Just wasted some time watching this.

An absolute minter that Dundee Utd are actually paying someone to make this shite.

Including a tweet that says 'not universally liked by Falkirk fans'.

WTF.

Are they taking the piss now or what?

bowers · 20/7/2018 3:23 pm

Would appear so TEK.

Fucking clueless

arabchanter · 20/7/2018 3:39 pm

That is fuckin' awful. does this stuff not get seen by the board, surely they would cringe if they seen some of the stuff they knock out.

Also I don't know if it's the same culprits, but who thought putting Mickey Mouse in front of a black wall with two United badges on it, would lend this graphic and DUFCSLG group any sort of gravitas?

RRDH · 20/7/2018 4:16 pm

Im actually sitting here gobsmacked at that. Are they having a little pop at the fans with that tweet up there about slating players?

I know a little about Paul Watson. Really good "stopper", unbelievably slow. Might be a decent signing when its all said and done.

As for the video... un fucking believable

Finn Seemann · 20/7/2018 4:24 pm

Astounding. Have they employed a Dee in the PR department. 'Cringe' doesn't even begin to describe just how toe-curlingly bad that is.

I feel sorry for the lad as his new club are effectively taking the piss out of him 5 minutes after him signing. Looks like there is another name to add to the 'show them the door' list...

What was the thinking behind this?

'...the boy doesnay come with a great reputation and he's been punted by an ex-Dee reject, how do we make the fans think this is a good bit of business?'

'...Eh ken. How about a teaser video with a parody fake download problum, cut tae fake excitement of press leak and then to the 'fishul announcement. Blast them with meejah seh'ins and they'll just fa'over thirsels to welcome him tae the club...'

'...nah that would be shite...Feck it eh've got hospitality at Carsnoutie the mornin, just go wi that. Naebody can get connected to Arabzone anywy...'

Do the media team not read the responses they get? That video is woeful.

Tek · 20/7/2018 4:29 pm

If i was Mike Martin i would scrap Arabzone (even the name seems tainted now with amateurism).

Get new folk in who are more professional and start up a new service called Dundee United T.V. or something similiar.

A totally fresh approach to our media/communications department is required.

Even people from other clubs are laughing at that video.

We are a laughing stock.

Certainly seems like it with this.

Seems some at Utd have taken criticism so much to heart that they now hate our fans (or sections of it).

Fans who pay their wages.

Agree with this.

Let the students at the university do it to help them. Im sure it was stmirren who do this?

WTF??? bombscare of a video then slagging fans off and posting falkirk fans didnt rate him.

Oh my hooring sides

Billy_Hainey · 20/7/2018 7:01 pm

Even no withstanding all the nonsense, is any point to it in the 1st place?

UniDundee · 20/7/2018 7:03 pm

Did the 'root and branch review' include the media department?

More words from Martin.

TheShed · 20/7/2018 7:07 pm

#theunitedway

It’s all the fans fault.

arabchanter · 20/7/2018 7:23 pm

Wont be the last time it makes an appearance. Laughing stock.

Mass Debates · 20/7/2018 9:18 pm

I just don’t get how in any scenario where they would see this as a good idea.

Absolute amateur stuff, these guys are the linchpin between club and fans and club and media outlets.

Someone needs their jotters as this is a PR disaster. 🤡

If this is the " United way" Mr Martin then we are fucked.

simple as this the lads 27 years old and I am sure he's aware that he needs to step up in what will be probably his last shot at s decent sized club. he's been binned from Falkirk and I am sure he would have expected that people will be scratching their heads asking why?
