Thank feck for that!!

What is the game on Wednesday night?

McCann wasn't second choice. McCann was first choice but ruled himself out. They came in for JR and when he knocked them back McCann changed his mind.

If Dundee Utd are so skint, how have they been able to sign Keatings and Fyvie?

Agree it was only a friendly. Agree it doesn't really matter. But just for the record that was one big steaming pile of pish.

Us clever folk don't even need to try, never mind try hard. It just comes naturally to us. You 1%ers don't understand.

99% of posters on this board have to right to call out boring or unnecessary posts. For the avoidance of doubt, you are part of the 1%.

Genuine question. Why do we think it's a good idea having away fans in the same stand as home fans? From a cost saving point of view? If so fair dos. I just hate seeing a completely empty stand at a game.

The Dundee boy's periscope stream gave a brilliant view of his free kick early on and it was bloody close. Excellent effort.

I actually almost used the Harry Kane goal to emphasise my point. Shocker!!

That's fair enough mate and totally explains your feelings towards him. However my views on this topic only related to how "special" he was as a player. I don't even know the man. i think you knew that but were maybe being a wee bit obtuse given your personal feelings towards him. Even though I think you know exactly what I meant by special I will explain. i saw my first Saints game in 1974 (I think you've been following them even longer). In those 43 years I couldn't even begin to hazard a guess at how many players I have seen in the stripes. Let's call it hundreds. Tony Fitzpatrick is comfortably in the top 10 (possibly even top 5). In my humble opinion that makes him special. For me, referring to him as just another player, is putting him in the same category as Stephane Bahoken and Christopher Wreh. I wasn't having that.

Don't worry mate. If you don't know what I mean by that then the answer to my question is no. You've already answered it.

Yeah I accept that we had defenders challenging for the ball who didn't cover themselves in glory. But I believe when a ball is played into the 6 yard box, a good goalie will come and clean out everything, safe in the knowledge that he will either win the ball or more than likely be given a free kick. The one thing a keeper must not do in that situation is stay on his line. He's completely helpless in that situation. As for Sammy himself, not only do I think he's dodgy on crosses, I think he has a habit when shot stopping (which in basic terms he's quite good at) of palming the ball back out into a dangerous area instead of pushing it to safety. I'd actually prefer to see the young lad being given a chance, but it's all about opinions mate.

That's more like it. In that context yes he's just another player. In the same way that Kenny Dalglish was just another for Liverpool or Henrick Larsson was just another player for Celtic. Out of curiosity do you regard any of our ex players as special?

I absolutely agree he wasn't responsible for the 3rd. He was responsible for the 1st. As for the 2nd, when a player scores with a header inside the 6 yard box and the goalkeeper isn't challenging for the ball, then I believe he is at fault. i don't think Sammy is a good keeper. I make no apologies for that and if he is given games this season, I have no doubt he will prove me right. I have no personal agenda against him. It's just my view on him as a player.

Yes you can sum it up and you have. I doubt anyone would disagree with a single word of your summation..........except Renfrew. He thinks he was just another player.

I think I'm cleverer than you. That's for damn sure.

Are you now telling me that you know better than me what I was commenting on? You're funny. I used the word "describe". The only thing in Renfrew's post that can be construed a description was the comment about him being just another player. It's obvious that's what I was referring to. Why on earth would I care whether Renfrew likes or dislikes him and why would I try to deny the obvious fact that Tony often talks a lot of shite? You're not a very clever chap are you?

What the hell are you on about?? I never commented on anything Tony has said. I was commenting on Renfrew describing him "just another player I used to watch". You seriously are one argumentative fecker. You even highlighted someone's grammatical error earlier by highlighting that they had typed "board" instead of "bored" whilst hilariously not noticing that they had also typed "your" instead of "you're".

Absolutely mind boggling way to describe one of the most talented and loyal players ever to wear the stripes. Each to their own though.

My only real issue from last night was Samson and we have to learn that lesson. If we are to have any chance of winning the league, we will not have the luxury of throwing away points in games. If we are to lose games it needs to be because we were beaten by a better team on the day. If that had been a league game last night, we would've handed Dundee 3 points on a plate. In my opinion they were not any better than us last night. It was an otherwise very even game.

What a charming chap.

Oh my fecking sides! Utterly hilarious.

Right back down to earth with a bang. Maybe no bad thing.
