Luggy, what can you say, what a man, what a laddie .   So many memories and the Forfar testimonial, total crackup.    Great.
Keep em coming lads.
+ Talking about Finn Dossing - what a player he was.  Great poacher and never saw him miss a sitter once.

Todays episode is my favourite so far, superb listening to them!

Outstanding episode. So many great wee stories and insights into the current squad.

One thing Butcher discussed was about his first spell at the club...

- He was the one that suggested the move to Centre Mid - not Jackie. This was something I always thought Jackie had seen in him.

- He DIDNT want to leave. Again, I understood that he wanted to move back down south but apparently not.

So that summer, Jackie got rid of Keith Watson and Calum Butcher. He also let Fojut leave and signed Durnan and Donaldson as his replacements. He didn't sign an experienced keeper and he deemed Rodney Sneijder and Darko Bodul as suitable additions to the club.

MY WORD

He let Keith Watson go in the January window. Same week as Conor Townsend. So let go of both of our (perfectly adequate) full backs. So he could sign his pal Ryan McGowan.

Subsequently signed Paul Dixon too but that was more a knee jerk appeasement signing after we sold the family silver to Celtic on transfer deadline day.

As regards signing 'pals' another bad McNamara example was Mark Wilson's return to us.
That's all I'll say cos I respect Mark Wilson.

But what an old pals act and what a waste of ****ing money
 

Agreed SmedZ.

Wilson was totally finished when he played for us that 2nd time.

Knees were knackered. He could barely run.

That was one of the first alarm bells i had about Jackie tbh because he kept persisting with Wilson at RB even though his errors were costing us goals.

Im sure Keith went on loan to hibs in the Jan then his contract wasnt renewed in the summer? Either way, still horrific.

Well that is what happened. We are getting our wires crossed here.

I just meant he let him go from Utd (essentially) in the January as there was no way back for Watson after his loan to Hibs.

You meant he literally left Utd in the Summer as in no longer a Utd employee. Which is correct.
 

Danny Swanson on this week's Podcast with a terrifying exclusive...

He wanted to come back to United in the summer of 2018. Willo Flood is his agent so he contacted the club. Mike Martin was happy with it.

But Laszlo didnt want him.

And turned him down as he wanted to sign...

WOW

Edit to say: another brilliant podcast as always and well worth a listen!

Well worth a listen again today, big Welsh speaks my fuckin language.

I've heard a few of these 1st Interviews with managers and I know it all comes down to results but Mr Mellon sounds like the sort of man you would want to play for

Well done to the lads of tye dode fox podcast. Sure like many, I'm a long term listener now but just worked my way through episode 200.

Firstly, amazing they got jim mcinally on... he and mo were my big hero's as a kid. He had some amazing stories but more than anything else. I absolutely loved his willingness to tell the truth and give his opinion. Too often folk in the public eye are so scared to say anything remotely controversial.... this was so refreshing without him bad mouthing anybody. Think I love Jim more than I did before. I'd love to see him in a role at Tannadice whether it's the footballing side or somewhere behind the scenes.

Well done Paul and Ronnie for the best (by far) football podcast I listen to

Just voted.

Paul and Ronnie are brilliant. Passionate, articulate, funny, and they under estimate their football knowledge.

Done, as Snacks says it takes less than a minute.

The Jimmy Mac episode recently was fuckin outstanding.

Keep up the good work lads.
