East Fife

[ClashCityRocker]

Failing to qualify past the first round of the Scottish League Cup is not acceptable - there are 3 part time teams from the lowest league in this group and United still can't secure a second place finish ( even if they did, it would probably be outside the top 4 best 2nd placed teams in each league ).

Any team hoping to win the league this season can't really afford to lose more than around 6-7 games and will need to keep draws to a minimum.

It will be a tight league this season - but if United can't beat East Fife at home in a cup match knowing they would qualify for the next round, it could be a warning sign of things to come.

I was sincerely hoping that a revived United this season would encourage Middle Eastern Sanitary Technician to resume posting on this board. After last night's performance I suspect there's a fat chance of that!

You rarely have anything to say about Dundee United, you pine incessantly for Arab_Plumber, get a ****ing life and if that gets me a ban you know what its gonna save me a lot of time. I have the greatest respect for any fan on here that disagrees with me but no respect for people who call our club The Shed and are right up other posters. FACT

Our club is not called The Shed. Our club is called Dundee United. The Shed was where people like me gathered in the sixties.
The chant Shed go marching on wasnt meant to mean "Dundee United go marching on" it meant the Shed go marching on - supporting Dundee United.

In March 1967 I was in the Shed right in line with Finn Dossings strike that won the match. Were you there?

True, I haven't said much about Dundee United Football Club in recent times, but hey the season has hardly started. So far I have only been to the Cowdenbeath game this season. Yes 'The Shed' originally referred to the enclosure at the west end of the ground and transferred onto the fan base who assembled there. For a small band of us who did not hail from the City of Dundee, who gathered in the original Shed, but were not part of the Dundee culture of the Club, the term, 'The Shed' transferred onto the team, and in fact all things Dundee United. I have had this fact out several times before. It appears to be anathema to some of the support who identify with the city culture of 'The Shed.' Please spare a bit of understanding for those of us, albeit few, who grew up supporting Dundee United and referred to them as the Shed. True we were aliens to the city itself, but our love for the club was no less than those who grew up in the city, perhaps moreso on account of having to save up our pocket money and expend all of it once a fortnight to visit the Shed.

As for Middle Eastern Sanitary Technician, I am not alone in feeling his absence. He was a good stimulant for this board.

I don't want you to get a ban. I might not agree with you some of the time, but you are entitled to your opinions and also to relate to things as per your experiences. We can all learn from one another. In my parlance you appear to have been a 'Shed' longer than me. I commenced at the end of 1969-70 season.

I'm born and bread in Dundee and have supported United for many years and I occasionally refer to the team as The Shed.

Just don't use the word literally arround me when you actually mean figuratively. 😂

Literally over the moon DUSC. 😛

Apologies mate. I had a bit of a bad night last night and ended in a meltdown. We all say things we regret sometimes and I'm no different. Arabest.
