diegomarahenry Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Good game, Shankland and McDaid could have had hat-tricks within 20min of their respective starts. Dundee United looked dreadful in defence, McMullen looks a decent player, Fyvie played the midfield nuisance roll well but couldn't do anything creative and despite a 20min spell after half time offered very going forward. Kerr, Adams and Bell were outstanding, we made plenty of mistakes that could have cost us against other teams on other days. A draw or win away to Ross County would be a phenomenal result and an end to a great first quarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurst, Teale and Walker. Back in the days of 10 team SPL, so unbelievably, the Championship was even more cut throat than it is now. Hibs spent crazy money that year. Sauzee and Latapy must have been on at least 5k a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted October 6, 2018 Author Share Posted October 6, 2018 I’d have said out four best players were Kerr, Adams, Bell and ... wait for it ... Andy Geggan. Funny that considering all 4 were written off as past it by other fans. Think McDaid has probably done enough to warrant a starting spot now so I’d maybe have him in for the trip to Dingwall but apart from that I’d be happy with the same line up.

diegomarahenry Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Noticed a Dundee United fan getting put out by about five stewards, kind of bizarre to see, not as bizarre as the steward landing a flying jab on an Airdrie fan a few years ago though. Any idea what it was for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well... yes, but they get priority and his camera would naturally lend him to standing in my way. It was a difficult day due to the bright sunlight/shadow so I missed McDaid's shot hitting the crossbar (I assume?) and very nearly his goal. Flat overcast skies make it easier for me, but would we be getting 2500+ crowds? I'll take the crowds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrmad Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Most of it's been covered but I thought Kerr was a level above today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the 2nd goal I thought we were going for the killer pass a bit quick, but that's what has been doing it for us this season - some fairly staid centre halfs are getting turned around.

Taz Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 There was hardly many large gaps in terracing i noticed. Behind goal was packed and so was along edge of pitch, previously its either one or the other. Are clubs taxed on official attendances... There are 1,500 seats there, and we filled out our corner too.Agree definitely felt and looked a good bit more. Something not quite right IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somerset Dreaming Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 My word Dundee United are JobbyWe weren't particularly good today to be fair and still strolled it. Dundee United could've played for a week and not score.Mark Kerr was simply exceptional. Ran the show in the middle of the park. Pleasing Steven Bell got the sponsors man of the match. I was worried pre season having to rely on him but he's proved me wrong.Wee Ayr United eh, team playing with midfielders in centre defense and top of the league. Pleasing Totally agree re Kerr, guy strolled it today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumper Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Definite handball at any rate. Fifteen points off the danger zone eight games in. Eight points of buffer in the playoffs. Fucking magnificent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit more composure and we would have been out of sight, I didn't think we were at our best but we cruised to a 2 nil victory against a side with a budget we can only dream of.

AUcal Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 We have played better but we were comfortable enough. Mark Kerr was magnificent, completely strolled the midfield. Should have scored a couple more but can't be too picky.Also agree that there seemed around 3 thousand at the game, was surprised at official attendance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvies reaction gives it away, I missed that at the time. As you say, 15 points clear of the bottom two and comfortably in the top 4. Its unreal actually. Long may it continue...
