That’s exactly why they shouldn’t give any updates.
This is nonsense

This is correct

Hylton did really well for us, and I'm sad to see him go. Presumably the club will put up a thanks and goodbye message. I've seen some chat on the internet about him going to Hamilton...surely not? Surely he could have his pick of the championship or even lower SPL?
He’ll go too, whoever pays the most, simples

It would be nice if we got a more up to date squad update regarding the guys that are out,
If Hylton is away then surely there is someone lined up to replace him or has been hurried up after the incident with Bird
Knowing how long they would be out, would be nice

It's hard but until we are able to get reinforcements in our hands are tied. Boys playing out of position all over the shop, low on confidence, knowing that if they go over their ankle at the wrong time the sub goalie might have to come on outfield. Hopefully we can get at least 2 in this week and kick on from there. I didn't go today, how was the new lad Walker at right back?
Much improvement required for Walker

Absolutely positioning was awful

I feel your pain - but nothing worse than being having your comments twisted and taken out of context.
If you did feel his pain, possibly a period of silence from yourself, might be in order
tbf, I do have liked the VT post, and feel I’ll never be able to wash away the stench

17 Games left. 21 points absolute minimum required to survive. Very possible with anything near a full squad available. BUT.
Seems an impossibility at the moment

Poor dick was just running out of steam and it was time to go , I honestly didn’t like McIntyre would ever get another go after his time at dens and cove , I wouldn’t put him in charge of a primary school team ,
Look I know you don’t have a game the day, and you don’t rate McIntyre, do us a favour, and f**k off to you’re own league

I’d have us at a 4 or 5 tbh.
Can’t lose three derbies, collect 23 points from 18 games and say we’re doing better than average.
Considering they have only lost one game and have conceded just SEVEN goals, it’s remarkable that United are not top of the table. Of course, they win their game in hand and they would be 1st but still only on goal difference.
Where did you expect to be?

Hopeful of getting one in before Saturday

Struggled to get game time at Forfar - so can't see this happening, plus he can only to to lowland or Highland league team according to loan rules I believe ( I could be wrong about that - others with better knowledge might confirm) ?
Was he no on the bench on Tuesday?

Yes considering where Campbell left us and also an unbelievable run of injurys, Plus dropping 6 points to QP. There's a Long way to go.
Absolutely

Tbf, after some of our results and performances this season, to still be in with more than a decent chance of staying up, I’ll take that

Latest name I’ve heard rumoured is Rory McLeod just been recalled by UTD from his loan at Forfar. He’s highly rated but not sure how he got on at Forfar. Can play anywhere across the front 3 im sure

Ever year we have been in this league teams at the bottom have taken points off the top teams so these games shouldn't just be written off.
Never said write them off, just being realistic, there is very little between bottom and 4th, probably going to need 7 or 8 wins, to be secure, I know where there is more chance of getting them

Frustrating that we have been putting in decent performances but been completely hampered by having so many players out/playing out of position. Have to admit was slightly concerned with Innes Murray, he looked pretty unfit. Can't afford to be carrying players like that in the championship. Hopefully we can get some new players in asap and convert these good performances into points on the board.
Once more, these are not the games, that really matter, it’s getting wins against ICT, QP, Morton, Dunfermline, Ayr and Airdrie and possibly nicking the odd point against the other three, that’s where survival will come from

Will we have anyone left alive? New signing Innes Murray looked absolutely done in after an hour of that match and could barely run, Hamilton really shouldn't be playing with a broken toe, and Slater was holding his shoulder and wincing for most of the last 20 minutes.
Ken, canna believe Slater stayed on to save United from Adams

Stand corrected
37 minutes ago, D'Jaffo said:That can apply but in the cases where we’ve had Hopkin, Duffy and now Bullen it doesn’t apply. A change is clearly needed here. Whether we sack him or not, he’s 99% away in the summer so we’re better making a change now so we can plan more effectively for next season.
My opinion is that Bullen has done a good job at the club. We were massively on the slide prior to his arrival and he steadied it and gave us a platform last season that we really should’ve kicked on from. Unfortunately he, and the powers that be have made a bit of an arse of things this season and I don’t think there’s a single Ayr fan left that reckons he’s going to be able to take us forward. If he was to walk now I think he’d go with a wee bit of credibility left. Simply for our second place finish last season. If he hangs on any longer then all he’ll be remembered for is the manger who bottled a lead in a Scottish Cup QF against League One opponents and who led us to an embarrassing display in the playoffs at Somerset.
If you’re asking who I’d like to replace him then I’d looking for someone with more experience in Scottish football with a bit more selling power. Inevitably you have to see who’s interested in the post and go from there.
Also this.
I support a team who made 40 years of terrible choices, very few better than the previous one, i feel you’re pain

Why is this the go to question for football fans when it’s suggested a manager is sacked?
As if the club can’t possibly get someone better in.
It’s the only question, as you know “the grass is never greener on the other side” or “better the devil you know”

When it went too 3.0 I was thinking this could turn into a mess. No doubt in my mind that Utd decide at that point to see the game out and comfortably did.
Which was strange as Moult on a hat trick

I see we have advertised for a GK coach, should we be concerned that the manager hasn’t been able to get one in?
