On this marvellous day....

[GUNBOAT]

I will always remember the Semi v Aberdeen and Welshies late equaliser that's when i thought we are gonna FN do this.On the way back to the bus a load of Sheep Sh aggers were on the other side of the road from us and i shouted over to them,"That's the FN hoodoo oot the windie boys and dinnie even FN bather we the replay."

Honestly you just knew it was gonna happen,FACT.

The day of the final was one of trepidation,even though i thought we would win and had backed us to do it there were still nagging doubts.Hardly surprising really considering we had already lost 6 finals in the same competition.

I walked into the Marquee early Saturday morning and the place was packed to the rafters,everyone seemed to be underneath the biggest United flag i had ever seen in my life.

The Arabs were belting out,"There's only one Craigie Brewster." Any early morning worries i had dissipated soon after and so began the best day of my lifelong following of the Terrors of Tannadice.

Messages left on my answering machine,
whilst following the boys in Tangerine,
Funsters laughing because we got beat,
glorying in another cup final defeat.

Them days were ended on May 21,
when Brewster scored against the HUN,

and i got nae phone calls fae the Dees.

Ballumbie - our most recent Cup victory was in full 1080p HD. Their last one barely made it beyond a Pathe Newsreel.

James,can you remember your list of shamed companies early in the pandemic?.I request that Prudential be removed as some Scottish lassie has just called the Bedsit offering me £150.00 in compensation because of their earlier phuck ups.

Not a problem. Consider it done. By my reckoning, Paul McGowan remains top of the Covid Cvnts Table. Just, well, because.
