Welcome to the Edinburgh and Lothians Dundee United Supporters' Web Site. The branch was formed in 1984 and is a founder member of the Federation of Dundee United Supports Clubs. Our membership covers a wide geographical area covering Edinburgh, Longniddry and Dalkeith in the East, Livingston and Linlithgow in the west as well as West Fife and Kinross. We run a bus to all home games and to selected away games. We are very much a family orientated club and are always on the lookout for new members. For the past 2 seasons our bus average has been 34 so we have plenty of room for more. See the bus pages for details of prices and bus routes/times.

Latest News

Well that was a disastrous day on Saturday especially for those of us who travelled up on the bus.
Due to an error in the bus office the bus arrived 45 minutes late at Danderhall. Many thanks to those of you who showed great patience in waiting.
Thankfully mobile phones came to the rescue and at least we were able to let everyone know we were running late.
The driver did well and made up 15 minutes on the journey up so that some of the lads still had time for a quick pint before the match. If the late bus was an omen of what was to come then Garry Kenneth's rocket strike which hit the bar kind of gave us the feeling that it was not going to be our day.
And so it came to pass after 40 minutes of United domination Killie have their first attempt at goal and scored and after that things only got worse.
Let's hope CL gets his formation and tactics sorted out quickly.

GOOD NEWS
The only bit of good news is that I managed to negotiate a £50 deduction in the bus price for the upset caused.
I blamed them for us getting beat as well and I insisted that if the bus had been on time we would have won the match.

United Ref Index

After last season's poor refereeing decisions we finished with a ref index 0f -7
As a result of CL's clash with officialdom I am not expecting us to get that many good decisions this season so I am going to run the ref index again.
> Here is how it works.
Really Bad decision against United which influences result of match: -2
Really Good decision for United which influences result of match: +2
Iffy decision for United which does not influence result of match: +5 or +1 Iffy decision against United which does not influence result.-.5 0r -1
