    Can you explain your working here chief?

    United have won the Scottish cup twice in living memory, they've been in a European cup final and won the Scottish League, they've made more money than outgoing transfers and have a slightly higher average match-day attendance. 

    As I'm sure most United supporters will happily tell you they've also got a 100% undefeated record against a certain Spanish superclub. 

    Without calling in an expert on Dundonian football history I'm just cherry picking facts here but it's hard to find an argument that Dundee FC can better that. Even Lee Wilkie bailed for the tangerine half. 

  2. Aberdeen - Probably should be more successful

    Celtic - More likeable than Rangers

    Dundee - Overshadowed by their brighter, more successful sister

    Hearts - Don't seem like the kind of grounded honest club that Hibs are, seems like a public schoolboy football team to support

    Hibernian - I don't mind them, David Gray's goal in the 2016 Scottish cup final was a great moment, seem a real working mans football club

    Kilmarnock - I can't think of a single positive or negative thing to say about Kilmarnock

    Livingston - Have one of the nicer football stadiums in the league

    Motherwell - Family friend is a huge Motherwell fan. Keith Lasley was good? That's all I got. 

    Rangers - It was fun watching them play in the lower leagues of scottish football, they should bring that back like a yearly sweepie or something

    Ross County - If I was a professional footballer in Scotland this is where I'd want to play

    St Johnstone - I saw Callum Davidson in a Perth Costa once 

    St Mirren - I don't actually know where St Mirren is

  3. Keith Lasley for Motherwell? One of those dull defensive midfielders that no-one else really wanted for their club but had the kind of association with one club that says cult.  

    David Gray for Hibs, seems like the more defensive minded players get cult hero status, not the longest time at the club but the winning goal in a cup final after 100+ years without it gives him the nod 

    Malpas for united, dunno if its more fitting to call him a club legend than just a cult hero, hard to say where one ends and other beings but he's the first player I think of when you say Dundee United

    Really struggling to think of any more attack minded players you'd consider a cult hero

     

  4. For me Gretna.

    I almost totally missed it given I didn't really start following Scottish football till the 2008-2009 season, I obviously heard about it in the background but I was mostly following European and Premier League football at the time. It's a real genuine fairy-tale story, at least as an outsider, not sure the St Johnstone fans would be saying the same, certainly Geoff Brown had some choice words about Brooks Mileson but it's an interesting story.

    It's good to be part of St Johnstone's collapse into disaster as well. Pretty much all the Saintees posters on here are complete wankers so watching them drop down the leagues will be decent.

    if there had been any modesty or humility about their double cup winning season then maybe but there just seemed to be a "whats the next record we can break" mentality 

    which is fine but "going through an SPL season without winning a game" isn't quite as enviable

    TR3 is as blocky as a I remember. Can see why they appealed at the time though. 

    They were superb in their time in the early days of fully 3D games, they have aged fairly poorly though, don't get me wrong I have a lot of nostalgic love for them but they are not games I ever went back too or ever want to, TR3 in particular was bathshit hard, you would just flat out die if you didn't touch the controller in the first 10 seconds but yeah a definite fondness for them, one of the best game series to come out of the UK. Be interesting to see how Tomb Raider Reloaded turns out

    That Barrymore clip must be from around 25 years ago, and yet here we are! Can’t believe people are so determined to make others lives more difficult for no other reason than bigotry. 

    turns out bigotry is a profitable venture 

  8. Dark Souls 1 is the best for me, I've still to finish Elden Ring and never got a chance to play Demon's Souls but the way the world of 1 is so inter-connected really made it special.

    I wanted to like Sekiro but it just annoyed me to the point of switching off out of frustration and never going back to it
