Some clubs can't handle the truth

Younger United supporters or posters can educate me and i have no problem with that whatsoever.One thing they cannot change though is history.

There were older brothers of my father who did support the Dees(most people in the 50's did,FACT.My father rebelled and followed DUFC in the 2nd division and all his younger siblings followed suit.

My father detested the union flag,the masons and establishment club's of Scotland with a passion.If he never chose to follow the people's club i would be best mates with Cobra and posting on the DBF tonight.

You need to know your history before passing judgement,my father chose United when they were nothing and had never won anything.Everybody who was anybody in Dundee in the 50's or early 60's put their money into the establishment club which was DFC.

WASC with a FACT.

Is this how you know about the tales of Billy Steel round granny's Christmas table😃😃😃

GB,
What is forgotten with this modern rivalry is, supporters of football in Dundee visited both clubs in search of their football entertainment. Throughout our travels in the Championship, my father would regularly tell of how him and his uncle would alternate between Tannadice and Dens, and if there was no home game that weekend, off they went to watch Raith if at home.

Since returning to Dundee at the start of the 80s, there has only been one club for my father and i, and i have never looked across the road again!

There are still supporters who alternate between the 2 clubs, but they are of an older generation that may well die out over the next few years.

Big tribute to Ned and Andy who sat behind my family in the ETL on the back row for many years after it first opened, they alternated between dens and tannadice before and after the Second World War, when they weren’t playing football themselves

Ned had an Aunt who he visited in pitmiddle, in the 1930’s before it was abandoned

I’ve not seen either of them at games for some time and remember them always

Or the singing of ‘I Was Born Under A Union Jack’ in the Derry? Which happened - FACT.

Who said it didn't...it was a football song for us...rather than a party song like Rangers

Is this how you know about the tales of Billy Steel round granny's Christmas table������

My gran died when my father was very young,my grandad was very fortunate to find a lady willing to bring up all his bairns.She was the only gran i ever knew and as a Roman Catholic her leaning's were towards Glasgow Celtic.

My gran never blethered nonsense round the Christmas table Peter,FACT.

And when you sung we'll guard old Derry's walls what you actually meant was it was a Dairy you were singing about.That's what Shady Boy tried to say but one of your main men Ulster Dees never associated himself with your club for a pint of milk,FACT.
