Dee Promotions would like to announce they will be hosting the Dundee FC Ladies Dinner on Sunday the 25th of May 2008 at the Invercarse Hotel. The main speaker has been confirmed as award winnning ex footballer John Gahagan,comedian Rachel Coull has also been confirmed to speak.

The meaningful end of Dundee’s season came with a whimper rather than a bang as they went down 1-0 to a Brian Gilmour goal to Scottish Cup Finalists Queen of the South at Palmerston.

His goal came three minutes from half time by which time Hamilton had more or less sealed promotion – they led Clyde 2-0 at New Douglas Park.

Dundee rarely threatened to score and there was little for 566 strong travelling support to cheer, not that they kept quiet, the team getting the same sort of vocal backing that has been a feature of a campaign where Dundee have challenged but not quite managed to reward that support.

Scott Robertson returned from six weeks out with a torn calf muscle to round off the scoring as Dundee eased past Stirling Albion 3-0 at Dens to keep their season alive, and the good news is that the midfielder looked fit and eager and looks like he’ll be available for the final two games of the season. Hamilton’s win at Livingston though means that Dundee need former Dee John Brown’s Clyde side to do them a favour at New Douglas Park next weekend, a win for the Accies will render the final match of the season at Dens between the top two meaningless.

Edinburgh based Supporters Club, the Capital Dark Blues, are holding a Sportsmans Dinner on Sunday May 4th in Edinburgh in aid of their 1% fund to buy shares in DFC.

Venue – Apex International Hotel, Grassmarket, Edinburgh

Date – Sunday 4th May (next day is a Bank Holiday!)

Time – 7pm for 7.30

So why not get together with a few friends and book a table at what will be quite a night. It may be tempting fate, but the dinner is a week after the final game against Hamilton and it could be some party!!

That goal gave Dundee reward for forcing the game on a difficult afternoon against a Morton side who were fighting for their First Division lives.

Due to overwhelming demand for hospitality on Saturday 26th of April we have created a package outwith the club.

Alex Rae was happy with his side side during the 2-0 win over Clyde “It was a job well done, I thought they worked hard and created a few chances” he said “I’m pleased to get the three points, it’s an important time of the season. I think we had a good shape and looked solid all over the park.

DFC in the Community have joined together with the SFA and Dundee United for this years Easter Soccer Camps. The camps will be run at various locations throught out Dundee. Please click application for a form.

Dundee 2 Livingston 0

Mickael Antoine-Curier continued his sensational start to his Dens Park stay with a brace of goals to see off Livingston at Dens, and edge Dundee within three points of Hamilton ahead of Saturday’s top of the table clash. Those goals took Antoine-Curier’s tally in Dark Blue to eight goals in five matches.

Mike fired his first in 48 minutes running onto a Colin McMenamin through ball and lashing an eighteen yard rising shot home, visiting keeper Colin Stewart got a full hand to the ball but the power beat him.

Antoine-Curier’s second came twelve minutes later, by which time Livingston had been reduced to ten men, debut boy Murray Davidson being dismissed after a second bookable offence on 50 minutes. Mike’s goal came from a free kick just outside the box, awarded after David O’Brien had been brought down, Antoine-Curier placing his shot into the bottom corner via the inside of the post.

Dundee were dumped out of the Scottish Cup by Queen of the South. Goals from Stephen Dobbie and Ryan McCann gave the Dumfries side a 2-0 victory.

Queen’s opener came seven minutes after half time when a ball over the top found Dobbie racing in on goal, his first touch killed the ball perfectly and his second dispatched his shot past Samson. Minutes earlier Jan Zemlik had wasted Dundee’s one really good opportunity of the match, Jamie McDonald spilling a Paul Dixon cross at the feet of the striker, but the home keeper made up for his mistake by blocking the Czech’s close range effort.

The clincher came late and was quite extraordinary, Keeper Samson was in the Queens’ penalty area as Eddie Malone fired in a last minute free kick, the ball ricocheted around the box before falling for home right back Ryan McCann just outside the area, he hammered the ball forward and amazingly found the net from near 80 yards.

It made sure of a win that the Doonhamers deserved, Dundee worked hard but lacked inspiration, while the home side dominated the first half and created the better opportunities of the second period.

The partnership of Curier and McMenamin once again struck gold, sharing the three goals between them, and this run of form could prove vital as the gap on leaders Hamilton closed to two points with the teams still to meet both home and away before the the title will be decided.

Following on from recent good performances on the pitch, there is more good news from off the park. The Edinburgh based supporters group, the Capital Dark Blues, have committed to donating £7,500 to the Club. At the next appropriate Board meeting, the Board will allocate approximately 1% of the shares of DFC to the Capital Dark Blues which will entitle it to many of the benefits outlined by the Board in the launch of the Chairman’s Club earlier in the season.

Capital Dark Blues member David Ellis said “The CDBs fully support the Board’s commitment to broaden the ownership of DFC and see initiatives such as this as the way forward for supporters to develop a meaningful stake in the club. The CDBs have raised funds through a prediction league, Burns Suppers and a forthcoming an annual Sportsman’s Dinner in May.”

Mickael Antione-Curier scored his second goal in as many games to set Alex Rae’s men on their way to a comfortable win over Morton, Gavin Swankie doubling Dundee’s advantage as the Dark Blues got off to a great start, but there was little further created in the way of excitement or goal-scoring opportunity.

It was a result that did, however, see the Dark Blues close the gap on league leaders Hamilton to four points as Billy Reid’s men dropped point at St.Johnstone.
