Big crowd expected, chance to clinch the league with a win (35 GD isn't getting caught in 2 games). We all know how well Goodwin does in the big crunch games. Fully expecting to need something come the final game of the season--hope I'm very wrong.

Surely Wotherspoon will be fit enough for this weekend? 

Goodwin quoted in the Daily Record, below. 

United will have a near full squad although David Wotherspoon won’t make Saturday’s clash with his former team. Goodwin confirmed: “David is the only one who will be missing. He shouldn’t be too far away and we hope he will be back sooner rather than later.”

Unreal, doesn't even seem certain that he will be back for the Raith game.


 

Another serial crock on the books. Are the folk that check the fitness of new signings the same people who run the live streams on match days?

Hope you’re right. In the last couple of years Joshua has turned into a pantomime clown who’s scared of his own shadow. That first Ruiz fight ruined him and he’s never recovered from it. Would love to see him fight Fury but fear it might not happen now or unless they’re both well past their best which isn’t that far away to be honest. Could’ve had one of the best heavyweight divisions in years but it’s been completely ruined wit fights called off or never happening.

Goodwins here till the season’s end. Then after a failed attempt in the play offs we’ll appoint another Largs made ex player in the same mould. More tippy tappy possession football, box ticking, mediocre players from the Ross Countys of this world, youngsters who are weak AF and can’t make the step up, loan signings who have 1 good game every 5, Ogren not giving a shit and looking to sell to anyone with 10 bob. 

yours, Nostradamus.

Thing is though is that it's not a Goodwin trait it's been a trait we have had probably since the Micky Mellon days and I don't understand why.”

Because all new managers are learning their trades in the same place(s). Tippy tappy boring AF football with no urgency based on stats, ball retention, created chances etc etc.

Walton, Sibbald and Moult. IF we go up. The rest would take us straight back down.

Heard at the game yesterday that Tony Watt was part of the talks to Ross County, they want him permanent in January but were only interested in loaning us a striker. Heard it was Murray or Brophy.

I’ve heard Murray is a done deal. Scunnered already with this season and can only see us getting beaten in the play offs come the season’s end. Hope I’m very wrong.

We need a Simon Murray/Stevie May type of striker to partner Moult. This Moult flicking it on to nobody and him drifting out wide to create is leaving major gaps.

We need a creative player as well. Doch, Sibbald, Glass, Mochrie, Tillson and Cudjoe… not one of them has any real talent that could open up a defence. We need a Kris Commons esq signing like Hibs did against us. Someone that will drag this team.

 Heard that Simon Murray will be signed. Could be pish mind you.

Would take any kind of win. We’re top scorers across all 8 UK leagues (?) and let in the least(I think) yet still Raith could pull within a point if they win games in hand. Surely they’ll drop off at some point you would hope.

Do people still take drink on the bus? Obviously not allowed but plenty a driver back in the day would turn a blind eye or are the risks for the driver to great now?

Load of folk still use it though and re the corner shop "I't's just shortening the name, I mean no offence!"

Yeah, the shortening excuse is so stupid. Same excuse I encounter with the word “Jap”.

Definitely ignorance. Similar to saying “chi*#y” in regards to ordering food. Had many a “discussion” in regards to the term “Jap” being inappropriate but was p1ssing in the wind on that front. FWIW there’s probably a lot more ignorance over here. Still see actors “blacked up” on major TV shows for example.

Eddie Machin. The guy lauded as the next Beckenbauer. Did he actually play though? Remember him being outstanding in a reserve match.

We need an experienced keeper first and foremost. Someone that will Marshall the defence and get them playing as a unit—that hopefully doesn’t include Mulgrew who is as slow as a weekend in bell street these days which leads to last ditch tackles resulting in PKs and reds. Carson would fit the bill but a bit injury prone. Hopefully if it’s the Croat that’s mentioned, he speaks english well.

Good shout with Hans Zimmer. 
Love some Vangelis too. 
Not sure if he counts as a film composer but the soundtrack for Gallipolli by Jean Michel Jarre is cracking.

A lovely looking Utd strip.

Would have probably been an instant Top 10 Utd home top if it wasn't for the cheap looking sponsor embossed on to the top. A real shame.

The sponsorless top Errea put up is sensational. A genuine pity there isn't an option to pay a bit more to get a sponsorless shirt.


 

Give it a few washes. That sponsor looks like it’ll fall off.

I’m surprised teams take him on to then bin him a few days/weeks later. They didn’t know his situation or were hoping it’d be accepted? Doesn’t really matter what he says, it’ll follow him to his grave. Waste of a talent.

Mulgrew and Birrighitti training today

This scunners me more than anything. If we can’t offload Birighitti then give him the highest possible squad number and punt him as far away from the first team as possible. Mulgrew flouncing about and his bad karma spreading to the rest of the squad gives me the boak—no doubt with his sidekick Watt trailing after him. Hopefully punted sooner than later.
