K.T Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Thought that relegating United and being in the league above after all those years in the shadows would make the Dees the "big team" in this rivalry. Unfortunate to see the inferiority complex is still as vast as ever. Sad! I find it very unique that EEP is built next to a cemetery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poet of the Macabre Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Oh dear. Think I may have struck a nerve. If it makes you feel better, I'm trying to help you move on. You've left United in your shadow, it's time to stop obsessing over them and blaze your own trail, man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stumigoo Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I'd much rather this game be played further into the season. Think both sides have been guilty of playing some poor football so far during the early stages of this cup but both teams have also scored a few goals. Sounds like I am getting my excuses in early but the game on Sunday won't really be a measuring stick as to how the season might pan out. A few injuries on either side with some players still lacking in match fitness. I can't see us winning this but I can see it being a pretty dull game with a penalty shootout at the end of it all. Chances are McDonald probably won't start the game and I expect a team pretty much the same as the one that started against Cowdenbeath but with Scobbie at left back for Robson - Lewis Toshney Durnan Edge Scobbie King Stanton Fraser Briels McMullan Smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 This should be a decent test for us and will hopefully give an indication of what our players can offer. The three teams we have played so far have been poor and so no way of really assessing the likes of King, McMullan and Scobbie who have all looked good against lower league opposition. Its a shame that Keatings is out, but it is what it is, and if McDonald is not fit to start we will have little to offer up front. Hopefully the three playing behind the striker and maybe Stanton can step up. Looking forward to a derby match as always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly, something is either unique or not - it can't be very unique, or more or less unique that anything else. Secondly, there are loads of grounds built next to cemeteries in Scotland (Parkhead and Pittodrie being two obvious examples) as land was relatively cheap in those areas when they were built. Happy to help. Looking forward to the game though. Will be interesting to see if United look like living up to the hype with their relatively expensively assembled squad, and to to see how McCann has changed things for Dundee. Hopefully it'll be a decent watch, and that el Bahktoui has a decent game if selected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This gives another take on the old newspaper term for births, deaths and marriages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
