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.

Hope if we are trouncing Dundee no one starts singing about John Brown “cheering up”. It will be all over MSM if it is sung.

I presume your not holding your breath while you’ve got your tongue in your cheek like that … very foolish, if you are.
Me? I am depressed by the thought that from a cohort of something in the order of 500,000,000 ‘supporters’, the follow followers have none from within their ranks to mount so much as a squeak of a blog condemning the song-book of their bigoted and racist minority.
Surely a world record of sorts …

There won’t be 50,000 but you knew that anyway. Good that you managed to give your spare ticket away too.

Yes they are crazy. I met quite a few of them when they came over circa 10 years ago for a Lions tribute game.
Due to some bad blood between them and the now deceased club’s support at a UEFA Cup tie a couple of years previous, they sat in what was then The Glaswegian pub (a bitter Hun shop) singing Celtic, Celtic + YNWA all day.

Songs-Another weekend about bloody songs incurring anger,spite,insults and even threatened violence from the best fans in the world!!! A lot of Celtic songs are about the ancestry and history of the supporters not the club. Other clubs, in whatever country, don’t have this situation as they are all,usualy, of the same anc. & hist. Football songs are either about their clubs percieved fame or “offending the opposition” Most rivalry has included goading and isn’t likely to change soon. From childish jug ears/4 eyed onwards and downwards racism and religion!!!
What next??? 67Heaven … I am Neil Lennon..!!.. Ibrox belongs to the creditors

Oh, so true !!!! And probably applies to other traits. May I tim’idly ask the question, how do the people,who are on about anti catholic/anti Irish feel about their own anti English convictions.
I’m not scared bringing this up,as I’m living 1000’s of miles away and like Saddam change my abode often although the tin hat I have just put on might give the game away.
Keep the updates fast and furious,Bhoys, hope we all enjoy the next few days, matches and please some good,big news!!!!
