U12’s – Premium £8, Cat A £5, Cat B £2


My views are it will be hard on the DFC fans who go to 70% of the games and have to pay £30 for games v Celtic, Rangers ect. They might just miss out on these games and watch them on the TV

Myself I can't plan much until the fixtures are out, as I work every second weekend and it will affect the price I pay for my Son as well.

News From Dens

In the last two games before the split Dundee earned a 0-0 draw with Celtic at Parkhead. Which was a hard earned point for the club. Then on the Saturday they were beaten 4-0 by Rangers at Ibrox. I missed both games due to work. I suppose a point is better than nothing at least the teams around us  did not gain any advantage.

Dundee 1, Hearts 1, Dens Park, Ladbrokes Premiership, 01-April-18

Dundee earned a 1-1 draw with Hearts on Sunday which they fully deserved. Manager Neil McCann made two changes with Jon Aurtenetxe and Simon Murray replaced Kevin Holt and A-Jay Leitch Smith who were on the bench along side Craig Wighton who was in the squad for the first time this season.

Hearts started well and scored on two minutes when a good passing move set up Callaghan who fired a shot home to the joy of the Hearts support. Dundee attacked from then on and caused the Hearts defence a lot of problems, Roarie Deacon went down in the box but was adjudged to have taken a dive and was booked for the Referee. Soon after the Hearts keeper saved well from Murray who had tried a chip shot. But on 27 minutes Dundee were level good play from O'Hara set up Deacon who's cross was bundled home by Sofien Moussa at the back post. Dundee fully deserved to be level and they continued up to half time pushing Hearts back.

Second half started and Darren O'Dea was replaced by Genseric Kusunga  Darren was injured in the first half and had tried to carry on. Dundee had a great chance when Caulker's header was cleared off the line and Moussa followed up but his was shot was turned round the post for a corner. With ten minutes to go Kevin Holt came on for Jon Aurtenetxe and soon after Simon Murray raced clear but instead of passing back to McGowan he went for the shot which went wide. Near the end McGowan was again unlucky when his rising shot just cleared the bar.

Dundee had to settle for a draw in the end but it could have been all three points, Hearts did not do much today and all the Dundee players gave their all. It was good to stop the run of defeats and it was much better to watch.

Dundee:Parish, Caulker, Meekings, O’Dea (c) (Kusunga 54), Deacon, O’Hara, Kamara, Aurtenetxe (Holt 80), McGowan, Moussa (Leitch-Smith 84), Murray. Unused Subs: Ferrie, Kerr, Spence, Wighton

Paul McGowan Signs New Deal

Dundee Midfielder Paul McGowan has signed on for another year with the option of another year. He was linked with a move to St Johnstone this week in the Scottish Sun this week.

Aberdeen 1, Dundee 0, Pittodrie, Ladbrokes Premiership, 21-March-18

Dundee lost 1-0 in a poor game at Pittodrie, going by reports Dundee were very poor and Aberdeen not far behind the dark blues. A Jay Smith-Leitch missed a one on one with the dons keeper . He Roarie Deacon hit the top of the bar. Aberdeen got the winning goal when Elliot Parrish made a mess of coming for a cross and Shinnie had a easy tap in to seal the three points for the dons 

Second half was a non event for the dark blues going by reports and it's a worry for the Dundee fans on where the next goal is coming from far less points. I could have went but the kids wanted to go and see Peter Rabbit which we did it's looks like I got better value for my money than going to Aberdeen. I will be at the Hearts game on a week on Sunday.

Dundee: Dundee: Parish, Holt, Caulker, O’Dea, Leitch-Smith, Kamara, Moussa (Murray 45), O’Hara, McGowan, Deacon, Meekings (Kerr 78). Unused Subs: Ferrie, El Bakhtaoui, Aurtenetxe, Lambert, Curran

Dundee 0, St Johnstone 4, Dens Park, Ladbrokes Premiership, 10-March-18

Manager Neil McCann made three changes to the side which lost to Motherwell two weeks ago in the Cup. A Jay Leitch -Smith, Jesse Curran and Lewis Spence replaced the suspended Paul McGowan and Glen Kamara, while Sofien Moussa dropped to the bench.

