Hi, I live in Edinburgh and I am a massive Dundee FC (dark blues) fan but my English team always has been and always will be Man City. I've always followed the club through it's ups and downs. Hope to make a trip down to a couple of games this season money permitting. I'd give my right arm to come to the Man City v Real Madrid game as it's so close to my birthday but I'm thinking it could be slightly impossible to get my hands on a ticket :( Hopefully I can make a game anyway. Come on City!!!

I thought being a Dundee fan you'd hate a team supported by Arabs. Welcome.
Never criticise a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes.
That way when you do criticise him you'll be a mile away.
And you'll have his shoes.

Isn't Dundee (as a town at least) really pro-Palestine? I'm pretty sure it's twinned with somewhere in the West Bank?

Haha. Alex I don't mind Arab's at all. A team that call themselves "the Arab's" and play in tangerine however, is a completely different story.
BlueinBosnia I have never heard of Dundee being twinned anywhere. Not quite sure why Dundee would be twinned anywhere (one is quite enough). lol. I think 90% of Dundonians probably don't even know what Palestine is. That seems really random to me but I'd be interested to find out more about that.

Ah, just read it, and it makes sense now! Never heard that phrase for DUFC, though.

Dundee, according to Wikipedia, is twinned with:
Orléans, France (1946)
Zadar, Croatia (1959)
Würzburg, Germany (1962)
Alexandria, Virginia, United States (1974)
Nablus, Palestinian Authority (1980)
Dubai, United Arab Emirates

(although the last one may be a joke, but it is mentioned on Dubai's wiki page too...)

Less of the Scottish wearing dresses please. It's a skirt, not a dress. lol.
The reason behind Dundee United being nicknamed the Arab's is in the 80's they used to use sand on their pitch when it was water logged. They have always had problems with their pitch.

Yeah I just read about the twinned cities. Quite interesting to see the connection. I lived in Dundee for 20 years before moving to Edinburgh and I did not know about any of that. Bit worrying really. lol

It was supposed to promote a cultural exchange, economic co-operation and gain a better understanding of local issues at the global level following WW2, however today it's useless and used as an excuse for local government officials to get free flights around the world.
