Sadly, he was only on loan but he's doing really well for the BIG Dundee team. #dunkirk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz FFC Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Strange bunch Utd fans. Seems a sense of bragging here. Biggest team in the league and 6th biggest in Scotland are currently 15th below Ayr Utd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you consider that out of the time we have been out the top flight we have had Sevco for 2 of those seasons in the Championship, Hearts and Hibs , so straight away there's 4 teams that can outspend us. We had the season where we had the play off against Killie and lost in the 2nd Leg (seriously should have been one leg, that is on a par with a home and away game for the Scottish cup final) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alert Mongoose Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 The Falkirk fans plumb new depths. Forming an alliance with the Dees - wooft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

United haven't even managed to come second yet for fecks sake. Hartley and Co certainly helped you get rid of a decent stash of used notes.

Still nowhere near the kind of budget you guys have been since you came down. United have so far ended up below us, St Mirren and Livi all on much smaller budgets. None of these teams have been anything special on the park either over that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always think a partnership can improve a player. The young boy mckenna we have is a great prospect , When he was at united the poor sod had to play beside utter dumplings like Scobbie, Donaldson, Durnan, Toshney, Mohsni, and Quinn. Its nae wonder he struggled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even before United was relegated, and certainly subsequent to it, we have had issues of quality with the team and managers. I doubt if you find many Arabs disagreeing with that. I think many/most United supporters are now happy with the manager and very happy with the squad, moreso since the Christmas transfer window. It’s certainly the strongest squad we’ve had since relegation and a squad with a decent amount of depth. Will it be good enough to get us promoted? We will have to wait and see, but I think it’s reasonable to differentiate between the options we have now and those we had just a few weeks ago.

You're only 3 points and a game more behind a piss poor County side. If Neilson cant get you up this season then I doubt he's the right man for the job either.

Given how much support he’s been given since the new owner took over then he will have few excuses if we fail to get promoted. FWIW in the last couple of seasons I have dreaded the play offs; if it comes to it this season I reckon we will have a decent chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would be at worse second I would think but wont be easy going to somewhere like Ayr or Inverness although I reckon Ayr may actually be the easier of those fixtures. Then whose going to get the drop . Being selfish I hope that St Mirren and Hamilton are the two sides at the bottom as they would be less likely to be able to spend their way out of the league next season. You'd fancy your chances against either of them in a playoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW that’s a view I held and expressed when we were still in the Premier League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The goal difference is worth a point alone to County and the best result last night wouldv'e been County winning for your lot, they will now have a free week to recharge the final sprint with quite a few midweek hurdles. I think you have two games v County, Utd will probably need to win both to stand any chance of overhauling County. County are no great shakes, or anyone in this league tbh, Ayr going through an 12 game period with 3 wins(2 of them against Utd) yet Utd still behind them tells you all you need to know. I am looking forward to seeing this new utd team that have some utd fans frothing over......tho the frothing maybe an everyday occurrence for some it seems 3 hours ago, Aufc said: Why does that matter?
