However, Rangers died. So apart from Hibs, my point still stands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either Dundee Harp or Dundee Hibernian would be a nod to historic football teams from the city or, if they wanted something that was more representative of their recent history, Dundee InAdministration would be apt.

Doesn’t make sense as a name anyway, considering they weren’t formed as a combination of clubs and had another major club already there. Imagine Cove rebranding to Aberdeen United . Don’t let that get in the way of a good troll though. Makes perfect sense if you know the history. They changed the name as although they were called Dundee Hibernian, they were not a catholic club or just for the Irish Immigrants, but they wanted a name to show this and remove the misunderstanding the original name gave. First choice Dundee City was objected to by Dundee so United was chosen. United perfectly shows the clubs aims. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Nick McPheat" (?!!) forgot to add a bit about the coverage, too. I'd suggest something like this: BBC Coverage In keeping with the tinpot chaos of Scottish football, our coverage is both tinpot and chaotic. Your nan could do a better job on OOM than Chick, Biscuits and the rest of the old boys' club. When will we notice that Dundee United not Dundee are playing Aberdeen on Sunday? Stay tuned to find out! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically the old firm is serious business and the rest is just a quirky laugh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I like the fact that the clubs in Dundee play on the same street and have names similar enough to confuse utter bell-ends in the media. It's our job to despise them for it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingjoey Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 David Currie had a field day on last night’s Sportsound. Discussing the Aberdeen match, he said that Joe Lewis should have got a red card even though he clearly went for the ball, he insisted twice that Ryan Hedges was the player fouled for the Hacken red card until corrected by Richard Foster, in his interview with Stephen Glass he said that Calvin Ramsay was 18 (17 at time of interview) and then said that Ramsay could celebrate his birthday at the weekend (he got that right) by getting his SPFL debut, Glass corrected him on that one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted July 30, 2021 Author Share Posted July 30, 2021 BBC Scotland are that fucking outdated that they probably think they got away without anyone noticing because no-one sent them a fax message about it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Does this count? Source: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/53473161 To be fair, it's not the first, and certainly not the last, media outlet to get utterly confused as to what our stadium is called. I still occasionally hear (admittedly non-Scottish) commentators refer to it as Love Street. It not been at that location for nearly 20 years! For those who don't know, we changed the name of the stadium in November last year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
