1) Duncan Ferguson scored v Rangers last season at Ibrox after
(W)Ally McCoist had scored a suspiciously offside goal.
2) I take it Miko and Trebor Steven have applied for scottish citizenship then?
   and besides they had already been signed by Souness, not Smith.
3) I was talking about the home end. Giving the away fans our oldest and
   best stand is a complete cock-up. Let them stand out in the pouring rain
   !
4) And lets have a look at ticket allocation :
   Aberdeen (2000)
   Celtic (5000)
   Leeds (0)
   Difficult to lose when the majority of the crowd is Rangers fans!!!!

5) He is only scottish because his dad played for some naff team called
   Hibs. Try your luck and get a proper goalie. Goram couldn't lace Alan
   Mains' boots!. In fact, he couldn't carry Van De Kamp(reserve keeper)
   gloves onto the field. Everytime he plays for Scotland its' worse than
   the Jim Leighton show.

6) If we could get all the Rangers and Celtic rejects out of the Scotland
   team, we could assemble a side that would play for its' country rather
   than its' pay packet.

7) Smith learnt all he knows from the master man at Tannadice, Dodds
   only learnt what he knew from Willie Pettigrew. McLean is the best
   manager in Britain.

8) Billy Kirkwood, Davie Dodds, Archie Knox and Walter Smith
   would have known absolutly nowt about the game if it wasn't
   for Jerry Kerr and Jim McLean, so a bit of respect please.

9) Gers fans when they come to Tannadice find it amusing to find
   the nearest ball boy and start a spitting  competition to see
   who could gob the farthest.

10) Pissing in Peoples gardens and in front of children is exactly
    the sort of behaviour which makes people flee Dundee when your
    lot are expected in town.

If you digest this little lot and are still laughing then please
write down all your comments on the back of a postage stamp and
sign your name(isn't that an X?) and I'll be so glad to rip it to
shreds.
