Twinkle Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Very good start to the season. Im Goodwins biggest critic but hes built what looks like a solid enough team to compete at this level The most surprising thing at this stage is that we are above the Dens Park Globetrotters... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butters Scotch Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 (edited) 6 hours ago, ArabianKnight said: Is he better than McKenna or Cooper? Hard to say, will get a real test against the old firm. McKenna is surprisingly mobile for a big laddy, but I think Graham has the edge pace wise. Technically I think McKenna is more experienced and confident in what he does. Cooper, tbh I've never really seen much in him that's impressed me but his record is decent. Hard call. Prime uninjured Tierney is levels above him but certainly wouldn't put it out to be too wild a call when compared to the other options. Graham is decent enough for this level but the answer to your question is no. Graham is nowhere close to Hanley, Cooper, Porteous or McKenna's level. Guys that have consistently played at a much higher level than Graham. Lets reevaluate at the end of the season and see if he develops enough to make it at a higher level.

Granny Danger Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 The most pleasing thing about being above the city’s wee team in the league is that it stops most of the tedious c***s from infesting our threads. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it's also, in part, prevented the two week break between games attracting 'Goodwin Out' element in the United support dominating the topic. Anyway, two questions, if that's ok: a) maybe I've missed the news, but has the idea of a Sports Bar in the old tram shed next to the club shop been abandoned? It appears that way. As far as I know United own the building, but perhaps the Covid tragedies pushed back plans. b) also, have there been any updates on the supposed investment interest from Matthew Benham or Tony Bloom? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinkle Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Unsure of a) but when it comes to b) im led to believe they were up here the other week going through the books 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems to have been put on the back burner and no word of happening for a couple of years now. https://ardler.ltd.uk/portfolio/dufc-sports-bar-dundee/ Would be a great addition to the current pre match pint at Tannadice. There was chat amongst some that the club had ideas of painting the road (or certainly the paths) on Tannadice street Tangerine! Not sure how they would get the "tangerine" light to go ahead with that 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam899 Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 Ffs how cute is this On a serious note, smashing start. Very happy with our return given the difficult start against all top six sides, and a good point at you lot. I fancy us both to be competing for top six tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your draw and win against the Maureens and Hearts is arguably more impressive than our draw and win against the Fun and Hearts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say most Arabs are cautiously optimistic given our reasonable start to the season whilst you are the one getting excited because you have the FEAR. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam899 Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 Nae FEAR here. We’re a good side and are confident we’ll have a good season. Like I say, I also think you lot will too. Both sides aren’t even at their strongest yet. For us that’s defensively. We’ve lost McCowan which is a blow but we’ve got a lot of creativity so hopefully won’t impact too much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget perspective, stick to facts Utd :- Dundee H County A St J H Hearts A Dees :- UTD A Hearts H Hibs A St M H No debate about who has had the easier start which is reflected in the points tally. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