Perth Saints had the better start as Dundee struggled to get going, and lost Lewis Spence to injury on 18 minutes. Jordan Piggott came on to replace the young midfielder. But six minutes later Saints took the lead slack play from Dundee and Davidson's shot spun of Jordan Piggott with the ball ending up in the net.

Soon after Dundee had a couple of chances with Murray and Deacon going close for the dark blues. Just eight minutes before half-time and Saints go 2-0 up. Another sloppy goal to lose with Kane having a easy tap in after good play from McLean.

Second half and Moussa was on for  Cammy Kerr and soon after the game was over as a contest another poor goal seen Alston score after Parrish saved the first effort from Kane. Minutes later it was 4-0 as Kane fired home to complete a poor day for the dark blues.

With the next four games against Aberdeen (H), Hearts (H) and Celtic and Rangers (Away) it looks a tough run in to the split. Lets hope Ross County and Partick Thistle struggle to pick up points or we are in big trouble.

Dundee: Parrish, Kerr, Parish, Kerr (Moussa 45), Caulker, Meekings, Aurtenetxe, Curran, Spence (Piggott 18), O’Hara, Deacon, Leitch-Smith, Murray (El Bakhtaoui 65). Subs Unused: Malherbe, Kusunga, O’Dea, Lambert

Dundee 0, Motherwell 2, Dens Park, Scottish Cup 4th Round, 10-February-18

Dundee were knocked out of the Scottish Cup by Motherwell losing the game 2-0. I missed the game due to work. What I have seen the two goals were very poor. Tanner scored the first one just after 30 minute mark when his shot beat the Dundee keeper.

Worst was to follow early in the second half when Holt headed home with the Dundee keeper in no-mans land. Dundee did have chances but failed to take them on the day.

Dundee 1, Ross County 4, Dens Park, Ladbrokes Premiership, 03-February-18

Dundee lost 4-1 to bottom club Ross County, on the day they were very poor and County fully deserved the three points. It was a big chance for Dundee to climb the table and move clear from the bottom three.

The Staggies scored just after half time and although Kerr Waddle headed home to level the game. County scored two quick fire goals and that was added to in the final minute.

The final score was 4-1. It was a bad day at the office for the dark blues.

Hamilton Accies 1, Dundee 2, Super Seal Stadium, Ladbrokes Premiership, 27-January-18

Dundee fell behind after just two minutes when Mark O'Hara sliced a clearance into his own net. Not the best starts for the dark blues but going by reports they came into the game and had a few chances in the first half. From the highlights Hamilton were unlucky when they hit the post with Parish well beaten.

Second half and Dundee came into the game and Moussa scored which looked onside to me. But likely the changing time in the game was when Templeton was send off for a second booking offence. Sub Matt Henvey scored six minutes after coming on to level the game.

As Dundee pushed hard for the winner goal they finally scored in the eighth minute of injury time a great Glen Kamara pass was helped on by A Jay Leitch-Smith to the delight of the Dundee fans.

A massive result for the dark blues and pushes Dundee up to ninth in the league.

Dundee 0, Hibernian 1, Dens Park, Ladbrokes Premiership, 24-January-18

Dundee made three changes to the team which faced ICT last Saturday, Jack Hendry, Jesse Curran and Faissal El Bakhtauoui all came in. Darren O'Dea and Scott Allan moved onto the bench and Sofien Moussa was suspended. 

Dundee struggled in the first ten minutes , Hibernian looked quicker in midfield and Elliot Parish had to look sharp in the early stages. Dundee's first chance came when good play from Kamara and he send Aurtenetxe's cross was headed just wide by McGowan. 

Hibs were the better side in the first half, but Dundee started the second half well and Mark O'Hara was really unlucky with a shot which went just wide of the goal. But minutes later Hibernian took the lead when Dundee failed to clear in the box and McGinn turned quickly to find the net with a low drive. 

Mark O'Hara was unlucky with a well placed header from eight yards out, just before that McGowan put one wide when clean through. Scott Allan was on now replacing Jesse Curran and Dundee looked so much better going forward. Hibs were still dangerous on the break and Parish made a couple of good saves in the last few minutes of the game.

