    Returnetc, I don't know of any Dundee Arab Boy or indeed any other person who believes that DUFC are too big to fail, i.e. become extinct, if that is what you are asking? Obviously I can only speak for myself and perhaps a few other Sheds, but if there are any who believe as you imply, then it has to be a case of wishful thinking and ignoring the reality that there exists but a small step from the Limo to the gutter! As you say, very dangerous thinking...............with no small helping of foolishness as well!

    The Old Rangers are like the famous Norwegian Blue Parrot which once pined for the fjords. They are extinct. They are no more. A new club was raised from their pile of ashes which passes as continuity but that has only been possible because of a massive fan base and business potential. A failed DUFC, or DFC for that matter, could very easily follow the example of Third Lanark; a sort of First Dundee (meaning the city not the Club).

    The longer ST remains connected with the Shed the greater his portrait should be in the DFC Hall of Fame on account of services rendered to the Dees. My own team's scoring exploits (not) of late have caused me to 'zero' in on reality. Like a visit to the rifle range it has adjusted my sights on reality.

    Why can't you just give a simple answer without trying to be clever and coming across as a smart arse?

    Thank you my dear friend for enlightening me that I present myself (presumably to some) as an intelligent posterior. I make no attempt to be clever.....but to try and entertain, I am certainly guilty of. Maybe I'm a bit Deeranged?

    Pity I was hoping the too big to fail thinking was endemic in the singing and knitting sections and the majority view in the carmylie and district women's guild.

    Bit gutted if em honest.

    Wonder what Granville thinks.
