Its "perhaps" better than winning a trophy

https://www.theguardian.com/football...nited-scotland

Even arch Funster peter has admitted that was embarrassing, reference the League Reconstruction thread.

[Steve Finan]

If you read through the full Patullo article, after he gets past the "better than a trophy" part (which will be a source of embarrassment to the more level-headed Dundee supporters who would rather not be portrayed as so small-minded) the article is almost a love letter to United. He ladles on the praise and gives an outsider's assessment of a very good team.
He certainly wouldn't be the first journo who submitted an article to his publication, and then was unimpressed by the efforts of a sub-editor desperate fo find an attention-grabbing headline.
If anything, Patullo gives great respect to United, albeit in a grudging fashion of a rival. It is an examination of what it is like to be a fan of a club whose neighbour is more successful, like Everton fans, or Manchester City (before the oil money) fans.
On other subjects, and other football teams, Patullo is a good writer.
And I am a huge fan of Nutmeg magazine. It portrays Scottish football in a grown-up and thoughtful manner, beyond the stuck-in-the-past way that Off The Ball (for instance) carries on with its childish soundalike daftness (let's hear your ideas for a potato-themed XI harharhar!) it has been doing since the early 1990s. Football supporters have moved on from that.
In my opinion.

I stand corrected, although I did choose to spare their blushes by not including Gretna, Queen of South

Minter club oh and btw can we move on from ye old 'your Grandads team' comments, surely with Dundee's ****age pregnancy rate it should the great grandparents,
In the meantime funsters please continue with your quest to keep trophies and cabinet social distancing

So given that peter, I take it you are one of the level headed who would rather not be embarrassed nor portrayed as small minded over the ‘Doon’ Derby? Well done Sir!

You know my feelings on the Doon Derby and more pleasingly I know yours...fob it off anyway you like but I know and you know the majority of your mob were scared to turn up in your Team's hour of need cause you knew we were putting you down and you couldn't bare it... I'll never be embarrassed winning a Derby and yeah pretty level headed I think!

I turned up for that game. After the season we had had, if it wasn't mathematically certain that week, then it would have been the next. However in a way I am glad you Dees finally in my lifetime had something to crow about.

I never could understand why young people had attached themselves to the Dee but their reward came when they went along and their team put a nail in our already built coffin.

Petty you didn't consolidate yourself in the Premiership in our absence. My prediction is if you don't go bust that you will spend another 50 years in our shadow.

Perhaps a rich American will come along and transform you- build a new stadium and everything. I don't think that has already happened has it?

[JamesMcClean]

.. I'll never be embarrassed winning a Derby!

You obviously were with that one, you even said so yourself as you well know! Is this another example of Dee revisionism in action?

Anyway, off ye pop and reminisce over the pictures of thon night in London for a legend keeper who helped put you in admin. For that, he’s a legend alright, a legend at Tannadice.

With that way of thinking we should all support Celtic and be done with it🤔🤔🤔🤔

Morning Peter.
