Cammy's testimonial

[Returnofrros]

Why have against a club that's engulfed in child abuse allegations, fans are as obnoxious as they come and treat Dens Park like their own political playground

Shame for Cammy, won't be attending

[BCram]

Disagree Rross with your reasoning. This is probably the one occasion that going to see DFC play Celtic is worth the effort. This is a celebration and not an occasion for not turning up to support one of our own.

I agree that they have some very unpleasant history and that they get away with bad behaviour that other clubs would be hammered for, but Cammy's Testimonial is not the occasion for making a stand against them.

My family went to watch Liverpool play Rangers in a testimonial for Walter Smith. Liverpool was our "English" team at the time, and we went to the Liverpool end. Their fans were a nightmare but we enjoyed seeing their players "in the flesh".

Think we should try to get behind this game and give Cammy's Terstimonial a boost.

As I say shame for Cammy.

If it is something that a lot of people have been working on I think it is disappointing that you have made a negative comment. Of course you are entitled to your view but I hope everyone else gets behind this testimonial.

Don't keep inviting the abuser back.

They and the other half shud be shunned by the rest of Scottish football not encouraged.

Those who have been working on it ain't worked hard enough, lack of imagination and lack of respect for our own support who generally don't turn up against these tossers.

That's a bit more positive.

You're prepared to stand against those accusing Russell Brand and give him a free pass but a club in its current form that has no evidence against it is ‘engulfed’ in it.

Double standards.

Already been prosecutions for buggering wee boys, if and when brand is convicted I doubt he will have been involved in buggering wee boys.

[eric_sinclair]

One of the players definitely deserving of a testomonial.

[islaydarkblue]

In my opinion this is a strange time of the year to hold a testimonial match especially with the Dens Park pitch having drainage problems.
Normally testimonial matches are held in before the start of the season which also acts as a warm up game for the start of the season.
It will probably be a second string Celtic team as a number of their first team players will be away on international duty.

We should have pretty much **** all to do with these cretins that isn't compulsory through the league.

Thing is I would have expected Cammy Kerr to know how much they are despised and if he had any input into it to say thanks but no thanks.

Would have got just as many Dee's turning out for two old boys teams

Celtic, their fans, their management, their "culture" is a complete turn off for most Dee's and has been since Cammy Kerr stood on the terrace.

Of course DFC are the same club, liabilities don't go away by simply changing directors. Ask the Catholic church, the BBC, all the football clubs that paid out over the Barry Bennell affair, and what about all the tobacco companies that have been successfully sued? The list of companies who have paid out after changing directors must be endless.

What's that Mr Lambert & Butler you've changed your director? Awe sorry to bother you you're free to go.

I would seriously doubt that. 😄

Was Rix involved in the systematic buggering of numerous ****age boys?

Musta missed that.

I wouldn't invite Celtic if the pope was visiting , Mary had appeared as vision behind the Derry or the groundsman had stigmata.

They are ****s.

[Returnofrros]

And Rix convicted either 98 or 99 he played for us 7 years earlier

[Returnofrros]

And Rix was an employee any owner wuda had to have foresight beyond belief to know what he was gonna do 7 years later

The Celtic board and some believe management turned a blind eye back in the day and have continued to pretty much cover up to this day.

Must be Russell brands fault. 😆

Celtic cover up spans decades multiple convictions and club cover up.

I am very surprised that Cammy Kerr’s testimonial committee have chosen Celtic for his testimonial match especially on the same night as a Scotland international football match is being played in the middle of November.
I can only assume that they were running out of time as it has been almost a year since Cammy Kerr’s testimonial Golf day was held at Downfield Golf Club and testimonial events usually take place within a 12 months period.

Do you and others on here boycott all Dee games v Celtic…or are you and others full of wind and pïsh?

Rix is on the *** offenders register. You, I, or anyone might have a view on the rights and wrongs of that…but it’s a fact…and you still went to Dee games then so don’t try and claim the moral high ground now. You’ll find it’s a lonely place.

In my opinion the members of the Cammy Kerr Testimonial Committee should be explaining why they have invited what will basically be a Celtic B team to be the opposition in his testimonial match on a cold Thursday evening in November in competition with a Scotland international football match.
They could have played this testimonial game on a Sunday afternoon during the January mid season break.
It could have been played against a Dundee FC old boys eleven with former players such as Gary Irvine, Gary Harkins and Rab Douglas being invited to play.

If he has then surely he would want to play his testimonial match when the full Celtic first team will be playing instead of most of them playing for their country in international football matches at the same time which is likely to result in a greatly reduced attendance.

However if the Scotland game against Georgia is televised live on SKY or terrestrial TV then it is a ‘no brainer’ for me.
I will watch the Scotland game instead of sitting in a freezing cold Dens Park with a poor attendance and little atmosphere.
This game should have been played as a pre season friendly against one of the English teams who had a pre season tour in Scotland.
James Forrest of Celtic managed to get Athletic Bilbao for his testimonial match before the start of the 2023-24 season.