Sub Matthew Henvey just about levelled with a header but sadly for the youngster he just missed the goal. Dundee pushed to the end but Hibs held on to take all three points.

Dundee 2, Inverness Caley Thistle 2, Dens Park, Scottish Cup 4th Rd, 20-January-18

Dundee made three changes for the Scottish Cup tie with Inverness Caley Thistle with Darren O'Dea and Josh Meeking's returned after injury and Sofien Moussa replaced the injured Marcus Haber.

Dundee started well moving the ball about and Scott Allan looked lively sitting just behind the strikers. But it was the visitors who took the lead against the run of play a long throw was missed by O'Dea and Meekings and Doran smashed the ball pass Parish to give the Highlanders the lead. 

Dundee then had a few great chances but both Leitch-Smith and Moussa missed when it looked like they should both score. Dundee continued to push forward but had to watch Caley Thistle on the break. 

Second half and it took just 2 minutes for Dundee to level the tie, a neat one-two between Allan and Leitch-Smith who's shot was touched into the net by Sofien Moussa. It was then all Dundee for a spell as they pushed their visitors back who had to defend deeper.

It took a great save from Parish to keep the tie level from a Bell header. Soon after Dundee went 2-1 a great run forward from Mark O'Hara and the big midfielder finish well from 20 yards out. 

Dundee made a few changes with El Bakhtaoui coming on for Allan and soon after Wolters came on for McGowan. But as time was running out for Caley Thistle they snatched a goal after poor defending from Meekings and O'Dea and Oakley stabbed the ball home to earn a replay. 

Dundee did try and win the game in the closing stages but failed to create anything clear cut. A draw in the end was a fair result and Dundee will have it all to do on Tuesday the 30th of January.

Dundee : Parish, Kerr, Meekings, O’Dea (c), Aurtenetxe, O’Hara, Kamara, McGowan (Wolters 85), Allan (El Bakhtaoui 61), Leitch-Smith, Moussa. Unused Subs: Malherbe, Holt, Curran, Waddell, Henvey.

Newcastle United 3, Luton Town 1, FA Cup 3rd Round, St James Park, 06-January-18

As Dundee are in their winter shut down, we as a Family decided to have a Family day out in Newcastle and seeing the prices for the game was very good £15 for myself and Son Andrew it was a good opportunity for us to go.



After  30 minutes the game exploded in a glut of Newcastle goals in a nine minute spell .Ayoze Perez pounced on Marek Stech's error for the opener and added a second after Stech had produced a smart save. Jonjo Shelvey extended the lead, side-footing in his first goal since April, but Danny Hylton steered in after half-time, prompting more Luton pressure. Hylton had a second goal ruled out and Elliot Lee also rattled the woodwork.

Luton done very well in the second half and they were a wee bit unlucky as the second goal might have stood as it seemed a tight decision.The Luton  fans made noise than the home fans maybe just expecting a result does this. 


I enjoyed the game and good to see Ex Dee Andrew Shinnie doing well in the game. Afterwards as I checked the scores I had to laugh at the Dabs at Falkirk, The First Divisin is not easy and their fans are now finding that out. They made fun out of us for long enough.

St Johnstone 0, Dundee 2, McDiarmid Park, Ladbrokes Premiership, 30-December-17

Again I missed the game due to work and it was a great win for the club at Perth. Winning 2-0 is a massive boost to the club as we head for the winter shut down. A early strike from Marcus Haber put Dundee on the road to victory.

In the final minute A-Jay Leitch-Smith sealed the win with a great strike to send the Dundee fans home happy.

Dundee 0, Celtic 2, Dens Park, Ladbrokes Premiership, 26-December-17

Dundee lost 2-0 to league leaders Celtic at Dens Park. Two first half goals from James Forrest and Leigh Griffiths sealed the three points for the Glasgow side. I missed the game due to work and going by the reports Celtic were just too strong for the Dark Blues on the day.

It was good to see  that two promising yougsters got some game time for the first team,  because that is the future of the club.
