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.

‘It is not our shared heritage to sing Irish rebel songs at Celtic Park or anywhere else.(It may be some folk’s heritage-not mine- but we are an inclusive club.)’
So we are inclusive up to the point that suits you?
Ernie Lynch
Dundee are a shambles at present.
They have people who do not have the relevant business acumen running the club.
If that is the ‘sort ‘ you mean , then we are in agreement.

Simple Minds refused to take the stage at Ibrox until The Irish Flag was flown. It was They did.
Some people saw this as a sectarian, trouble making gesture. Others saw it as principled.
But here comes the rub. Rangers abandoned their principles when they realised that adherence might cost them money.
Some people go and work for oppressive regimes. Just for the money.

What is going on ?
Celtic will field a changed side tomorrow.
Some of our regular performers will be rested.
This makes thumping the Dees that wee bit more unlikely.
Then again , the incomes may have more to prove.

We are not THEM. We should not be cowed by them we have stood tall for 125 years we should not stop being so proud of what we have achieved and the worldwide respect we as a club have earned in the face of adversity from a bigoted country who would love to see us fail. We unlike THEM will keep on fighting to ensure the famous GLASGOW CELTIC will remain just that for all the right reasons. H.H.

Dundee have been a shambles for years.
Did De Stefanno have the necessary business acumen?
Barca evens to win on betVictor
Have to be honest,I was looking forward to a wee howling night with the usual crew and a bit of music.
I even roped ZIMMERMAN into it,at a weak moment at the end of his shift.
I doubt the blog will be much fun for a bit,as we wind our ways into ever-decreasing circles of acrimony.
Catch you all tomorrow.
Nae fa’in’ oot,noo!

Just been informed that my comment is awaiting moderation.
First time it’s happened on here.
It was a suggestion for a wee song tomorrow – not sectarian, or bigotted or racist and it did not have any inappropriate language.
Simply a wee ditty about Bummer Broon and pies!

Not sure why that is so controversial.

Ah called Bobo.
A NigNog..
And he was.. a..well Nignog..
Using my Interpretation of the Term.. NigNog..which was the True and Original
Meaning of the word.. Nignog..
A NigNog..was always used in the British Army to Describe a Member of the
New Intake.
Because.. It was reckoned that the New Intake, had a Lot to Learn..and in the Process.would get himself into all sorts of Laughable ..and also not so Laughable
Predicaments..
Which.. Ah am Not sorry tae say
Described…Oor Bobo.. tae a Tee..
Ah wiz completely unaware ,when Ah described Bobo as a Nignog..
That someone had changed the Meaning of the word NigNog..
tae being a Racial Slur..
Not Ma Fault Folks..
Yep..

Still..Laughin’.. though.

Will try again then.

CQN’ers we don’t own the club so don’t make the rules.
We merely pay and obey.
When we take over the club we’ll sing what pleases US. And most likely displeases many others.
Good night. That big bag of rebels are ready for a song.
