I really, really like Spörle. Think he could be a top player for us. Viva la Spörle.

You just ken when there’s a pen against us, it’s scored every time, not having a pop at benji, but weird for a guy his sizes he’s never saved a pen for us but Cammy bell was excellent at saving pens

 
I think my stats are right - since Benji signed he’s faced 34 pens , saved 0 and went the right way on much less than 50%.

Starting Pawlett and Reynolds with Watson and Glass on the bench is laughable. How many shocking performances from Pawlett will it take for Neilson to stop shoehorning him in, we are so much weaker when he plays.

 
Fully agree. That team is getting beat tonight full stop.

 
Trying to justify some stupid signings on stupid money rather than picking his best team. Pawlett was a passenger on Saturday and will likely be the same again tonight.

Hibs fans don’t seem too pleased with their starting XI which makes it all the more infuriating.

Over 1700 sold thus far. Approximately half the stand.

McMullan is fine at championship level but there isn’t a chance he will be good enough for the top flight. We need 2/3 wingers between now and the start of next season.

Our best centre half is out of contract in the summer. Our worst is contracted until 2022. Fs

His reaction when asked if he like Jackie's management style was interesting.   Also likes to say like a a lot eh like?

 
Criminal that he never finished higher than 4th with the players at his disposal. Total charlatan.

Buzzing for this. My usual group and more are heading through. Wouldn’t be overly surprised to see circa 2k shed loyal there. Nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Looking at the online ticket page the sales for Utd are terrible so far.

It's not against Dundee therefore the 'Get it up the Bluenoses' daytrippers are not interested.
 

I'd sooner have the 'Get it up the Bluenoses' daytrippers than not have them.
 

 
Agreed but that’s the point LOA is making. When they think we can stick it to the dee’s they are clamouring for tickets and claiming they are diehards. Now they can’t be found for love nor money and are coming out with every excuse under the sun. I can see why it rubs folk the wrong way when suddenly they are demanding tickets for limited games like away derbies, playoff finals etc. Just wish we could a 5-figure crowd for every home game.

I’m 100% relaxed about Shankland’s future this window. It doesn’t make sense for the club to sell and I’ve been told that Lawrence and his partner are happy to settle down for a while having moved around a lot recently. He’ll be a United player until the summer at least.

Tuesday 28th January at Easter Road should this go to a replay.

Gutted for him. Was about to get his first crack at the top flight, now doubt he’ll be back to this seasons level. Hopefully he can buck a typical trend of players struggling to reach their previous heights after a leg break.

Different injury but Henrik Larsson was even better after his leg break.

Fingers crossed Nicky can be too.


 

 
Hope so anyway. We’re in a position where he doesn’t need rushed back early and can have the start of the next season as a target rather than getting back in for end of season playoffs etc.
