I'd probably go with this and whilst i'm not writing Rawlins off yet, some of our fans have, he doesn't perform here, he might never be given a fair crack to haul it back.

Probably too early for Yoro to start, maybe Mehgren or Bennie can play as one of the front 3, nice to have options.

Living your shirt to display a message isn't in and of itself an offence. Removing the shirt or lifting it over your head is. If the message is offensive or provocative (obviously that can get quite subjective) then it would be dealt with after the game, as it is not for the referee to decide immediately as to whether a slogan is provocative or not (it could be an obscure reference, a foreign language etc)

On the two handball decisions, that have got people understandably riled up.

Celtics second goal - the new IFAB rules clearly state that if a player is falling and the ball hits their supporting arm, it is not a handball UNLESS that player subsequently scores. TEK says above whether it's accidental isn't the point, and Goodwin called for common sense as it led directly to a goal. All fine but the referee has to apply the laws of the game. It's one of these that looks terrible but it was the right decision. Under the previous IFAB rules it would have been disallowed due to the ball hitting the hand of an assisting player.

Celtics handball in the box. I've watched this back loads. Another one that at first viewing looks blatant. The player lifts his arm in an unnatural position and impacts the trajectory of the ball. Not dissimilar to the penalty Celtic got v Motherwell last season. However if you slow it right down to frame by frame, there is only one point of contact, which is above the armpit (unofficially called the T-shirt line although that term within IFAB). After that it bounces up but does not actually touch any part of that arm or hand which would constitute a handball

Both decisions absolutely correct as per the laws of the game. Absolutely legitimate to ask whether the rule is fair, especially in the Celtic assist case, but it is the rule nonetheless.

Former referee Bobby Madden insisting Duran's goal should not have stood and gives a very interesting response as to why.

UEFA themselves say it shouldn't have stood.

Willie Collum has a lot of explaining to do. Particularly as one of his former top referees is basically calling into question this incident.

Camara when he first came in was like Willo Flood, an absolute terrier in the middle of the pitch, but limited otherwise. We loved him because he looked like he cared and our midfield was too powerpuff, getting over-ran constantly. 

But he has no real discipline, often caught out of position, and he eventually lost his place, maybe mainly because Manny did/does it all better.

I'd rather keep him, but if he's not going to be a regular, we can get a fee or use his wages to bring in an area where we're still lacking then crack on.

Agree with above, that if that's the recruitment plan, bring in what's needed and replace with better as we move forward, great, but i'd have been looking at other areas first, midfield is an area we mostly get right, defence, wide players and a proper CF, not so much.

If you're able bodied, it's absolutely not an issue, if you park right on the edge of the zone, at the furthest points away from the stadium, you're a 5 minute walk tops. Arrive late it might now be 10 mins walk.

If you aren't able bodied, there's blue badge parking, and if those spaces are full you're allowed to park anyway.

What i have heard it that the blue badge system has been subject of capers. the badge holder might not be the person attending, but the car is parked up, taking a space that should be kept for those in need.

What we really have is a system in place that every fan faces on every away day, where do we park, is it safe, how far to the ground? etc

There's streets outwith the zone, that were rammed before this came in, the zone could be wider in theory.

It's not that big a zone at all imho, personally I feel anyone using this as an excuse not to come, is looking for an excuse anyway.

Not trying to be smart, a dick or argumentative, but it's a similar situation anyone who picks up a kid from school will face maybe 2-3 times a day, nobody thinks more than a step ahead, considers leaving the house 5 minutes earlier, or maybe it will cause less fuss if I just park a bit away and not cause congestion/road safety issues.

Again, I don't think a full on zone was needed, but it's all high density housing areas, car ownership has increased massively, imagine you're a resident and you need to get a kid/Parent/Grandparent to A&E but you have to walk 10 mins to the car, because some arseholes singing about the IRA/UVF/MFI/NPC/USB have used all the spaces.

Maybe it's because I know Dundee well enough to know where to park, when to park, as opposed to coming from afar, and even though i accepted it as a consequence when I lived there, I'd have welcomed this if it were an option.

Pans main attribute is running about. He said it in his first interview and has proven it since.

I like him but won't be gutted if he's away. I do wonder if it leaves us with enough depth in the middle though.

As a side note, we haven't fully utilised the loan system - so potential for 1 or 2 to come in with that?

Why?

Camara did well for us last season and we've now brought in players who are better than him.  If that leaves him excess to requirements then I'd say they the Goodwins are doing the recruitment side of things quite well.  Especially if we get a good fee for him.  I like Pan, he always gives everything he's got and never gives up, but if he's not going to play ahead of Sevelj, Tait and Manny then maybe he has decided leaving is the best thing for him.

There’s a lot bigger problems in Dundee than football fans parking near the ground. Hopefully the council tackle them instead.
