I would very much appreciate it if a taxi were called for Paul Hartley.

Thanks for getting us back into the top flight, but counts for nothing if we end up back at square one.

Someone like John Hughes would steady the ship and at least make us hard to beat.

Losing Stewart and Hemmings has really hurt Dundee. But I agree. John Hughes would be a good fit. Hopefully Hartley can turn it around though.

If reports are correct they took in well over half a million for those 2.

They've replaced them with a guy that was playing in the Dutch 4th tier and a guy from
the Scottish 3rd tier.

I know that folk will point out that Hemmings and Stewart played in the Scottish lower tiers before signing for Dundee but there will be a time when taking this kind of gamble won't work.

Would Dundee fans welcome the Duff back? the job he's done at Morton over the past few seasons with relatively little resources he would probably be a top candidate for it

Barton comes across as the kind who'll want paid in full, rightly so

Yeah, he looks finished as a footballer anyway. Looked to be carrying an extra half a stone and his legs had gone so he'll be lucky to find a new club.

Can imagine him milking every penny he can get and even staying the full two seasons while suspended just to keep recieving his wage.

He must be itching to say something but knows if he does they'll try and use it against him.

I wonder if there will be another meeting once the SFA decision is made?

Bad news about Tierney, apparantly broken leg or ankle and will be out a while. He was my leading candidate for the Player of the Year so far but it will ruin his chances if he misses 10/15 games. Will miss the Cup final and Man City and Barcelona games as well, must be gutted.

A real shame for the lad.

Izzy has to find some form now while he is in covering for him.

It's like Celtic are too good to get freekicks in games or to book opposition players. Sviatchenko got booked on 50 seconds and Aberdeen then done 6 fouls before the 15th minute all similar and never got a booking, the one Hayes dived in with studs up and caught Gamboa's leg between both his legs was a booking but he got away with it as it would have been a 2nd red.

At full time too, he let them hit the freekick at about 5:30 of added time even though he only added 5 and then a corner came from it at about 5:40 which he let them take even though it was near 6 minutes the time it got took.

Different from last week when Thomson added 1 minute in the first half but Celtic were on the attack and won a throw in near the corner flag at about 56 seconds and he just blew the whistle.

Sick of fans of a certain new club refereeing our games (Thomson, McLean and Madden).

Sky Sports coverage of the SPL is terribly poor as well. BT need to buy the total rights the next time, they give you much more time in the build up and after matches, they do more and better interviews, the punits are a lot better and they seem more fair and have a bit of banter with each other.

Tanner, McCann and Walker are shocking pundits. Tanner shouldn't be on TV doesnt seem to know anything about football and is a plastic faced wee fanny. McCann and Walker are honking as well, would rather mute games than hear their bitter wee greetin faced voices.

Sky also turn the crowds up and down all the time on SPL games, you actualy hear chants start then then are immediatley quietened down, no atmosphere on their channel.

Jozo, Toure and Tierney out from the Celtic defence against BMG.

Going to be a long night.

I think even with the three you've mentioned it would have been a long night

So close to grabbing the win, just lack the quality in the centre of midfield.

Point gained and another £500k.

Just need to beat Barca and/or Man City.

A shorter night than I imagined.

Disappointed we seemed to hang back instead of going for the victory.
