  1. Seen on another forum that Gallagher, Holt and McMann are all out, if true is there any chance of getting Dundees ground staff in to f**k up our pitch before Saturday
  2. Name a striker with the physique and body strength of a 12 year old schoolgirl?
  3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=124I9Ps2Ow0
  4. Think Utd have made a bit of a c**t of this tbh. Should have kept the shed for ourselves with reduced ticket costs to try to get the place jumping, give the Raith fans the Fair play and Jerry Kerr if needed. Giving the shed to Raith at a reduced capacity is just stupid, the difference in noise between 1900 fans and 1300 fired up fans will be minimal and the excuse of a larger segregation section is a load of bollocks as we never did this in the top flight against teams with far scummier fans than Raith, all we've done is reduce our ticket income.
  5. Both teams desperate for points for very different reasons. Utd need to go back to the team/formation that picked up so many points early in the season and hope our misfiring/lazy b*****d forwards can up their game. Walton Grimshaw Gallagher Holt McMann Thomson Docherty Sibbald Middleton Watt Moult Nothing less than 3 points will do.
  6. Anyone heard anything regarding a sponsorship deal for renaming Tannadice? @Fife Arab any info?
  7. Time for Graham to finally atone for his Parkhead miss, put Raith to the sword and all will be forgiven.
  8. If Docherty stays fit we win this league, such a difference when he plays, a proper captain and always trying to organise the team as well as being very good at taking the ball off of the defenders to start attacking moves. Sibbald (MOM yesterday for me) is also a far better player when playing with Docherty as he has more freedom to get around the pitch getting stuck in knowing that Docherty is holding his position behind him.
  9. That was a brutal watch but I can’t remember the last time we got dragged into a battle and come out on top, great 3 points and more like the effort required when games aren’t going our way.
  10. At half time I was wondering if Goodwin had lost the dressing room as the players looked like they had chucked it, the lack of effort in that first half was appalling. Recently our subs seemed to have had a negative effect but today they helped change the game with Moult eventually getting the equaliser despite having a horrendous game. We don’t seem to have a single attacking player in any sort of form at the moment which is obviously a huge concern but Middleton seems to take shittyness to a whole new level and surely can’t start the next game, don’t know if it’s a confidence thing or if there’s more to it but you would never believe he’s top of the assists chart if you had watched any recent games. A point away to thistle is not the worst result but that first half performance was very worrying.
  11. You are aware that prior to the last 2 games he has spent his whole career as an attacking player. Not desperate to move him from right back just struggling to fill the attacking roles due to the form of Middleton and Fotheringham.
  12. I hope we go back to 2 up top for this one, the setup in the last game was a shambles. Walton Grimshaw Gallagher Graham McMann Cudjoe Tilson Sibbald Thomson Moult Watt After his last performance Watt doesn't really deserve a starting place but the only other option is Grieve who doesn't really look like scoring. Middleton and Fotheringham have been poor recently so maybe try Thomson further up the park and let Grimshaw just sit on Fitzpatrick. I head through more in hope than expectation.
  13. Turned into a bit of a sick note unfortunately, has now missed more league games than he has played which is a problem as we are a far better team with him in it. Also our captain and we really miss his leadership on the pitch as in his absence Tony Watt is captain which is a debatable choice to say the least.
  14. Goodwin completely to blame for that tonight. It was clear the shape wasn’t working from midway through the first half and should have been changed at half time at the very least (along with a couple of players), poor substitutions again (to lose a goal then bring Grimshaw on to play the same role as Meekison was is absolutely baffling) and how Middleton lasts the full game really needs some explaining. Why o fucking why was Middleton back on corners? Thomson put in some great deliveries last game but doesn’t take one until about 15 minutes from the end where Gallagher wins the header and should perhaps do better.
  15. Bold move to bring Birighitti back in after Waltons howler at the weekend and will Pawletts loan move go through in time for tomorrows game
  16. If true then hopefully someone who can play on the left to offer some competition for Middleton
  17. Grimshaw will continue to be first choice with Thomson and McClelland as emergency options I would guess
  18. Much like the game at Tannadice when a draw is probably a fair reflection on the game a wonderstike gets the 3 points. Felt the subbies had a big impact on the game as Raiths gave them a lift and brought them back into the game whereas ours seemed to take the momentum out of our game. Certainly keeps the rest of the season interesting.
  19. A couple of decent corners tonight but our crossing from open play is fucking horrific
  20. Tully reporting that we will bank a £500k fee from Behich moving to Saudi as we inserted a 50% sell on clause when letting him return to oz. Stunning bit of business for a 33 year old full back who wasn’t that great at defending.
  21. Great result in the end today which is obviously the most important thing and we are not going to steamroller teams every week but I feel Goodwin has us playing far more negatively recently than we were earlier in the season. We started the season playing a high pressure pressing game and eventually we started playing with Watt and Moult as more of a pair and we were scoring for fun, the pressing game has gone recently and been replaced with a slow ponderous build up. The last few games have seen us back to having 1 isolated striker with very little support. Part of the problem is that the form of our various attackers has dropped but I can’t help but think if Goodwin was a bit more positive then there would be a better chance of them rediscovering their early season form.
