If Eh'd come on right efter the gehm, and posted, think Eh woulda felloot we a lot oe fowk, because Eh was phuckin livid.

Canna believe we blew the chance oe pullin awa, just a wee bit fae Raith. efter Big Dunc did us a favour.

The Ref was shite, the shove on Docherty in the 1st half 2 yairds in front of him being ane oe the shitey examples. But thats no the raason we never scored
the day against an average side.

Our pace was woeful virtually throughout the gehm, except fir the last 10 mins.

On the few occasions that the Pars moved forrit we the ba, thir pace was as expected, quick.

When we had the ba it sat we the back 3. Looked like they were playing yoga we the ba mair than futba. (Ross Graham was the biggest t culprit)
Then it moved forward at 1/4 speed, allowing the Pars to get their whole outfield playerd behind the ba., and it made it hard fir us to play thru.
We made it harder fir wirselves than it ever needed to be against an average side.

6 coarners in the 1st half, 13 in total, and yet phuck-all to show fir it. 3 shots on target the hale gehm.

Dinna ken what JG is tellin them to play like,and what he's thinkin aboot this, but Ehd love to ask him.

Going awa to a Burns night oot If Rabbie Burns had written anythin aboot this gehm, it wid go somethin like:-
Come on United. get phuckin with it
And stop playin like this shit
You're only playin the phuckin Pars
Baet them and git it right up Raiths arse.
.

3 league defeats in a row for raith and we’re 1 point ahead, incredibly poor all down to the awful home form.

Agree with most of the points highlighted in the posts above but the main take away for me and I will sound like a stuck record.

As per just about every home league game and also the Queens park game.

1-shoot for God's sake.
2-when the balls out for a corner, move yir fuckin arse. Stop fannying about and trudging over the quadrant.
3- Take risks in the final third, put it in the box rather than back to our half way line. It will go there anyway if they clear it.
4- If Tony Watt tells another player to calm down, sub him. We are at home, tell players to get going. Come on man!

As Barry Robson would say I was Frustrated,  we are like a fart in a trance at times. Countless sideways passes with no intent, take a risk , we don't care how many completed passes and percentage of the ball we have.

Thought Graham, Holt and Walton were decent, middle of the park OK.

Middleton, what is it with him? The boy he was up against was stinking, McMann strolled past him a few times by the lad. Middleton is capable of much much better.

Thankfully the next two league games are away from home.

Everyone in the ground yesterday knew Kai and Tony needed to be subbed at half time but also everyone in the ground knew it would be a like for like substitutions as it is getting more and more obvious the manager has no plan B.
MOTM for me was Kevin as he atleast looked like he wanted to win the game.

I don't think I have ever seen a team so in control of a game create so few chances.  They were woeful bar a couple of decent players (left hand side of their defence in particular).  Neither Watt or Moult appear capable of leading the line and we seem totally devoid of ideas in the last third of the pitch.  Clearly running with the ball hasn't been part of training for a few weeks as I lost count of the numbers of time we lost control of the ball when trying to move with it.  (Watt looked like his laces were tied together).  They are clearly told not to shoot unless you know you can score.

My first time up to Tannadice for a few weeks and I have no idea why so many people want to sit in the cold watching that.  Sort it out Goodwin.
