Shout out to the miserable b*****ds that sit behind me in the Geo Fox lower who moaned about United for the full 90 minutes, even when we were three nil up and they’d watched Tony Watt bag a hatrick. God loves you but I do not. Perhaps we can have moaning section next to the singing section, as a kind of ying-yang type of experiment? Aside from that, enjoyed the game, Fotheringham really developing game by game. Sibald put in another great shift.

Fair play to Morton, they had a game plan to be physical and get in our faces and it certainly worked in the second half. We had good composure in the first, but the second it didn’t click, and with all the nonsense happening in the penalty box, we lost the head and got a man sent off. It’ says something when Goodwin is telling them to calm down. Also conceded a comedy goal. Must work harder to kill of games and be more ruthless. Positives - great ball in and finish for our goal. More of that please.

Excellent advice all round there. Ta. I’ll try to get there really early and pick up some smokies as well. maybe a fish supper before the game too. All the delights that Arbroath can offer. Still fancy a United win.

Looking forward to this where’s best to park ? Was disinterested in the cup games, for me it’s all about promotion. Lots of encouraging chat about an actual team of footballers working together so fingers crossed it’s United that do that and not Arbroath. 2-1 United.

I’d say more frustration and anger than apathy. There’s massive pressure on the manager and the team already. No real sense that we have a finished product yet and that progress is being made. Can’t see who is going to step up and be a big player for us this season.

There’s also the issue that a number of players have just shat it. Not up for the fight and unable to deal with the situation that hey have created for themselves. Poor leadership on the field and no one wanting to take responsibility. A worse squad than the one that got us relegated last time?

A must not lose game for United. Anything we get from this will help us. High tempo and focus from the get go.

Giving Niskanen more game time to help improve his chances at scoring sitters? Worth a try.

Liam Fox’s tactics of don’t blame the players, blame me, clearly didn’t work with regards to motivation, so I think Goodwin should do the opposite and name and shame the wanks that aren’t pulling their weight. He has nothing to loose and any player with an ounce of professionalism will get their act together to avoid the public shame . The others can get benched and booed at half time when they warm up.

An experienced manager who is credible and has a record of success would be able to facedown the shite bags in the squad. Who has that pedigree that would also want to work under Ashgar? Can’t see it happening. suspect it will be Mulgrew.

The defence don’t trust the keeper/s to do their job and vice a versa. Massive issue, to be added to the list of all the other issues we have at the mo.

Johnnydun- More Bullshit, Again!

No chance pal, you’re not strategic enough in your strategy. Dundee United - only for those with an MBA

Changing the mood a little , re Ogren getting his money back. Over a few years (2011- 2015, I think ) we sold Russell £750k Goodwillie £2million Armstrong can’t remember Mackay-Stevens can’t remember Chifci £1 m? Gauld £2 million ? Robertson £ 2 million ? The later with ad ons Can’t be arsed looking up the exact figures but you get my point. It can be done.

Say he manages only 5 points from the opening 9 matches. I imagine we’d be stuck at the bottom of the table, and the owners would be flying in for crisis talks. Not unrealistic, as that performance is what got McNamara the sack. Who knows? Hopefully he’ll mastermind a decent start which will settle all of our nerves.
