mizfit Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 It’s not a Derby, but with it being the nearest professional clubs to us for 100 years there is a little bit more bite to the fixture than a regular. I only call it a Derby because it gets a reaction from the fuds in both United and Dundee’s supports that can’t grasp they’re being wound up deliberately. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Saintee Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Oh ya fucker! Love a derby! Always the first fixtures I check for. And this will be an extra spicy one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Feel like our games against Hamilton have more spice in the 'not a Derby but a bit of GIUY element'. Do enjoy a game against St Johnstone though. Much better than shite like Kilmarnock or St Mirren. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of teams I particularly enjoy getting roond roughly goes United, the Old Firm, Hearts, Inverness, Hamilton and then St Johnstone, just slightly ahead of Morton.

Boo Khaki Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Rangers, Airdrie, then everything else is just three points and much of a muchness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloPerth Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 This is probably the biggest Tayside derby in years, possibly going back as far as our third placed clincher in the late 90’s when Dundee needed the win for top six and we needed it for a European place. Think that was the last time they brought a decent support through to Perth as well. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamamafegan Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Saints games vs either of the Dundee sides are known as a Tayside Derby. End of discussion. There’s even a Wikipedia page about it. How Dundee fans feel about the game is irrelevant - just like their slug of a football club. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mizfit Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Anyway, I’m surprised more Dees aren’t embracing their original Derby. Dundee United weren’t formed until 20 years after this derby originally took place and are the newcomers. Plus their support hails from Angus, so there Derby is more in line with Forfar and Brechin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Alli Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Only thing more sparse than tickets for this derby will be parking spaces due to the 2,000 Saintees travelling through in their John Deere's. #SayNoToMEAD. #RoddyGrantsAnAlkyDobber. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PauloPerth Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 It seems crazy that this game isn’t being shown live on tv. Doesn’t bother me much as I’ll be there anyway, but the SPFL even set the fixtures up so this one had the maximum significance. Derby or not, there will be an edge to it, decent crowd and it has everything at stake. Would have thought there would be a lot of neutrals would have tuned in just for the watching a car crash type appeal. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottyDee1893 Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Dees v Dons the original derby and continues to be so. Fermers and DABs irrelevant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