Utterly bizzare

[deecom]

Like many Dundee supporters, i was disappointed when i heard that it was to be Celtic for Cammie's testimonial.
Just heard from a good source, that it was BRENDAN RODGERS who approached Dundee and offered the Celtic team for cammies testimonial.
Brendan is aware of Cammies service to Dundee, when he was previously manager with Celtic.
Would have been difficult to refuse a generous offer like that if no other team had been selected.

The Scotland game won't be televised on the 17th, mainly because Scotland are playing on the 16th.

So you should be free to go sit in an empty Dens on the 17th on your own if they let you in.

I feel for Cammy with what looks like a low crowd, expenses for former players turning out etc...there won't be much left. He could probably do without people turning up on the wrong day.

[BCram]

Whole family going to support Cammy. Organising Committee have got brilliant guests Speroni, Sarah, Caballero, Adam, Harkins are the names I remember.
Come on, give Cammy a benefit night to remember with pride. Be positive about HIS team. Its a testimonial, not an occasion to continue fan hostility.

Cammy deserves a testimonial for his length of service. That said he's never been a superstar type player and if we're being honest has mostly been a bang average to pretty poorish player. I honestly feel that because Cammy's only really been the squad / fringe player he has been throughout his time, combined with a very unexciting choice of opposition on a cold November night on the same day as Scotland are playing, will have a lot of people just thinking they won't bother.

I kind of feel for the guy but come on - what would you really expect other than low interest given the circumstances?

An impressive array of ex players now lined up for the testimonial. Even if these players are only paid expenses the cost must be considerable. I really hope that ticket sales and expected crowd numbers pick up soon and that the whole thing doesn't turn into a financial disaster. I was always going to go and am now looking forward to it more than before due to being able to see the legends again. I'm drumming up support with family and friends and hopefully others will do likewise. I've never been a fan of the testimonial idea especially for overpaid players but Cammy is local, a Dundee fan as well as player, he has been enthusiastic in support of community and fan projects and is a good guy. He deserves at least modest success with his testimonial despite the wrong, imo, opposition and wrong, again imo, timing.

Some positive support for Cammy's Testimonial! This isn't a game about Cammy's team winning and beating Celtic, it's about players from our past showing off and trying to revive memories for us. I saw Caballero as a guest, play at Dundee Violets ground, can't remember why, but he scored 4 goals, never left the penalty box, looked around to see where the defenders were, walked to a space, got the pass and scored the goal. Fantastic fun. Imagine what it'll be like with Sara, Harkins, McGowan, Adam, McAlister, as well as Speroni.

Darren ODea coming along. Would hope this game gets our supporters along.
Unbelievably this game is all ticket with only the Bobby Cox Stand open for the game.
Very disappointing.
With hospitality packages on sale for this game you would have assumed that initially the Main Stand would have been open for the game especially as the Celtic supporters could have been housed in Sections A, B and C of the Main Stand.
The Bobby Cox Stand could have been kept in reserve in case the Main Stand sections for Dundee supporters were sold out.

I agree patg for a testimonial makes more sense.

What difference would that make? You’ll be able to turn up 30 minutes before kick off, and buy a ticket from the shop.

We’ve got a support that look for any excuse not to turn up.

I'm going to the game but for a testimonial a patg would save queuing twice unnecessarily.
The shop isn't the quickest when quiet.

I get yer anger (a bit) about the opposition.
But "scum game" really?
A local lad getting a wee bit recognition for a decent career,also a player who seems to always be available for events off the park and your forgetting all this cause we play Celtic??
Player we all loved years ago coming over to do their bit yet it's a "scum game"
It's obviously a choice to go or not so why the need to ridicule the whole event?
Just don't go.

The management of Dundee Football Club make it as difficult as possible for non season ticket holders to attend home games at Dens Park. Some people do not want to stand in a queue outside the ticket office on a cold November night to purchase a ticket for a testimonial match. If a cash gate can be opened for St Mirren supporters in the Bob Shankly Stand last Saturday why can a cash gate not be opened for Cammy’s Testimonial match.

In my opinion this testimonial game should have been played last summer as a pre season friendly.
There were plenty of English football teams in Scotland having pre season tours who could have provided the opposition for Cammy’s testimonial match.
The obvious testimonial match was against the Dabs as we are not due to play them this season unless we are drawn against them in a Scottish Cup tie.
Cammy’s testimonial committee must have been running out of time to play his testimonial match as events in a testimonial year normally take place within a year.
The first event in Cammy’s testimonial year took place at Downfield Golf Club which from memory was held at the end of September or early October 2022. This was over a year ago.

I disagree, almost always, with your constant negativity, sniping and the manner in which you do down the club you purport to support but I actually totally agree with the measured criticism and constructive alternatives brought out in your above post. Would that always be the case with your contributions but I fear that it won't belong before you re-commence your tiresome, bitter, vitriolic vendetta against 'your' club.

I agree Islay it makes more sense but surely even if you dont fancy going most dundee fans would like to see him get as good a turnout as possible.

