Hi 1st post from me so be gentle

The DUFC Archive has a fabulous post on Facebook showing highlights (20 mins) of the game between United & Rangers on this day (albeit yesterday), 29 years ago which United won 1-0.

This should be compulsory viewing for all at Tannadice as it shows (a) how to win a game against bigger opponents (Butcher, Gough, Woods, McCoist, Roberts, Cohen, etc) and just as important (b) how to entertain even enthrall fans.

There was none of the go-nowhere tippy tappy pedestrian paced, build-from-the-back/forget to advance passing/possession fad that we currently do so badly and lots of end-to-end, blood & thunder route 1 stuff that gets a bad press now but had both sets of fans on the edge of their seats throughout the game.

My view is Jim McLean got it right when he said the only thing that matters is attacking and defending and the sooner we get back to his ways and forget the obsession with midfield & possession the sooner we will be entertained and be cheering on a successful team.

The team 29 years ago could have played as a 4-2-3-1 with McInally, Bowman, Redford, Bannon and Paul Kinnaird (who looked great) supporting Ian Ferguson but the played more like 4-3-3 or 4-2-4 with players getting forward and into the box at will.

Leicester bucked the odds last year when they won the EPL playing a similar type of football that we were playing 30 years ago, maybe its about time that we went back to the future too.
