    Jim's statue

    I may be missing the point here, but. I'm finding the statue for Jim a tad embarrassing. 30k already "slowly" donated is brilliant, but. WTF are we asking for donations? This should have been a given years ago . I know the club etc are counting pennies, But ................ FFS , if it wasn't for him.......etc etc........ (maybe just me) :/

    Strange how things do to with money works. How many ex players who learned their trade from him would it take to pay off the remainder? Alex Ferguson did a short plea for this cause which was good but, he could have made a donation high enough to make it possible at the swipe of a pen they were good friends ( nemesis) after all. As usual it comes down to fans emotional blackmail to provide!!

    Totally agree. I am genuinely embarrassed by how hard, and how long this is taking. it is only 70k . it is not like we are begging for a new stand.

    Very short memories indeed.

    I understand all of the above comments, but once done it will be for the fans and paid for by the fans which will mean a helluva lot.

    Even when they're discussing their greatest ever manager, they think about DFC. Thank phukk the Derry is my blood as the Shed ain't theirs. Absolute minter club with minter 'fans'. 7k at the first Tannadice derby in 1982/83, 25k at Dens 7 months later, fake club fake history fake fans 4 insolvency events, more than the big team, absolutely clueless. Doon.
