Advertise on podcast: Twa Teams, One Street: the football podcast that’s as obsessed by Dundee FC and Dundee United as you are!

Motherwell are up next for Dundee United – so, what has changed since the Jens Berthel Askou era to give the Tangerines belief they can now get the better of the Steelmen?  Could 3rd place even be up for grabs in a hyper-competitive Premiership this term?  Why Zidane Iqbal looks in no rush to leave Tannadice and Dylan Tait’s ever more compelling case to become a Scotland international of the future.   We also discuss the fitness situation of Neil Farrugia and Emmanuel Agyei – and why the latter should not be overlooked just because of the form shown by Iqbal, Tait and Lyall Cameron.      At Dundee, we talk attendances and advantages ahead of the Dark Blues’ short trip to McDiarmid Park.  There’s a spotlight on one of the most potent attacking pools in the top-flight, and a smart bit of business involving Imari Samuels.   We’ll look at whether Owen Bevan and Ryan Finnigan could be in the line-up this weekend and discuss the futures of Drey Wright and Simon Murray.   And why Steven Pressley has found contentment at the Dee.   The Courier head of sport Sean Hamilton is joined in the studio by Alan Temple and George Cran.  You can also see us on YouTube at youtube.com/@TheCourierUK/videos

Oor twa teams march on in the top five with plenty of good football on show.  Dundee United almost shocked the champions but come away from Celtic with a well-earned draw – is their midfield actually better than the Hoops’?  We dig through all the big moments from a big performance in Glasgow with special guest star Neil Forsyth joining Alan Temple and the boys.  Those other boys then stick around to discuss another good night for Dundee at Dens Park.  Host Sean Hamilton, DFC writer George Cran and ex-Tele Sport editor Graeme Finnan try to figure out if Dundee can keep going in fourth.  And is Owen Goodman the best goalkeeper in the league?  You can also see us on YouTube at youtube.com/@TheCourierUK/videos

Dundee United’s fine form continued with a hard-fought victory over Aberdeen at the weekend.   Zac Sapsford looked back to his best as he notched the winning effort in a 3-2 triumph. The team discuss his display – and whether his other ‘goal’ should have stood.   There is praise for Dylan Tait and Bert Esselink, while Bear tells us why he LOVES seeing Michael Forbes sporting a bandage after another bruising afternoon.   And we ask whether it’s time for United to finally end 34 years of league hurt at Celtic Park.  For Dundee, there was defeat amid a deluge in Paisley, with St Mirren claiming a 2-1 win.   We ask what on earth happened to the Dee for the Buddies’ two goals, and whether yet another goal for Bradley Fink could catch the eye of parent club Wycombe Wanderers.   And does Steven Pressley need a Plan B after Craig McLeish appeared to figure out his ever-consistent shape and strategy?  The Courier head of sport Sean Hamilton is in the hotseat, joined by George Cran, Alan Temple and ex-Tele Sport editor Graeme Finnan.  You can also see us on YouTube at youtube.com/@TheCourierUK/videos

Today’s episode begins on a sad note as the team pay tribute to ex-Dundee hero Giorgi Nemsadze, who passed away this week aged 54.   His former teammate Lee Wilkie shares memories of Nemsadze; the man and the wonderfully talented footballer.   While football has been lent a sharp sense of perspective, the fixture list continues with Dundee’s trip to St Mirren. We discuss why the Dee should travel to Paisley with ample confidence.   And will Dundee snap up the trialists who took to the field for them in a bounce game against Rangers this week?  Across the road, United are preparing for the visit of Aberdeen – can they pile the pressure on Stephen Robinson?  There is advice for the Tangerines’ attackers as Zac Sapsford is tipped to lead the line against the Dons, while we discuss the development of Daniel Bennie.   And we have injury news involving Lachie Rose, Mehdi Merghem and on-loan United defender Sam Cleall-Harding.     Courier Sport writers George Cran and Alan Temple are joined by ex-Tele Sport editor Graeme Finnan and special guest, former Dundee, United and Scotland defender Lee Wilkie.   You can also see us on YouTube at youtube.com/@TheCourierUK/videos

