Tangential to the 'banter', but am I the only person left who uses the two-fingered salute?
Not seen it for a while - not as effective imo but each to their own.

Big Team found
You have lost me - there is no club bigger than Dundee FC.
My other footballing commitments involve being pished watching my son in Blackpool.
Thank you.

Blatant trolling aside I like St Mirrens team this year - their manager is a p***k and their fans on here transcend that title but overall there’s a lot to like about St. Mirren this season.
I’ve been a Dundee fan long enough to suspect we might actually go and do the business this weekend - only to blow it in spectacular fashion / St. Mirren get a wild and unexpected result to pip us - and I wouldn’t grudge them it as they have led the way for most of the season.
A good crowd, a cracking atmosphere, 2 teams entertaining the fans and a lovely spell of weather played on the most (in)famous pitch in the UK at the moment - what’s not to like.
I will not be in attendance due to other footballing commitments so if someone could please give a 2 handed - 1 finger salute to the away end whilst screaming “Thank you” on my behalf it would be appreciated.
Thank you

Black and White stripes rising to the lazy bait.
Delicious.

I hope the St Mirren fans enjoy their big day out at a real traditional stadium and with that real “big club” feel.
It’s really endearing seeing how excited their fans are for the event and reminds me of my first European campaign with the Dees many moons ago.
There’s a part of me that wouldn’t grudge the plucky underdogs their 2 matches in the sun, but it’s not a great look for Scottish football having these minnows in there when establishment clubs like Dundee, Aberdeen and Hibernian are not there - so with all that said I hope the wee Saints enjoy their day out immensely but leave having been entertained by a swashbuckling dark blue side and wish us the best for our upcoming European campaign.
Thank You

Shifted 1300 already, which is a good bit more than what the massive Dundee brought to Paisley
I’m fairly certain the game at Paisley was not a European showdown.
Thank you

If we want to be regularly qualifying for Europe we need to be beating provincial sides like St Mirren as a matter of routine.
Thank you.

Minter.
lobbing pyros at players, that performance and that pitch invasion. Just nothing about Dundee Utd at all.

They had interviewed Yimmy Te-LEEN a year ago for the job. Not sure how much more forward their planning could have been.
That is part of my point - they interviewed and passed over a candidate a year ago.
They have then made a song and dance about their new recruitment strategy - consultants, market leading experts - taken a significant period of time and hired someone already on the database.
Free money for these so called recruitment experts.

"Most clubs"? Really? I'm struggling to think of one.
The window between a sacking/coach leaving and a new man being announced is generally far shorter than the circus at Aberdeen - I think that is very much fair to say.
Usually before pulling the trigger boards have been doing a bit of planning and speaking to people…It’s perhaps more stark in Aberdeens case as Warnock was never a long term solution - so they should have appointed him and immediately began that search - however it seems like they appointed him, made a brew and watched as he floundered - planned to get rid of him still without looking and then he left…
Its all a bit embarrassing tbf and I don’t think any realistic Aberdeen fans would disagree. I’m a Dee - I recognise embarrassing.

I will be watching with interest.
For me this whole consultancy board etc has been an absolute load of corporate nonsense jazzing up a standard process with buzzwords. This is clearly a Cormack thing - Insaw the AberDNA pish somewhere recently - I work a corporate job and my tolerance for that type of corporate veneer is astonishingly low.
Most clubs strategically plan in the background, have succession plans in place and quietly set up the replacement in good time. Aberdeen clearly haven’t done that for their past 2 appointments which should be very alarming.
If it’s true they interviewed Thelin at the same time as Robson and opted for Robson - then have taken months to simply approach someone they previously interviewed I would call into question the undoubted expense of this very protracted, cloak and dagger operation.
As for the managers prospects - I hope he does well (but not as well as Tony Doc) - it’s nice to have new blood in the league. I do however think Scottish football is unique and a big challenge for managers new to it - so I’d imagine giving him time will be inevitable. Of all the fan bases and owners I’d identify as patient Aberdeen would be very low down on that list.

