    Hear what your saying OA but, the bile, hatred whatever you want to call it has been around long b4 the www.com. I’m old enough to remember walking doon the hultoon after derbys and being bombarded with bricks always from a distance though fae the Derry rhumba, that doesent happen anymore?.Guys at my old mans age including he himself refuse to talk to each other through their allegiance to local teams. Example my old man would have loved for the dee to have folded into oblivion during the admin period as in gone forever, so would lots of guys his age. I just dont get that kinda (rivalry) to heavy for me. Thats nothing to do with the internet mate. BTW exactly the same attitude from across the road in that generation.

    They have always been extra seething about us than vice versa as we eclipsed them, took the city top dog mantle and have kept it for decades bar the odd blip, what is really getting to them is after our meltdoon in 2015 and subsequent relegation they really got themselves excited and worked up about being the cities only premier team as they had not been that since the late 1950s

    They thought they'd have a chance to reverse this, be the top dogs, take advantage of us being doon, grow their fan base etc, all they got was three chronic seasons of them being dundee fc and getting beat most weeks, in front of poor home crowds, not being a good representation of the city as they look small time, while for the most part apart from a period under Laszlo, our support stayed the course despite the off field stuff and failing in play offs a couple times which they got to enjoy, they also got to narrowly beat us in the league cup while we were doon (although we had bettered them in group on pens prior)

    Then they fall to a pitiful relegation, so not only did they not take advantage of us being doon, they didn't make our time down feel worse by performing well in League or Cup, we'd have felt worse if they were riding high in our absence, instead seeing the scores every week or watching them ripped at home 7-0 on TV to the sheep in front of about 2k home fans just gave laughter and entertainment

    They didn't even get a decent cup run of any note, no visits to Hampden

    Fast forward and they are doon with us, seeing us on the way back having got our shyt together, the vibrancy and unity back at United, a re*****ised support with stability building, well ahead of them, already got the better of the head to head for the session with a derby to spare, crowds up to a level they couldn't get in the top flight and them being bang average on a a big budget with less pts at this stage than we have had at any point since we come down

    It's very much eating at them and they still have all the other ongoing fun runs that wind then up, 1910 never again, 46 years ywfa, no final for 16 years, no win at Tannadice since 2004 etc.

    Shedka’s got it on the money there. The daftie Funsters were ‘celebrating’ like, well, Funsters back in May when we failed to get up which was simply a deeflect from their own pitiful relegation. Did any of them stop to think that actually it was going to make their own subsequent promotion bid exponentially harder?


    Nope. Thought not.

    For me, last season they were more interested in how we were performing than they were. They were getting cuffed every week with Agent Mac at the helm yet were more hopeful of us not gaining promotion
