Ivan are your CBs up to much

Bouhenna looks terrific

Keep your hands off him

Good signs for getting Dundee Utd back up. the league is suffering without the tangerine pound

I had you to lose 0-5 on the predictor, so fck you!

I don't really follow lower league football, but interest in the Scottish Premiership has soared since Dundee Utd were relegated. You just have to look at the average attendance stats for the league:

17-18: 15,896 - Without Dundee Utd
16-17: 13,998 - Without Dundee Utd
15-16: 9,584 - With Dundee Utd
14-15: 8,666 - With Dundee Utd
13-14: 10,010 - With Dundee Utd
12-13: 10,060 - With Dundee Utd


There are two ways to look at this. Either Dundee Utd just had really poor attendances, bringing the average down for the league. OR no one was interested in a league that contained Dundee Utd. I think it was a combination of both really.

The stats are pretty damning for Dundee Utd as a club, and really show that the Championship is where they belong.

This is an important analysis and doesn't overlook any other mitigating factors whatsoever.

What you have overlooked though is that, in the last five years of the Championship, the average attendance has fallen in the years that United have been in that league too. What does that tell us?

You should be in League 1?

How about a play off between the Dundee clubs? That would be something.

However I would prefer both to be in the top league..

I would not bet against that happening this season.

I think I'd look forward to it more now than I have at any point in the last couple of years.

It might even help teach the Bears on here what the real meaning of karma is.

Got your scoreline correct in the predictor mate.

Slightly ironic considering my predictions with you made me change my name to Nacho Novo.

The Scottish Premiership needs Ayr. It has been suffering without Ayr.

I keep getting the margins right but not the correct score

Massive game next weekend up in Dingwall. If we win we get to within a point of the team I reckon are favourites for the league.

Ayr have been terrific though. It'll be interesting to see if they maintain this.

There's also an update to your favourite rumour, Ivan.

The work rate of the front two is absolutely incredible. McMullan looks like a different player - I think he’s one of these guys who needs to feel wanted, who cares if that should be important or not, the best managers know how to handle their players and Robbie seems to have a grip of how to get the best out of them. HUGE match on Saturday, an opportunity for a wee bit of revenge perhaps...! Fingers crossed.

I enjoyed the complicated pun.

border, totally agree on McMullan

I think he needs the arm around the shoulder rather than the stick. I think playing him centrally is better for him too as he's more involved in the game, and he can't disappear as he often does when he's playing wide. Hopefully he keeps it up because he could be an important player for us - he just needs to be a bit more aggressive in looking to score imo.

Do you or have you ever worked for Sky Sports by any chance?

Ayr and Dundee United coming up at St Mirren and Hamilton's expense would be pleasing.

2 more derbies in the top league.

NNH

The Dundee derby generally produces a good game of football too, unlike the Edinburgh derby. And I think Killie and Ayr properly needle each other too so that's always entertaining

Apparently the Highland derby was an entertaining match at the weekend, and yet another draw for ICT

u know i meant dundee united

but see for that, i hope u stay down.

thats right, i hope u get to the playoffs, have a wee ray of hope

then u get pumped

what u gna put in your suicide note?

I'm going to write "JFK loves Jack Hendry and Glen Loovens"

And that's it.

And whenever anyone remembers me - which they will, frequently, because people are always nice about dead people - they'll go "aww, remember how JFK loves Jack Hendry. And Loovens too".

That will be my legacy.

Which one is the good one, Dundee or Dundee Utd?