Bakayoko one of our most underrated players this season.
I love the big man. Lots of work off the ball and has a fair share of goals but brings others into play - the first effort against Rangers from Boateng for example - Curtis Main isn’t making that chance.
Main has always been a player I admired/hated playing against so def has his place - not slating him by any stretch - but he 100% needs a pre season for me.

If you’re gonna let Dessers score 2 you deserve everything you get.
Shame as with the implosion recently at Sevco I really fancied the Jambos to twist the knife.
Bigot fest final incoming

I’m sure after Glen Scotia has calmed down from the pitch invasion for the league not being officially won just yet he’ll be back to tell us how tin pot we are.
I’m looking forward to it…

@Glen Scotia - Someone I saw described as a decent DAB poster by a fellow Dee the other day.
Now you’re here in the build up to your biggest game of the season with your head completely decapitated from your shoulders, stamping your feet and greetin.
Football Clubs are judged by history across their whole existence - Dundee and Utd are equal in major honours which is really all that matters. Is it more embarrassing it took you so long to catch up or that we allowed you to? Both the same really.
All that really matters is the here and now - the league position gives a clear example of which team is the better one in the city at the moment.
Who knows might be Utd next year - but that’s what makes it so exciting.
Now go and watch your team ffs - you can post in this forum next season.
Thank you

As someone who has only lived in Dundee (well only place in Scotland I’ve lived) I’m genuinely astounded that places other than Glasgow and its outskirts allow orange walks.
its not a thing here. If they tried to make it a thing they’d be told to fucking do one.
Seem to be seeing a lot of chat about them on here and across the internet (assume the algorithm seeing I spend time on here and it’s chatted about on here regularly)
Saw a reference to it happening in the highlands (possibly county v rangers thread) and it blows my mind when you consider how oppressed the highlands have been historically.
Just say no to the c***s.

If there’s been one thing that’s become more and more noticeable as Utd edge towards finally winning the league - it is that their fans seem happier to come in here and chat.
When they realized how inept they were this year and how annoyingly competent our season has been they seemed to forget their logins.
Nice to have them back and particularly looking forward to scudding them and their dimwit (thank you biggy) manager next season for the relative peace it will bring.
Thank You

Yeah, the standard of refereeing in the Premiership is also gash, no argument there, but I think you're less likely to get away with all the fly, dirty stuff that goes on in the lower divisions because it'll be caught by VAR.
Do I detect someone pining for VAR…
I don’t disagree things get picked up but tbh - I just don’t see that as a positive. Every minor infringement is becoming a penalty as we drift listlessly towards a no contact sport imo.

Looking forward to my first trip to tannadice on Saturday. Decent pubs to break up the long walk from the station?
Stay in town and drink there and get a taxi up to ground near KO - loads of good food and drink in Dundee centre. Can’t really go wrong.
classic boozers - trades, Phoenix
wanky cocktail vibes - DCA, Casa
Real ales - BrewDog
Generic - number 1s, Bertie Mooneys,
orrrrr…. Head straight up around the ground and head to Frews, The Snug (not sure on away fans but Dundonians - even DABs - are not generally arseholes)
on a budget - Fairmuir clubbie - loads of teles and £3 a pint - just pay your £1 donation on entry

Cheers guys - I think if I was an Arab I’d be worried about him there - and I think your brief sabbatical has perhaps skewed your perception of the standard of refereeing in the top flight.
We have Curtis Main for example who just slowly ambles about bullying defenders relatively unchecked
I’ve seen bits of the young lad Graham and he looks to have a decent future - be interesting to see how he copes with the step up. I’m assuming Declan Gallagher is your other CH? Also a player I liked at Dens - how’s his legs holding up?
I’d imagine he’ll be like Joe Shaughnessy for us - wins everything in the air but perhaps legs gone a little and a wee mistake in him?

Dees v St Mirren- the battle for European glory
in Scottish Premiership General Chatter

I assume the Dundee players were as pished as I was on Friday night.
Ive not even watched any highlights yet as it turns out when your pushing 40 kids football trips take more out of you than stag do’s but from reading the thread it seems we got utterly pumped and Saints deserve their almost guaranteed European jaunt.
Fair fucks you horrible panda b*****ds - have a beer for me on your travels as I’m never drinking again.
Thank you
