Re: Utd vs Aberdeen - Tuesday 24th February (7.45PM)
Watched the last half hour, the penalty kick was about his 3rd touch.
"Don't F*cking ever offer me that again!"

Re: Utd vs Aberdeen - Tuesday 24th February (7.45PM)
In recent games it's been really alarming to see the bad timing of some of our defenders attempts to play the ball.
Iovu instead of retreating and ushering the boy away from goal steps forward and bodies him.
Keresztes striding forward past four men then pushing the ball towards an opponent and losing possession 70 yards from goal.
Bert running over to the right back position and getting done leaving no cover behind him.
Watching a ball in the air, not moving towards it straight away when you're closer to it than the attacker but allowing the attacker to get close to the ball before you make your challenge. (If that makes sense)
It occurred to me that if we're ever going to turn Iovu KK and Bert into polished defenders we could do a lot worse than ask Declan Gallacher to come in and coach them.

For the record Tek, Re. the supporter v Ferry shouting match.
I sit at the very back of GF Lower, right in the middle next to the stairs. I saw the whole thing down in front of me.
Ferry was walking up the Wing on the GF Side of the pitch toward the Shed end, midway between the ET and the half-way line.
The bloke was in the bottom row of the GF Lower about 12 seats left from the centre stair toward the ET.
As Ferry was passing his position, while most folks round this bloke were sitting, he was standing shouting and pointing toward Ferry ( I couldna hear what he was shouting). Ferry was just turning and looking over to the right toward the guy as he passed him.
At no point did I see Ferry shout back or point at the bloke.

Actually not a bad shout but it would depend upon him retiring would it not?
