Oor Q&A scumbag and Bear’s cheesy Wotsit

It’s a bumper international break so we’re ploughing through a bumper Q&A session. Big thanks to all our viewers/listeners for their questions on the big stuff like Jim Goodwin’s legacy, Dundee’s style of play and a controversial take on crisps. The word ‘scumbag’ appears for the first time on Twa Teams… It’s all kicking off in our Q&A episode with host Sean Hamilton firing the questions at Courier Sport writers Alan Temple and George Cran and ex-Tele Sport editor Graeme Finnan.

Raw eroticism and penny farthings

It’s an all-too rare episode of Twa Teams, Six Points after a superb weekend for our clubs. At Dens Park, Dundee drew the sting from a ponderous, possession-heavy Motherwell side and claimed a fine 2-1 victory – and the win could have been more handsome. We ask how good Bradley Fink could be for the Dee, while spotlighting a burgeoning partnership with Joe Westley. There’s praise for a cast-iron defence organised by Steven Pressley – and a little sympathy for the Motherwell goalkeeper amid a damning match assessment from one source. And why Dundee WON’T delve into the free agent market after Ryan Finnigan’s injury. Meanwhile, United enjoyed a magnificent afternoon in Paisley, racing to a 3-0 half-time lead over St Mirren and comfortably seeing out the triumph – further evidence that there is something positive brewing with this Tannadice rebuild. There is lavish praise for Lyall Cameron’s quality, character and ambition following a blistering start to his United career, Idjessi Metsoko gets his flowers and Dylan Tait’s clairvoyant properties are discussed. And referee David Dickinson’s performance is put under the microscope during a hearty red card debate. Loads to discuss as host Sean Hamilton is joined by Courier Sport writers Alan Temple and George Cran and ex-Tele Sport editor Graeme Finnan.

Don’t be the crisis club and a miraculous recovery

After a weekend off, Twa Teams is back to preview a colossal weekend of Premiership football. The stakes are high with a three-week break awaiting after full-time on Saturday. For both Dundee and Dundee United, victory at the weekend would send them into the break on the up. United, though, could find themselves bottom of the table if results go against them. And Dundee have injuries upon injuries. There’s loads to discuss as host Sean Hamilton is joined by Courier Sport writers Alan Temple and George Cran and ex-Tele Sport editor Graeme Finnan.

Wee brainy boffins and bungling blazers

Dundee are enduring zero luck on the injury front. Following Simon Murray’s ACL injury, the devastating news has emerged that Fin Robertson has suffered the same fate – and tears flowed at the Dee’s training base. We also have updates on the fitness of Joe Westley and Ryan Finnigan and ask whether the Dark Blues could be forced into the free agent market. And there’s a deep dive into Dundee’s summer business as we ask whether the club were right to turn down £500,000 for Joe Bevan. At Dundee United, we reveal how the Tangerines will be maintaining match sharpness ahead of their free weekend and have fitness updates on Mehdi Merghem and Will Ferry. We also delve into the Terrors’ work in the transfer market – including why Michael Forbes is their signing of the season. And some of the major questions posed by the squad building are addressed, such as: Are there enough goals? Is there enough depth in midfield? Loads to discuss as host Sean Hamilton is joined by Courier Sport writers Alan Temple and George Cran and ex-Tele Sport editor Graeme Finnan. NOTE: There was a technical issue in the second half of the Dundee United section – if it sounds like everyone suddenly got a cold, it's on our end, not yours!

Zidane purrs for United and what is the Dundee godsend after BRUTAL loss?

Dundee lost the game and lost three players during a galling defeat at Hearts. The team chew over the late collapse at Tynecastle, including two major VAR calls resulting in a penalty for the Jambos and red card following a “stupid” Zan Besir challenge. And why the upcoming break could be ideal for Steven Pressley and his squad. At Tannadice, there’s a deep dive into the debuts of Lyall Cameron and Zidane Iqbal – and the engine room conundrum it gives Dundee United boss Jim Goodwin. We pick the bones out of a dismal opening 20 minutes from the Tangerines again Falkirk, and then laudable response from United as they rescued a 1-1 draw. What went wrong? Then what changed in a contest that swiftly became “Dundee United v Scott Bain”? And we analyse the Jesse Randall penalty claim that so infuriated United.

United’s red rage and what isn’t working for Dundee?

Midweek football means immediate reactions on Twa Teams, One Street. There’s plenty to discuss but not much of it positive. Dundee United had a tough night at Motherwell after Emmanual Agyei’s early red card – was it the right decision from the ref? And what happened after that? Dundee, meanwhile, struggled to impose themselves on St Johnstone at Dens Park but then threw away victory late on. What isn’t working for the Dark Blues right now? Plus it’s deadline day so there’s some transfer talk too. Loads to discuss as host Sean Hamilton is joined by Courier Sport writers Alan Temple and George Cran and ex-Tele Sport editor Graeme Finnan.

Bert, banjos and back to the drawing board for Dundee

What went wrong for Dundee against Hibernian? That’s the question following a 2-1 defeat at Dens Park, during which the visitors dominated large swathes and had control of the midfield. Did some of this season’s star performers like Ethan Hamilton and Drey Wright enjoy a rare off-day and was Nathan Lowe interfering with play for the Hibees’ opener? We also assess what to expect from St Johnstone. United, meanwhile, saw things finally click in the final third as they battered Kilmarnock 4-0 at Rugby Park. There is praise for the likes of Mehdi Merghem and Pan Camara, and some mystification regarding how Neil McCann set up the hosts. With transfer deadline day approaching, what is the latest on Will Ferry, Vicko Sevelj and the Tangerines’ plans for the final days of the window? The centre-back pairing of Bert Esselink and Michael Forbes get their share of the spotlight. And how United’s trip to Motherwell represents a contest against the sort of flowing, attacking unit the Terrors would like to be. Twa Teams, One Street tackle all the talking points with The Courier head of sport Sean Hamilton, Alan Temple and Graeme Finnan. You can also see us on YouTube at youtube.com/@TheCourierUK/videos

The ‘B’ is for Basketball

Dundee United will seek to bounce back from derby disappointment at Kilmarnock – a ground where they’ve endured a decade of league misery. The team chew over the Tangerines’ bid for Brad Spencer and whether it could be a busy final week of the transfer window at Tannadice. We discuss why it is too early to write off new arrivals – especially when coming from the other side of the world – after a slow start. And at the very other ends of the age spectrum, there is Lorenzo Sassetti and Sean Dillon chat. Across the road, the mantra is ‘make hay while the sun shines’. Is Sunday the PERFECT time to face Hibernian? Bradley Fink is tipped for a starting berth against the Hibees as George cautions us what NOT to expect from the big striker. And there is the latest on Matai Akinmboni’s impending arrival from Bournemouth as we delve into the youngster's family tree. Twa Teams, One Street tackle all the big with Courier Sport head of sport Sean Hamilton, George Cran, Alan Temple and Graeme Finnan.

I’m a Yank that happens to be a Dundee United fan. The coverage that these writers give to Dundee United and Dundee football clubs is great. It’s on my must listen to podcasts each week. The three hosts each provide a different perspective on the clubs and the news . They also write for the Courier. Which has become part of my daily reading list. Great job guys keep up the great job.
