It's also a stupid argument that only the top flight should host big games or big teams.

It's a bit weird for the GAA to plead poverty because they are amateur. They don't pay their players but they still have all the sponsorship, TV and corporate income of a professional sports body. Not to mention a half dozen sold out Croke Parks each year.
Lots of people in Ireland question where that money goes

Not only did Houston not play them did he not resign because he thought he might have to?

You'd need a 30 team league to have any confidence teams like Dunfermline and Falkirk would be in it.

I'm not sure moving a game to Edinburgh solves any problems that comes with a midweek game in Glasgow. It's not like folk from Edinburgh can't get home and it's no better or worse for everyone else north of the Forth
So unless Montrose are getting a 50k seater any time soon just leave it.

Of the 6 or so guys who have played up front, either through the middle or out wide, this season, I think Grieve's the only one who hasn't made any sort of contribution at all. He might come good but he's not shown anything which suggests that he should be starting games.
Classic "something's wrong, change something" reasoning.
At the risk of being overly blunt and not sufficiently analysing the relative strengths and weaknesses of all parties, Grieve is shite

Interesting team tomorrow
Not leaking team as too many people will post it but let’s just say a few who haven’t been performing are dropped.
Birghitti rewarded for his commitment in making that shite bus journey?

Whatever happened to the old mantra "we won't give up the fight till it's mathematically impossible" to avoid the play-offs? Doesn't anyone remember beating all the odds to survive relegation at Firhill in the late eiighties sending Killie down instead? Haven't stranger things happened in football history? Great escapes happen all the time and I can't believe the doomsday scenario predictors don't have a wee part of them that thinks we might just scrape by by either avoiding the play-offs entirely (admittedly, unlikely on current form) or win the play-off. Auld Mattha Gemmell said that it took a heart made in a foundry to support Clyde and he wasn't wrong and its not just the team that are being tested at the moment it's also the patience and resolve of the support.
We're no deid yet and I'm not giving up on that wee bit of logic (not hope) that tells me survival at this level is possible and should we beat the odds I'll raise a large glass to all these maggot fans of other clubs who are rubbing their manky hands at the prospect of our demise.
That's not really a mantra.
You never know though. I hear Dani Alves is available.

Sad to see Freeman go, confidence shattered by Goodwin especially, but his displays affected by playing alongside some of the laziest, overrated senior colleagues I've seen playing for United last season.
I don't like to miss a chance to have a go at Goodwin but not sure that's fair. His confidence was gone well before Goodwin took over. He was ripped by senior pros last year. One of those senior pros still at the club was called out on it by new signings this year but the damage was already done.

I agree that if we had won all the games we had lost and drawn it would be a much better situation.
Having the best of the game means f**k all if you don't do anything with it.
We have been on top/made plenty of chances in 95% of games this season, as well we should.
The manager talks about "just lacking a little bit of quality in the final third" as if its a seagull blocking a goal bound shot as opposed to a combination of toxic/lazy "big name" players, a complete mismanagement of our younger players and an utter failure to change approach (just throwing different bodies into the same shape on 80 mins).
The whole thing stems from a credulous absentee owner who is happy to let chancer vampires enrich themselves from the club and make shit decisons and the sooner he is gone the better.
People talk about the money he has put in as if Dundee United should need some chancer like him to be a Premier league team challenging for Europe and trophies.

A Jim Fraudwin masterclass. Quite the knack for bottling big games. Tony Watt says he's tactically brilliant though, what a reference that is. We'll probably go up because the league is absolute pony but we'll need something like 17 new players in the summer.
I'd say that if I was getting a game for United when by rights I should be at Accies.

Absolutely f**k all from our highest paid players and fraud manager again.

Do we ever get to the point where being a Russian businessman or politician is just the same as being famous for being ill?
Can I shock you. I actually like Russian politicians being eligible.

Less than 60 tickets left for United fans.
Great effort lads, but I hope you all go home miserable on Friday night.
I'm sure we will. See our thread after the win v Ayr

There is no doubt McCall inherited a shitshow but he is barely doing any better than what went before him.

People using the wrong letters multiple times when trying to type something like we have below. Multiple T's doesn't do anything.
The the N is maybe OK but as a rule I'd prefer vowels.

Of course they do, the GAA like every major Irish institution is mired in cronyism, backhanders and troughing.
It's not a criticism I like the way Ireland operates. It seems like a lot of fun.
