Anyone else get a flashback nightmare when they see these?

Finn Seemann · 22/9/2020 4:32 pm

nope - you'll have to enlighten

Jobbee McCall?

PatReilly · 22/9/2020 5:36 pm

Here's a clue:

Had thought about Jobbee, but Pat's montage has left me none the wiser.

PatReilly · 22/9/2020 6:14 pm

Adriano give any clues?

I still have terrible visions of the MyPa-47 player scoring his second at the Shed end and doing a lap of honour around a near silent Tannadice.

Maybe I'm the sensitive sort.

I thought this was a thread about the omnishambles that has been the distribution of the new strips. Tbh I'm close to asking for a refund on the home shirt for me and the kit for the young lad ordered 06 Aug. Ordered in the shop and still no word on it yet a mate ordered the away strip for his bairn online last Saturday and has it already. Separate issue but it's an absolute piss take. Its near Oct ffs.

Thought it might be the 47 and didn't make the link. Was one of the worst nights of being a United fan.

If I can side with the shop Lifesan, it ain't easy. Slow boat from China & all that. There will be hundreds, nay, thoosands, of Club shops round the globe waiting for their shirts. It is not the shop's fault, I can assure you. Can understand the frustrations, worse when there's kids involved with birthdays etc too.

Whats the excuse for the absolute shit show before covid?

B@stard of a night that was.

It was 1 of the rare occasions when Mark Kerr scored for us I think.

They got a penalty and the boy in the photae scored. He also scored their 2nd. Seem to remember Stillie was off his line and the boy chipped it over him.

Can mind oe the chunt running the length of the GF doing an impression oe a glider.

This late delivery has very little to do with the current circumstances. It's the nature of the trade I'm afraid, I'm not defending it. If the stuff arrives in time it's a bonus. It was always thus, no matter who the supplier was. It's decades since the stuff was manufactured in the UK & even then it was shit deliveries.

Have Motherwell, St Johnstone, Hibs, Ross County & Dundee had the same issues with the Macron strips?

I remember being absolutely livid at Paul Ritchie who played the guy onside for their equaliser and rather than tackle him (which he easily could have) stopped and put his hand-up claiming the off-side instead. One of the few times I've thought that it would be appropriate if a player never pulled the shirt on again.

On the merchandise delivery side I have a very strong suspicion that we don't know what we are doing. Bring back Brannigan... At this time, the last thing we need is for the income raising arm of the club to be being run by incompetents, but all the evidence is currently pointing in that direction. Worrying.

Not certain but I would imagine so. All that the shop staff do is order the things. After that it's the lap of the Gods.

They've had the stock in for weeks. Covid has nothing to do with the decision to send out all the internet orders first before contacting those who ordered by phone or in the shop, even though many internet orders occurred months after the shop/phone orders.

The only reason why I ordered in the shop was to get the season ticket discount voucher (which couldn't be done online) but it would seem I and others who used it are getting penalised for it.

That is entirely a decision taken either by the club or the shop. The orders should have been distributed based on when people ordered, with the earlier ones coming first, regardless of how they were ordered.

I think we were the last to release pictures never mind actually get them on peoples backs.

If they have the stock in & just can't get it out then that is totally different & is baffling sorry.

Rocky Raccoon · 24/9/2020 2:39 pm

Last seasons home kit aside Macron have been a disaster, kits, delivery times & kits actual release.

Last year it was blamed on it was late in the day the deal being finalised, this year it was the lurgy, i wonder what next years excuse will be?

Morphman · 17/11/2020 10:43 am

Got to say with the club being absolutely skint I had thought that we'd hear a fair bit about the club shop in the build up to Christmas.

We're now in the latter half of November and I haven't received anything, outwith the weekly newsletter, from United trying to flog their wares. Furthermore, said newsletter doesn't list the opening time either (is the store online only or is it limited hours?).

They don't help themselves much just now do they? Advertising via email is free ffs.

I'm not on social media so are they any more active on that end?

They have been open in store for ages with reduced opening hours 10am-3pm if i remember correctly. it has been advertised but not regularly enough. I said a couple of months back they hours are no good to alot of people so why not split the times on some days and open say 2/3pm to 6/7pm once or twice a week?
