Darren Dodds

[finmack]

Rumours circulating from Tannadice is that DD may be available in the summer. He is not getting a regular game at the moment.

[TheresNoEsInBlack]

Available to go where?  Inverness?  If that's what you mean I don't see him leaving a team sitting 3rd in the league and taking a wage cut to come back to us instead of staying and fighting for his place.

*Dods not "Dodds"

[Guest TinCanFan]

It would be great if he came back but I can't see it happening.

[starchief]

I wouldn't welcome him back after all the 'it's not me, it's my family' garbage  :020:

[Johnboy]

I would welcome him back here again, anytime....  :022:

Maybe by now his family will be fed up with him, and pleased to see the back of him... :rolleyes02:

[caleyboy]

At long last a decent manager has found him out. Tough luck if he is no longer first choice but shouldn't be taken back here.  :clown22:

He's not featured in the last two games.........why I dont know.......but to say he's not getting a regular game is a bit of the mark. He started in 27 league games, 3 Scottish Cup and 4 CIS Cup games this season. I'd say thats pretty regular

I spoke to his paw-in-law (well i believe not in law as dods isn't married but anyway) who is a taxi driver in edinburgh and he was saying before he moved that he really felt he had to move for the sake of family relations and what not, I for one give him the benefit of the doubt. For that reason I can't see him coming back. He was a sterling player for us and it' be nice to see him back but i can;t see it happeneing and it's not really a good long term move, are we not better investing the money in good younger players who we could have for longer/or sell for more cash in a couple of years?

[Harry Chibber]

not likely to come back to ness but if he gets no other offers from an SPL club you never know

twice the player McGuire is and a natural leader on the park, something we've sorely missed this season

[Kingsmills]

It would be great to have him back but I can't see it happening.

[Guest Foxy]

i for one would be delighted to see dodds back, he has been a huge loss for us.

You're obviously not McGuire then Foxy...  :004:

[Guest Foxy]

no johnboy im not but isnt that interesting

[Scotty]

In two minds about this one ..... Our defence certainly misses him as he was rock solid, and our team also misses his leadership qualities but is there a way back after leaving for "family reasons" and could we afford his wages assuming that he would have got a big boost when he went to DUFC.

[strathyjags]

the reason he left was he wasnt offered a long term contract,surely if we offered him 2-3 years with a coaching deal he would come back??

Or take him on as player/manager....?    :014:

[Kingsmills]

Strange, just what I was thinking.

[Scarlet Pimple]

Ah wiz telt wance that ye cannae gae back--so there you go.

Anither little bit of BACK talk from the Workers Compensation Board :015: :015:

hmmmmmmm

[12th Man]

I would gladly see him back he's getting older but would be good for a couple of seasons, I don't know how long his existing contract will run for though.I have a feeling the budget will be cut at United by 2009.

As for excuses for leaving your job, We all know honesty isn't always the best policy.

Even Barry Wilson threw off his top just before he left the park in his last game for ICT prior to joining Livingstone, he could have easily worn it in to the dressing room but chose to make a point, but I was still as pleased as the next man to see him back again.

[caleyboy]

He's a donkey! We NEED better.

[Guest TinCanFan]

I know who'd be better..........Phil McGuire!

[caley100]

:rotflmao: :rotflmao: :015:  Wait a minute...you are joking ?

Mcguire is possibly the worst central defender i have seen in an ICT shirt.
