Who dropped the axe on the megabusfantastico?

Personally I feel there is an opportunity to show compassion whenever a Dee posts over here. They are kind of attention seeking. An under-privileged background often produces this. Most of these kids will be under 50 and have not sucked at the teat of success in their football supporting formative years, nor beyond. As any medical practitioner will tell you, breast feeding is best for a child. It helps much better with their physical and mental development. We, as fellow Sheds, must be grateful for our football upbringing. Compared to the Dees' offspring, we have had regular feeds from the mammary glands.

An assumption on your part of course.

That particular comment I had the Dees support in general in mind. For the over 50s a good number will be in their dotage and experiencing accompanying mental frailties, perhaps even being confused over which Dundee Club has been the most successful.

Another thing to consider is that those of an older disposition are more likely to be at a game in Dundee every week having no affiliation to a particular club. I even know one elder statesman that is blue through and through, but not so long ago, had a season ticket for Tannadice, vowing never to step inside Dens again.

This is very true, but I think was more common in the past than in recent times. It is a position I have a lot of respect for and can even identify with it to some degree. I don't hail from the City of Discovery so have not been influenced with the same degree of tribal rivalry, which many supporters of the two Clubs display. I do have a great love for the City of Dundee and often feel the success of both Clubs has been a continuation (first Dundee and then United), rather than a separation. I am perhaps more amenable to 'amalgamation' than most other supporters, but I do appreciate the risk of a lifelong ban I am taking by resorting to such foul and disgraceful language!

[TerryTheTerror]

Amalgamation would achieve nothing aside from alienating lifelong fans. Pointless.

Thanks Trebs. I'll consider that to mean I have been leniently warned rather than outright banned?

[TerryTheTerror]

I wouldn't ban for for talking ****e, I'd probably be the first off.

It is surprisingly very common now. I have heard more than once very recently the question of "where are we next week, here or over the road?" Granted that is in the George Fox and may be an indicator as to why very little noise emanates from there, but i do wonder where the crowd argument would go if a number could be put on those that love football rather than a particular team!

I usually park my ass in the GF Upper (I no longer have a season ticket). Perhaps it is my ageing ears, but there are some in my immediate environs whose roars are far too high for my sensitive aural receptors on match days. Mind you it has been largely negative tirades these past few seasons. Although my allegiances very much lie with the Shed, I reckon I am more in the 'love football' camp than in 'rivalry.'
