  1. Fairly sure I can remember at least one occasion where Kerr took the ball from him and drove into our half with it (obv it didn't amount to anything cos Dundee are shite) but aye a lot of their contests ended in a Utd throw right enough. I give Louis credit that night for never shying away and always being willing to run at the defender but Kerr got the better of him imo.
  2. So a left winger and centre midfielder in Jan going by this article? Will do for me.
  3. I watched the last derby on tv and thought Kerr largely had Appere in his pocket. Dundees best player on the night. Particularly first half. English lad watching it with me was getting exasperated with Utd continually trying to go down the left first half only for Kerr to get the better of it.
  4. f**k it, I'm wi Jock, the league is done and dusted. 9 wins out of the remaining 18 would be enough and I struggle to see how we don't get over the line. That being said, this game has a wee banana skin feel for me. Anything approaching our best and we'll win, below that and Dundee have a couple of players who could hurt us. A faster start than Saturday would be nice, 2-1 Utd (Butcher & Shankland).
  5. We're not always the prettiest but this team has developed a real solidity at the back and a ruthless streak up front. 9 wins on the bounce only conceding 2 (both og's) is impressive and 45 points at the halfway stage is a cracking haul. Great to see the numbers coming through the gates too.
  6. Hopefully McMullan back in from the start and we play with a bit more pace than last week. I'll optimistically go for an improved performance and a 3-0 win, Watson and Shankland x 2.
  7. Deniz Mehmet - sound c**t/10 Adrian Sporle - 3/10 - Probably a write off at this point, had about 1.5 decent games as a left winger but that's about it. Apparently not settled at all in Scotland. Liam Smith - 8/10 - Good signing, solid defensively and gets up and down the right all day. Mark Reynolds - 9/10 - Bizarrely saw a number of fans of other clubs labelling him as shite at the start of the season. Been absolutely solid most weeks and is a leader at the club on and off the park. Adam King - 2/10 - Largely pish. Lawrence Shankland - 10/10 - f**k all needing said here really.
  8. I was watching through the haze of a few pints but have to assume Clark has rolled it forward slightly. The Arbroath players all reacted straight away, could clearly hear them shouting for offside when it came back to Stanton.
  9. Those corners were doing my box in. Arbroath defenders obviously clocked it the first couple of times we did it and moved men off the post so Stanton was offside after the ball came back to him. They made an arse of 1 or 2 in the 2nd half as well. Definitely a case of overthinking it in my own humble opinion. As someone else mentioned boozers across the town seemed to be jumping before and after the game, we walked up to Westport at full time and everywhere was rammed. Nice wee early Christmas present for the local landlords.
  10. That was pretty honking, good 3 points though.
  11. Poor first half. Utd keeper definitely struggled with the wind more than I thought he would. I'll take it though
  12. Spent most of yesterday hungover but woke up up for this today. Leaving the hoose in 10 minutes for a few pre match pints, weather looks about as good as we could hope for Arbroath away in December so no excuses.
  13. 48 is better than I hoped for. Very interesting to see what happens next. Zero doubt Johnson rejects a section 30 order but what does a drawn out conflict between this most tory of tory c***s and the Scottish government do for the indy vote and for sentiment in Scotland? The optimist in me says it makes a pro independence majority in Scotland inevitable.
  14. Glad the £ went from being worth $1.31 to $1.35 mate, that'll make all the difference to those in need.
  15. Same, thought it looked like the wee c**t had a smug grin on his coupon too. Maybe my 2nd biggest fist pump of the night after Swinson.
  16. Boy on STV now saying exit poll might have underestimated the SNP vote. Unreal.
  17. Keyboards oot for Wishart. Massive increase in majority.
  18. Saved yoursel from a doing ya fermer c***s* *fuckin' get in lads
