I'm fully expecting us to go down mate.. Whelan made a mistake bringing in Coyle. We were a footballing team under Martinez, then Coyle tried to play the pressing, long ball game.. The players just weren't able to adapt quickly enough. Rosler never had a chance after that as the confidence was at rock bottom. The furore surrounding the appointment of McKay and Whelans comments just made things worse.. Now we're gonna lose some of the better players in January and the new players won't have time to gel before the end of the season..

Oh well, it's been a fun ride while it lasted :D
 
Aguerooooooooooooooooooooooo
QPR
93rd min and counting.
win the premiership at expense of the Rags.

Tears of joy from Tashyboy and a thousand others when watching it in Mary Dees.
 
12th February 2011, Dundee in administration for the second time after an awful start to the season, loads of players released and by January we had ten fit first team players plus a kid on loan from Hearts - and had been docked 25 points and given a signing ban, we were rock bottom of the table.

Remarkably we were on a 13 game unbeaten league run when Raith visited us for a top v bottom clash and I've never seen a team and fans pull together like we were after going into admin that season.

Raith dominated and took the lead six minutes into the second half and it looked like our unbeaten run was going to end as they pushed forward to add to their lead, Dundee looked tired, not surprising given the effort those guys had put in for many weeks.

Seven minutes after that Raith goal we brought on SKY TV presenter Neil McCann who was making his return to Dundee as an unpaid trailist 18 years after beginning his career at Dens Park.

He didn't really do anything and looked what he was - a guy who hadn't played for over a year, and the Dundee crowd were quiet as they realised that the unbeaten run was about to end - until six minutes from time when McCann was fouled 30 yards out - Gary Harkins stepped up and fired a curler into the top corner to level the scores.

Instantly the game changed and Dundee started charging forward with pretty much the whole stadium roaring them on.

Six minutes into injury time (can't remember why there was so much time added) the ball was lumped into the Raith box and fell to McCann 12 yards out, he spun and miss hit his attempt but it had wrong footed the keeper and floated gently into the top corner of the net, it took him (and the crowd) half a second to realise that it had gone in and then there was pandemonium as he raced towards the South Enclosure to celebrate with the fans.

A print of the picture below sold for over a grand at a fundraising dinner that season to raise money towards bringing the club out of admin and I reckon that with various other uses it managed to raise about £10,000. It was also used on the cover of the book that was written about the most remarkable season in my club's history.

I'll never see unconditional support for my club or total commitment from players who all played with injuries which would normally have put them out like there was that season again.

If Hearts had won that day the score at Love St would have been academic

Yep. But the conspiracy theorist in me thought the superior goal difference was down to the Saints. :)



A bit like Killie a good few years later. ;)
 
Most recently maybe James Hanson's goal against Villa at Villa Park to pull us back to 1-1 before we saw out the remainder of the game after Villa got a 2nd but not enough as we won 4-3 on aggregate to put us in the Carling Cup final.

Less said about the final the better!!

In theory you may have a point, in reality it was Albert Kidd that swung the goal difference in the end ;)

Let's not mention Dunfermline eh ;)

Pretty much how my nephew was telling me yesterday, he's caught in 2 minds about it might even be a good cop out if Maulky is found guilty.
