Thought I'd post this wee rumour here and I stress it is a rumour, the father son duo who were let go as groundsman at Dundee were to sign an agreement with Dundee for a payout so as not to speak to press etc, the father did however I'm hearing the son didn't and has proof on his phone etc by way of messages from Dundee manager to "flood the pitch" for their Aberdeen game which was called off due to a waterlogged pitch, the reason being injuries and suspensions had Dundee down to the bare bones, now as I said this is a rumour from a workmate who is a Dundee fan who also said the son is in talks with newspapers about breaking the story, time will tell if there is anything in this or if it is just my work mate at the wind up.
1.) 17 apr 2024 07:41:04
a very interesting tale, and one i will await the outcome of with relish, probably not true, but then again, football is a murky business sometimes, this sort of thing has occurred many times, and other dodgy practices, yes, very interesting indeed, not unheard of.
2.) 17 Apr 2024 08:58:34
Sounds like a wind up but if true I reckon it would've been the club hierarchy handing out the instruction not the manager. Would love it to be true and they get banged down the leagues for cheating!
3.) 17 Apr 2024 09:13:55
Well if true and either signed an nda and are leaking info to press Dundee can sue them for everything they've got.
4.) 17 apr 2024 10:18:24
no they cant.
5.) 17 Apr 2024 11:05:58
I’ll go for incompetence over conspiracy pretty much every time.
6.) 17 Apr 2024 12:03:15
Tom if an NDA is broken there are financial legal implications, yes they can mate.
7.) 17 apr 2024 12:10:02
not for everything you got they cant.
8.) 17 apr 2024 12:13:23
most nda are broken legally, and some will cost you financially, they won't sue you for everything is what i said, not they won't sue you, , nda is a minefield, many have been challenged and torn up before, not as simple as just " sue you for everything you have "
9.) 17 Apr 2024 13:45:23
Just to clarify lads, the story I was told was the father had signed the nda but the son hadn’t, hence if all of this is true there wouldn’t be anything Dundee could do if it came from the son, as I say it could be workmate at the wind up but stranger things have happened.
10.) 17 apr 2024 14:32:41
if so the massive skoolboy error 56
getting the father to sign any nda and not the son would be almost criminal . hope so.
11.) 17 Apr 2024 17:22:18
I'm with you now tom, aye there's huge financial risk at stake for breaking one though, you're right, of course the keyword here being IF anything was signed.
12.) 17 Apr 2024 18:37:42
I was chatting to a Dundee fan on Facebook this week who showed me proof that the flooding is due to new build houses and insufficient drainage. He showed photos from the week the games were called off and the road was under a foot of water, all running towards Dundee's stadium. Apparently the SNP led Council need to stump up £3.5mill to fix this issue, so have been putting it off.
13.) 17 Apr 2024 19:55:28
Dont think there's any new builds where water would run towards dens.
14.) 17 Apr 2024 23:02:11
Surely if Dundee's ground was affected then United's would be as well. Whatever the situation is it's a shambles and needs sorting. If it isn't sorted then Dundee shouldn't be allowed to play in the SPL.
15 Sep 2022 09:02:32
Just heard a wee rumour there, and I stress it's only a rumour, gio will be sacked if we drop points at the weekend, also heard from same person he may even be sacked if we win but struggle to that win, again guys, just a rumour.
1.) 15 Sep 2022 09:26:55
If that's the case then its shocking. Gio tactically masterminded our run to the EL final, qualification to the CL. Yip 3 poor results but against good opposition. We drew at hibs due to poor ref and petulant buff. Lack of ambition from board and Ross wilson, Gio should have been backed in the summer.
2.) 15 Sep 2022 09:31:06
Unfortunately football is a results driving business.
And the buck always stops with the manager.
I still have faith in Gio.
Though it may be tempting for the board to change manager next week as we have an International break that would allow them time to get a replacement in.
3.) 15 Sep 2022 10:04:08
Listening to the press conference last night was the most snippy I have seen Gio. He's begining to look like a man under pressure. What is the point in changing the manager though if he isn't backed. Gerrard wasn't backed when he wanted to kick on, Gio hasn't been backed this summer. If we get a new manager is it going to be more of the same?
4.) 15 Sep 2022 10:09:52
In my opinion, Gio has lost the dressing room and isn't able to lift the team in the way a class manager should. Although I feel he should move on, I have no clue who I would look to for a replacement.
5.) 15 Sep 2022 10:18:49
Hopefully he gets more time than that. because if the list here is to be believed we definitely won't be upgrading!
6.) 15 Sep 2022 10:28:21
Did watch the game last night, do the bouncey? The team were more than lifted for the game. They were well up for it.
7.) 15 Sep 2022 10:32:58
He didn't look like he'd list dressing room last night every player put in a shift.
8.) 15 Sep 2022 10:37:10
Agree SuperAlly, Gerrard not backed and now Gio. With the money we brought in we should have brought in the players to get to the next level, it never happened and look at us now, we are paying for that. Some of the names that have been mentioned don't inspire, ie Parker, OGS etc, I'd rather keep Gio thanks.
