Oh cmon get real, that was a total outlier. Why would any united fan want to go to an away derby match and watch us be antagonised throughout the whole game knowing our neighbours were gonna relegate us whilst having to watch overpaid Imposters on the pith give absolutely nothing back to our club.
United have been a club since 1909 what you on about! My grandad played for United in the late 50's and been United fans in my family since 1930s so already trumped you there
It's called being a supporter through the good and bad times. Pretty basic stuff for a genuine fan imo.
There was no Dundee Utd in 1909.

Doh!!
In fairness the point was Celtic winning that particular fixture rather than it necessarily being against Dundee.
My failure is still duly noted tho!
I get it Buddie, the excitement of potentially reaching Europe is making our brains malfunction lol

In terms of how Celtic and Rangers impact the race between us and Dundee, the ideal scenario for us would be as follows.
This weekend -Rangers beat Killie and Celtic draw with Hearts.
Next game - Draw between them.
Next games - Rangers beat Dundee and Celtic beat Killie.
Next games - Rangers lose to Hearts and Celtic beat Dundee to win the league.
Final game - champions Celtic turn up smelling like a barman’s tie and still hawf pished.
Job done.
Job is a botch job sadly. Got the fixture dates mixed up and Dundee don't play Celtic again
Apart from that it's a good effort...

Are you only including players who were great players for Dundee or are you including has-beens who helped you go bust?
Assuming the former, I'll give you Dave Mackay, Alan Gilzean and Gordon Strachan. The rest of the team would be Buddies. Actually thinking about it, Frank McAvennie or Dougie Somner would probably oust Gilzean for the striker role.
I know you were joking about Yardley and I know he scored a lot of goals for us, but if I was to name the 1st, 2nd and 3rd best saints teams of all time, sadly the big man would not feature in any of them.
This is brilliant
Dave Mackay wouldn't even be in the top 200 Dundee players never mind a dual team.
Gordon Strachan wouldn't get anywhere near the team too.
As for comparing Gilzean to McAvennie
I liked McAvennie but Gilzean was on a different level to him. As was Billy Steel, John Duncan, Tommy Coyne and Sofian Moussa...
I'm thinking Billy Stark might be the only Saint to make the squad.
We're bigger than Saints in every way. More trophies, more fans, more European adventures and more administrations.

I'll take the Saints-loaded XI and zero administrations, cheers.
I genuinely don't think there would be any Saints in a joint team. It certainly wouldn't be loaded with Saints
Thank you

If Dundee and St Mirren had a joint all-time time does anyone think that there would be a single Saint in it?
I'm thinking Mark Yardley would maybe pip Alan Gilzean but that's about it.

Robert Thomson of The Sun suggesting that Sky are wanting the SPFL to pay the £100k bill of them sending TV crews to our twice postponed Rangers game and the SPFL plan on passing this onto us tomorrow in the disciplinary meeting.
Must be true if it's in the Sun lol
In all seriousness, its never going to happen and if it did ( it won't) then I'd hope the club would fight back. Plenty of things the club could do to hit back at Sky. For example next time there is a live game on Sky and the fire alarm gets set off then evacuate the stadium and cancel the game. Let's see how Sky react to that....

Why is that weird? It's still in our own hands and if we do finish second bottom then it will have been deserved. Wanting The Rangers to fail isn't that weird either, at least for the rest of us but I know you boys and the hearts might think differently.
OK sure, i believe you when you say you wanted Ross County to win and leave them 1 point behind them

Just had a look at the last couple of pages and there's a an awfy lot of Dees posting. Here was me thinking they didn't care....very weird behaviour lads.
It is very weird behaviour. In fact it's nearly as weird as pretending you were supporting your main rivals for relegation yesterday......

There is an element of deja vu around this fixture.
If I am not mistaken, Dundee have twice clinched 'top six' at our place.
One of the times, I think Caniggia was among the scorers, and the Dees celebrated like they'd just won the Champions League. That may sound snide, but it's not meant to, those were bizarre and exciting times at Dens.
The other game was more infamous in the Granite City for the planned walkout in protest at the shambles the club was at that time on and off the park peaking with Pele P's car boot exit. In the event a few folk did exit stage left around 4.30 and got absolute dogs' abuse from others for doing so.
I always found that rather strange, considering there were only around 7K home fans in the ground - and if people cared enough to turn up at the ground for a dead rubber (for the home side) and then walk out in protest, then they clearly cared about the club.
As for tomorrow, I think it suited Dundee to have their midweeker called off, as the three points they need are clearly much more attainable here, then they would have been against Sevco. Coming off a midweeker on a heavy pitch wouldn't have helped.
We still need a result or two to ensure we avoid the abyss and a sudden u-turn from a nordic management team that don't fancy trips to Airdrie and Greenock next season. One thing is for sure, we will need to play a lot better than we did at Dens recently, and also this time the borderline VAR call that seems to happen in every one of our fixtures goes for us.
You've got the game with Caniggia mixed up. He scored on his debut in Sep/Oct. We did celebrate like mad
You signed Billy Dodds

Right. So Dee fans taking their team from their dads is ok, but for DU fans it's not. Gotcha.
Just as well nobody ever switched from any other team to DFC when they were doing well back in the 50s or 60s eh?
If we got bought over from a Sauda Prince then any glory hunting Dab turning up in the Derry in genuinely going to get a boot in the baws and told to f**k off...

Don't think so. Those 2 blocks are open usually for all away fans. We then open up sections of the North when needed for the category B like games and if needed by the bigger team, Utd, Aberdeen and the Glasgow & Edinburgh clubs, we open sections of the Ormond stand.
Fun fact- there was more Dundee fans at Muirton to watch us win the league and relagate the Saints ( lol ) than McTracter Parks record attendance.

They must be the ones that don't sing 'we are the Dundee haters' then..
I'm not way wide of the mark, I would objectively like United to always be in the same league as Dundee as it's a pretty boring season without having your local rivals in there for a derby. That doesn't mean I would want to see short term pain inflicted on them in the way of relegation. Any St Johnstone fan who suggests otherwise is just pretending, otherwise they need to update their songbook.
Isn't it the city of Dundee they mean though?

40 years ago aye? So that accounts for all the 50-60 year olds in their support.
What about all the younger ones? In my Tayside wanderings for work and leisure, the average age of a DU fan is not noticeably older than a Dee.
That's the point I'm trying to make mate.
The younger utd fans only support them because their dad's/grandads swapped the team they support. I can honestly say that is something I'd never do.
Maybe I'm old fashioned but your team ( should be your local team ) should be passed down from generation to generation to generation.
In other words ' it's in your blood '

That doesn't even make sense.
Do Dundee United fans just get spawned in a lab at age 18?
It clearly makes perfect sense if you have any brain cells.
For the dafties out there I'll explain in dafty talk so you can understand too.
A lot of Dundee utd fans used to support Dundee, Celtic and Rangers but jumped ship in the 80s.

The main difference between Dundee and Dundee Utd is that Dundee's support is generational. My dad, grandad, great grandad, great great grandad all supported the Dees and passed down the love that comes with that. Utd support is different in that the vast majority of their support isn't generational. In other words we're the good guys who won't change our club for anything.

Potential relegation is a fans biggest dread. Being a Dundee fan I know all about it sadly so i can understand what you are going through right now. The feeling of being relegated is hurting that much that you have to pretend that all is OK, I'm not bothered, lets build up again etc etc
I'm not going to lie, I want you to get relegated, feck the Tayside Derby ( St Johnstone's biggest game/games of the season, every season) we've got the proper Derby back next season anyway.
Levein must stay
