    Dundee v St Johnstone ticked two BIG derby boxes

    Dundee v St Johnstone ticked two BIG derby boxes

    Whether or not Dundee v St Johnstone can be called a Tayside derby is a matter of debate. But Sunday's clash between the sides at Dens certainly had the energy and controversy of a derby match. On this week's Courier Talking Football, Jim Spence, Eric Nicolson and Sean Hamilton discuss the Dark Blues' victory, another VAR talking point and the fallout from Saints captain Liam Gordon's late clash with Dee striker Michael Mellon. Also on the agenda, Dundee United's chance to stretch their lead over Raith Rovers to seven points and Dick Campbell's sadly souring relationship with Arbroath.

    Are Dundee tooled up for a European push?

    Are Dundee tooled up for a European push?

    Dundee's winter recruitment has seen them exit January stronger than they entered it. After their emphatic win over Livingston, a point in Aberdeen and another performance in which they showed they can hurt Hearts, should Tony Docherty's Dark Blues be recalibrating their ambitions for the season? On this week's Courier Talking Football, Jim Spence, Eric Nicolson and Sean Hamilton discuss this, a possible change in attacking approach from newly pacey St Johnstone and Dundee United moving four points clear of Raith Rovers in the Championship, where Dunfermline took an eye-catching loss to Morton.

Anti United Podcast

None of them go to United games each week, the presenter didn’t even watch the full Raith v United game live on TV.

A total joke of a podcast for United fans who have the biggest support in the area by far.

Terrible audio

Decent podcast and Jim adds a bit of insight from his time at United but my god the sound mixing is atrocious! I’m sure a bit of it is Jim muttering but at times it’s genuinely hard to hear a word he’s saying. PLEASE even out the volume of the voices and make the whole podcast at least 20% louder because what should be a good listen is absolutely ruined right now
