🗣 "It was a clinical second-half display. I was always going to square it so it was good karma I had a chance after! We're rolling our sleeves up for the final eight games."
🍿 On the whistle with Alex Greive after netting his first goal for #DUFC
Thoughts after the game from Alex. He grabbed an assist for their 3rd goal too.
Great to see him come back in to some semblance of form of late as well. Will hopefully keep up the good work as the season moves towards its end, and given he's out of contract with St Mirren at seasons end.
Big game. Dundee United (1st, 59 pts) host Raith Rovers (2nd, 58 pts, game in hand). Only 1 team is automatically promoted & the last time the 2 promotion rivals meet this season
2-0 win for Dundee U, to go 4 pts clear. Raith Rovers with a game in hand. Greive with token 90th min sub appearance. None of the Kiwis in Scotland doing much.
I guess this must have been mentioned, but this is both odd and hilarious: Apparently and somewhat disappointingly related to a tour in the 1970s where they lost to a bunch of amateur teams.
QI, great show. The episode with the story, about how it wasn't until about the 3rd attempt that Darwin or someone managed to get a rare turtle successfully shipped to the UK from Sth America or somewhere - a favourite. With previous attempts the protein deprived British sailors, had found the turtles too delicious not to eat enroute!
The JourneyFanis a DU supporter. He can probably shed light on 'Dundee United' being Nigerian slang for group of idiots yarn.
No Greive as Dundee U win 4-1. As above sounds like Greive went off injured in the last game.
Dundee United (1st) looking a good bet now for that automatic promotion spot. 7 pts clear of Raith Rovers (2nd) with 3 games left. Though Raith have a game in hand (play tonight)
Greive yes I think so. He’ll likely be a bench player in SPL with either DU or St Mirren. He comes off contract with SM soon, and doubt they will re-sign him
Elliot you suspect is Auckland bound
McGarry still contracted 2 more years at the Dons, and it’s rumoured Auckland have signed Francis de Vries at LB

In the 60s or 70s United sent a team to Nigeria for an end of season tour. Story was that the United team treated it like a lads away trip. Anyway they played a couple of games and got hammered and the Nigerians basically started using Dundee United as an insult or to describe when something was awful - like "man that was so bad it was Dundee United" or something like that Aberdeen fans always seem to tell us that story....
