I hope that Dundee can somehow escape extinction but it certainly looks bleak for them. Scotland can ill afford to lose a proper club with a decent fanbase. Unfortunately, I fear this could be the first of many to disappear off the footballing map of Scotland.

At the end of the day it's all about the league but it's ridiculous playing a weakened side at Parkhead. Not great for morale amongst the players or the fans.

Woeful at the back again. Cricket score on the cards. Very strange line-up tonight from TB.

I wouldn't wish a club's demise on any fans, well obviously the old firm but that kind of goes without saying The problem with Dundee is that they never, ever seem to learn. It's just one dodgy regime after another in the hot seat at Dens. Angus Cook, Ron Dixon, Giovanni di Stefano, The Marr Brothers, and now Melville have all lead the Dees fans down the garden path and promoted reckless spending in the pursuit of abject mediocrity. I honestly hope DFC survive this latest debacle but fear this could push them ever nearer the edge. What odds a merger or at the very least a shared stadium in Dundee?

Scoreline flatters Hearts but but we have major poblems at the back at this level. Our home record is just not good enough.

Proctor is murder at right back. Same last week at easter Road. Would love to see Richie come on and pull the strings.

Massive respect due to Blackie. Anyone who boos the lad is a muppet. Hope he sees the error of his ways one day and comes "home".

The stewarding and policing today was an utter joke. I'm sure there was 7 or 8 separate ejections, the first after no more than 5 minutes. A few folk tend to play up for effect but the reaction from the forces of order today was way over the top. We're paying £22 each to be entertained and these jumped up muppets behave like we're some sort of sub-species to be spoken to like schoolchidren. If they tried this on with the old firm there would have been a riot, of that there can be no doubt. It's time the club addressed this issue with the likes of Hibs and United. At the end of the day can the SPL afford to repeatedly treat their ever shrinking customer base in this manner?

Young Spewey will be in attendance. Ymipette is hedging her bets thus far. We're letting the train take the strain tomorrow. Must look out a suitable sickbag.

The Young Stoney Ultras are plotting up in a Uruguayan winebar on Broughton Street. Embra's miles poncier

I can't find the post but I suggested months ago that the latest Dundee FC saviour was a wrongun.....the rumours circulating in Aberdeen have come to fruition it would appear. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-north-east-orkney-shetland-11206289

Good effort from The Wanderer and Mrs Wanderer - Congratulations! Sounds like the motorised bath is gonna need some nipper friendly modifications.

Myself and the Young Stoney Ultras (x2) will be joining the ICT massive. Would be good to see a big away support out on the 11th.

An Elgin supporting mate of mine tells me Ian Black got dogs abuse off the City travelling support at Tynecastle tonight when subbed. It seems that his ICT connections didn't go down well with the black and white masses (sic). I find it quaint that this lot still consider us rivals. Having said that I would LOVE to draw them in a meaningful cup tie at Borough Briggs. Would be a massive old school day out for sure. I guess the youngsters will find this odd but Caley-Elgin was THE game of the season back in the day. Not sure if the Jags - Elgin rivalry was as intense but the farmers hated us with a passion. One day......

"Keys for Fair Play Stand" Keyrings clearly a step too far for Dundonians to get their heads around. I would suggest it was also a recycled takeway carton rather than a tupperware receptacle. DUFC, classy ken...Stephen's off to farmfoods tonight to stock up on supplies for Athens. Tannadice stewards are a shower of jumped up sh1thouses who'll be locking themselves in the Josef Fritzl Executive Dungeon under the Fair Play when the old firm are next in town.

I don't want to spoil the game but the content of the tupperware box was clearly marked on said box in black marker pen. I'll fill y'all in later. I'm sure you can hardly contain yourselves.

"What a waste of pension cash, we paid for your bath....."

I think I've read every report on the interweb this morning and have to say Alternative Maryhill's report surpassed them all by a distance. Gold star and keep up the good work.

I was half expecting the Lothian Saga Crew to sail past The Young Stoney Ultras on Cleppington Road in a motorised bath for the full LOTSW effect.

I can only echo the comments above. Today's result that is right up there with our very best in the SPL. The second goal knocked the stuffing out of United and from there on in it was a stroll in the Tayside sunshine. The scoreline was totally justified and I would suspect most United fans would agree that we were well worth a cricket score today. We were sharper, fitter, more agressive and looked a right good side for much of the game. United were admittedly dire but they were, by a distance, third club in the country lasts season so today's result was beyond my wildest dreams. Hats off to Terry & Mo and al the lads for today's performance - outstanding.

The Antwerp fans were class. They hit the nail squarely on the head when they sang, in perfect English, "Your support is f***ing sh*t". Friendly or not the crowd and level of encouragement was utterly abysmal. Full marks to the club for arranging two decent friendlies this week but the apathy today saddens me - excellent weather, European opposition and a tenner in - what more do folk want? I would love a return game in Antwerp next summer but I doubt they'd be particularly receptive given the pitiful support we mustered today. The game itself was ok with Nick Ross and Kenny Gillet the stand outs for me. Gillet could be turn out to be another very good signing.

Any Caley cup final in Elgin during the eighties/early nineties. Generally a brilliant day out involving beaviour that would be frowned upon in this day and age but was quality entertainment at the time. Been to two Champions League finals at the Stade de France, Real Madrid vs. Valencia in 2000 and Barcelona vs. Arsenal in 2006. Both were pretty memorable events. Also attended several French cup/league cup finals involving PSG. One involved non stop swedging between various PSG ultras the other, a memorable PSG victory over Olympique Marseille, resulted in being pelted by irate OM ultras and being forced onto the autoroute on my 50cc vespa by French riot police (not advisable!). Two lively evenings that will live long in the memory.

My man at the game tells me the highlight of the first half was Judd's attempts to read out the Valladolid team lines.

We have teams participating in the Umbro Dublin Cup this weekend. Coaches could be scouting but more likely just taking in a game when they have the opportunity. I think Charlie C might be over there in his youth development capacity, could have been him at the Bohs game.

We were up in Inverness a couple of weeks back and Mrs ymip suggested we nip in by the stadium and pick up a new home shirt for ymip jr. She was mystified as to why the club could not get the kit in the shop for the summer holidays, as am I. The young fella has patiently hung in there since May waiting for the new shirt and I have to expain to him that unlike every other club in Europe we seem unable to get our new kit on sale until the new season is upon us. The club must realise that this sloppy Errea time keeping loses the club hard cash it can ill afford to pass up in the curent climate. It's not like this is a one off, it's the same shambles every time we change shirts. We seem to be the only SPL/SFL club who rely on Errea and unless the club actually gets the shirts for free I can see no reason as to why we persist with them.
