ShaggerG Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Just had a wee keek at the DU thread and most of them seem to think that they played quite well last night. Maybe we're not as far away as we think? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No loans at all so far but I can't see us going without any considering how mcglynn has used them throughout his career. Once the cup is out the way teams will have sorted their squads out a bit more and players will start to become available.

The pundits last night on the radio thought we were decent and should be favourites for league one this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely time for the club to try and stamp it out - might actually be an opportunity to do so now that there is some kind of organised group. In particular, since Norrie McCathie condemned the Par's fans who racially abused Richard Cadette. No place for that whether in a football ground or on the street. Once they start getting ejected and banned for life it will soon stop, After all, they would be no great loss 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 I'm amazed if any Dundee United fans think that was a good performance from them last night. A couple of players aside eg Sibbald, they looked very ordinary indeed Although they created a few chances they also got some massive let offs from the referee and from our own poor finishing. Not to mention the hilarious error they scored their goal from when we were on top. Probably an improvement on getting beaten by Spartans but they were certainly no where near as good as the Dundee side last season who cruised it against us and won the league (though with just 63 points) which you would have to imagine is their aim. If they don't sign some more quality they won't be going up this year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blame Me Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 18 minutes ago, Bairnardo said: Yeah, piped up once. I am fairly certain it was only once. I won't bother naming the song that was sung. Given that this section is being done in conjunction with, and with the support of the club, then for me the club should be pulling them in and telling them there will be no support offered to the section if that shite continues. If it happened you'd think it would be fed back to the club via the channels they've made available and nipped-in-the-bud. I'd have thought It would've been discussed at the outset between U1876 and the club that certain songs, banners or behaviours that potentially brought the club into disrepute would be frowned upon. A lot of goodwill towards this initiative that can quickly be lost which would be a shame. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Kinnear Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 McGlynn could eradicate most of our mistakes simply, just tell the defenders if they can safely play the ball about the back that’s fine, if they can’t then there’s no shame in booting it to f**k. I’m nae Pep but it’s as easy as that for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 1 hour ago, Blame Me said: Having watched the replay it looks like the ball spun back just as Ageyman was about to pull the trigger. I'll absolve him of dithering and upgrade it to "unlucky". Impressed with MacIver and think the plan is he will bring the others into play and be the focal point. Requires Ageyman and Morrison to capitalise more often on the flick-ons so really need them to not be as unlucky and clinical. Should have hit it first time. I was positioned in line with him and just expected him to curl it in to the keepers left. Players should be able to adjust to the spin of the ball particularly when it’s lying flat on the ground. I don’t hold too much against him though as tried like an ox and created a lot of his own chances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said this after the first game at EEP last season but there's absolutely no need for those kind of songs being sung and most of those who are singing them weren't even born when he died. I don't care if Dunfermline fans are singing songs about deceased Falkirk players, we can only deal with our own idiots It's at times like that that you remember how many of our fans are utter dicks 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numbers_One_To_Eleven Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Any chance of getting an Andy Nicol podcast on Walking Down Hope Street? He’s just been added to the legends and is he not an ambassador of the club now? Surprised it’s not been done before now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Spencer will help eradicate it as there wasn't anywhere near as much of it against Partick, McGinn's not mobile enough to shift around and take the ball off the defence. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balde Bairn Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 I remember passing a ball across the goal when I was younger and got an absolutely bollocking from coaches and never did it again. Football changed a lot but that was criminal from lang attempting that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin ritchie Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Its easy to blame the norrie chants on 13-15year olds but we've all been on supporters buses, in pubs or at train station where it's guys older than teenagers (well kent faces) who are just as involved. I remember a few non regulars tried a chant on the Elliot bus a couple years back and were swiftly told to 'shut the f**k up'. We can't complain about the scummy old firm fans if our own support is just as bad. The board need to do something about it or could the podcast guys highlight it to get a bit of conversation going amongst a broader section of fans to help stamp it out 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