Dundee claimed a share of the spoils against Rangers at Dens Park.   Callum Jones was the hero with the leveller to make it 2-2 – is the energetic midfielder now undroppbale? And is he on his way to earning a new contract with the Dark Blues?  We also discuss what was behind a fantastic first half showing, the guts required after the break and the wisdom of Alan Forrest.  United also had to settle for a point at St Johnstone.   Lyall Cameron is proving so consistently excellent that the team are struggling to find fresh superlatives, while Jesse Randall continues to prove a major threat on the wings.  However, United need to get their striker scoring – and that’s not SOLELY down to the individual.   And why it felt like the Tangerines were facing themselves…in 2024/25.   There’s just a Twa Teams trio this Monday with Courier Sport writers George Cran and Alan Temple joined by ex-Tele Sport editor Graeme Finnan.  You can also see us on YouTube at youtube.com/@TheCourierUK/videos

Oor twa teams are riding high as they head into the weekend with back-to-back wins.  Can they add to the feelgood factor?  Dundee have it tough against in-form Rangers. Derek McInnes’s side have won their last seven straight matches.  Is there a way the injury-hit Dark Blues can derail their hype train?  And there’s plenty on Ash Hay and Gordon Strachan, too.  United, meanwhile, face a test against another top-six side when they make the short trip to Perth.  A cracker awaits at St Johnstone and there’s plenty to get through.  There’s just a Twa Teams trio in the studio this week with Courier Sport writers George Cran and Alan Temple joined by ex-Tele Sport editor Graeme Finnan.  You can also see us on YouTube at youtube.com/@TheCourierUK/videos

Another fabulous weekend for our clubs is in the books.   Dundee United saw off hapless Hibs with a 1-0 victory that should have been far more comprehensive.   Could Lyall Cameron catch the eye of Scotland manager Sebastian Pocognoli?   And could you get the ball off Zidane Iqbal in a phone box?  At the Falkirk Stadium, it was a case of no subbies, no problem.   Ash Hay was the Dundee hero with a wonderful instinctive late finish.   Steven Pressley’s gutsy Dark Blues are hailed, and we ask whether it is time to recalibrate expectations at Dens Park.   Sean Hamilton hosts alongside Courier Sport writer Alan Temple and ex-Tele Sport editor Graeme Finnan.  You can also see us on YouTube at youtube.com/@TheCourierUK/videos

The Premiership is back! Thank the wee man.  But it’s not all good news for Dundee fans – there’s an injury crisis raging at Dens Park.  They’ll be without EIGHT senior players at Falkirk – but can they still pull off a result?  And in doing so break their Falkirk hoodoo?  United have enjoyed a far sunnier break with time in Portugal and some stars enjoying a fine international break.  They face Hibs in Marink Reedijk’s first match in charge – is it a good time to face them?  They also have a hoodoo of their own – no home league wins since April. Is it time to end that run?  In the studio alongside host Sean Hamilton are Courier Sport writers George Cran and Alan Temple alongside ex-Tele Sport editor Graeme Finnan.  You can also see us on YouTube at youtube.com/@TheCourierUK/videos

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.  You can also see us on YouTube at youtube.com/@TheCourierUK/videos

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.  NOTE: Get your questions in for our Q&A episode on Thursday – email [email protected], contact the guys on social media or comment on YouTube.  You can find us on YouTube at youtube.com/@TheCourierUK/videos

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.  NOTE: Get your questions in for our Q&A episode next week – email [email protected] or contact the guys on social media.  You can also see us on YouTube at youtube.com/@TheCourierUK/videos

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!  You can also see us on YouTube at youtube.com/@TheCourierUK/videos

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.  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.  You can also see us on YouTube at youtube.com/@TheCourierUK/videos

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.  You can also see us on YouTube at youtube.com/@TheCourierUK/videos

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
