Tough time for DFC fans just now, the media system does not help the club as Manager ect get loads of abuse. Some which I find very sad to see and read. This week I left two groups as I would rather not read them anymore. I will trust the board to do the right thing in the long run, and back my team by supporting them through good and bad.
I'm sure Managers in the past would have got the same abuse on social media if Facebook ect was on the go 20 years ago. The local papers don't help either if the club or players do well they keep at until a player leaves on transfer ect, like wise if the team are struggling the Manager will get it in the press.
Sadly times have changed in Football and not for the better in my view, I just hope that Dundee FC can put a big smile on my face at 17:00 this Saturday

Dundee 0, Hibernian 3, Dens Park, Ladbrokes Premiership, 22-September-18
Dundee lost 3-0 to Hibernian at Dens Park last Saturday, in the first half they held their own and started the game well. Adil Nabi was unlucky twice with efforts with the first on was well saved by the Hibs keeper. Hibs did have chances as well and Parish made a couple of saves. Dundee had a penalty appeal turned away when Madiange went down in the box, it looked like one at the time , but after seeing it later on TV is was not and Referee called it right.
Second half and Hibs hit the bar in the first minute, it was a warning and Hibs scored twice in 10 minute spell which sadly ended the game for the Dark Blues. Hibs added the third with five minutes to go. Dundee struggled to get back into the game after Hibs scored the first goal, they need to fight more and keep the heads up as we need to get a result next week at Hamilton.
It was good to see Glen Kamara back in the team, I thought Mendy had a good enough game when he came on, l try and take positives from the games and we must fight as a club to get our season going.
Dundee: Parish,Kerr, Inniss, Boyle, Calvin Miller (Mendy 70), Madianga (Curran at half time), McGowan, Kamara (c), Ngwatala, Nabi, Källman (Henvey 87). Unused Subs: Hamilton , O’Dea, Spence, Dow.
Attendance: 6,076.

Rangers 4, Dundee 0, Ibrox Stadium, Ladbrokes Premiership, 15-September-18
Dundee did have a wee spell but failed to take their chances, they really should have done much better but maybe the players need a confident boost. Rangers sealed the points with a third goal right on half-time when Darren O'Dea gave away a penalty.
Second half and it was a better performance from Dundee but they failed to attack more with Rangers missing a few chances. They did score with 10 minutes to go to make the final score 4-0.
It was always a tough ask for Dundee to get the points today. I was hoping for maybe a point but losing a goal early killed any chance of that. Team wise it was good to see Elliot Parish back in the goal he had a good game making some good saves. Darren O'Dea came in but struggled at times he has not got the pace now. Kenny Miller was sent off near the end a straight red following a late mistimed tackle to add to Dundee's woes.
I just hope we can get points in our next three games as it's vital now to kick on. It won't be easy against a good Hibernian side next Saturday at Dens. I will always back my side and it's been a tough start to the season for everyone supporting Dundee this season. It was not a great following that travelled through to Glasgow today.
Dundee: Parish, O’Dea (Kusunga 50), Boyle, Kerr, Curran, McGowan, Madianga, Ngwatala, Calvin Miller (Nabi 70), Kenny Miller (c), Källman (Moussa 62). Unused Subs: Hamilton, Mendy, Spence, Moore.
Attendance: 50,130.

Dundee did pull on back on 71 minutes when Benjamin Kallman headed home a great cross from Calvin Miller. For the next 10 minutes Dundee pushed forward but were unlucky not to level things up.
