craigkillie Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Kyle Lafferty is still one of the most unlikeable players in Scottish football. It’s remiss that it’s not been mentioned so far in this thread.Trying to think of a single thing he could have done yesterday that would have annoyed the away support. He had a very quiet game apart from the two lovely backheels that set up the Polworth chance early on. Definitely not fully fit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s just generally unlikeable in the same way you’re generally boring. Hope that helps. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dundee Hibernian Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Lafferty appears to get away with quite a bit of petty play, and according to the BBC statistics 4 fouls were given against him yesterday, but he was not booked. In comparison Harkes committed 2 fouls and was booked for both. These sort of details outline why opposition fans dislike Lafferty, over and above him being naturally detestable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take off the orange tinted specs laddie. Harkes was booked quite rightly for 2 fouls, the other 3 he commited went without comment. I would also point out that this is the most physical Dundee United team I've seen for a long time. Now you have the draw master as your boss bottom 6 looks to be your destination. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harkes is a clown, Lafferty is very clever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most United fans would be delighted if that were true. Its not though, its absolute bollocks. Probably less physical than last season and certainly less physical than under Mellon in the season you were relegated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pull My Strings Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I think 'very clever' in this case is a synonym for 'cynical cheat'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done on seeing five. And less of the 'laddie, and as for 'orange'..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These sort of details outline why opposition fans dislike Lafferty, over and above him being naturally detestable.I'm pretty sure all his fouls were aerial challenges, the sort that centre-forwards engage in throughout every single game of football ever. Not sure there's anything remotely petty about that.Harkes committed two blatant yellow card offences, the fact he couldn't get near our midfield to make any other fouls in the rest of the game doesn't make that any less the case. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of Lafferty's fouls was for handball. Harkes second booking was hardly blatant, there were far worse fouls in the game which went unpunished in terms of bookings, one by Liam Smith and another by Ash Taylor in the first half as examples. Hardly worth bothering about now, the game is well over. Edited August 1, 2022 by Dundee Hibernian 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a rhetorical question btw Man Utd sing it. Why don't you go on their forums and bore them to tears too 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
