"Exactly a decade ago Dundee were 12 points ahead of ICT going into the new decade.We finished the season 12 behind them.That's a 24 point swing that nobody would have believed possible at the turn of the year"

"We had GGH and Sparky,the two best players in the league.We had a handsome lead.They had good players,they worked hard and when the results came we fell to bits.Something similar couldn't happen again could it?.Be nice if we could at least test their mettle."

"The title is certainly gone after today but a second successive relegation cannot be ruled out after Morton won cutting the gap between us and 9th to 7 points.
If the board,manager and players think we can drift along until the end of the season putting in mediocre performances and not be drawn into a relegation battle they'll be in for a surprise."


Its got to be said that only a Funster could post about the same team being potential champions and suffering a double relegation in under 24 hours,FACT.


Look, be kind to the Chappie. This is merely the difference between overt optimism and reality. We all dream. Who hasn't dreampt of United winning the Cup/League or whatever, yet faced the reality of 'Alloa' all in the same day? However, there are some things best kept to ourselves. The last 47 years have caused most of their sub-middle age support to survive on dreams. Let's make an effort to stop waking them up. I'm sure Rip van Winkle had many pleasant dreams which bore no relation to reality!
