Are we opening the shed for Utd fans on Saturday then? ET is sold out, GF has about 300 left in bottom tier.
Surely could put the Ayr fans in Jerry Kerr - what will they have 250-300 max?Presumably there will be tickets already sold for the Shed to Ayr fans. More likely to release tickets to United fans in the Jerry Kerr, I would have thought.

Rovers' twitter nonce now celebrating giving up on the title with three games left.
Apparently they never fancied winning the league anyway.

It wasn't a bad penalty, the keeper just dived the right way. Was the same penalty (albeit to the opposite side) that he did against Raith.
Most penalties would look shit if the keeper guesses right
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.

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.

All I can really do to retaliate is mock Utd's woeful travelling support. A big club in Scottish terms on the verge of a league title bringing around 800 fans is pretty embarrassing. May have been more but I expected at least a couple of thousand.
Crack on then, bud. Goal's wide open. Put it away ...

Only a pity for us that Utd didn't have to play someone half decent tonight, instead of this utter gang.
Three weeks in a row now. Maybe we'll get to play someone half decent next week.

He was the best in the league in both positions.
Goodwin has done what Goodwin does and turned him to shit.
Oakley out again. Rough night ahead.
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.

The negligence and unprofessionalism demonstrated by Dundee Football Club, where they have repeatedly breached SPFL rules, continues to have a damaging effect on the top professional league in the country.
Ffs, Rangers just can't help themselves. Self righteous bell-ends.

Dom Thomas leaves a huge gap in the team but I just can’t fathom why Davidson thought the Turner/Mckinstry midfield combination was the way to go when we know it just doesn’t work.
Turner has shown he can be moderately competent a bit further up the park but in the position he played today he offers nothing. Mckinstry shouldn’t even be in the match day squad for the rest of the season.
That’s not to say the rest of the team were much better and their removal didn’t exactly improve things
Dundee United were excellent, much improved from the previous 0-0 game at Hampden.
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.

What did he say ?
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.

My neighbours drains were blocked a few months back yet mine's were fine. A matter of 2-3 yards apart.
Amazing, eh?
Sounds like your neighbour needs to get his drains sorted.

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.

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?

I counted 11 bookings? Congratulations on not getting players sent off and a game where the ref was clearly trying to make a name for himself, I’ll bet he wasn’t wanting the name you fans are calling him though.
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.

Happened after watt etc started that but iv already called out the morons for chucking things so doesn't matter a jot what way round it happened really.
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).

Absolute nick of Dundee United players squaring up to the raith fans after their first goal
amazing how “big time” players get rattled so easily
The Rovers fans were chucking coins and drinks. Hardly surprising some players took exception.

A big game and we actually turn up. Great result and a performance to match, wasn’t exactly sexy soccer for ninety minutes but there was effort and determination from the team today that has been missing recently. If today’s Tony Watt turned up every week we would have already won the league, such a frustrating player, it’s clear what he can offer but so often he looks like he can’t be arsed. The league wasn’t won today but I feel we could have lost it today, todays result counts for nothing if we don’t put the same effort into the remaining games.
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.

Docherty and Sibbald won't get the credit of others in the team but their impact on the day in the midfield played a huge part in overrunning for me the strongest part of Raith's team.
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.
