Howdy folks.

 

New to the forum.

From North of the border, but been in Derby over a decade.

Been to matches on and off over the years.

 

Got a season ticket this year, so I can take my daughter to matches.

 

Presuming you're from Dundee, and not an actual arab?

 

Welcome.

Yup, hence the Arab part, being a Dundee United supporter.

Being from the east side of Scotland, it's "yirsel" not "ya sen" (West Coast) :D

 

People often ask what's the difference, other than the acent.

I always reply "East coast is more cultured, we take our bottles of Buckie out the brown paper bag before drinking it" :)

Welcome. Looking forward to :

1. The thoughts and works of William Topaz McGonagall

2. Nostalgia of the day that United stuffed Barca (I was there, along with Messrs Lineker and Hughes, who were less happy)

3. A Rams shirt on Desperate Dan :)

Was that when we beat them at Tannadice or when we beat them at the Nou Camp?

 

I remember being in the shed end when Kevin Gallagher's shot/cross sailed in the top corner.

Was still at school at the time.

Random fact then :-

 

I was once asked to be part of a line up by the local constabulary.

When I turned up, found out it was for murder.

 

Brought the guy in and his solicitor was allowed to place him anywhere in the line.

Normally next to the people they look most like.

 

Was quite funny, because he was put next to me.

Looked nothing like me other than same height.

 

Was happy enough to openly admit to stabbing the guy though.

Tannadice, went down after work and was up the other end. Quite a team around then. And looks a good young crop coming through now.

Certainly a great time to be an Arab and a Ram.

 

Dundee United have one of the best youth academies in Scotland.

They have invested a lot of money in their youth system.

 

Quite a batch of young players starting to come through.

These are the first ones from the start of the 5 year project.

 

More to come.

 

Perhaps Derby should look to Dundee United for some more players.

 

Roberston, Armstrong, Gauld, Souttar, Mackay-Steven all excellent players and all young.
