This afternoon was certainly cack - but let me assure all you QOS fans - compared to Pars v Accies last weekend, this afternoon's entertainment was like an El Clasico.

To me, it looked more as if the pair of them started with injuries.

I don't mean to state the obvious, but pretty much every set of fans in the country are "desp for achievement efter years in the doldrums". I could probably exclude St Johnstone followers here.

The best derby in Scotland - United v Dundee Certainly the best in Dundee - after the Lochee one, of course.

Nah got changed to 60th Ah right. Thanks.

Walk-out was supposed to happen in the fourth minute, was it not?

Yes - I thought it was as good a 0-0 as I have seen for some time. The Pars' back 4 looked (mostly) solid, Dorrance came onto a game (after a poor first-half) and Kennedy always looked like he may create something. Todorov and Wighton each missed good opportunities - but I suppose if they were quality enough to put those types of chances away every time, they would both probably still be at Tynecastle. A definite improvement on the Somerset Shit-Fest.

Try anything once.

I never liked Dick Emery.

You missed oot......aw, naw ye didnae.

Nah - the man is right - lazy research is lazy research.

Always happy to be corrected.

My photies will be nowhere as good, but I am unbiased: https://ian38018.blogspot.com/2021/08/new-central-park.html

Thanks, sir.

Good to encounter a fellow-wanderer. I have ticked off all the Scottish grounds some time ago, with about half-a-dozen left of the English ones. Here was my Turf Moor visit, which you may (or may not) find of interest: http://ian38018.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2011-06-10T11%3A35%3A00%2B01%3A00&max-results=1

Exactly.........but without the teeth.

You could park just off London Road. It is a pleasant walk from there, and you can generally find a friendly local willing to look after your car for you.

My neighbour's four-year old grandson can fair smack a ball.

His only defence (no pun intended) is that Clarke told him to position himself so high, to allow the centre-backs to occasionally get forward.

Well, i am with you on that. The point I was sorta making, is: We are not gonna win this thing, so lets have some fun. A bold 4-4-2 was required this afternoon.

Sorry to be the bearer.......but we fucking are.

Anyone shocked at the size of crowd announced? 9,800 or something similar. Which meant the place was a good 2,000 shy of what we were told was the max allowed. I had work colleagues who had their tickets pinched back off them by Uefa.

We used up all our good luck getting to the finals.

C'mom folks - we are a third rate side, who just lost to a second rate one. Just imagine how crap this afternoon would have been, sitting in Hampden watching Serbia v Czech Rep. Just enjoy being at the party, however briefly.

Except the stuff here is true