I'm not sure about him losing the dressing room, the effort last night wouldn't suggest that for me, although we will tell after the United game.
9.) 15 Sep 2022 10:51:36
Lost the dressing room? What rubbish. Marked improvement last night and there seemed to be a very real desire from the team. He struggled at times but I thought Kent put in a really good shift.
10.) 15 Sep 2022 10:57:14
There's a good few that should be going from rangers long before gio!
I still firmly back the manager and he's been hung out to dry imo ?.
11.) 15 Sep 2022 11:14:06
Board and wilson mostly to blame here we have sold quality and replaced with bang average IMO guys in the team miles off it at the moment but will not get dropped because what's on the bench is no better something needs to change rapidly while i'm losing faith in Gio its clear he’s not been backed the way he would like to be.
12.) 15 Sep 2022 12:21:06
Neil McCann I agree and have been saying since first window they have not backed gio at all. Club signings only how can a manager implement his team ideas without getting players he knows suit his game plan. This is why smelltic look so good as they have given him freedom to go after his own targets. As a new manager you should be allowed to bring in at least two of your own targets at the start and then they should be used as a reference of how good you will be with recruitment.
13.) 15 Sep 2022 12:22:20
Superally ? 100% correct.
14.) 15 Sep 2022 12:28:34
True blue can't agree on Kent he was all over the place bad positioning every time when he should have stayed out left he came way into the middle so was not available for the switch when we had the ball on right and looking to cross he should have been getting in at back post but wasn't this is why Kent doesn't score any tap ins his positional sense is dreadful as I said before Kent last two seasons goals for rangers 3 Jota.15 abbada.20 and most of abadas goals tap ins at back post Kent is all flash no substance and now constantly running into dead ends passing when he should take man on and taking man on when he should pass poor poor decision making.
15.) 15 Sep 2022 12:29:28
Walter ???100%.
16.) 15 Sep 2022 12:47:17
Absolutely coop. 100%.
17.) 15 Sep 2022 13:53:56
SWS spot on ???????????.
18.) 15 Sep 2022 16:12:24
One guarantee is that Dundee United won’t roll over and down tools after 35 mins against Rangers. I expect a tough game with United sitting in for 90 mins and watt, McGrew and fletcher surprisingly back to their best.
Hopefully Gio has us up for it and we get stuck in. I’m still backing the team and Gio and hopefully get a run of wins in league and put this sacking talk to bed.
19.) 15 Sep 2022 16:16:53
What I saw last night was the players that were brought to the Club under Gerrard along with Lundstram and Sands showing total commitment to the jersey. That doesn't sound like a situation where GVB has lost the Dressing Room.
The Big concern for me was the fact that none of this Season's new signings were in the starting line up and that certainly doesn't give me the comfort that these were players that GVB was desperate to sign.
20.) 15 Sep 2022 21:19:26
From where I was standing in the Broomloan rear last night, I saw a definite improvement from the Celtic and Ajax matches, The red card was a big moment in the match, after we lost the first goal which they needed 3 penalties to get, Gio went for the equaliser with his subs and left the defence a bit open but it was worth the gamble.
The Champions league is a bonus this season and winning the championship more important.
With the injury’s we have at central defence Helander, Souter, Davies, Laurance and Hagi in midfield injured, Jack and Morelos not up to speed yet. I think Pep Guardiola would struggle to do a better job than Gio.
He took us on the most fantastic journey to Saville last season and with a little luck on penalties he would be a legend buy now.

Heard a bit of chat about the walker-Peters lad leaving Southampton, we will be linked with him no doubt, sure I heard he was on the verge of an England call up a while back, could he be a player we could go after? wages etc be a problem?
1.) 11 Jun 2025 13:58:42
We have been mate a few times. He was a good player but I've not watched him of late, at 28 he should be getting into his prime. Does sound like a promising link.
2.) 11 Jun 2025 14:00:26
Well go to EPL.
3.) 11 Jun 2025 14:13:47
With the general view of £20k a week being out of our model then I think any player that has offers to high championship/ premier league might be a problem. Whether this player has that or not, I'm not sure.
4.) 11 Jun 2025 14:32:47
West Ham offered him £75k a week he's out of our price range.
5.) 11 Jun 2025 15:34:38
Young European/ South American etc that will run through a brick wall for 8 grand a week and that will make you good money is the way we have to proceed with most signings, any player near 25 grand plus ain't happening.
6.) 11 Jun 2025 18:00:46
I'd take Walker Peters in a heart beat, not the biggest, but quick and good both defensively and in attack. He is right footed but has been used as a left back by Saints at times.
Having said all that, I doubt we could afford him, even on a free.
05 Jun 2025 19:30:47
Would anyone take a punt on Werner from Leipzig, seen he can be got for around 3-4million, not had a great last few years admittedly but could he do a job?
1.) 05 Jun 2025 19:38:29
I don't rate him atall. We
Couldn't afford to make him our highest earner either.
