1928 never again

I actually canna decide if youre at it, or if you really think that anyone remotely gives a flying phuck about your 'No Fizzy Pop League Wins' pish.

At first I thought it was tongue in cheek...but your actually trying to sell that shyte eh?

Tell me, were you embarassed when you came up due to Rangers dying?

This is the best forum left on the once-great Footymad network, can't help myself

But facts are facts, if Dundee United come up via a playoff, then you seriously have to ask yourselves, how desperate are we? To come up in 2nd is absolutely pathetic, to win the Fizz, which you haven't done in 91 years, if that means nothing to you, you're first generation. And yes, I did not want 'promotion' after the huns, I have pride. Do you?

Dunno. I think it is Sheds and Taints having their usual argument about average crowd numbers across the road? The fact that Taints came up with 1928 suggests to me that Sheds was quoting a lower figure but I can't be botrhered looking.

Taints, it's all about consistency me lad. We are the inveterate 2nd besters. It's how we got up the last time. That's why we couldn't get promoted when we finished 3rd. Since 1974, when we reached our first ever major cup final, the year after Dees history ceased, we have been cup runners up 18 gazillion times compared to our very few (by comparison) major cup victories. Any Dee in their mid 40s has never seen a successful Dee, but have lived through all of the Shed's success, and of course all those second besters!

By the way, don't get confused between 'the Shed or Shed's' and 'Sheds.' The first refers to the Club and the latter refers to our gracious board member 'Sheds.'

Just for you Taints. This is how it was. Not long after colour TV came to the UK. Many still had B&W back then. I like this vid. It is a reminder of how the proud fall and the humble can rise, as the cup win was soon brought to naught and the wee team grew mighty. Enjoy. Brilliant too. In many ways it is a forerunner of the Shed (not Sheds) to come.
