DeeBairn Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 One other thing to add, he's a vocal player at times. If he's being played out of position and it's not going well and you guys get on his back, he'll need to be well managed by AJ or he may well chuck the dummy again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkirk_Bairn_1983 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Dundee Utd v Dunfermline looks a very interesting season opener. A wee bet on Dunfermline could be in order, though I'd be collecting my winnings through gritted teeth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubbychops Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Every time we go into a game with United, we look like the team in form but for whatever reason we fluff our lines every time. Terrible record in our matches against the worst United team in my lifetime. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smpar Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Fair to say we won’t be seeing Hippolyte our wide unless we revert to a 4-4-2 or something similar. He’ll play as a striker but it’ll be a constant four way battle between himself, Faiss, Louis and Andy Ryan for the striker positions. Callum Smith and Lewis McCann won’t be easily pushed aside by the looks of things either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 500 Pars fans so not a bad turn out. Bobby Madden, his shaking of the head and smiling at the Pars support got the fans a bit hot under the collar. He's a dick. Did similar to us a couple of years ago when he awarded St Johnstone 3 penalties in the 1st half. Got booed of at half time (which you would expect) but instead of getting inside pronto he strolled off, staring us out as he went. Agree, he is a dick! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A front two of Longridge and Hippo would see you in League One. Honestly, they'd get a goal between them every 3 games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 The fact Andy Ryan so far this preseason/cup games was can’t get a start ahead of a schoolboy and two lads that aren’t strikers would suggest he’s not going to be partnering El Bak. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First of all, it was a brilliant challenge from the Dundee player and never a penalty. However, I also didn’t see what he gave Dundee a free kick for.I’ll be honest, I laughed at Madden standing next to the injured player, just grinning at the away fans and looking round, loving the attention he was getting. I couldn’t believe how outraged people were, that we didn’t get a penalty for a challenge where the defender won the ball so cleanly.I’ve never seen a referee do something like that. It does seem a bit unprofessional to intentionally wind the crowd up, but he was getting abuse, having made very few mistakes. But did he actually do much wrong? He wasn’t making gestures to the crowd or anything, just laughing off the ridiculous claims of our support. It just so happened that the incident and the injured player were right in front of our fans and he could hear all of the shouts quite clearly, from where he was standing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasn't he been carrying a knock? Think he should have came on sooner yesterday but Longridge and Hippolyte's movement were causing Dundee a few problems even late on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just reminds me a bit of the Hopkin signing. I like him - can’t knock his goals to minutes ratio - and if he is carrying a knock then fair enough. Been a bit of a stop-start career for him so far at East End. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All-Star-Par Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Hopkin would certainly be an able replacement for Nats bulk in the middle of the pitch. Look forward to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was 50/50. Hopkin/Hopkrirk. Should have gone for "Hoppy" but in the world of abominable footballer nicknames that was a real standout. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the TV it showed that the defender didn't get the ball if it's the same incident I'm thinking off, free kick was because we had two players offside. Chris Sutton and Craigan agreed that if he hadn't been offside it would've been a penalty though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a blue nose that panicked when the SFA asked what team he supported. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect neither were giving a shite though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
