  1. No, it was a bad penalty. Previous week was further away from the centre, higher, with more power and to the less favoured side (right footer playing it to the keeper's left). Previous week wasn't a great penalty but was okay. Penalty against Queens was right next to the keeper, on expected side and no great power. Louis' still a great asset to the team but it was a poor penalty.
  2. Nice to finish the season by tucking Morton up in bed. A team full of cheating cunts, led by an arsehole and followed by obnoxious morons. Scottish football: don't say we're not good to you.
  3. I don't think I saw a minute of Grimshaw last season but there's no fucking way he was anywhere near the best midfielder in the championship. That's absolutely wild. He's ranged from pretty steady to poor at right back for us, but is Jordan Tillson level poor in midfield. Probably worse than Tillson, who is at least mobile.
  4. I'm not sure about that. The last game at Hampden, Queens Park seemed focused on killing the game from the first minute and United just couldn't get the breakthrough. Today, Queens Park were far more open and, frankly, just really bad. United much the better team but I think the difference was more in how Queens Park played than how we played. The passing out from the back, which seemed to be a fetish for your last manager, appears to have been adopted by Davidson. I don't recall him doing that at the Johnnies and I just don't think you guys have the players for it. If you compare the way that, say, Airdrie play that style versus what Queens are doing, it's night and day. If we'd been sharper it could have been a really big score.
  5. Accused Dundee of deliberately neglecting their pitch in favour of spunking the cash on their playing squad. Pretty inflammatory stuff. Someone should tell him about the Dens Road sewer. Not that one, the other one.
  6. Sounds like your neighbour needs to get his drains sorted.
  7. If the Airdrie suggestion is serious surely Tannadice or Gussie Park would be better. Both within a couple of hundred yards of Dens and pristine, immaculate surfaces. You'd only get a couple of hundred fans into Gussie but it's better than nothing and isn't in Airdrie. Guaranteed sell out for a Dundee game. Not to be sniffed at lads.
  8. Is there any reason why Dundee couldn't go cap-in-hand, on their knees, to their friendly neighbours and ask, politely, to be allowed to play on their perfect playing surface? They'd have the benefit of a much better pitch and stadium, just across the road, without putting their poor, put-upon fans to additional expense and inconvenience. Would seem an easy solution to a woefully self-inflicted, wrong-headed, cack-handed, problem all of their own making? Am I missing something here?
  9. I think he stopped pulling the card out in the last 10 minutes or so because he couldn't remember who he'd already booked. An absolutely mental performance from Walsh.
  10. It matters not a jot whether thoust were a cad before I started throwing coins at thee, thou art a cad! Tbf, I really don't care when you called the idiots out. Matters not a jot. You're not actually a character in this narrative (unless you were one of the bell ends throwing stuff).
  11. The Rovers fans were chucking coins and drinks. Hardly surprising some players took exception.
  12. Aye, I was making that point on the way up the road. You'd just need to tighten the nuts ever so slightly in Tony's head and he'd be a star. In terms of technique and physicality he should be a top player in the top flight in Scotland. Instead, he farts about more often than not. He turned it up for the last 10 minutes and was actually laughing at the Rovers players trying to challenge him whilst holding them off with ease. Like he was playing against bairns. Such a shame how rarely he seems motivated to play with that degree of intensity.
  13. Not sure about that. From my perspective, and most of those I speak to, it's well recognised that Sibbald and Docherty are the most important players in the team. Both consistently excellent when some others have dipped at various points.
  14. Boy got booted in the face because he dragged Moult to the ground and stuck his face in the way of his boot. Clear as day to anyone paying attention. No doubt it was a sore one but entirely self inflicted. And Dick spent the entire afternoon rolling around on the ground whenever anyone came within two feet of him. A shameless bell-end.
  15. And for much less - Moult for getting pulled to the ground by Murray and Sibbald for getting pushed over by Turner.
