A Dee memory is doon specs and a coffin carried oot the Bowser.

2 Scottish Cup wins,the league won at Dens,the league cup won at Dens,glory in Barcelona,Monaco,Moenchengladbach,Bremen,Eindhoven ,etc etc etc.

Memories of the auld hun stand ,as pre-mentioned by GB

The auld hun stand is second hand
Things just didnae go as planned
These days it's never in demand
Sad to see the auld hun stand.

The auld hun stand has witnessed bliss
Outside I trained my dog to piss
Tannoy playing Jeemy Shand
Festest fingirz in the land.


The auld hun stand has seen some glee
Two league cups ,then league made three
Best Scots team within the land
All witnessed by the auld hun stand.

Scenes that did make old men cry
Oor wee Jim held shoulder high
He nearly broke in to a smile
While all the Dees had ran a mile.

So, up to Campy they will go
In wind and rain,and even snow
To pastures new and pastures grand
To leave behind the auld hun stand.

One day it will be torn apart
But hold a place in Arab hearts
Those memories can't be erased
Beginning of the glory days.


(no the best poem GB , but hope yi like it)

And the other two questions?

[shedka]

Apparently the 17th anniversary of you losing your only Scottish Cup final of the last 60 years against a Rangers side still hungover from a week of celebrating a helicopter sunday

Were you in one of the sparse sections that were embarrassing to see on the TV coverage? do you think thats when the sleeping giant myth that funsters peddled died? 40 years without a big cup final so everyone would have attended that could, and you couldn't sell out... I think yes.

[A. J]

Watch yersel GB he'll say yer dragging up the past, let's try our best to think of more recent events, I can only think of a few though +cough+
The premature celebrations
Mind the gap banner
6-2 again
Shanks celebration at Dens
The 'fecking up their vote'
Us being telt to dance
Managing to feck up the one vote twice
Nelms being bent over and learning the hard way
Dundee accepting their place

It is a FACT that i witnessed 6 Scottish Cup final defeats before i saw the big one lifted twice but there is one thing that always seems to be forgotten especially by Funsters,look at all the victories(some of them against the Dees)that i witnessed.

In the honours list your club is only remembered by the silver they kissed but i have watched United win hundred's and hundered's of cup games through the years all over europe and domestically.

Quarter finals and semi finals by the FN bucket load that the Funsters can only dream about,personally my favourite remains that day at Tynecastle when it was a double whammy.

I witnessed the best halftime celebration ever followed by a massive puss trip by the same supporters at fulltime.This of course paid for my trip to Germany to witness further glory in the Bokelbergstadion in Moenchengladbach.

Its not all about the number of trophies in your team's cabinet in my opinion its all about the glory on the journey,i have had a million miles of it with United whereas a Funster of a similar age has not left his street yet,FACT with a WASC thrown in.

Yeh but they had a cracking jolly to Crystal Palace a few year back GB. Surely that’s the big one?
