  1. Is this game likely to have a pay at the gate option? I have a mate over visiting from New Zealand who would love to see a game while he is back in the UK. He is due to get on Saturday so I was thinking about bringing him to Fir Park if he gets here with enough time to spare.
  2. Was this the same day that Durrant got injured in a tackle from Neil Simpson? I think I was at a match at Dens Park- was a student in Dundee at the time- and was following other matches on the radio. Might have been Dundee Hibs, and possibly a two one away win with Steve Archibald scoring.
  3. Have to say that this kit looks fantastic, pity we have nothing like it at present. It made me think of a white away kit I saw us use in season 86/87 (I think) at an away game at Tannadice when I was studying at Dundee Uni. Midweek game and we got humped four nil with both our fullbacks scoring own goals- the second fro0m Philiben was a cracker worthy of Andy Lynch. The only upsides was the classy white kit we were wearing on the day. Anyone got any pics of the away kit from that time?
  4. We live in hope- but a difficult task and not much chance of making much from it as they, and ourselves, are not fashionable clubs. If anyone is thinking about going, visas are available from the Russian consulate in Edinburgh (near Haymarket station) as well as the Embassy in London. I found it easier to use a specialist travel agent, just to sort the visa, when I went to Moscow at short notice a few years ago- again, there used to be one in Edinburgh, might still be there.

    New Away Kit

    Agreed- really like that Watford kit- would have been better than the black version we are stuck with. Might encourage me to buy the third kit for my holidays- is forty five too old for a footie shirt?
  6. Very sorry to hear this- one of my favourite players from the time I started watching the 'well. 62 is too young. RIP
  7. If he does go, at least he will have behaved with more dignity over his departure than the fine old gentleman he replaced.
  8. What are we looking at? McCall gone to Sheffield so need a new manager. Law, Humph and Hately off to Ibrox, Higdon and Faddie unlikely to hang around for next season. Anyone elase likely to go? And who or what will be left? Gutting after a great season.
  9. Onward and upward. Things are not as bad as they seem. Okay we are an average side in an average league but Dundee will make it very difficult to get relegated. This is a chance to try some of our promising youngsters as that is the only way forward for a club like ours. We will need them next season when a few of our squad will be on their way. Have been a well fan for forty years and have been through much worse.
  10. I saw it- lived in Edinburgh at the time. Harrow was sent through on the inside right channel, one on one with the keeper and put it across Rough and in off the far post-easy. Gordon Durie Hat-trick, good Joe McBride free kick and another couple and we were robbed.....
  11. Have very fond memories of a 3 nil win at Fir Park with Andy Lynch scoring two late own goals, but would rate the 3-2 cup win after being two nil down at half time and the 4-2 semi final replay win higher.
  12. Has Dodds ever had a decent word to say about us in his commentry/punditry on the BBC? Be a sad sad day if we were to ever give that wee c*nt houseroom.
  13. Mid seventies to mid eighties you couldn't buy a cap if you were a 'well player. Wark was the most obvious but a good few others also missed out- Stewart Rennie springs to mind. The fact that as soon as anyone leaves to join a "bigger club" they are immediately called up just adds to the feeling that playing here bad for your Scotland career. I also notice that Stevie Hammell is listed as being a Hearts player, with regard to when he picked up his cap, in the "Wee Red Book"- what a crock of sh*te.
  14. Hopefully he will have to, or he will be out the team, out the door in six months and his chances of a big money deal elsewhere further diminished. Look on this as an expensive loan deal, it may work in our favour. Hope there is an element of "pay per play" involved so that we are not screwed if he turns out to be gash.
  15. and lets face it , quarter of a million is a joke. We should let him see out his contract and maybe get us a better league finish and get us another European run, that would make us more than the fee.
  16. Glad to see him leaving Cardiff- a bunch of Taff *****.
  17. Not so much a fixation, just the best I could do at short notice.
  18. He may very well be- but Cardiff City are Welsh.
  19. Who'd have thought that Eric Black getting the gig was dodging a paedo bullet?
  20. With his background, wouldn't he be more suited to Celtic? Anyway, Welsh *****, enough said.
  21. That will do- in with a wee chance of getting through and a nice place to visit. Pricey, but not half as bad as Norway.
  22. How ironic, given that Derek Johnstone has never dived for a penalty in his illustious career.
  23. http://www.worldstadiums.com/stadium_pictu...und_color.shtml Impressive looking ground- something like that would do us very nicely- well, dreams are free.
  24. After claiming that Paul McStay was an old style footballing character on "Off the Ball" on Saturday, it is obvious she knows nothing about football-so she mets one of Tommy Docherty's criteria for being an ideal member of the board of directors of a football club.
