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. 😛
Utd are referred to as The Shed by a lot of Utd supporters. Wtf's the issue?
Canna beat a bit of mothers pride plen. 🙂
it is interesting that east fifes first goal, their striker turns watson on the halfway line and gets to start running towards our goal. Surely the much hated Connolly would have brought him down and would probably prevented the goal if he was playing in that scenario? i thought we seriously lacked his aggression. he takes it too far at times but like Tuesday we missed that aggression.
not saying he would have stopped us from losing as we were shocking but sometimes we need more aggression in the team.
