If we accept a offer for him, I would wish him all the luck in the world! The way this boy goes about his business through work rate and attitude is admirable, and if we had 11 of them last season we wouldn't be where we are today. He knows he's not the best player and we know that but my work he knocks his cunt in, unlike some. Good luck to him what ever happens

 
Great post Mario, agree 100%

I can understand where you are coming from with that. That was well explained blackandtangerine.

It must be frustrating trying to get some answers with nothing coming back.

I can't speak for others, but not being in the loop of things with the Fed, the Trust or anything else officially related to the club, I can't comment on much. So excuse if my ignorance looks like I am burying me head in the sand. It's really not. I really can't say if I am pro or anti-Thompson, but I do want him to go if he finds a suitable and stable buyer, and the sooner the better, for both parties I think.

 

Tek's right.

Some of the posts since after the game yesterday has been out of order, I know people are hurting.

If you want to vent, fight or slag off each other there is plenty of other places and forums to do that. Tek set this forum up to be an 'alternative' to other forums, to have it a more laid back place where you can still have discussions and disagreements, but in a more civilised manner. Not to see it getting turned into a Mini Mad.

We are all grown ups here, we should be able to talk to each other without acting like a bunch of school bairns.

I've said it before, Tek has set up this forum, and he can only do so much to contribute and regulate. Forums like this will only be as good or as bad as the posters on it.

It shouldn't be all sunshine and rainbows, life isn't like that, but we should at least be civil to each other.

I have to go to hospital next Tuesday for a CT scan. I don't want to go....... The last time I had one of those, about 8 years ago, it showed cancer in the bladder. I think this time I'd really prefer not to know the result!

 
Sorry to hear about your last CT scan, I really hope next Tuesday goes well for you Leedsy, I honestly do mate.

Wishing you all the best!

Thank you guys, I really appreciate the kind remarks, it means a lot.

It's a bit mortifying to see and hear yourself on video, and also to discuss things that I don't usually talk about, especially out with the job. If it helps someone out there to be a bit more careful then it has been worth it.

Goalkeeping heroics
Walter Scott of Grimsby Town was the first goalkeeper to save three penalties in a single game; he performed this heroic feat in 1909 against Burnley.
Other goalkeepers to achieve this feat include Manchester United's Gary Bailey, who saved three penalties against Ipswich Town at Portman Road in 1980 but still conceded six goals from open play, and Huddersfield Town's Matt Glennon, who saved three spot-kicks in a league game against Crewe Alexandra in 2007.
The most penalties saved in a single season by a goalkeeper is eight (out of 10) by Paul Cooper of Ipswich Town in 1979-80.
In international football, Poland's Jan Tomaszewski (1974) and the United States' Brad Friedel (2002) share the record for most penalty saves in open play, both saving twice from the spot.

Found it very nail-biting after the Pars got their goal, and I was only listening on the radio. What was the story with Dixon?

 
Dixon was booked for backchat at a penalty, then sent off for the first foul he'd been penalised for. I think.

That system didn't apply to Pars players, especially that wee guy who's on loan from Celtic.

 
Yes, what Pat said. After the ref awarded the Pars 3rd pen he booked Dixon, Bell and 2 others I think (Flood and Toshney?) for the brouhaha. It was OTT and unnecessary handing out the bookings at that time, maybe a wee bit of common sense after awarding a 3rd pen in 30mins that players are gonna get exasperated. Seen a lot worse after ref decisions not going players way and remonstrating while getting away with it.

The second booking was a foul, IMO, but also some of the Pars players done a lot worse and escaped bookings, and even the ref pulling them up for the foul. Inconsistent.

Started watching this on Siebby's recommendation.

Two episodes watched and really enjoying it.

 
Good stuff glad your enjoying it!

The ending of episode 3 with Peter Gabriel's cover of 'Heroes' gave me goosebumps

Well thought out and hits the nail on the head. People need to chill the fuck out. Meltdowns after we lose a game are no use. I must say though that Jim Spence could do with thinking before he posts on Twitter as well.

 
Pretty much agree with that ocean it's not good for your health to have a pathological hatred of one man.

Very interesting and brave blog by SG Milne. It's not going to be met with universal adulation as with anything concerning the Chairman but personally I think its spot on.

It's just getting so predictable, boring and downbeat all the time, everything seems to come around full circle on the man. Even off topic stuff like Celtic in the Champions League he gets brought up on stuff.

TEK made this forum for himself and United fans, but this forum is what we make it, he can only do so much competitions and off topic stuff to keep things light hearted. It's just seems like constant ST bashing, meltdowns and doom and gloom all the fucking time. This is not from everyone, but the same posters saying the same stuff over and over again.

Do you think ST and Jim Spence even see's any of this stuff on here, and if they did do you even think they would care and even let on.

I'm not an ST fan, and I have no personal issue with Jim Spence but I don't follow him on twitter either so I don't know whats been going on. But come on, this is going to be a long season, like Beharder said, it can't be good for your health.

Opinions are always welcome but I think we can safely agree that ST and Jim Spence aren't popular on here. I'm not saying stop talking about them but maybe we can start by keeping it to a dedicated thread and go to town and let out all your vitriol there.

Ceres Arabs clarifying on twitter this morning that it was last seasons teams that get a payment.

So United do and The Rangers don't.

Going through some of the comments is like we got beat 3-0.

If your looking for perfection then tell me what team plays like that for the whole game consistently and I'll go follow them instead.

We're in for a long season and if we win 3-0 every week and play shite in parts then I'm fine with that.

Maybe we can benefit by winning like this and have things to work on in training for things that didn't go right in the previous game.

It can't be healthy being so negative about things all the time. Feels like your damned if you do and your damned if you don't.
