Rumours going about yesterday that Askou is on his way to Celtic.

Team playing a different way than they did in Leven’s previous stints as caretaker. Not playing same tactics.

Some doing for St Mirren tonight. Looked like Motherwell took their cup exit out on them. Only watching on phone coming home on train so maybe missed something but the red card for King looked unbelievable and no idea what ref or VAR saw.

Thought we were unlucky to lose today. Better team until we scored then seemed to take foot of gas and let them into game. Thought it was a penalty at the game but still to see it back on tv. Never a red card though. Second half thought we looked better team scored great goal and thought there was only going to be one winner then Dundee hit a wonder goal. Now to contradict myself a bit. Not convinced by Bratveit at all. Looks an awful keeper. Aremu is either massively unfit or shite I just cannot work out which. I am not convinced by Frame defensively. Looks okay going forward but that’s it. Geiger is also not match fit but can see a player there but until he gets fit he is going to give away a lot of fouls as looks yard off the pace of the game at the moment. Morrison should not be starting if any of the other centre backs are fit. He’s shite.

I am not convinced that Leven is getting much input this time around. I think our Director of Football is having a lot of influence.

This is turning into a cluster fuck and guessing it won’t feel anything like a World Cup has in the past. Every single part of it seems to be various different US organisations with their hands out look for money. From charging for fan zones, the ticket prices and the cost of accommodation it all just feels different to before. Glad I decided not to go.

Probably Kings as for one before hand and not thought post game.

Cameron is a Hun who had the choice to come to us but chose to go to the Huns and sit on the bench. He has no interest in signing for us and said when he signed this is about getting game time and going back to Huns. Might be a nice lad but we should not be helping him or the Huns. Felt the same way about Christie and Scales with no option to buy. I should say that I do accept you will have player who support both of the bigots who you sign permanently but at least they are at least committing to us long term.

Last minute decision to head up today. Given up trying to understand the suspension rules (link if anyone is bored https://www.scottishfa.co.uk/media/1849/suspensions-for-players-in-mens-football-annex-c-section-4.pdf ) to figure out who is suspended and who is not. Club are saying Geiger is playing so will maybe get to see him today. Dundee supporting brother says they are shite and he expects us to win comfortably. In Train then pub Y Pub then train back to capital 2-0 Nisbet and Keskinen.

Been pretty poor. Finished 0-0. Thought goal that was chopped off in first half should have stood.

Their manager is working miracles there. Really surprised he has not been poached by another club by now.

Who is no longer with the club.

See he has 2 goals and 1 assist in his first 5 games with FC Utrecht.

Stick this in here. For quarter final Gyamfi (whatever happened to him), Keskinen, Milanovic and Palaversa are all one yellow card away from a suspension in the cup. Yellow cards are zeroed after the quarter finals.

If it’s deemed serious foul play or violent conduct then it’s automatic ban for next game irrespective of the competition then next game in the competition the that the card was recieved in. So I would think Geiger will miss the Dundee league game and then the Dunfermline Cup game and Shinnie will be suspended for Dundee league game As an aside trying to find the list of suspended players is a right pain in the arse these days. SFA used to publish a list weekly but guessing it must be something they put on the player registration system these days.

According to Pars fans they would expect us to get the East Stand (usual away stand behind the goal) and half the North Stand (one opposite Main Stand) to start with which is roughly 4,400 tickets. Think that should be enough with the game live on TV.

Basically what Orlando said.

Glad to have called this one wrong. Carried a bit of luck but take it.

Sadly lost 3-1.

How many yellow cards is that?

Dons 1-0 up on Fraserburgh at half time. Findlay Marshall with the goal.

Team for game against Fraserburgh tonight. 1. Rodrigo Vitols, 2. Oliver Green, 3. Dylan Ross, 4. Lewis Carrol (C), 5. Jamie Mercer, 6. Cooper Masson, 9. Joseph Teasdale, 10. Tristan Stephen, 11. Zak To, 14. Jack Searle, 17. Findlay Marshall Subs: 20. Theo Simpson (GK), 7. Samuel McLean, 12. Aaron Cummings, 16. Heath Duncan, 18. Cayden McGuinness, 19. Bradley Chikomo

I would say not getting the Leicester gig is dodging a bullet as they have just been docked points under financial fair play rules and likely to be having to reduce costs for the next while.
