United line up against a Selangor XI featuring Bruce Grobbelaar for the opening of the Shah Alam stadium in Malaysia in 1994 in front of a reported 100,000 crowd. They'd also play Bayern Munich and an Australia XI, with all of the games ending in a draw.
The stadium fell onto disrepair and was blown up this week

It's United but no idea where it's at just now, was the tail end of last year I think when it was first rumoured.

It's dying because young people now prefer to snort their recreational drugs from a key or small spoon rather than a crisp £20 note.
Woke nonsense.

I don't doubt it, but worth noting he said that before switching to a back 4 for the first time this season during the Rangers game.
Obviously the last thing he'll want to do having spent the summer recruiting for a specific formation, is to throw that out the window, but then, we'll continue to see Babunski looking like a lost fish out on the right.
The fact he switches to a 352 nearly every game now is fairly illustrative that even he can see it's not working.
VdS knocks his pan in (in a role I really don't think suits him) before he brings on the two forwards.
It's nothing if not predictable.
Aye, remembered that right after posting...
Still though think the system, defensively at least, is here to stay but you're right about Babunski. What he offered earlier in the season has been nullified. At the same time we looked far too open with just him and Sibbald in the middle. Could you play Sibbald and Docherty with Babunski a little further forward? Probably doesn't completely suit him either and impacts Trapanovski. Tough one, Goodwin needs to come up with an answer soon though.
Have a feeling he might change it to 3-5-2 on Saturday with Trap and VDS on the bench.

No chance he's going to a back four.
13 September 2024
Jim Goodwin says the benefits of a summer he spent scouring the world to devise a formation that best suits his Dundee United side are starting to show.
After stepping up from the Championship, United have made a blistering start to the season.
They are unbeaten in eight games in all competitions and sit third in the Premiership going into Sunday's Tannadice showdown with Rangers.
Goodwin said: "We are very much a 3-4 -3 in attack. We want to try and be aggressive in the top end of the pitch out of possession, but then we are quite willing at times to drop back into a 5-4-1 low block and frustrate the opposition.
"The 3-4-3 is a system that a number of teams in Europe have adopted. I spent the summer pretty much analysing all these top teams all over the world and trying to come up with a system we feel would suit our recruitment process and the players we already have under contract.
"This one has taken a little bit of time for the players to get used to, because a number of them haven't been involved in it before, but there are certainly signs in recent weeks that there is now a clear understanding of what we look like in and out of possession."

Still the worst one on here was the Dundee Utd fan, Pacman83 who was constantly going on about the presenters on daytime telly sending him subliminal messages on air and f**king with his head. At first, most of us thought it was just a bit and sort of laughed it off but this went on for several months to the point where we were telling him to seriously seek help as it went way beyond sticking to the gimmick. Everyone who tried to engage him got nowhere.
Another Utd fan who knew him came on here a few months after his last post to confirm that what was afflicting him mentally was very, very real and he'd ended up committing suicide. Still think about the poor b*****d sometimes and the help he clearly needed but chose not to get.
There were a couple people who engaged him in other ways. I remember when he implied he was going to kill himself one poster told him to remember to slash up the way.

Walton, the back three, Ferry, Docherty, Moult should be first picks if fit. The rest I've still no idea, personnel or formation. All still seems imbalanced and rudderless and we're trying to shoe horn players in. Though there is the makings of a team in there somewhere.

Aye. Switched to Friday night for online streaming is a shambles.

Trapi Trapanovski!
Only those of a certain vintage will understand!
I understand. Tam Cowan tells a half decent joke about him in the optician that ends with the line, 'read it? I went to school with him'.

Feel like (based on very little) this team might be better suited to playing away so hopeful about tonight.
1-0 (Trapanovski).

I don't get the derision being poured on the Ibrox support for singing their version of 'Caledonia'. There are plenty other reasons to ridicule them, but when they've chosen to sing that little ditty instead of the party tunes with add ons, which some also did on Sunday, it's not, for me, a reason for mockery.
Maybe folk should take umbrage at United fans singing 'Zombie' towards Sunday's away support, since Dolores O'Roirdan wrote it about victims of an IRA bombing, or 'Lizzie's in a Box' to melody of 'Three Lions' by Broudie, Badiel and Skinner, an England anthem. That's ironic too.
The Lizzie one is to the tune of Give It Up by KC and the Sunshine Band. Though it would probably still scan with Three Lions.

What is ironic about it? As far as I'm aware Caledonia has no pro-independence meaning and is a song about being homesick.
Additionally being anti-independence/pro-union is not incompatible with a Scottish identity.
There's absolutely f**k all Scottish about those North British losers twirling Union flags yesterday, and thankfully so.

Can we please remove these Butcher's Apron shaggers from the Shed next time. I really don't think it's worth 40 grand. I'm sure @Granny Danger would be happy to make up the shortfall.

This is shite. Least you expect is a press when playing them, just standing off them.

Funny because they can achieve this quite easily by just f**king off somewhere else.

Worst one was the booking for Larkeche for 'simulation' when he collided with the defender in mid air. (wasn't a penalty either).
Overall no complaints about the result.
Thank you.
You have to beat the dross.

Right enough. Should have realised that, I was at the bloody game.
