And here's me thinking they were World Famous not World Infamous. And the have the f'in cheek to call us the fun!
But but Barcelona in the 80s
But we thrashed the pre tournament favourites for the 1962/63 European Cup, Cologne who had a fair proportion of the German national side in their ranks. Followed by the seeing off of Anderlecht and Sporting. Never then or since have I heard a Dundee fan call us world famous. Then our lot are not near as deluded as the average DAB fan.
Dabs
Dressy uppy ****wits of Scottish football.
Currently ****ing about with Morton, ICT and Arbroath.
And 13 million in debt.
God bless them ♥️
I suggest that you read the history books where you see that the winter of 1962-63 was the second worst winter of the 20th century after the winter of 1947.
Football matches were postponed for weeks which coupled with their European matches caused a backlog of fixtures which were played towards the end of the season.
I suggest that your team the Dabs concentrates on Cup football this season.
Oh dear you can’t because you were defeated by League 1 teams Falkirk and QOS in the respective diddy cup and Scottish Cup.
No but we had the small matter of the quarter and semi finals of the European Cup to shoehorn into a ridiculously full schedule playing three times a week. I think the point the poster who brought it up was making was that that side was lauded by the media at the time e.g. the respected writer, broadcaster and football historian Bob Crampsey who described the Dundee team of their title winning season and their European exploits the following season as the finest side he witnessed in Scottish football. Despite this fulsome praise and the excitement and good feeling the support had for their team at the time they never resorted to the hyperbole that afflicted the United support with their world famous nonsense.I
However back to the OP and Dundee United and by association their support being synonyms for Idiots/Idiotic. Folk might wonder where it all came from then along comes a DAB (substitute daft for dirty if you want) like Arabesque to prove the rule.
