Ludo*1 Posted July 19 Author Share Posted July 19 Louis Moult despite looking finished, can still be pretty deadly given the chance and the Macedonian's come with decent pedigree but probably for the first time in my life supporting Dundee, there's genuinely no-one to be worried or scared about in the United side. It's a strange feeling. We'll probably still get pumped - it's the Dundee way. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To suggest a 15 point gap is ridiculous - to take last season as an example - Kilmarnock in 4th and above were the only team with a 15 point gap over 10th and 11th. Dundee were still miles and miles ahead of County and St Johnstone last season - you won’t see many disagreeing - but the split skews the points as we played the strong sides while the dross cuts each others throats. Dundee are - as the squads stand - streets ahead of Utd - but opening day away from home and the derby makes it a very tough fixture to call. I’ll do a charity bet with you on this game - £20 to a charity of your choice if Utd win, £20 to a charity of my choice if Dundee win, or a tenner each to a charity of your choice if it’s a draw. I’ll extend the bet to £100 that we finish above you as a season long sweetener as I’m far more confident about that than this anomaly of an opening game scenario. 15 points!!! He’s confident, not. What a shite the bed. As for the bet, count me in too Buttery Boy. Unless you’re too scared? Edited July 19 by Fifespud 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a very pertinent post - both sides could look very different by the time the game rolls around. If we played Utd tomorrow with the squads as they are I think we win 9 times out of 10 - and that’s what my post that got @Butters Scotch (who has now gone very very very quiet) absolutely riled beyond all reasonable expectations said.

Oh, I can afford to go alright, I'm just not willing to pay £74 for myself and my 2 teenage boys to watch Scottish football with a multiple of untried players. I won't be paying for my stream either. f**k United. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinny arab Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 If Dundee do get a victory they still won’t have ended their Tannadice hoodoo, instead they’ll have won at the Calforth arena thing place (needless to say if Utd avoid defeat then the hoodoo continues). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uhm well no you weren't factual, your post wasn't factual from the first line. I thought you were confident of your teams ability over United? You're already changing your tune which I thought as much. What about 10 points ahead of United then, surely not too much to ask for? I'm not taking any one off match bets, the only way to judge a teams ability is over the course of a season hence why I offered this type of bet considering all the noise you were making... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the term is shat it. I offered you a season long bet. The fact you are trying to handicap it (initially by a huge margin) speaks more to your own shitebaggery than anything else. That offer still stands as I am supremely confident we will finish above Utd. I won’t make any handicap bets until the window is closed as too many unknowns - Utd could go and sign 5 or 6 top class talents between now and window closing while we don’t. You have previous for launching money around - like flinging shite at a wall eventually enough sticks.

As you say, times have changed and it's understandable that so many Dees are confident. However, I will allow my heart to overrule my head (as usual) and go for a 2-1 victory for United. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam899 Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 I don’t think it’s up for debate who has the better squad. However, it’s a fucking derby at Tannadump. It’s hard to call. Can’t wait though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have previous for launching money around - like flinging shite at a wall eventually enough sticks. You've clearly shat it mate, not the other way round. You were super confident in your own teams ability stating you are a top 6 team whilst diminishing United's chances this season saying we will be as bad as St Johnstone and Ross County. Fine you didn't take the 15 points offer (would happily take this if roles were reversed) but 10 points was the gap between dundee and the other two teams before the split so if you're not willing to take me up on this then I'll put that down to you shiteing the bed. Also, I know where we stand at the moment and expect a very tough season ahead of us since we have a shitebag of a manager. I expect the Dees to finish well ahead of us in the league but it's amusing how you are not so confident anymore of a gap between the two teams.

Sarto Mutiny Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 Whatever happens, it will be nice to have some actual football as this phoney war is rather tedious. I'm not confident, but then I never really am. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Girth Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 10 hours ago, Granny Danger said: I hope we can keep this on topic, though the first few posts are not promising. We are newly promoted, trying desperately to bring in players to strengthen the squad and have limited time to get players to gel. Our first game against Falkirk had no redeeming qualities and I don’t think a win over Stenhousemuir is too much to crow about. Derby games are the biggest games for both clubs and I fear this one might have come a bit too early in the season for us. 10 hours ago, mungo said: The United squad looks absolute shite on paper and Dundee should horse them.

Girth Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 We should be skooshing this on paper. But football is played on grass (sometimes AstroTurf) not paper. However, it's a Derby and it's at The Fruitbowl, so it could go either way. Desmond again!? Thank you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArabFC Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 12 hours ago, Big Gus said: We're getting less than 2k tickets It's less can't afford to go and more won't get a chance to. Is this true? Shame if so. One of the best elements of the Dundee derby compared to others is the large support from the opposition fans in both stadiums. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
