Twinkle Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 That first half was as bad a half as i can remember probably as far back as Czaba. Fuckin horrendous. Not one of they players could say they had a good game 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthBank Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 McGrath getting dismissed a lot tonight but the big difference in the team was the change of formation and playing through the midfield for once. If we had been playing that way in the first half of the season we would have seen a lot more of McGrath. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're old enough to remember the game at Love St in 1986. The main commentator tonight also sounded as if he was old enough. It's 0-0 going into added time. McAlpine to Narey to Hegarty back to McAlpine. McAlpine to Malpas to Narey to McAlpine. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. McAlpine then kicks McGarvey, Speirs scores the penalty, we win 1-0. The point is every team tries to kill the game when they're holding out for a result. Some more successfully than others. People say it was Schmeichel and the Danish defenders which ushered in the backpass rule. I believe it was DU's defence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proper shite result for United against a team that's not been doing so great yet our record speaks volumes too. Courts doesn't look like he knows how to get the team playing effectively atm and I would think he's only got one or two more games left before he's out. As much as Courts was the cheap, lazy and left field choice out of all the "interviews" that definitely took place and weren't just all made up, there's no way he's not getting the season at absolute minimum. Tony and pals won't admit its been a mistake and they wouldn't want to be seen to be punting a manager so early in his tenure so soon after splashing huge dosh on Scotlands highest scorer. 1 point from the last 7 games is brutal and potential relegation form. Not saying we'll go down but as the club stated at the start of the season, its top 6 minimum. We are going through a horrendous patch and the manager should be given time to attempt to turn it round. Imo, if we're floundering in the bottom 6 mid February then he's got to go, especially going by what the club have said about targets. Id expect / hope to see another signing or two, ideally a wide player and a creative midfielder come in. Or let the Champions League standard youths loose instead of the players whove been poor for weeks and weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tannadeechee Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 (edited) Back in from the game. That first half was pathetic. We have been, to put it mildly, absolute shit since the Hearts loss. There has been a very obvious change of tactics, and every game since then has been slow, one paced, sidways and back passing with all the drive, agression & desire of a half assed training session. From being 3 points off 1st we are now 7th 11 off 3rd and our 6th or 7th straight loss, to be fair its 4 pts out of 30 now. Courts has to take responsibility and stop trying to play too safe, we have stopped closing down, and stopped trying to play at pace, we are visibly a far, FAR better team when we move quicker. Today , the 1st half was up with the Celtic game in absolutely embarrassing performances and simply not acceptable. We finished the game how we should have started, and how on earth did it take 67minutes for Freeman to be introduced?? He was probably United's MOTM!

buddie06smfc Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Great win & much needed. Kiltie was great tonight, everything went through him. Probably should’ve had a penalty against us but then again Kiltie’s goal looked a strange call. Dunne’s positioning for the Dundee Utd goal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dundee Hibernian Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 St Mirren deserved the win for their high energy performance, I (and obviously Tam Courts) didn't expect that. It's brought me down to earth, although that, in itself, isn't a shock. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenburn bud Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 No coincidence that Gregg Kiltie had his best game for us with McGrath not in the team. More of the same on Saturday at Ayr please. I expect we should hear some news about McGraths imminent departure in the next few days. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His performance deserved for that goal to stand. He linked up really well with Ronan who had a similarly good game being played in a slightly newer wide role. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 As crap as we were I think we could have sneaked a draw in the last 15 minutes though it would have been undeserved. Courts must learn from this, including working out who is and is not really interested in playing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap in 94 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 What about the 3 sitters we missed in the 2nd half? Canna expect to win games if we're wasting chances like that 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Got to say, for all the banter regarding how Courts talks in the media - when he first came in, it sounded like he was presenting a powerpoint to lower management than discussing a game of football - I thought he came across as very fair in his post match interview. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingscot Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 The offside goal in the first half looks a pretty poor call by the officials as does the handball call in the second half. A pretty important result and hopefully over the worst of the injuries and covid. The difference without Main up front is amazing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBadSaint Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 16 hours ago, Arch Stanton said: Just saw the offside again, especially from behind the goal...WTF??? Yeah that's the angle that really showed Siegrist had a full unimpeded view of the shot. Pure guesswork from an assistant 35 yards away and side on with no depth perception on player's position left or right of the keeper from there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Goodwin seems "happy" with the offside, if you listen to his post match comments. I only saw it from one side, the worst angle, so really can't say. I thought it was offside because it took a deflection off Brophy, but again.. I saw it from a bad angle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coventry Saint Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I think on balance, United were marginally more hard done-to by the ref last night. Power's handball was absolutely a handball, and though the offside goal decision was slightly unfair, I can kinda see why it was given. I would still like to see Fuchs' challenge on Brophy (I think) in the box again, but our players didn't really complain about it so I'm assuming there wasn't much in it. Overall I think they United can feel slightly aggrieved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not forget the goal we scored against them earlier in the season which was wrongly ruled out. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
