  1. Purely from a neutral point of view, im glad this game is on sky tonight, (currently offshore working) and would rather poke hot needles in my eyes than watch reading v qpr last night! Whether this game shows our scottish game in a positive light may well be a different story, Have a feeling it could be a very one sided affair, and a difficult watch for most on the blue side of dundee. Not that i can say much, with the proverbial rollercoaster season at east end we've been having! Have to say though, I do feel somewhat for dundee, On paper at the start of the season it SHOULD have been between the two teams fighting it out for the top of the league.... My two pence worth would be a 3-1 victory for UTD tonight.

  2. Hi all!

    Not sure if in right section, but ill give it a bash

    Not long finished renovations to my place, and wanted to get myself into the 'modern age'

    Saw the phillips hue voice/smartphone/alexa compatible colour changing lights, led strips etc. Thought about putting them in the living room, hallway and bedroom, and an led strip across the skirting boards behind the tv to light it up in the evenings.

    Does anyone have one on here, thoughts reviews etc? Only thing putting me off is the starter kit seems obscenely expensive at nigh on £160....

    They have only kept 2 clean sheets. But as you say trouten has a knack of scoring vs us and it’s probably more of making sure he’s not getting many shots.

    We’ve actually done pretty well at winning ugly, the Ayr game being the definition of it.

    Your absolutely right about the ayr game @parsforlife

    I remember sitting in the northwest, absolutely deflated when we went behind...until zidane decided to make an appearance!

     

    More of the same today please ashy :)

  5. Alloa always an extremely difficult side to break down, my worry is the longer the game goes on at 0-0 the more frustrated we become, then become liable for a sucker punch. Trouten always seems to fu***** score against us aswell. An early goal from nisbet should hopefully settle the nerves..but perhaps wishful thinking.

    Tbh id take a scrappy as hell game with a stoppage time winner. Weve got to learn to win ugly!

  6. Hopefully last weeks win will give us a real confidence boost going into saturday, ofcourse a Utd backlash after their shambolic performance at queens is a distinct possibility. Ryan has to start though, IMO the best player on the park when he did come on. Highly doubt crawford will go 2 up top, and unsure if nisbet was taken off with a knock of some sort, or just a slight change of system. Would hope to see dow and turner (who albeit was very poor vs ayr and couldve been hooked at HT) can be direct and put utds defensive frailties to the test. In saying that, would be more than happy to leave tannidice with a draw.

  8. Just a bit of fun for the 'prawn sandwich brigade'

    Would love to hear anyones experiences thoughts, ratings etc of their matchday hospitality at any  club, any division from league 2 to scotland national and not necessarily your own team!

    Going to stenhousemuir v Cove on 5th october won via a raffle prize 5 of us going. Free bar so cant complain!

  9. Cardle to come back and haunt us? 😣 God, the thought of it. Really worried about saturday now. Id of preferred if caldwell was still in charge. Its going to give the thistle players a massive boost, no doubt playing for their spot in the team looking to impress new manager coming in. Hoping that we can put all that to one side, and realise how deep in the proverbial sh** we could be with a loss.

    Having said that, 3-0 pars and nisbet to find his scoring boots again. Please! 😍

  10. Goodwillie should be in a f*****g jail cell. Any argument about him 'banging in goals' is utterly ridiculous. Just imagine for a second, the pain and anguish caused to the poor woman. Never mind the fact thats someones daughter. Abhorrent behaviour of the highest order. Just because he plays football shouldnt give him a 'free pass' If there was a rapist at your/my regular place of work would it be, ach i dont mind as long as he does his job well? Come on.

    Just watched the game again this morning.

    The commentators were havering like f**k about the "conditions". Its a bit "windy"
    "Arbroath will be used to playing in this sort of weather"


    The flag was barely fluttering and they were making out it was like hurricane bawbag

    Exactly @RedLichtie86 Its like the world class producers have said to the commentors. 'Right lad, arbroaths near the sea, make sure we tell every**** Its like a scene from twister out there. And oh, arbroath are part time!

    Weather had absolutely sweet FA to affect the game last night. Just some amateur linesman

  12. Watched the game last night, from a neutrals view and by god were arbroath unlucky, First half could have quite easily been 3-0 arbroath. The centre half obrien could have scored two worldies, has some ping! I though on  the whole arbroath defended very doggedly, and had a very questionable goal wrongly ruled out. Partick really didnt offer very much for me, in the middle of the park especially. Even though kenny miller is approaching his 102nd birthday, he evidently still knows where the net is. Think caldwell must be early running favourite for the championship 'sack race' The sierra leone right back that played ahead of williamson i thought was running all over the place like a headless chicken, but MOM for me by a country mile was the goalkeeper fox. Very very early doors, and not one for making predictions regarding staying up/going down as my dunfermline have had a shocking start too. Gayfield is obviously a very difficult place to go,and arbroath will pick up points there. Lets see by the new year where teams lie. But judged on last night, i dont think its cut and dry for arbroath to go straight back down.
