Dundee Derbies Tonight


Recommended Posts

Does this require a new thread? Not really, but it's not as if there is a lot to speak about right now so this is as good as it gets.

Two Dundee Derbies tonight - kinda.

First up is Lawrence Shankland vs Declan McDaid (Obviously unable to use the Dundee teams on Fifa - but still)

Then relive James McPake's best mate Maurice Malpas look about 75 year old and score in his 500th appearance for United:

That Derby is of course better known for a famous Dundee celebration though:

Shankland vs McDaid starts at 6:30pm on the page described in the poster above.

Highlights of the real game start at 7pm on BBC Scotland.

Both are on at 7pm or just the actual game? 

6:30 for the Fifa match according to the poster (As in the picture poster!) above. Dunno if there'll be usual radio fluff before it though.

Very happy memories of this game. Dees tore them a new arse for 75 mins then in true DFC fashion almost presented them with a point. This was the week before the League Cup final v Aberdeen where we shat it in the most spectacular fashion. A great day out up to the start of the game. I remember sitting on a wall outside the ground getting nicely toasted watching bus after bus of excited Dees going past. Some great players in that side.

Yup, George Shaw hit the post at 3-0 not long after Weighorst scored. Had that gone in it would have been a total scudding. Pageaud made a couple of fine saves at the end to hold on. Cracker of a game though

This is the type of classic content I want to see on Sportscene, not endless games involving Celtic and the dead Rangers with the occasional Aberdeen game thrown in.

Anyway, great season that was.
