Another derby schooled by Calum Butcher. Graham Dorrans, though.

We’re not very good at football. Fortunately all the other teams are shite too. If Shankland stays fit we’ll probably crawl over the line first. If not we’re fucked. Some bantz from Christoph Rabitsch pretending to be Billy King’s brother.

I got 10/1 for Scotland BTTS on Sky Bet last night. Down to 4/1 now.

Jeez. Assumed it was a back four with Watson at full back and Sporle further forward. But apparently not.

Don’t want to be that guy, but Robson’s been complete pony for over three years. Four decent games this season (three and a half really, he was floundering with the rest of them in the first half against Thistle) and we’re steaming in with a three year deal. You can make the same argument for Neilson and his purported contract extension. Would it do any harm to hang off for now and, like, just see how things go?

Announce Billy King.

I hate to ruin your fun but shouldn't it say "Dundee United win the Scottish First Division"? No.

Aye me too, think they’ve edited it.

United’s Twitter saying Sow’s loan is until January.

Think that’s right, about 400 seats. Though if they’ve opened the section of the Shed closest to the Fair Play not sure why they can’t open that section of the JK too.

All women and kids from East Angus too. Sickening.

8000 I’m hearing

There were only 100 left earlier but can see the ET now has a few tickets dotted about, and they’ve opened the section of The Shed closest to the Deagles. Will be fun times in there, assumed it would be closed for segregation. That’ll be over 10,000 Arabs on the night. And they said we’d never make it!

Great view from the front row of the JK, if not for the constant flow of people walking past for a peh and a pish.

Like you’d be going anyway.

Fair dos. All seems like a bit of a stooshie about nothing to me.

Thought you got the tickets on Friday? Considering the greeting been going on you’ll sell out your allocation in next to no time anyway?

Tickets for the derby shifting quickly. Final section of the Shed now on sale and East Stand sold out. Already got the FEAR and there’s two weeks to go.

Are Adrián Spörle and the Dundee United Argentina boy on Twitter the same person? Not even on the bench tonight, he’ll be an ironic Pie and Bovril user name in five years time.

Still worry that we’re still mostly shite being honest but f**k it, tap o’ the league and Shanks is on fire (purely metaphorically speaking). Oh, and Jamie Robson MOTM, just fur thu LULZ.

Good signing that.

Aye, surprised he did it. Few years down the line maybe. Though he was good player for us he must have cringed a bit when he got a bigger cheer than Narey, Hegarty et al. Or apparently not. It was a recurring joke about him being inducted into our hall of fame but wouldn’t be surprised now.

Ha ha. Salty. Like Dundee wouldn’t do the same given the chance? The tannoy boy playing Down, Down, etc when we got relegated at Dens. Dundee’s official Twitter feed celebrating the anniversary of the Doon Derby. The Dundee mascot dressed as a fat guy with ‘Miller’ on his back for oor Charlie (who laughed about it, by the way). Nothing wrong with a wee bit of good natured banter between the two clubs - and it’s done the job judging by your response! It’s why the Dundee rivalry is the best in Scotland, with none of the hatred that poisons the other derbies.

Jeez, small world. Worked with her at Pensions, you two were at my wedding! Hope all’s well.

Although I've obviously seen him knocking about Grouchos for years, it's only in the last few that I got to know him. My wife likes to collect old record players and Alistair would refurbish them ridiculously cheap - he just did it for the pure pleasure. RIP. Yeah, he did that for a girl I used to work with, too. Your wife is not originally from Beauly by any chance?!
