Unbelievable Jeff
Dud you know that as of 19/20 standings, all 12 teams who played in Scots Premier and the other 4 who finished in top 5 in championship have appeared in a Scottish or league Cup final more recently than our embarrassing wee sister
Sounds great but it isn't true though is it? Unless Hamilton have had a season I can't remember...
Under Funster code The Accies have actually won something without actually winning anything.I give you their celebrations when they stayed up after the play off final v Dundee United.
The greatest night in the majority of Funster life's was the Doon Derby,its a major honour in their eyes.The only thing that's missing is the trophy in the cabinet deep in the bowels of TheAuldHunStand.
Its "perhaps" better than winning a trophy

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
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.
