The Dundee United Thread 22/23

I've never been so angry with a United player as I was with Birighitti today. What an absolute coward. Fucks up (twice because he shouldn't have passed the ball to Mulgrew in the first place) and then went down "injured" to save face.

His teammates were raging with him as well, and rightly so. He can never play for us again, surely?

And it's time for Fox to go to. I've heard from multiple sources that he's a lovely guy and he's well liked, but to be honest, does that matter if he can't win games and fails to light a fire under a team who look scared to take the ball forward?#

He's got to go, and Asghar has to go with him.

Plus point today was that Kai Fotheringham looks like a good player and we'll hopefully see more of him from now on.

Glad to see Kai hit the ground running on his return to DUFC.  Stirling fans were disappointed on his recall. I realise there is a huge gulf between Premier and League 2, but I feel he could make a difference to your season. While at Stirling the first 45 mins were normally his best. The last time I was so impressed with a loanee at Forthbank, was a guy called Snodgrass.

Birighitti should never have passed to Mulgrew.

Mulgrew should never have passed back to his weak feet.

Birighitti should never have taken a touch.

I know the reasons (and haven't seen the goal yet) but Mulgrew has won a good few more caps than Narey. Make of that what you will but the number of caps was given earlier as one of the reasons for following Mulgrew's orders.

If you're trying to claim Mulgrew is better than Dave Narey then you should put the Pritt Stick down.

Not at all, I'm old enough to have seen Narey play. Someone said the only person he should have passed to was Narey, someone else said he passed to Mulgrew because he's a coach and gave the number of caps he has along with his experience. Just pointing out the anomaly between the players and the number of caps considering the relative standard. I also said I understand the reasons why Mulgrew has more caps.

Anyway, too early in the evening for the pritt sticks!

That's OK then.

Clearly not, did you see the United keeper today?

Struggling to take any solace in the fact that other results went our way - but they did, so that, along with Fotheringham would be the only positives from that horror show.

Thought we had a lot possession and a lot of crosses into the box, yet for all that their keeper barely had a save to make. A different manager could quite possibly do something that team.

Birighitti must never play again for us. His mistake (he's been so casual with the ball at his feet for weeks now, it was inevitable he'd get caught out some time) was bad enough - but feigning injury to get taken off is the fkn pits!

One other (small beer compared to everything else) but the match programmes sold out today (way before kickoff too). My eight year old son has got every home programme from this season (and is doing the '83 sticker book) so if anyone is able to get me a spare I'd be very grateful

I mentioned caps and experience just to make the point that Mulgrew, and not for the first time this season, has fucked up. He has done this inspite of everything he has done in the 17 years since he made his debut. He is not the player he thinks he is and he is now one of the coaches at the club.

 

I didn't uuse it to make any other.insinuation other than the fact Mulgrew has had an absolute howler which has been exacerbated by the duffer from down under.

Birishitti should never have bought a pair of goalie gloves.

I've read that Birizwicki is out for the season with a dislocated shoulder. At least we have an experienced Backup keeper...

 

Wait....

 

This would be good as he wouldn't play any more and I reckon we'd be able to get an emergency loan keeper

I'm not saying Birighitti wasn't at fault, he clearly was as I said he needs to first time it clear , but Mulgrew has been at fault for a few issues this season and I believe not following Courts' instructions either. He seems to be getting an easy ride but they can both GTF.

Birighitti's international  career is vastly overstated. He has one cap and it was fecking years ago.

We can only hope that we can get someone in that has a clue, because we can all see where we are failing. We have more caos in the squad now than we have had for years and years. We've spent big on players. We don't need players we need a team! But surely to God there must be someone out there unntil the end of the season you can use what we've got rather than try to make them fit a system that is tacticlly inept from the start

Remember the absolute most dug shit of united ever keepers Kelham o'hanlon also was capped for his country.

I think Bitighitti must be the worst we’ve ever had.  The number of goals he’s cost us is ridiculous.

 

Hopefully a serious enough injury to allow us to get an emergency loan in.

 

The management of the club is embarrassing, crying out for a striker to come on today and we have nothing.

 

Dont know if I can watch any more of this shite.  Wish I didn’t have a season ticket but feel kind of obliged to keep going, even though I know it ruins my weekend and it’s inevitably ending in relegation.

You really can't take more than one or two positives out of that. One of those is that it's one result closer to the end of Fox, Crawford and Asghar.

Fotheringham is the only other positive I can really see. Seemed really comfortable considering it's his first Premiership outing this season after spending the other half of it in the fourth tier.

Bringing on Cudjoe in the 90' just felt like another Anaku vs Killie moment of Fox's absolutely incredible use of substitutes. I'm surprised he never tried to somehow swap Djoum and Sibbald despite both being on the park.

Asghar masterclass sending Eriksson out on loan which left us with one senior keeper (Can you really call him that anymore?) and Newman, who I wouldn't trust in nets for my team never mind a professional one.

Finally, Mulgrew shouldn't don a tangerine jersey again in his career.

Harry Lewis was fucking abominable too.

I've said this before, but Kawashima was significantly better than Birighitti. He just wasn't as good as the build-up and/or the situation required him to be.

All the others are correct, or at worst, equally awful

Not to mention Henrik Jorgensen. Way to spoil the party Henrik.

I'd probably have Erikson as No.1 of the bad No.1's but he's got some stiff competition.

Yeah, Kawashima was probably an okay keeper thrown into an absolute shitshow.

That’s a depressing list, still not convinced any were worse than the current clown.  Maybe Szromnik and Zwick.
