More innacurate info from yourself I've never said there is nothing to see I said the team as it stands is only going in one direction. I said TC will be removed if he does not get results.
I just don't have any real interest in TA or behind the scenes at Tannadice.
I'm only interested in the team on the park.
I'm a supporter not a forensic accountant or private detective.

I get that - nothing wrong with it.  However if we continue with the Asghar Project my fear is you won't have a team on the park to be interested in.  Surely that does then prick your attention?  We are burning so much cash (with very little tangible in return (unlike the ET era)) that if Mr Ogren decides enough is enough then we are well and truly screwed.  Relegation cannot happen.  Mr Ogren is wealthy, but I don't think he has pockets as deep as the boy at Ross County - he's no billionaire.  I'd like to think that I'm worrying over nothing, but I'm not.  We are going in the wrong direction and that could cost us our club.

The Ross County owner isn't a billionaire, fucking heard it all now 

Haha - intended as hyperbole, but I can see how you can miss that.  Notwithstanding, it is amusing that you ignore the bit about us being fecked to point out that i've overstated the net worth of the Dingwall Dives.

*Absolutely f'n minted is probably more than a millionaire but less than a billionaire.

Over £100M for Roy MacGregor according to the press so as I thought deeper pockets than our man.  Don't think he's daft enough to expect a return (financial) either.

Interested to know how you know MOs net worth, and what it is? I've looked a few times, and I have not managed to find anything concrete. Just lots of articles about him selling assets as his 4 kids don't want to inherit an oil business...

I've never seen any actual numbers, as all the articles mentioned that the details of the deals are private.

I saw he'd made $14M from his last gas station deals but assume he has more wealth than that.  He's probably in the $30-40M bracket at my guess - I don't know though - I'd still wager the boy MacGregor beats him.

Well FWIW the tully seemed to think he was worth >100m USD in Jan 2019, so if you are just guessing there is a fair chance you are a long way off...? https://www.pressreader.com/uk/evening-telegraph-first-edition/20190110/282106342784882

looks like it if Mr Duthie is right (?). Still not as deep pockets as MacGregor though who is worth that in Sterling.  Hope you didn’t waste too much time proving me possibly wrong though😘

30 quid for a tickets a bit steep, no?

 
Seems very steep to me. I suspect there will be plenty takers  for them. But I don't think any team should be charging that for the game up here.

Short term understandable but if its a long term thing it may be the straw that breaks the camels back for some. In a broad sporting sense, what we've seen in the last 18 months is people getting used to not doing whatever their hobby is and returning numbers. I know from a sports club I'm in, they used to have 20+ regular attendees and now that's down to 3 or 4. Also Aberdeen were selling tickets the night before we played them - so a club with a larger fanbase than us struggled to get 5000 people who wanted to go to a game... people don't need another reason not to go back to tannadice.

Possible that they could have stuck to normal pricing and asked punters if they could to put a few quid in a bucket at the game to help offset the increased costs /reduced capacity of hosting events?

Not saying I'm not going back or anything daft like that btw but looking at the situation - clubs (professional and amatuer) are going to need to encourage people through the door

Wouldn't be against that.
 

well, that was fcking brilliant!  no expectations going in, but so long since had that buzz on hearing the final whistle... something you don't get with holding out for wins against Arbroath and the likes.  Fuchs and Robson outstanding for me... Mulgrew definitely gives us a bit of quality and composure at the back and looks like really has the respect of younger lads.  fair play Tam... save the analysis for Monday and enjoy the weekend.

Who knew humble pie would taste so good!  Well done Tam and the players. Genuinely thought that result was beyond us. 

I even thought his interview was balanced and lacking in buzzwords.

That was excellent the day. Great result and deserved. Well done to all the players, our excellent support and especially to Tam. He shut a few pusses today including mine. Also agree about his post match interview, calm, considered and straightforward. 

Superb. SRYB and FTH.

Well there's a surprise for ye. Thought we were gonna get pummelled the day but we were'na.

Moreorless was more or less sh1te. Diving b@stard.

Defended well. Fought for every ba. We didna just stifle they chunts for majority oe the gehm, we were better than them.

Robo. His 1st goal in how lang ? Anybody ?

Gotta give full marks to Top Cat for the tactics the day.

Scenes when Robo scored and at the Final Whistle. 18 month oe frustration exploding.

The gehm the day goes beyond the result itself. It has implications. It shows other teams in the SP, the mongs are'nae as good as they think they are, and are'na unbeatable. But mair importantly, it shows that WE are back on the stage.

Heard that in the PM Interview, Gerrard didna hae a good word to say about us. Even calling us Dundee. Well that was an insult too far Gerrardo.

MOTM for me Robson, Pawlett, Mulgrew, Benji, Chalmers, Fuchs, The Butch, Smith, Clark, Edwards, Harkes and Sporle.

And of coorse, a special mention for young laddie Watson for getting stuck in fae the minute he come on.
