I quite like Dundee and for obvious reasons. Still remember exactly where I was standing in the East Terrace when the crowd went mental. Stevie Cowan if my memory serves had just got booted and was picking himself up when the place went nuts. His expression was priceless - thought at first we were all cheering him! Loved going to school the next day as I was in a Jambo stronghold but we had some pretty hard boys who were Hibs lads. Made for some interesting viewing!

Think the "we hate Dundee" line in the song was chosen 'cos it fits, that's all. I wonder if Dundee FC will ever recover and return to the SPL?

I seem to remember going to Dundee numerous times and being called a "fenian bastard" more than anywhere else. They seemed to be really into bigotry. Maybe it's because they couldnae play.

It wis nae the case that they were bigoted it was more of a wind up that the hibs fans re-acted to. they would also call the Huns and jambos orange bastards,they would attack both sides off whatever fence they felt a club was attached too,be that wrong or right,,just a way to get at opposition supporters,anybody who plays the song bonnie dundee has no affiliation to any of that central scotland crap.

I also remember going to dundee and other place's and there was allways some idiot hibs supporter with a tri-colour,so what are they going to call us? Also you could get someone with a harp flag that could either be affiliated to a guiness supporter or someone saying he had some irish affiliation.