2.) 05 Jun 2025 19:43:39
His wage would be crazy mate.
3.) 05 Jun 2025 19:47:56
On his day he's a quality player and finisher, issue i'd imagine would be wages.
4.) 05 Jun 2025 20:16:28
Na, not for me.
5.) 05 Jun 2025 20:47:00
No afraid not. not even if he was on £5k per week and free.
6.) 05 Jun 2025 20:47:10
Yeah but what's his wages? ? silly season on transfers has started.
7.) 05 Jun 2025 20:52:17
Good few seasons ago yes but he's been off it for a long time.
8.) 05 Jun 2025 20:52:57
Plus the fact he's out our wage budget anyway.
9.) 05 Jun 2025 20:58:12
Angus totally agree mate I just done see what the fuss is or rather was.
10.) 05 Jun 2025 21:05:20
Nah mate, whatever happened to that boy i will never know, looked electric when he burst on to the scene, but i have watched him in a right few games and he's just been terrible. Who knows if it's a lack of confidence of not being able to step up to Premier league, but your only as good as your last couple of seasons and he's been poor in that time, mostly not even starting.
11.) 05 Jun 2025 21:15:33
Was good for RBL a few seasons ago and been missing since.
12.) 05 Jun 2025 22:18:02
Stevie his stats at Leipzig were excellent but since then his stats have just gone downwards. might just be the right system with the right team; now he gets paid a great salary the motivation has gone. then you lose confidence. I would take the Timo Werner from RB but not the one from Spurs. shame really.
04 Jun 2025 12:21:20
Hearing Fabregas to Milan and Ancelotti to Como.
1.) 04 Jun 2025 13:03:14
Daniel Di Rossi favourite for Como.
2.) 04 Jun 2025 13:13:55
Apparently according to Como, Fabregas is staying. Never know though.
3.) 04 Jun 2025 13:33:45
Fabregas has agreed personal terms with Inter- info on X.
4.) 04 Jun 2025 14:03:28
He isn't staying he is going to inter.
5.) 04 Jun 2025 14:42:40
I think you have put two and two together DTB because I spoke to a workmate today and suggested that. No info just a suggestion.
31 May 2025 08:03:12
Just watched the helicopter Sunday programme on sky, what a comeback that was, but what about big Marv, needs an ACL op. nah no for me I'll be back in a few weeks, what a guy!
1.) 31 May 2025 12:23:59
Big Marv became my hero after that, legend, don't think he was a believer in sports science lol.
02 May 2025 23:22:59
Has anyone seen the Troy Deeney story about guards of honour for winners, it's about teams giving Liverpool a guard of honour, in his words . its a load of bollocks, he says why would anyone want to stand a clap a team onto the pitch whilst thinking well done you won the league and we weren't good enough, totally agree, what a load of nonsense. this comes up every year and there's a big hooha about it and I've no idea why because no matter who wins the league it's just not going to happen and it's madness to anyone that thinks it will "out of respect". geez peace!
1.) 02 May 2025 23:54:27
Hes right but an absolute tit of a boy. See the way he was carrying on in that baller league. Idiot.
2.) 03 May 2025 00:31:11
Aye I seen that Paul, back in my playing days I'd have got up and smashed him, few red cards back in the day for reacting to stuff like that.
3.) 03 May 2025 06:37:32
Paul I tried to watch one game of that didn't last long it's just utter nonsense that baller league.
01 Jul 2025 14:01:39
In English please?
24 Jun 2025 11:31:28
No biggie, we move on if true, can't be held to ransom from anyone never mind a guy that's had a good season in league 1.
05 Jun 2025 07:38:30
Just put sky sports news on, banner along the bottom says live from ibrox at 8am, good info mate ?.
04 Jun 2025 15:58:54
Everyone walking away as the rumours say, to clear the path for Marco Rose? fingers crossed.
03 Jun 2025 12:04:23
Hope he brings his Mrs up the road with him ? ?.
06 Jul 2025 13:59:21
No Rothwell in squad either?
03 Jul 2025 17:18:46
Was announced yesterday mate.
25 Jun 2025 07:58:25
Big thumbs up to ayshire, like him at my work I deal with this, probably not to the same level, first aider and also mental health first aider at work, this is a serious thing, not to be downplayed, having been through it myself during covid I had really bad anxiety attacks, couldn't leave the house for weeks at a time due to it, having spoke to someone and get some help for myself I thought I could provide a bit of insight to help others and went to work to see about doing the mental health side of first aider etc and they rolled it out, I now help people at work most days (big work force) . if anyone needs and help or just to speak there are people that can help on here or through other means, please don't be ashamed guys, I was and it was to my detriment. reach out if anyone needs it guys ❤️??.
20 Jun 2025 07:47:54
Seen this a while back, think Micah Richard's was on the podcast aswell, he fell off his chair laughing when gazza said that, absolutely brilliant.
18 Jun 2025 17:56:26
PAT NEVIN! ???????, enough said.
