mcjameos Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Thought I would give this a go. Friday night game and it's on TV. United looking to bounce back after their first league defeat and Queen's looking increasingly unlikely win. Even if a new manager is appointed, not sure what can be done in the time available with the current squad. Can only see this going one way ........ home win 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider1975 Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Fortunately I'm working. Unfortunately I should be back in time to maybe catch the second half on TV. No question what the result will be (away win), only questions are a) how many will Utd win by, and b) whether QP could co-locate the cow's arse and banjo and actually score. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
an86 Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 If we were flying, this would be up there with the toughest games of the season. We are not flying. Can’t think of a less enjoyable period of watching Queen’s Park, including being guff in the bottom tier. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Already making plans for a very uncharacteristic lump on Dundee United -2 and -3. 1-0 Queen's Park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxinperu Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Really important game for United this. We are struggling to find any kind of form at the minute, with several players out of sorts and a real gap between promising moments being turned into goals. If we don’t win on Friday then, with the pressure of being biggest club, with most expensive squad who are expected to win the league….the wheels may fall off. There is a long way to go in the season, Raith may have a tough spell themselves, but in the immediate term we need to be winning every game in order to exert some pressure of our own. I’m hopeful that it all begins to click again and QP bear the brunt. As a minimum, Utd players need to look like they are prepared to run through walls and are peppering the opponent's goals on a regular basis. Need to see an urgency and hunger to win, rather than ‘the game will come to us in the end’. Given recent results (cups and Raith) I’m not sure the Utd crowd will show any kind of patience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxinperu Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 On an administrative note - what’s the deal with parking? Can you just pitch up and park in the spaces right in front of Hampden? I’m guessing there’ll be reasonable parking capacity for these games. Any charge? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardle is Magic Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Dropping points here would be unthinkable for United. They simply can’t afford to allow Rovers to increase their lead any further. Game in hand won’t feel very significant if you’re 7 or 8 points adrift. QP are in utter free fall though and haven’t won in the league for about four months. Should be a comfortable enough away win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuntiethumper Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 On the basis of current form I could see Utd scoring three or four and us struggling to get anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

United fans should use the part of the carpark accessed from Aitkenhead Road. The club will issue details later in the week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your idea of “on form” is significantly different from ours at this time. We can only dream of your worst level. Enjoy your night out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
an86 Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Thoughts on the game aside, it’s a shame this is on the Friday. Saturday afternoon would have seen a much healthier crowd. Many do United fans think you’ll bring? The vibe around the club couldn’t be more starkly different to this time last season. 4-1 win at Arbroath was one of the great away days of my time. Liquid football in a hurricane, liquid pints, Christmas time, Boateng and wine and Owen Coyle being serenaded at the end. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Shedboy Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 I was gutted when the fixtures were announced and this was so close to Christmas, and then moved to Friday night. I always hoped we'd draw QP at Hampden in one of the cups when we were going through the "Hampden Hoodoo", just for a decent chance to win a game at that Fkng stadium and a good Saturday away day. Hopefully, I'll manage the game in April Prediction scrappy 1-nil win for United. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeletar Spider Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 The best conceivable opponent for United to get back on track after losing last weekend. I'll be amazed if we're able to make a game of this at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
