Granny Danger Posted December 19, 2013 Author Share Posted December 19, 2013 Forfar, Kirriemuir and Brechin are surely north, rather than east of Dundee are they not? All have healthy pockets of United fans and the odd Dee. 1. Forfar is north and east of Dundee, but not East of Dobbies. 2. Brechin is north and east of Dundee, and East of Dobbies. 3. All Dees are odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetterlund Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Hmm. I'm not entirely sure what it says about a place that it defines its boundaries by garden centres.... or is it just the football fans that subscribe to this? It's a garden centre of great historical significance... or, it just happens to be sited on the last roundabout as you head Eastwards out of the city.

Gibby82 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 I was raised in the San Marie Favelas to the north west of Dundee. #westside #YMB #DD3 #FTD West of Dobbies certainly, unlike that snooty East Angus b*****d, Bigmouth Strikes Again.

One is not "raised" in St Marys. One simply survives it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, the council fairly ruined what used to be a picturesque and idyllic suburb on the periphery of the city. Halcyon days. Come to think of it, were you not a councillor for the area at one point, Dode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though the Boundary Commission in their infinite wisdom included the south half of St Fillans Road at one point. One half of one road from a clearly designated area, quite incredible.

His football crafted in touch and that puts the individual solutions, is a rare bird in a football, as is the Scottish, which still dominates the long pitch and balls to the pot. The icing on the cake puts RYAN Gauld, a tiny genius who at 18 has enthralled the largest in Europe with his left platinum and a huge change of pace to resemble crack with Barca.

I lived at the bottom of St Fillans. Vividly remember slide tackling into a massive dog shite at the grass square at that end. I blame you for that now.

Generation after generation of Ardleronians grow up jealous of their superior St Mary's brethren and that's before you got involved, god knows what state you left it in.

KeeperDee Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 I lived in Lochee on Grays Lane before moving to the wonderful West end, with a nice villa overlooking magdalen green. I finally moved to Invergowrie, a quaint village with many old people, and 1 Co-op. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not a coincidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
