Any United fan of advancing years will tell you The Shed was the all standing terracing behind the goal at the top of the slope. The term has sometimes been used to refer to the collective group that stood there. Shed Rule/Shed on Tour/Shed on the march etc. But is has never been used to describe our club as an entity.

I stood in the Shed for years
I watched many a game there
I was right in line with Finn Dossings goal v Juventus there
Among many other great Shed memories

The Shed as a place still exists but The Shed is not Dundee United.
To be honest mate i hate the phrase grinding my gears,i also hate the the use of the word awesome.I blame ****ey American tv shows aimed at our bairns.The other day i heard one teenage male saying to another,"Kylie has got awesome knockers."Its fair to say that Australian soap's are not helping either.
