Won't happen of course, and even if it does its too little too late as far as I'm concerned.

I'm close, I really am. If it was anyone else we were playing next I honestly wouldn't give a fuck.

Same as v St Mirren, but Ferry in for Faruggia.

They're on a run of 8 points from 12, but its also 8 from 15, the same as us.

And we've had a much more punishing schedule.

I think some are reading more than there is into their Well result, only goals matter, but they were battered and scored with their only 2 efforts on target 

If we hadn't decided to stop doing what we'd managed no bother all game v Kilmarnock, until the last 10 mins, I doubt many would be panicking.

 
I don't know that many people are panicking exactly, but a lot are just absolutely fed up with the fare on offer. Disillusioned, disgruntled, disappointed but probably not panic stricken. Well not yet at least

Just seen a lot of dread, fear, quaking posts re the game.

Maybe social media is just folk over-exaggerating for effect, but the season is burst, there's no consequences left, we won't be relegated or face a play off.

Of course I want us to win, I'll be annoyed if we lose, but if we finish above them or vice versa i won't be celebrating that as an achievement, or giving them credit for finishing above us given what we've served up. 

As you say we're all fed up, its all a bit pish at the moment.

I'd be happy to toss a coin on our remaining games and be done with it all.

For me the dread in this game isn't that i think Dundee are necessarily better than United (though they may well be), it's more that Dundee have beaten us in 3 of the past 4 Derbies under both Tony Docherty and Steven Pressley, and in those games looked so much more up for it from the first whistle than we did (particularly the Tannadice games).

The same can't happen again on Sunday or the anger amongst our support will be entirely justified.

Losing is one thing, we can all accept that in isolation even in Derbies. Not being 'up for it' though is something that angers every single supporter.

100% has to be the team

I mind reading a Dundee fan’s post a while back saying he’s never seen them really hammer us (like 6-2 for example). I have a fear that this may well be the time it happens. They play with two wingers on the front foot and will destroy that back three if Goodwin doesn’t change it.

Please don’t glorify finishing above Dundee as some sort of success. It’s tinpot as fuck. The club would also use it as a season ticket sales pitch.

This bragging rights when you’re both in the bottom 6 means nothing. Imagine slagging your Dundee supporting work colleague for United finishing 7th and they finish 8th. Embarrassing.

 
Bragging rights, no definitely not.
Finishing above your rivals definitely yes because their fans get cocky at the slightest hint of success and they see finishing above us as Trophy level success.

I dont think anyone has said that in this thread at all tbh, they've talked about beating them in the derby but no mention of who's finishing where as far as I can see.

 
No mate they’ve not but at work yesterday there was a couple of lads who were mentioning it so just had me thinking when i was reading this thread.

Ah right got you. I totally agree btw, this season has been a failure. Especially when you see the semi final line-up and St Mirren with a trophy in the cabinet already. Massive under achievement this season.

Never been so underwhelmed as i am right now the night before a derby. No nerves or anything, just the expectation of 3-4-3 and the inevitable defeat that follows.

Hope i am wrong but just can’t see it.

 
Right there with you brother

We'll be out with the dog all afternoon instead
