Pull My Strings

Enjoyed that today and a little bit of justice done after the smash and grab last time at Starks Park. Rovers really are a horrible outfit. Constantly pushing, pulling and throwing themselves to the ground. Horrible, cheating wee fannies. Yer man at left back was a particular stand out. Dick by name, etc. A good day today for the good guys. Rovers' social media knob not quite so pithy tonight.

Disnae work when it's your own team, surely. I'm saying Rovers will drop no points at all.

Cammy Kerr throwing himself to the ground. Snide little w**k.

Well, if you're accepting my posts at face value, then what we've established is that you're a fucking idiot who struggles to understand the most basic of concepts. I'll restate the only premise offered so you know exactly what to counter: the only creditor of any significance (to the club and to the creditor) is Mark Ogren. It's therefore beyond idiotic to suggest that Ogren is causing some detriment to the creditors by choosing to sell a particular allocation of tickets when the only creditor who could be prejudiced by that decision is Ogren himself. If we're not accepting that then no doubt you'll be able to offer some alternative view. Your suggestion, after all, was that there are creditors who will be prejudiced by United offering a particular allocation of tickets in one game. That's complete horseshit and you're talking out of your arse. No doubt you'll be able to refute this point quite easily. I can't wait.

Ffs. Have a cup of tea and think about what you're saying. No, 98% if that's what it was, isn't a sell out. For non crowd w**k purposes, the point is that no one missed out on a ticket, which is entirely the issue at hand. So, no, not the same The "we sold out this time in under a minute" has just been pulled out of your arse and you know it. Which is disappointing given that your next point is "durr, would folk make a fuss on the internet about nothing?" I don't think you need me to address that one. So aye, some folk on the internet are fucking idiots. Don't be one of those guys.

Are you claiming now that it's sold out already or that you just can't be arsed going back in to try? Would blame you if it's the latter, the ticketing software is awful. Ironically United just announced an extension of their contract with the ticketing provider on Tuesday. https://www.dundeeunitedfc.co.uk/news/8322/DUNDEE-UNITED-AGREE-FUTURE-TICKETING-EXTENSION-.html

I think we've already established that this isn't the case. One of your chums even sourced a tweet from Rovers showing that it wasn't sold out.

Well, no he's obviously not the only creditor, that's why I said he's the only significant creditor. If he was literally the only creditor then I would have said that. There's a couple of million due to the Government, interest free, for the covid recovery loans which pretty much every club in the country took advantage of. It would have been negligent not to. Beyond that there will be your usual business invoices, maybe staged payments for a transfer fee here or there. The usual, run of the mill, accounting practises. Nothing's in default and everyone will be paid, except Mr Ogren. Nae luck Mr Ogren. Edit: Practises*. FFS.

Oh Dee Man, is your face going to be red when you find out that the only significant creditor is the guy who owns the club.

Disappointing, if not entirely surprising. Rovers

Aye, we've moved past that point. Rovers did indeed come close to selling their allocation last time and there was chat about opening further sections. In the end that wasn't necessary. That would have meant opening a whole new Stand though. Sounds like you've been put in the Fair Play stand, which would be a smaller initial allocation with scope to extend along into the Jerry Kerr. That gives United the option of selling tickets in the Shed to United fans, which is always the preferred option. That would allow more fans from both clubs to attend. Not really sure the pissy statement from the Rovers board was necessary, or on point, but that seems to be the way of things with some people. If Rovers sell out their allocation and don't then get further seats then you can moan. Seems a bit premature before a single ticket has been released. The Rovers board are mostly local dryg dealers though, is that right? Probably whacked out on goofballs.

Apparently they might only be getting as many tickets as they need but this time in a different stand.

Well, we seem to have reached an impasse. One of us is clearly mistaken. I say it's you. I trust that you will be a big enough man to simply accept that and move on with your life.

Don't think so. Didn't look full and all the chat before the game was that you were close to selling out. In the end it didn't happen.

Yeah, that was my recollection. Didn't sell out but came close.

Is this true? I don't recall it being mentioned and the Shed wasn't full. I think there was some chat about whether extra seats would be allocated but in the event that didn't happen.

Are Rovers likely to sell out? No away fans have got close to selling out at Tannadice all season and I doubt that will change next week. I don't think United have announced the allocation yet or which stands are being allocated to Rovers so it's difficult to say whether it's unfair or not. United do tend to punt away fans from the Shed for big games in order to give it to United fans so I presume that's what's happening. Which seems perfectly reasonable and fair given that there will be greater demand for extra tickets from home fans than away. FWIW, if we are doing it to gain an advantage then I'm cool with that too. Abso-fucking-lutely.

Aye, the world's a terrible place. There's no justice, just us.

What a night that was for you guys. Buckets of cash, three points and a worldie in the last few seconds to snatch an undeserved win. You're welcome, btw.

Rumour has it the club were paid for those extra tickets. It wasn't a charitable gesture.

Hiya Malky.

Of course, mental for anyone to pretend otherwise.

Holding off on releasing the tickets in the hope that the planet will be destroyed by a giant meteor, sparing any further embarrassment. Worth it, imo. *(Probably end of the week).

No DoF. Goodwin's boss will be Capuano.
