Guest DAVIDB69 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 This is a big one by irn bru standards , for a few reasons. Biggest game since the introduction of Irish and Welsh clubs , the biggest Scottish team in the tournament . So needs to be won comfortably by united for Scottish football credibility. The side show with rangers fans , already booking busses through . The no love lost between united and rangers . This is a risky one for police and I can actually see it being made all ticket . I do think there could be 10000 at the game though which will do the tournament good in the long run. I can see it being a 1330 kick off on the Sunday with the Scotland game following Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Berk Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Optimistic for 10K, but I'm sure it'll generate a lot of interest and a big crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dundee Hibernian Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Not a chance in hell of having a five figure crowd. Any United fan I know won't be anywhere near the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chazas_ Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Hopefully we can maintain our awful attendance records in this competition. Under 3k would be a solid performance. 4k pushing it. Anywhere near 5k is shameful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I didn't go to any games in this competition last season because it's a useless competition, however I have attended the two games this season so far because: a) Ray made it clear he would play young lads and other players not getting a first team start and/or needing to keep their fitness levels up, and b) the games were at home. The Alloa game was dire and not an encouragement to attend further games. I don't see the crowd here being any bigger than the last time around.

Big Berk Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 A lot depends on what kind of team McKinnon puts out, whether its fringe players like he did last year or his full team. If its the latter I think it's likely to be a straightforward win by a couple of goals. I hope Linfield have a good go, they did well enough at Palmerston last year and by all accounts are stronger now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would expect United to be favourites if both sides were fielding full-strength line-ups, but I am convinced Sir David will field fringe players and those coming back from injury, leading to a very comfortable Arab victory. I would prefer it if we took this competition seriously and gave it our all, but I can also understand why we do this. The European money on offer is, in IL terms, every bit as important to us as the £30 million Celtic are reputed to earn is to them. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So mods' remits now cover the quality of discussion on a thread? Didn't see much wrong other than a few WUMs making deliberately provocative statements and a few thickos biting. I also think the type of scumbag this match will attract is utterly pertinent to discussions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so much the quality, more the pointless mud-slinging and name-calling that would put off anybody wanting to actually discuss the match.
