Last Game of a dreadful season Match Thread (Dundee)

[Blow.Up.Sheep]

Sorry Swaddon, but I just had to get this up and over and done with............. we move on.

Stephen Robinson takes his bunch of charlatans down the A90 to Dens Park in Dundee this weekend for what is thankfully our final game of what has truly been a fukin dreadful season.
We avoided the dreaded playoff spot (job done)

Avoid defeat at Dens Park and we will finish 8th and runners up in the bottom six table to the jutes. Defeat (which I think will happen) and we will finish the season in a totally embarrassing 9th place behind both Scumdee sides a nd wuite possibly just goal difference keeping us ahead of 10th place KIlmarnock.

What a fukin shambles of a season
Personally don't think it is going to end well either.

2-0 to Dundee and we close this chapter (finally) and move on and allow Robinson to start the major MAJOR overhaul required.

At least we winna be playing championship fitba next season which to be honest looked like a real possibility a few weeks ago.

Was going down to this, but last night broke me.

Couldn't give a shit about it.

It's hard to tell, can you confirm one way or another if you enjoyed this season or not?

[swaddon]

I fancy us to win 7-0.

Kevin Nisbet has scored in every game he's ever played at Dens Park. This includes when he played for Dunfermline. He never played there for Hibs (though did score v Dundee at Easter Road).

Whether he scores or not is the real story in Scottish football this week. 

 

[Ajja]

Heading up for this, looking forward to my last engagement with this team in its current guise. Roll on the LC group stage. 

[CurlsLikeTattie]

I went into this season with hope that Jimmy would find his way and we would give a good showing of ourselves.

So much hope.

Next season I will revert back to the default pessimism when it comes to the dons. That way I reckon we'll get minimum 3rd and 1 cup.

4-1 is against Dundee. Why not eh!

Cheatin' Beaton is TBITB for Sunday's game.

Easiest bet of the day is that twenty two players won't be on the park at the end

If it’s anything like Tuesday night, all 22 players will be on the beach. 
 

Can’t we just call it a draw and save everyone’s time?

[GASC1980]

What I find astonishing is that we have sold out our allocation for this game and have in fact been given a bigger allocation!!!

if it is was ever required, this is just another example of us having without a doubt the best fanbase in Scotland. The fans continue to do their bit week in week out and we are without a doubt the best fans in Scotland.

Shame we cant say the same about the team on the park.

Next season will be better the only way is up 

[manc_don]

Next season has to better. This was such a missed opportunity, before a ball was even kicked! Anyway, couldn’t really care less about the game, but it would be nice to end with some positivity, hopefully that’s not too much to ask for.

Problem with ending positively is, the powers the be might forget the previous 37 games and think "oh, these players can maybe do a job for us next season"

Does finishing 8th or 9th have any impact on league cup seeding?

This is what the beaks presented last year, if that helps?

“Teams are drawn into eight groups of five based on final league positions in 2024/25. As was the case for the past three seasons, there is no regionalisation in the group stage.”

It won't have any bearing as the teams that qualify for Europe who will obviously have finished above us will be excluded from the draw meaning we are guaranteed a seeding regardless of finishing 8th, 9th or 10th.

[Jute]

Totally forgot we had a game today until mate messaged he was at Haymarket earlier and penny dropped to why he would be there that early on a Sunday. Doubt going to bother watching today and just want this season over with. 

[Don Julio]

Can’t bring myself not to watch it. My only hope is we see some fringe players given an opportunity. Otherwise a complete waste of time.

Suman! Kjartansson!

Could be a 3-5-2, or a 4-3-3? I'm guessing the latter. Robinson has mentioned he prefers it, and he might as well experiment.

Giving them chance to make one last appearance before their adoring fans before moving on in the summer. 

[Slim]

Would have let Cameron sit this one out and give someone who is more likely to be here next season a game.

[Slim]

Has Pressley been on the Ozempic? Looks incredibly skinny.

[TheDonbytheDee]

Our keeper Suman,  looks a bit like Ryan Christie.

First time I've ever seen a picture of the loon.

[OxfordDon]

Bye Suman, best of luck.
