Must say, against us anyway, I’ve not really understood the hype over Sibbald. Booted lumps out our players in a couple of the games. More impressed with Docherty and the effect he has on the team when he isn’t in it. Takes the game by the scruff of the neck and can dictate it. Other players of note that I’ve quite liked the look of who have played in that deeper midfield role: O’too - Pars. McMaster - Airdrie. Shame Scott Brown has played large chunks of the season at centre half or he probably could have ended up there. Think each of our CDM type players have all had decent wee spells/run of games but maybe not quite merit being in the TOTS.

Get a scran before you get in the ground - don’t give these rats another penny (the United board that is - majority of the fans have been decent re ticket gate).

Remember lads get a scran before you go into the ground! Don’t give these fuckers another penny!

I’m actually astounded, I’ve left him out myself. Edited now and therefore can’t see anything other than the 4-1-3-2!

Really looking forward to this now as it kick off looms! Wee jaunt up on the train and hopefully grab a few beers on route up the hill. I think it’ll be cagey and I think we’ll sit back at times and try hit on the counter, but also maybe see us have a go as the game goes on. I personally think we have a far stronger bench and better game changers on the bench than United, even more so with the couple of wee injuries they have picked up. Line up prediction: Dabrowski J Brown S Brown Murray Dick Matthews Mullin Stanton Easton Vaughan Rudden Watson could easily start alongside Murray which could push Broony back into the middle of the park. Kids get into any the boozers near or around the ground? Edited - how could I forget super Sam Stanton!

I actually think it’s not too bad considering the price of a 3 course scran is anywhere you go - Chuck in a few jars too. Fairly reasonable. Have plans that weekend already or would have been all over it!

We need a tennis ballesque scenario here. Announce rubber chicken protest.

Thanks lads for the big bill for damages on top of the 12 points lads! Sent tonight from someone who works at the club…

Sent by a mate tonight who works at the club. They’ve absolutely wrecked the North Stand toilets and some of the seats. Thousands of pounds worth of damage.

Well lads, the incident at East End we were told the laddies had nothing to do with Northwest and “not Pars fans”. Unfortunately I doubt you can deny this or deflect away from any of this. Sent to me tonight by someone who works at the club. Thanks for the thousands of pounds worth of damage on top of the 12 points!

Speaking to a few mates who are Pars fans, the last few occasions they have booked out O’Connells on the high street. I seriously don’t understand why the police wouldn’t guide them up by the Abbotshall and up to the away end as opposed to walking right along Links Street and past the home end. Not that it should be happening anyway but it’s a recipe for chaos.

No here to gloat but wtf is that Myles c**t doing at the second goal? pea hearted c**t - hang your head in shame

Watching the highlights back… Wonder if this @North West helmet will try deflect on the same levels where, the area he promotes, batters vulnerable people and that Myles c**t ducking like John Prescott being egged, for the second goal. hang your head in shame, wtf is he doing

We weren’t even great and still won easy. been getting told all week about how good the boy Todd is and KRH. both done f**k all - murder.

Sore one to take that last night, like others, really has me questioning whether we have the balls to last the distance. We absolutely crumbled in that second half. Momentum is a great thing in football at any level, for the first hour or so we were in complete control of that game and probably should have been out of sight in the first half. Then up pop’s the boy Bird with a cracking finish out of nowhere really. This gave the hosts a massive lift. Big Kev poor at the equaliser - not commanding enough and it’s as if he jamp straight in the air as opposed to towards the ball allowing McIntosh to nip in. The winner could have been dealt with better, we fail to clear our lines and a fizzed attempt finds Stowe at the back post unmarked (looked offside where I was stood behind the goal and haven’t watched back yet)and he tucks away. The wind did appear to pick up a little in the second half and there was wee moment of torrential rain for a minute or two - but that’s no excuse. Arbroath got back into the game and their tails up and we crumbled it’s as simple as that. If Ashcroft and Watson are now gubbed for a few weeks then I fear that’s us gubbed. Well done to Arbroath considering the hammering they took during the week, it’s a funny old league and tbh I still think are twists and turns along the way. This result will now have a few at the bottom looking over their shoulder and it means near enough every point is precious at the moment for the whole league with 10 games to play - probably a better scenario for us in honesty, because at the moment us or United don’t look like we want to win it on our own accords.

I thought Hamilton done alright on Tuesday but was rather isolated again. Would like to see us try Hamilton and Rudden together too at some point with Vaughan just off the pair. Although I think it’ll be Rudden and Vaughan again tonight.

With the shape The Pars play, Millen would probably do a turn for you as a right wing back. He’s decent technically, good crosser of the ball and effective with set pieces/penalties. Nout to do with what’s going on, but I’ve always been sceptic of his defensive capabilities and have argued until I’m blue in the face with many. He’s not the quickest, and not the greatest physically - has a cynical side in him we’re hell take a yellow for the team. But for the height of the guy, he’s brutal in the air and he’d often not even compete for headers or turn his back on them and that infuriates the life out of me.

An article come out the other day but it was a bit misleading - was titled the above, but it more or less said that he wouldn’t be getting a new deal in the summer so free to go. However, whatever has happened, if it’s that bad, then I’d have thought we’d maybe have looked to put him out on loan.

We just have to try keep ticking along for the final 11 games - can see many twists and turns along the way as teams battle to get into and avoid play off spots. We have a chance to apply some pressure on Friday night if we can pick up 3 points and United visiting a Partick side who will be looking to put and end to their slump.

We were poor tonight in all honesty and probably is a no bad point in the end. Morton are a big and physical side and play to their strengths. The long throws are an absolute weapon, and with the likes of Muirhead they are always going to have a threat. Thought our back line defended really well, considering set plays are our Achilles heel - and Strapps throw ins are just like a corner. Apparently Andy Millen and John Potter were at one another, rather heatedly at the top of the stairs as folk were exiting - one can only assume it’s regarding Ross’ exclusion from the squad. Fair play to the Morton support on the night who travelled up - hopefully you can take some points off United at Cappielow next week.

Well there was about 13 bookings all in and I recall Watson and Oakley having to be pulled apart after handbags at a corner - which continued down the tunnel at half time.

Fucking hell I can feel the seethe vibrating through my phone reading that. Does Dougie write that himself?

Sometimes it’s better just to say f**k all. Baffles me how sections of our support still find ways to moan when we’re riding a crest of a wave

If anyone’s looking for a good laugh then have a trawl through X to the replies to Big Jack’s tackle. I genuinely don’t think I’ve seen a more rattled set of fans in my life. Announce admin 5 year deal.

He’s genuinely up there as one of the biggest wanks in the game. Countless times he goes down at the slightest touch, you can see him lining it up - constantly in refs faces, involved at every incident. Laughed in Big Kev’s face at the equaliser like a genuine w**k. Hope he enjoyed his eggs this morning anyway.
