Goal-less in Malta

Dundee’s drew their first pre-season friendly against Birkirkara at the Luxol Sports Club in Malta on Friday night.

Ludovic Roy was the first keeper to be tested getting down to save in ten minutes, while at the other end Jim Lauchlan came closest for the Dark Blues, powering in a header midway through the half which the Birkirkara keeper held.

In a fast, open game the early stages saw both sides fail to make the best of midfield possession, but as the half progressed Dundee came more into the game with David O’Brien getting in some good crosses after runs down the left, though Roy was called into action again in 37 minutes saving a shot from outside the box following Birkirkara’s first corner of the match.

There were four trialists in Dundee’s starting eleven with Sean Webb and Jim Lauchlan in partnership at the back.


Wholesale changes at half time saw six changes - with Bryan Deasley partnering Mickael Antoine-Curier up front as the second half got under way.

Eric Paton fired in a free kick and from it Craig Forsyth brought a save from the keeper as Dundee pressed and Mickael Antoine-Curier didn’t connect properly in front of goal from a Forsyth cross.

Antoine-Curier almost made amends moments later, coming close with a stinging drive from just inside the penalty area.

With nine minutes left Lauchlan and the other remaining trialist were replaced by Gary MacKenzie and Ross Grant.

Dundee had been comfortable at the back in the second period but Birkirkara almost snatched a win as Roy dived full length and was relieved to see the ball slip past the post.

Dundee—Roy, Cowan (Paton 46), Webb (Grant 81), Lauchlan (MacKenzie 81), Malone (Forsyth 46), Trialist (Young 73), McHale, Trialist (Daquin 46), O’Brien (Gilhaney 46), McMenamin (Antoine-Curier 46), Davidson (Deasley 46).

Match preview from our man in Malta
Dundee will play their first pre-season match against Maltese Cup Winners Birkirkara at the Luxol Sports Club on Friday evening and the game is scheduled to kick off at 7.30pm local time (6.30pm UK time) with an admission price of €5.00.

The squad went through a light training session tonight (pictured), watched by our man in Malta, Andy Lynn, including spending around an hour working on set pieces ahead of Friday’s game.

Four trialists are likely to get an outing in that game, including Jim Lauchlan who has made a big impression during his short time with the squad with the general feeling amongst the squad being that Lauchlan has a big personality and tremendous attitude. The Dutch striker who joined up with the squad this morning has fitted in well too.

Gary MacKenzie will sit out Friday’s match with blisters, though they are not serious, while Ludovic Roy has slight hamstring problems but will be fit to face Birkirkara.

Boys get a break
After a week and a bit of hard work, Dundee’s squad got the afternoon off on Wednesday, taking a boat trip out to the Blue Lagoon. Jim Thomson who’s in Malta with the squad told us that the weather on the Mediterranean island has been ideal and that the hotel, training facilities and most importantly the hospitality shown by the locals has been superb.

Andy Lynn our website reporter for the trip traveled out on Wednesday and he’ll be going along to watch the evening training session on Thursday and to chat and picture some of the squad for us, and on Friday he'll be covering the one match to be played on the trip.

That match, against Maltese Cup Winner Birkirkara, is scheduled to kick off at 7.30pm local time (6.30pm UK time) on Friday night. Birkirkara were drawn against Croatian giants Hajduk Split in the UEFA Cup draw made this week. Admission to the match will cost €5.00.
