Kai ia a good lad and disappointed for him thst his united journey ends here but as others have said, i'm not sure what his position is.

Its maybe on united that they a bunch of talented kids all come through but none of them had a position- i think they all wanted to be a number 10 - the trendy position to be but how do you fit them all in. Kai, glass, mochrie, charmers meekison and potentially even thompson. All players who had undoubtedly talent but never really had a defined position for ms

Maybe i'm overthinking it and its just the cut throat world of professional football

Hoping that watters has just been playing through the pain barrier in an attempt to get to the 2 week break 🤞

Seems some folk think its ok to dig out abuse to players for 90 mins but as soon as something comes back they start crying.

 
It enrages fans because players should know better than to wind up a crowd. I also don’t think hearts players were abused either apart from the odd boo towards Shankland or Spittal. There was no need to run to the United fans.

 
Did you get a replacement for your lighter? 🤣

Same could be said for the aberdeen fan, no?  Fans were ok the pitch w8nding them up.... I dont think we can go 'and eye for an eye'

As long as its nae his hammy😀

So, Goodwin only deserves a new contract if the team, decimated by injuries, beats a team, which on paper, is far superior to us?

That feels a little harsh imo. Especially seeing as we finished higher up the league than hearts and aberdeen who both have vastly superior budgets to ours

There's chat on the transfer thread about tye manager situation - so thought id give it, ifs own thread.

Currently, Goodwin on s rolling contract st united. This was good initially when we'd been relegated it made sense that we could change the manager.

However, since relegation, he has got us promoted with a huge points total, got us top 6 and now we are challenging in a 2 legged european tie.

The backdrop to that is also that hes had to ride out a tough time behind the seens with the fallout of the asghar era. His budget was hampered by the likes of tony watt contract.

Equally he's been ruthless when required - there was a lot of raised eyebrows when we let scott mcmann go - but we've really progressed

The early signs for this season are promising. A whole new team which shows signs of promise.

All in all, I think Goodwin deserves a bit of security with a multi year contract (2 or 3) and the club needs to protect itself too.

5? Mental. Is that including some outgoings?

Wasn't a great watch and agree with most of what tek said.

The optimist in me hopes that we will get better as the season goes on as players start to understand their role and what others around them will do.. all the pressers, they say they've made free strides but I dont think you can rush relationships.

Other side is, Goodwin can be a bit negative at times - so perhaps the team wasnt set uo to showcase the likes of dolcek.

Roll on falkirk- just hope we can stay hamstrings injury free

I'm reasonably positive.

Thought the keeper and centre backs looked decent - good. I actually thought strain was better than last season - he had that horror injury at the start of the season, so guess he was always playing catch up... Ferry and strain could be better though. I did think iovu (i think) went charging forwards a few times, lost possession and didnt run to get back- therefore there was a defender missing.

Passing wasn't great overall but we had spell of pressure and you can see there's something there. Up front, I thought sapsford was pretty good up top but wasnt as effective when moved wider. Wingers could do better.


However, a lot of our players haven't played in thst atmosphere before (as well as una strassen) - so maybe a lot for them to take in. I guess they had a real hunger to make a good start to the campaign and tried too hard at times.

Hoping that with a week where we can review the game, work out where una strassens weaknesses are and if the players relax a bit, we will be good.

Healthy respect for una strassen - they are no mugs - but still comfortable we will win away from home

On a larger scale, aren't numbers up across the spfl? When did the likes of falkirk ever limit away tickets - or aberdeen?

Possibly people bored of the epl? A reaction post covid? Either way, it is a good look for the league and this should be driven home to sky etc. I think we do have a better product to sell.

Redmond- thats ok. We are all different. Stick down your predictions and we can get a laugh and the end of the season to see who got what right or wrong
