Left Cupar on the 09:52 Virgin train to Carlisle getting there at 12:10, got the connection for Dumfries at 12:18 arriving at 12:55. So everything so far is on time at a cost of £36.60 I would hope so. Made my way to The Spread Eagle pub for a few prematch pints, there is a few Dundee fans in and times goes quickly. I meet up with Neil and Russell and we head for the game.
Dundee start brightly in the first 10 minutes, but we can't find that cutting edge and we look to be control when we give away a soft penalty, Greg Strong letting Weir get past him and Ludovic Roy brought him down, John O'Neil scored with ease, into the second half and after just 3 minutes Alex Rae made a mess of a pass and Weir ran onto it and played in O'Neil to cooly beat Roy to get his second goal.
After that Gary Smith came on in place of Strong, and later on Mclaren and deasley both came on, but we can't play our way back into it. The final whistle sounds and it's another 3 points lost on the road. My man of the match goes to Scott Robertson who put in a lot of effort today.
We head back to The Spread Eagle pub to get final scores ect, with St.Johnstone getting beat it makes the result even worse, we then head off to have a pint in The Hole in Wall and The Globe pubs. We get the 18:30 train back to Glasgow Central arriving at 20:27, then I get the 21:00 train to Edinburgh then finally the 22:38 train back to Cupar at 23:35.
A long day with all the travelling I just hope we can start getting some results to reward the loyal dundee away fans.