I don't and he won't get it

[jdfc]

The opposition and timing off the match are very poor choices, maybe the committee will have a good reason or they have been lazy in organising it, a game against the likes of Sunderland, pre season or at international break earlier on would have been a better choice imo and a chance of a decent crowd turning up,

Heard the Arabs pulled out at start of the season when they fell to the mighty Spartans, someone can maybe confirm this

Sorry I just think you are letting yourself down with such comments. I and I reckon 99% of our support would only wish Cammy success with his testimonial game despite the admittedly strange/wrong (imo) choice of opponents. Anyway I've made my position clear so I'll now how out of this thread.

Nope hope it's a flop and it's looking increasingly likely an expensive flop.

I hate the old firm with every fibre and I only want to play them when we have to.

The rest of Scottish football should have nothing to with these two apart from when we have to.

They care only about themselves and we are just bit parts in their annual battle to see who wins everything.

To actually invite them and their fans to Dens is sickening.

But then those that run the club have zero feeling for the club and zero idea what those that have been going for generations think.

Shame on everyone who participates.

I actually agree about the choice of opposition. Looks like numbers are rising as the game approaches though. Bobby Cox now all but full according to shop staff.

Less than 3k.

Chuffed some Dundee fans want no part of it.

[eric_sinclair]

Only a cpl of ends open so don't think expectations are to high.
Rek Islay possibly right with the last minute job and just fitting it in.
If they get 3k they will be happy I wud imagine.

There’s a lot of clubs who don’t have cash gates.

Two wrongs does not make a right.
These clubs who do not have cash gates are not exactly packing in the spectators to justify making their home games all ticket.
When we played our UEFA cup ties in the 1970’s including the famous ties against Cologne and AC Milan they were pay at the gate turnstiles.

[islaydarkblue]

But you’d be happy to stand in a queue to pay cash?

There’s a lot of clubs who don’t have cash gates.
I would be happy to stand in queue to pay cash as it would save me making two trips to Dens Park to watch a Dundee FC home game.
Once to purchase my ticket and the second time to hand it over at the turnstile.
Sections A, B and C of the Main Stand could be used for cash turnstiles for Dundee supporters who do not have a season ticket.

[islaydarkblue]

I actually agree about the choice of opposition. Looks like numbers are rising as the game approaches though. Bobby Cox now all but full according to shop staff.
When I was purchasing my ticket in the ticket office for tomorrow night’s game there were about half a dozen single seats left in the Bobby Cox Stand apart from six rows at the bottom of the stand.

I don't think they sell the first few rows due to weather issues. They may have to start selling another area tomorrow.

Is there any merit in charging different prices for different parts of our ground?

Used to be a three price structure many years ago. Top price - Main Stand. Middle price - Stand Enclosure. Then the ground price. There was a transfer between the ground to the stand enclosure for a small price if you changed your mind. I can't remember if the Main Stand was all one price of if the centre stand cost more than the wing stands. Anyone remember?

[BCram]

Seems to me Shankley and Cox stands are better than Main Stand. SE should be cheapest and sold out for every game.

The Main Stand used to be the only part of the ground where you could purchase a season ticket and it had tip up wooden seats.
It used to be a 6d transfer from the ground to the enclosure underneath the Main Stand.
It might have been 3d for children.
Prior to about 1958 the enclosure underneath the Main Stand was the only part of the standing area of the ground which was covered.
The rest of the terracing was open to the elements.
The wing stands were cheaper than the centre stand as spectators used to sit on long wooden benches.
My father used to take me to Section G of the Main Stand.
The prices might be listed in some of the programmes from the 1950’s and 60’s.
Jim Mitchell of the Dundee FC historical trust has old programmes and he might be able give details of the different admission prices.

I prefer sitting in the Main Stand as you can easily see play on the whole of the pitch whereas siting in Shankly and Cox stands you only easily see play at one end of the pitch.

Clueless idiot.

English teams on a warm up pre season tour wouldn’t want to play a game against a team of 40+ ex players.

DABs were asked, agreed….then pulled out after getting beat from Spartans.

Strange time for a testimonial, winter, shortly before Xmas, same night as a Scotland game and against a B team. Hopefully he gets a decent gate but we're Laurel and Hardy organising this ?

This match should have been played as a pre season friendly as nowadays there are now hardly any free midweeks available to play testimonial matches during the football season.

[eric_sinclair]

Good to see the likes of sara, caballero,speroni and the bonettis.You can see they still love the club.
Game was a non event tho but just under 3400 there so organisers probably be happy.
Shuda played the dabs in pre season but maybe the early cup start scuppered that.
Ggh still class as well.

[BCram]

Enjoyed the night. 1st half was decent standard and seemed to me to be helpful in giving our players a good game.
The legends were very well received and it was great to hear the chants to acknowledge them. Sara, Speroni, Caballero and Cammy all have great songs but the guy with the best one, for me, was Ivano Bonetti.

KO was delayed by the size of the crowd all trying to get into the Bobby Cox. Inside cheery atmosphere and no supporters for Celtuc team. Disappointment for money raising but brilliant for the happy friendly family affair that this was.
Good nature banter for Scott Bain. Big Rab played to the crowd and helped set up the penalty with Harkins. Pantomime stuff and no VAR to argue. Great penalty taken by Cammy! All in all a very pleasant night at the football.
