It's official now  :006:

Dods joining Dundee Utd

Dods was awful today. Easily the worst game I've seen him play in an ICT shirt.

Perhaps but everyone has off days just a shame his was today  :006:

I don't think he was all that bad, but he did seem to be playing to a different gameplan than the rest of the team on a few occasions.  His tackling was as solid as ever but some of his clearances were a bit suspect and he was the only one of the back four that seemed to want to hoof every ball the length of the pitch.

CC knows we play best with the ball on the deck. he obviousl stated this to all the players at the start, and the runs made by rankin, wilson and tokers were great, and the passing seemed to be of a high standard most of the time.

Dods must have simply got into the dressing room AFTER the pre match brief. I thought he was 100% dire today. I agree, his worst performance for ICT

Bit off in the first 45 but thought he did fine in the 2nd.

He didn't exactly get 'stuck in' today like he does at his best. Perhaps it's harsh to claim his heart's not in it every time he has a below par performance.

Are you not being hyper-critical?

If some people honestly think that was Dods worst ever performance for ICT then it just shows how great he has been for us.

I can presume that for the next 6 months every single slighty bad movement by Dods will be scrutinised. He wont be allowed to put a foot wrong.

And as for mixed emotions/ conflict of interest. I personally think he'd play out of his skin to prove he is a man of undoubted integrity, proffesionalism and of his word.

What benefit is there for Dods to **** up on Saturday?

Levein was present in the stand on Sunday. However a captain only has one loyalty and that is to his current paymasters. Darren will want to help win the cup tie to edge closer to a Semi Final place. Like all players at his age he will probably not expect too many such opportunities to come round again regardless of where he plays his football. Let's hope our players remain focussed and very hungry for success. They deserve it.

To all those sceptics, the Machine was his usual reliable self against his new club. Never a doubt and those who did should hang their heads in shame .......... :004:

Loved how he sorted out Wilkie after he battered Ike. No quarter given and none expected. Cheers Dodsy!

Erm, were you watching the same Dods as me? I thought he did all right but there were times he was looking very susceptible during the game.

I hope he sorts out the Hearts cheats the same way he did Wilkie yesterday though  :001:

What happened between him and Wilkie?

Wilkie made, shall we say, a robust challenge on Fraser to which Dods to great exception.

Fraser seemed to be getting a little too much attention in this pic from yesterday

Clicky Clicky

I would have had Dods or Duncan as MoM yesterday. I hope CC knows how we're going to replace him, because I don't think Caff is the answer.

Scott Wilson? Kevin James?!

When Glen Hoddle was Spurs manager he's supposed to have registered himself as a player, claiming that he could play as an 'emergency sweeper'  :024: perhaps Charlie should do the same.
