St Boo v Dundee Tesco

2qk3q5i.jpg
 
One of the biggest collection of gloating pricks at our misfortunes. It wasn’t just that they couldn’t beat St Boo in two legs, it was the delicious manner of their final collapse back into the Championship.
Big club whose rightful place is in the Premier League, my arse.

St Boo can drop next season.
 
This has made an amazing weekend even sweeter.

Thank you, Dundee Tesco.

Your fans are shit. Your team is shit. Your stadium is a complete embarrassment. Do the decent thing and bulldoze it for a supermarket. There’s a bigger and better club next door to you already.

Enjoy continuing to rot away in the Championship for another year.

You utter, utter losers.

Sorry but if you think I'm going to be jumping on with glee into this thread to savagely mock a poor guy for greeting as his team fail yet again to get promoted, putting his club at further risk of disappearing into the Scottish football abyss, after missing FOUR penalties in a shootout leaving their fanbase broken hearted then you'd be absolutely right.

Get it so, SO far round yous hahahaha. Get it up Dundee United and all who sail in her.

You manky midden of filth hahaha.

Oh it's not been the best season but that does put a smile on my face.
 
Not to put a dampener on it, but what exactly did St Mirren "win", that they're prancing about with special flags? A proper perspective would have seen them vacate the field after a brief acknowledgement to their fans in escaping relegation by the skin of their teeth. They MUST try harder next season.
 
What had lifted Thompson’s spirits, though, was a chance meeting with one ticket-buyer whose decision to spend £265 was all the more remarkable because he will never see the team play.

He revealed: “The guy told me was in the city on a visit from Australia. He agreed with the decision we had taken as a club and decided to buy a season ticket he would donate to a fan before going back Down Under.

“Then I turned on my computer and there were messages from fans of all sorts of clubs saying well done for coming out and making United’s stand a matter of public record.

“On my way out of the ground to go for a quiet coffee I also met a fan who said he wasn’t going to buy a season ticket if we had approved a newco but was now getting four.

“The past few months have been stressful on a personal basis.

“I like to think I’m thick-skinned but you have to be concerned whether the fans will back the board after we’ve made our decision on the game’s biggest issue.

“It’s a big risk and you don’t take these matters lightly.

“There’s a feeling that you want to do what’s right and a realisation that doing the right thing brings with it a huge financial pressure.

“It was a massive decision for us to take and a tough one as well.

“But if we can sell an extra 1000 season tickets that will compensate us for the loss of SPL fixtures against Rangers next season.

“Without them? No club.”

Thompson has to involve his club’s supporters in everything he says because he needs them to understand the power they wield beyond being the driving force behind a “no to newco” vote.

He added: “If a club fails to listen to its customers then it dies, it’s as simple as that. Without our fans’ full backing Dundee United dies in five or six years.

“We stuck our heads above the parapet when we went public and some other clubs might have to be put under pressure before they will do the same.

“There’s a feeling of anxiety about Sky TV and whether they’ll walk if Rangers aren’t in the SPL next season.

“The new, five-year deal we have with them isn’t signed yet but I’m also looking at the knock-on effects of taking a stance on the newco vote. I spoke to people at Hearts and they’ve noticed an immediate uplift in ticket sales after Vladimir Romanov’s statement that he couldn’t back Rangers’ right to stay in the SPL.

“I’m even looking ahead to the day when we might be thinking in terms of an SPL channel, owned by the supporters and clubs.”

In the meantime, Thompson has the satisfaction of knowing he has listened to the supporters and played fair.

He said: “We simply couldn’t raise season-ticket prices.

“Our ticket is only a couple of pounds more expensive than Dundee’s – and we’re offering the guarantee of SPL football.

“A rise will have to come one day because clubs are having to deal with increases in everything, from electricity to pies, but now is not that time.

“All of these things were buzzing round my head when I went home on Thursday night. Then my mobile had to deal with so many calls that it ran out of power about the same time as I did.

“I sat up until one o’clock and my small son woke up at six o’clock. You have to think about your family at a time like this because you want to protect them.

“But the bottom line is the long-term good of the game and what’s best for your club. And if you had a public vote among every supporter in the country, excluding the Rangers fans, 90 per cent of them would be in favour of United’s decision.”

Good call Mr Thompson, you managed it as well as the Titanic.
