"The monkeys start to squeal, lie and create conspiracy plots" - Scottish Football 2012/13

Who are the other two?

Gordon Marshall and Stewart Kerr.

There was a bloke doing Celtic as his specialist subject on Mastermind tonight, with such tricky questions as "Who did Celtic beat in the European Cup Final in 1967" and "In which city was the 2003 UEFA Cup Final". Specialist!

Got a German stream for St J vs Celtic - love the way the commentator says "Commons" and "Mulgrew". German commentary required for all future SPL games - cool accents plus no Scottish cunts talking pish = win win.

More Huns on the telly talking about Celtic = win win?

OG Huns, none of yer post-war wannabes

The War of the Three Kingdoms was over 450 years ago. Let go.

can't we all just get along?

meanwhile, offside flag denies St Johnstone what looked* like a fair equaliser

*from mey crappy pixelated stream

Apparently I missed another disallowed St J goal. Big teams get all the decisions.

finally they get one that counts, cracking goal it was too

Big clumsy battering ram Tade with wee tricky Hasselbaink is a great & classic forward combination - shame they get so little time playing together. St J were well worth their point tonight and should probably have won it. That's a win and two draws vs Celtic in the league this season.

Great goal from Hasselbaink. They looked good together at the start of the season but went off the boil a little. I've been enjoying the McLean and Vine partnership too. Can't think of many times recently we've had two clear forward parterships.

We should have been buried by half time. Only real chance I can remember was Abeid putting it just wide of the goal, though I think Foster had it covered. Thought Mannus and our defence were excellent all night, particularly second half - that's probably the best game he's had for us, at home anyway. Much more of a game in the second half.

As for the two disallowed goals, it was hard for me to see if they were off or not - my seat is opposite the home dugout about halfway up so not the best angle of view on it. Feels weird to have been up celebrating 3 goals at McD, especially when 2 didn't count!

At half time I'd have chewed anyone's arm off for the draw, a wee bit disappointed not to win in the end!

Felt a bit to me like Celtic probably got the benefit of most decisions, and that they got away with the physical stuff a lot more than we did - I was drafting a letter to UEFA at one point....

Oh, I meant to say. That's the third time (at least) this season I've seen us concede a goal like the second one - from a set piece with no-one properly marking that side of the goal. Lost two to Hearts that way as well.

Both offside calls looked iffy to me but as I said I didn't have the best of views on my wee tiny pixelated window. I was at the cup game when Celtic hammered St Johnstone 5-0 and could easily have hit double figures - it seems odd that we're incapable of putting the chances away against you in the league.

I'm happy for it to continue that way.

This is the second, looks onside to me.

Utd seem to be a bit good now that McNamara's in charge. Apart from getting shellacked by Celtic of course

Standard late season surge? Would love to see both Dundee sides end up bottom 6 post split but that's highly unlikely.

Dundee have just sacked Barry Smith.

Clyde 1 reported in their sports bulletin this morning that nuRangers won the SFL reserve league. I cannot recall the SFL reserve league ever being mentioned on radio before in my life.

Anyway, congratulations to nuRangers on the first trophy in their short history. That's them got something other than a carpet to put in their proposed museum.

So they beat a load of these fabled brickies and shelfstackers and farmers and whatever else patronising guff commentators come out with, but versions of which that can't even get a game for the first team of a lower league club then? Well done them.

You know the Rangers stance about how "the COMPANY went into liquidation but the CLUB lives on"? Their own lawyers disagree:

Amazing.

Not sure what else Barry Smith could have achieved with Dundee, having done really well in the 1st Division with the financial restrictions placed on him and then catapulted unexpectedly into the SPL with next to no preparation. Is Steven Pressley the expected replacement, he seems the obvious candidate?

because he obviously can't make any progress with Falkirk?

Just mean in the modern-day-Stuart-Baxter linked-to-every-minor-step-up-job-going way.

Would have thought it would be the wrong move for Elvis, though I get what context you meant it in!

Evening Telegraph reporting Calderwood and Jody Morris as front runners - they play in blue so that might be enough for Jody, I really wanted him to take over from McInnes but he didn't want to give up playing and the board didn't want a player/manager.

Ah bloody hell Jody Morris being linked with management jobs makes me feel old because I remember him coming through as a youngster. Saw him score for Chelsea years ago

Also is a Dundee club ready for a manager called Jody?

He's still only 34 - I'm 30 and I always thought he was much older than me.

Everything to do with football and football management makes me feel old these days :-/

i got seriously depressed the day i realised that the ref was younger than me :(

My "Jody Morris is only 34 wtf?" moment came when I realised I was older than Chris Sutton.

re Calderwood linked to Dundee job - Jimmy or Colin?

Jimmy.

I'm very slightly older than Henrik Larsson and he was on telly last week punditing about with GREY HAIR.

Dunno if football management is ready for someone who calls himself "morriskid".

Ah well, if Jimmy C gets back into management, it'll legitimise his continued appearances in Only an Excuse, I guess.

Steven Anderson's has been at Saints since 2004 with hair thinning much faster than mine and he's still only 27.

Kris Boyd back at Kilmarnock? That's what the internet says.

Wow! I've no idea if he's fit or not, but could be a great signing for them..

"Having been inundated by high-calibre candidates, one man stood out as perfect for the position," said a Dundee statement.

what did they do what was worse than normal? Or was it because it was done in England?

I watched the first five minutes and it was all fenian blood and fenian bastards, I assume it continued in a similar manner after I switched off to go out for lunch in disgust.

Speaking to ESPN, club manager Ally McCoist said: "I didn't know anything about it until I came in after the game."

Speaking to ESPN, club manager Ally McCoist said: "I am completely deaf. WHAT?"

STV Sport ‏@STVSport
Despite rumours to the contrary John Brown has not resigned as interim manager of Dundee.

(Apparently radio scotland saying he has)

Fuck me Dundee are a circus. Bomber Brown an exceptional candidate? Gift that keeps on giving.

In fun news, Steven Anderson nearly scored a goal today and if the linesman had done his job properly on Tue night we'd be second (in pub now).

Chris Harvey ‏@ChristopherHarv

Unconfirmed reports that acrimonius Dundee FC Fans & BoD Q&A session has finished with two board members tendering their resignation. stv.tv

I was at the Berwick game today and once again I'm gutted that we've been over by dodgy refeering decisions, taking the lead then turned over by a soft penalty and then a stonewaller not given for us. Not complaining that Rangers probably deserved to win but 3-1 flatters them big style.

In fairness to fat Sally I was about 50 feet from him and couldn't make out any of the chants. Outside the ground there was definitely some sectarian songs sung, so no surprise if that happened inside the ground too.

Ally McCoist on the news saying "tell us what we can't sing and we won't sing it". Lady, if you have to ask...

Hahahahaha, I'd never seen this before. Ahahahahaha.
