Got this email from my mate..... If yi canna make it tomorrow stop reading now cos I read this and almost started walking to Dingwall lol. "Imagine for a second you are Rhys Weston, Gary Harkins, Stephen O'Donnell or any other of the bold boys. You've had the most trying season of your career, you've seen your mates lose their jobs, gone without pay and seen the pain etched on the face of everyone with the interests of Dundee at heart. But you've also bonded with team-mates in a way you never thought possible, you've been handed an impossible obstacle and, together, achieved what no one thought possible, you have discovered a spirit you never knew you possessed and bonded with the fans to the extent homo-eroticism has become the norm around Sandeman Street. Tonight you will go to bed and, unable to sleep, know that you are a midge's pube away from achieving a special kind of greatness. Tomorrow you can achieve more than you've ever achieved in football. Phuck it, more than anyone's ever achieved in football. Tomorrow comes and you stand in the tunnel. You can hear the travelling hordes "na..." You think of those dark days back in September, and how it was the worst day of your career... "Na..." Getting told you were getting hit with a scandalous and unprecedented 25 point penalty and the injustice you felt at that moment. "Na..." Jamie Adams' winner against Thistle. "Na..." Seeing how the fans rallied round and stood shoulder to shoulder with you. "Na..." The best 0-0 draw in history at East End Park. "Na..." The Derry Rhumba that followed Neil McCann's winner. "Na..." Hoping that your mates can come back to the fold only for the SFl to say they had to stay on the dole. "Na..." Playing juniors to give the league leaders a chance and taking them apart at their place. "Na..." Going 23 games unbeaten and it taking five minutes of appaling refereeing to break your streak. "Na..." From the corner of your eye you see a chink of light and know Bobby Cox is smiling down upon you. "NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA. NA, NA, NA, NA, DUNDEE!!!" You love the Derry. The Derry loves you. You have held out against the invader, landed at Normanday, liberated France and now you march on Berlin. Longmuir's in his bunker, cyanide in his hand knowing it's almost all over. Let's finish the chunt off. _____________________________Rab (legend) Irvine (legend)_____McKeown (legend)____Weston (legend)____Lockwood (legend) Riley (legend)___Webster (future legend)___O' DOnnell (legend)___Forsyth (legend) ______________________________GGH (all time legend) ____________________________McIntosh (legend after last week)
