Your "second" or favourite non-LFC club

Dundee, my grandads team.
Followed them all over Scotland during my mid teens, only giving up when I started playing Saturdays for my local amateur club.

Famously managed by Bob Shankly (Bill’s brother) so a good Reds connection there.

Used to play with Dundee a lot on FM when I was a kid. Back then when they had some decent results, European qualification (I think?), some cool foreign players, etc. Plus, I love the proximity of both grounds in Dundee!

Huge game the day…

Clachnacuddin v Inverurie Loco’s in the Scottish Cup 1st round,

can 3rd bottom Clach beat 2nd bottom Inverurie, (who have a new manager) ?

it should’ve been on Sky Sports 1, but UEFA wouldnt let them show it,
as it would affect attendances at all the matches across Europe!

their loss…

Honorary mention to Brighton. Probably the only team apart from Liverpool which I’m looking forward to see matches of.

If for no other reason than to hear the commentators mangle the pronunciation of Clachnacuddin.

A few years ago I was held up in Ecclefechan and had to phone my brother to say I would be late.

A scouse receptionist answered the phone and and shouted to him, “Dave, it’s yer bruther, he’s stuck in Ecclefechan.”

It turns out that Ecclefechan is hilarious when pronounced in a scouse accent.

I’d imagine it being funny in most accents TBF. :joy::nerd_face:
