written demean, I apologise.

     

    What I was attempting to articulate was that , there being more than one way to do things, sometimes one’s response depends upon one’s circumstances.

     

     

    Therefore, I , eg. when in the company of Servconians, chose how I conduct my battles depending upon what I perceive at that time.

     

     

    Now is not the time to present open goals to those who would wish to harm us.

     

     

    Being circumspect is not being compliant.

    Q. What’s the difference t’ween a Hun, and a Greenhun.

     

     

    A. Precious little.

     

     

    Goodnight my friends in Celtic. I hope our feet remaim clear of bullet holes for the foreseeable future, for we are the ones holding the gun.

     

     

    Bed now. I am happy to have made it through today with my health intact. There we’re times when I feared otherwise today.

     

     

    Life is a precious thing. We don’t treat it as such often enough.

    A wee song that ye are likely to like. You are helping me so much and you have to realise this at this time especially.

    Neil Lennon knows that we have to be as unified as possible, it is difficult with us being such a broad Church but we have to protect all of our support, always.

    I had a 7″ of No More Heros that some bugger stood on and broke it from rim to centre. Still played. Still loved it!

    :)) I take it that “Duchess” is good escapism from the locals.

     

     

    We’re living in the same town amigo ! Been meaning to catch you and say so.

     

     

    I don’t go out here much though – mibbes 5 times in the last 10 years. The windae cleaner keeps me up to date with what he thinks is gossip, and then I jump on the cho cho to weegieland where I came from for a wee swallie :)))

    For the record, I didn’t object to any lyrics.

     

    I asked corkcelt what his post had to with Celtic.

     

    Then the usual pack attack.

     

    Stooping to the mention of family members.

     

     

    At last. Corkcelt, having nursed his vicarious grievance for some time, tells me who I am supposed to have offended so greviously and so viciously.

     

    As I said before. If you join in the pack attack and you stop a low blow, too bad.

     

    If you want to be handled with kid gloves, say so.

     

     

    As for cut ‘n paste from Celtic wiki. No. I don’t visit that site. Examples, s’il vous plait?

     

     

    A hun? How desperate is that?

     

    ACGR will confirm for you that it I who ducked the DR radar and called them such. I called them any other things which the DR filters couldn’t stop. So enraged were they that they got together and entered enough complaints against my every post to ensure automatic deletion.

     

    Then, in an act of supreme stupidity, they accused the whole DR staff of being DFB’s, with me as UberFenian.

     

     

    Could we please end this nonsense?

     

     

    I’m a Celtic supporter. Always have been. Always will be.

    FFM I’m reliably informed that when the bouncers could hold them back no more on this Saturday afternoon in a public park in London, the police (no pun intended) , rounded up the band and the dancing girls and threw them all into a big Paddy wagon. Yes. They’re still called that in London. A historical reminder.

     

     

    No Brazilians involved.

    What do you think was the quality that said arrestors had then and have now?

     

     

    A powerful strength of opinion to uphold the law of the land, or a desire to keep their bosses happy?

     

     

    Am sorry, but I can’t take you seriously. I still you stirring at every opportunity, as you did again this evening – you jumped at the discussion between Canamalar and P67, whose issue arose from you being you, in the first place. And it can be traced back to the Bhould Bhoys, who went through a hard time, and there was you, stirring him up when he was emotional?

     

     

    Are you just insensitive? Do you not care? Were you a but drunk when doing the wind-ups?

     

     

    Genuine questions. I’ll respect you if you give me truth. That’s what’s important.

     

     

    Reconciliation is my middle name :)) Good luck :))

    ntassoola – I don’t doubt your Celtic credentials but I do doubt your sincerity. I cannot think of anyone who attracts the kind of publicity that you do on this blog. You have a superior manner that is entirely unbecoming and unwelcome. You revel in being alternative, good luck with that. Kojo would be proud. If you dropped the ‘i know better’ , ‘when I worked in Rome’ bull, then I might not adopt a ‘feck you’ attitude. Think,before you drink and post.

     

     

    Ps. I don’t have to quote other bloggers as a point of ref.
