stumigoo Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Whilst I know we can never, ever be anywhere near the level of football on show tonight I would absolutely fucking love for a United side to play with a high press whilst being really direct and aggressive both on and off the ball. I actually think done properly it is the type of tactic that would work in most Scottish games and in some ways it is the type of game that St.Mirren have played for much of this season. If you can out run and out muscle your opposition and have two or three players with a bit of quality then you are 90% of the way there. Laszlo's ridiculously basic and boring brand of football is going to get us nowhere. You can but dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the game at Motherwell (at a time the home team were quite high up the table) when we played incredible high pressing football and won 4-0. To his credit, Stuart McColl, the then Motherwell manager, called it the best performance by an away team he had seen at Fir Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shed a tear watching Gauld track their left back all the way into the corner, nick the ball of him and the goal that followed... Seems like 20 years ago.

Hank Scorpio Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Just read the interview Keatings gave about his mental health issues - well done to him for being so brave and going public with it. Hope he gets the help he needs, and well done to Dundee Utd for being so understanding and helpful in his recovery. Really wish him all the best, great Championship level player on his day.

I read somewhere that he is due to play against Sporting in the Portuguese Cup Final in May, for the club he is loaned to. Wonder what it'll do for his Sporting career if he scores the winner against them???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Gauld’s move at the time was exactly the right thing to do; I was convinced his style of play would suit the continental game. However it has not worked out and I think he needs to look at a move that can kickstart his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
