2-1 Qots (Murray)

snoots69 · 17/2/2017 7:15 pm

No feckin idea mate. I hope it's a win, as never like to see a UTD side lose. Not knowing what sort of side RM will put out makes it too difficult to call.

I'll go for a big win of 3 nil UTD. That'd make the trip a bit easier to take, along we the beers mind you lol.

0-0 lose 4-2 on pens

bowers · 17/2/2017 11:46 pm

More dissapointing for the fans who have went to the games that the club are talking about playi g the youths in the final and have it on the sunday if we progress so as not to lose hospo money for dunfermline game!

The Final is always on a Sunday.

Who said we would just play the Youths?

bowers · 18/2/2017 7:29 am

Stories going around club don't want to lose hospitality money for dunfermline game so want to play on both days.

Personally think it's a lot of shite

Aye I've heard about this rumour, I'm no convinced it's true though.

The Club are detached enough from the Fans already, without trying to pull this stunt. I guess we'll find out soon enough though.

That rumour is almost certainly nonsense.

McKinnon has played a strong side in every Irn-Bru Cup match so far.

There's no way he would sacrifice his first (and perhaps only piece) of silverware at Utd by playing the Devs.

TheShed · 18/2/2017 2:29 pm

IF the rumour is true, it wouldn't be at Rays choice, it'd be a financial decision. Money over football.

Fact is tho there is no way the spfl would allow it to happen. It would make a mockery of their competition (yes I know).

I don't believe for one minute it is true but heard it on Thursday from two different people.

18/2/2017 3:35 pm

I heard from three different sources that we're trying to line up a game on the Monday as well.

annanarab · 18/2/2017 4:04 pm

I want Ray to use this match to try out a more positive, attacking style, minimising unnecessary and irrelevant passing/midfield play and with a safety first approach to defending. Don't mind who he picks as long as it helps him establish a good game plan for the rest of the season. Wouldn't mind seeing United maximising their arial strengths at set plays instead of wasting them taking them short.

Sorry b&t that was a shit shot
Just astounded that some believe we're contemplating playing 2 games in 2 days, the 2nd one a Cup Final, to preserve hospo income,

4 changes apparently - Dillon, Edge, Telfer & Murray in.

lifesanocean · 18/2/2017 7:20 pm

3-0 up at ht. Andreu's goal was a cracker. Look dangerous whenever we go forward. We are still playing pretty crap, but miles better than last Saturday (not like that would be hard mind you).

lifesanocean · 18/2/2017 8:18 pm

Scrape it 3-2 eventually. Fraser poor at both goals. Poor stuff second half after a decent first. Could've scored a few more on the break in the last 5 mins mind you.

TheShed · 18/2/2017 8:23 pm

30 years on we get to lose to St Mirren in a final again.

Today's game was brutal, first 2 were gifts, still got the win which is all that really matters.

No problem smeDUum. I don't think anyone believes it tbf

annanarab · 18/2/2017 10:54 pm

Disappointed. Ok we got a win, but I was looking for a performance to suggest that promotion might be a possibility. We are not going to get 2-goal gifts in every game and we keep repeating our defensive mistakes (QoS 1st goal was a dead ringer for Falkirk's 3rd last week - we have possession on the right side of defence and instead of clearing the ball, we try to play football,lose possession and gift them a goal and a way back into the game Ray then takes off our danger man and what little goal threat we have, disappears. Opportunity lost and I now have my doubts as to whether Ray is the man to get us out of this league..

Rocky Raccoon · 19/2/2017 9:33 am

I cannot believe the shite I read on forums nowadays,

"the club wants to play Saturday & Sunday so they don't lose hospitality money in a game against DUNFERMLINE"

Jesus wept

The loonies really are taking over the asylum.

I am in no way at all a Thompson/Sutherland lover, not even a fan, but some of the rumours like this are fucking ridiculous and people who actually believe them need to give their heads a wobble.
