On radio tay Keith Wright said scoring 3 v utd is one of the highlights of his career.
Next up Alex Smith said he lost his 1st derby and dundee celebrated like they'd won the scottish cup. How the **** does any dundee player or fan know what it's like to win the scottish cup?????

In addition, those Dundee fans about to enter their dotage, or older, do have a 1973 Scottish League Cup win from which to assess a comparison, it being classed as a major Scottish Football honour. That one of course is a double edged sword. It marks the 'end' of Dundee FC's major honours successes and begins the tenure of what became the 'Big Team' in Dundee, for the following year United reached their first ever major honours final, the Scottish Cup, and although resoundingly beaten by Celtic, it was the first step in the Golden era. Senior Football in Dundee is mainly about ancient and modern history. Our successes began when Dundee FC's ended. I can remember the transition well, which proves I am about to enter my dotage, BUT, I remember it with a clarity that suggests I still have possession of my marbles. I understand that some posters will have opposing opinions about that latter remark!

The only way to make them see sense is to descend to their level. They are limited to two goals in life, beating United (irrespective of the importance of the game) and rejoicing in their two modern day Fizzy Cup wins. If we are to engage with them in any meaningful debate, then it must be on their terms of 'meaningful' which is as aforesaid. This is why we 'must' beat them on Sunday AND why we must do a League Cup and win the Fizzy for the second (successive) year. They lead 2-1 on Fizzy wins and (from their perspective) this means everything to them. How could it be otherwise? We could win the Championship, the Scottish and League Cups this year, but from a Fun standpoint this is all meaningless, it will all be about they have won the Fizzy more than us. We must put that factor to the sword this year (from a Fun standpoint) and if normal Derby service is resumed, then as the Tremeloes used to sing.... 'Silence is Golden!'
