Firstly, congratulations to ICT; totally deserved win and good luck for the rest of the competition.

ICT played us perfectly today and we hardly played any football until McMullan came on.  We had to many players that simply didn’t offer enough; Pawlett should have been subbied and Fyvie was awful.

The worst United performance for a while and we will need to improve for the remainder of the league campaign.

It was a bit gutting to lose a goal so late but I’m not too bothered about not having a replay and the possibility of even more games.  I was never the priority.

 

Glad you finally realise this.

Thanks Kinc.

You won't be saying that when we knock you out in the semis. 

(failing that, in the final)

The gods are definitely on our side today.  That and the brown envelope I passed to McLean in the car park.

Michael Gardyne, this is for you pal.

If you could possibly school a few more of our players before the semi final that would be great chief!!

What's with goading the home fans straight after the ball hitting the net? Usually celebrate after scoring, hillarious reaction when chopped off too.

Chalked off!

Steven Thompson saying that it was a penalty 

He said that because there was 'contact' it means it's a penalty, which of course has never been a rule.

Yes.

By that logic, every single time that opposing players touch each other, a foul needs to be given.  

It's ludicrous.

Indeed. It's just folk who cheated trying to justify cheating.

Im so fed up of 42(ish)           3            1. We really need to start playing a formation that means we dont fucking blooter it constantly at Safranko. Who is on his own. As usual. Or blooter it out of the pitch because our defenders cant pass the ball forwards, or, because by the time they eventually look up there is an opposition player charging them.

 

Oh, and f**k off Nielson.  Seriously bored of this shit now. 

 

Eta, im not bothered by going out of the cup, im bothered about the complete lack of ideas shown by Nielson since he came in. Two up front would have been nice to see at home in a cup tie. You know, at least try to score a goal from open play.

He is a fraud from the Riccarton school of them. Add Hartley and Pressley to the list.

Safranko must be getting pissed off with the lack of service and support.  He still puts in a huge amount of effort every game but I’m worried the frustration will show soon.

Considering the penalty Hibs got against us, that's literally where the game is.

It's not though is it?

There will be literally hundreds of occasions in any football match where opposing players physically contact each other.  Fouls aren't (and shouldn't be) given for nearly all of them.

And McKinnon. And Mixu. And Mcnafortune. I seriously am fed up of managers that have a degree in Football Manager 2013. And a "philosophy".

No plan A never mind plan B. Same formation with an attacking midfielder on each wing and an isolated striker. Playing possession football. 

Football is a simple game. Attack, score goals and attempt to win. Its not fucking chess.

It's Neilson btw.

Nearly went over the ET upper stand when that Doran header went in. Superb scenes at the end with Donaldson getting it right up The Shed. Enormously pleasing afternoon.

I remember saying at the time we were looking at bringing in Neilson that i felt alot of his success at Hertz was based on Levein.

Looks like it was the case.

And yes, awful typo.

[Accies88]

Cheered like mad when ICT won it . Did you all know Dundee Utd are a huge club who deserved to win this game ?. They really need to be loosing games in the Premiership because there so big. 

[DA Baracus]

How do you 'loose' a game?

[Sarto Mutiny]

Losing a winning goal in stoppage time often feels unlucky, but not today. We were abject for 70 minutes, and were only in the game due to a borderline offside decision and a seriously soft penalty. Dive aside, McMullan was good. Fyvie was desperately poor, and I fear that injuries have caught up with him. He seemed to be the scapegoat of choice, which given his injuries makes me rather uncomfortable. Gomis was every bit as bad when he came on, but he seems to get a free pass from a large section of our support.
