McGuigan1978 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 In all honesty, United's performance today was as bad as I've seen at Stark's Park this season, and that includes us. They were hilariously awful. I particularly liked that wee spell where they kept playing one twos that involved kicking it out of touch. Great stuff.

Broken Algorithms Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=13&v=TL6oZ87lrao Highlights above. As for the big bust up at the end, it's out for a corner from the looks of things, but brilliant to see it pulled back after Toshney kicks the ball out from Penksa's hands. No idea what Barr was doing. Shite to see one of the United fans chuck something which hits Matthews in the head during the incident. Not that Matthews gave a f**k, he holds his hand to his head, then gets on with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alyn Stevenson Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Did anyone else notice something hit Matthews in the head, during the scuffle, looked like a coin maybe. Horrible if that's the case. Edit: just noticed it was mentioned on the post with the highlights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted March 19, 2017 Author Share Posted March 19, 2017 Little to play for. It must have escaped your notice but we`re in fecking freefall. Only freefall over the last 4 games.http://www.footballwebpages.co.uk/scotchamp/form/eightNow, Dundee United rival us for freefall, as, happily, do The Pars over the last 8 games.

Scary Bear Posted March 19, 2017 Author Share Posted March 19, 2017 We do this no matter the opposition. Most teams try play to the strengths of their own players and find weaknesses in the opposition. We like to do the exact opposite. I'm not sure if this tactic will catch on or not but McKinnon is persistent with it if nothing else. He was similar with us at times last season. The middle third of last season was terrible viewing. Just a lot of ineffective long balls to Daly and Wighton. Then he managed to sign a load of good players (ringers) and we kicked on and had a good season.

RandomGuy. Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Staggering to see so many Dundee fans in here when there's a massive chance they'll end up in the bottom two places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith25 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Just watched the highlights, didn't realise how good McManus and Thompson played yesterday, good to see after seeing them short of confidence for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumigoo Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Edjenguele and Robson at fault for the first (Robson falls over but Edjenguele is far too easily pushed out of his position). The second is a fresh air swipe by VdS after Durnan misses his header. McKinnon on ArabZone "making no excuses" for the performance. What a time to be alive.

Sarto Mutiny Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 United are utter horseshit It would be a bit of a minter to support a team who hadn't actually managed to beat us this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee Sandy Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I know money is tight but wonder if JH will manage to get a striker in for the rest of the season? To have cover/replacement for Stewart even until the end of the season would be wise, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately, it didn't matter but it was two great balls from set pieces to cause chaos in the United defence. Indeed, their back line looked very disorganised at times. Nice to hear Johnston getting some well deserved praise. To think that someone on here referred to him as a sand dancer and that he should get to f**k, or words to that effect.

Our performance in the second half in particular was of a level that has been beyond us for about 6 months. It was heartening to see the confidence return to the players during the match. Hopefully we can kick on from here. The other results today show that we can't just rely on the teams around us losing every week but if we can kick on from today then we just might have enough about us to pull clear of trouble after all. That really is a grim line up. Your words? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 That really is a grim line up. Your words? I doubt you'd find many Rovers supporters pre-match who thought that was a decent starting eleven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To think that someone on here referred to him as a sand dancer and that he should get to f**k, or words to that effect. Think that was me. Johnston has generally been a sand dancer - shows nice touches but absolutely no end product. It'll take more than one half decent game against a team on a downer to change my opinion of him. I wasn't there yesterday, but I might honour Starks with my presence against QoS. I look forward to the new and improved Chris Johnston show. Just checked and my pretty harsh criticism was in response to yourself slating Davidson in the Dumbarton v Raith match thread, even though Davidson wasn't playing and Johnston was. You were singing Johnston's praises. I pointed out that our decline starts when he starts getting a regular place in the starting XI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair Scary, that I think was more to do with moving from a lop sided 4-4-2 with Matthews slotting in to one with two proper wingers. In the former we had the extra man to cover the middle. In the latter we get over run. Not so much to do with Johnston as an individual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
