    What do Dundee bring to Scottish football? 3000 fans for a big Scottish Cup game, crap crowd of 5k Inc away fans vs Hibs

    No recent trophies, no recent finals, no recent semi finals, no finish above 5th in the last 55 years, just lingering about achieving feck all

    McInally is spot on here and reflects the views of the vast majority of fans of all other clubs

    Added to this they want Scotland to play in their stadiums along with cup finals.....more money to the big dogs making the gap bigger all the time. Why not just play all games in their stadiums, save them having to get on a bus to come away from home.

    No idea what rainman posted but bookies not taking bets on it being about anything other than crowds and DFC.

    He’s tormented.

    He's spot on imo, hopefully this isn't allowed to happen.
    Absolutely spot on!

    So both U20s teams do well over a few seasons. Both end up in the top league, giving us two Celtics and two The Rangers. Just what Scottish football needs. I know I've reduced this to absurdity but as ideas go it's probably what it deserves.

    What steps did they take to try and push on further and not go straight back down?

    Did they go full time?

    Did they sign better players?

    They have shown no ambition to push on.
    They live within their means (remember that?) which means their level will always be restricted. Perhaps they don't have the income for any of those things you've listed, but it doesn't mean their ambition is any less. These clubs play and pay to match the level of support and finances they can generate. I don't see the problem with that.

    Absolutely right TTT. Sometimes a corner shop can joust with giants and come out on top providing magical football moments along the way! Here's to the corner shops of Scottish football! Don t meddle with them!

    They brought us a cup winning team captain, who was arguably our best player of the last ten years.

    They won’t be allowed to get promoted much like happens in Spain.

    As soon as they got promoted they knew they were coming straight back down.

    Drawing a big team away in the cup is the height of their ambition.

    Add nothing to Scottish football.
