Re: Wednesday's Fan Focus #20 - Trap_6

Ok, that's my on my second bottle of Punk IPA and about comfortable with this!

38 years old, other than a few years in Glasgow and St Andrews I've lived my whole life in Dundee.

Been an Arab since the age of five, was a mascot at 8. First game was Hamrun Spartans in the 1st Round of the European Cup, 3-0 win.

I'll no say any more in case it leaves no questions...

I didn't support anyone, apart from Scotland, until I started primary school. It was mostly Arabs in my class and I was happy to go with the flow!

Most of my family - dad, uncles, grandad were Dees - but thankfully none of them ever forced me to follow them. Hugely grateful for the fact they let me get into it of my own accord and support my own team. They'd even take me to Tannadice. I've always said I'll do the same with my young lad although that's bit me in the arse because he's recently claimed he's a Dee! He's only three though, plenty time for him to see sense.

It was a Dee uncle that took me to my first game.

The commercial department see the light and decide to have a radical departure on next seasons top.  Give me a top three of what your preference/theme would be whilst retaining tangerine and black obviously....

Ooft, straight in wi the tricky questions!

Such a hard one for me. My job is incredible. I get to taste some of the best beers in the world on a daily basis.

Best I've ever tasted is probably Mikkeller's Beer Geek Brunch Weasel. It's made using that coffee bean that's passed through the digestive system of a weasel. Hipster alert!

At over a tenner a bottle though, it's a rare treat.

How long before TEK asks you for what you think of the Chairman; or Jackie in or out?

Best would either be the 94 final or Nou Camp 87.

I'd been to so many finals in the 80s, I never thought it would happen. I was 17, the perfect age for something like that to happen to you. Full floods of tears at the final whistle. Nae boards wi injury time in those days, you just had to sweat it out until the ref decided to blow - AGONY!

I wasn't even at the Barcelona game - a bit young at 10. BUT, I watched it at my mate's house at the bottom of Rosefield Street (Iived at the top) and I'l never forget the feeling in my wee legs as I walked home that night. If ever I felt on top of the world, it was in that two minute spell. Magical!

Worst was probably relegation. To go from those glory days to that in less than ten years just didn't seem real. That said, the season in the 1st was one of the most enjoyable I had watching United.

I'm a traditionalist mate. Straight up tangerine with black shorts.

Although I do feel the colour has gone a bit wrong in recent times.

I loved the slightly deeper colour of the VG strip.

I'm expecting pelters for this, but Ciftci.

Honestly, that boy's got it. When he's in the mood, some of the things I saw him do with complete nonchalance left me with my mouth wide open. Just loved watching him.

Honourable mention to Siggi Jonsson. Just a lovely touch of class during a not too great period.

One of my biggest regrets is that I've never been abroad to see United.

Too young during the glory years, too much responsibility by the time it came back round. Still will get to one one day...

So in Scotland, I'd say the best is Tynecastle. Feels like your indoors, incredible noise created. The semi against Aberdeen in 2008 was one of the best atmospheres I've been in.

Went to see Scotland in Dortmund. That was something else. Imagine a fucking enormous Ibrox!

Too many to mention mate. The number of times I've sworn off the drink for life! Then 7pm comes around and it starts to wear off and I think, 'could maybe go a wee pint actually...'

Thankfully I'm all craft beer these days - nae bad hangovers with that stuff! It's all in the preservatives...

Re: Wednesday's Fan Focus #20 - Trap_6

Who's most to blame for where Utd seem to be at as a club at the moment...McNamara or Thompson?

Or both/neither?
