What is the Number 1 contributing factor in your opinion as to why United struggle to keep a clean sheet and how would you solve it?

They don't defend as a unit. Our defensive problems come from three areas.  1.  Long balls:  Our ch's don't clean enough of them out.  and we loose out on too many second balls.  Why? full backs don't tuck in to cover the ch's,  central midfielders don't get in front of opposition strikers to help out the ch's and don't pick up enough second balls.

2.  Corners: Under Jackie we started off as man to man (ditching zonal)  this year we seem to have switched to a mixed system whihc is part zonal and part man to man (my old boy does the same actually).  Our players don't have a scooby what they are supposed to be doing.  It takes hours of work on the training ground.  Work that if rumours are true, are not being put in.

3.  The goalie was a total brainfart.  Nerves have seeped through the defence as a result.

Better goalie, better orgainsation, more training. Success.

 

 
4. Stop the cross?

Aye. Corners are a pain though.

Doomcaster has been assassinated on the steps of Hampden and you've been tasked with filling his boots and revolutionising the Scottish Professional game.  What 6 changes/improvements would you make?

 
14 or 16 team league for starters. Summer football. European place for League Cup winners or scrap it. Scrap compliance officer. Make refs explain decisions. Scrap 11-1 voting. Financial fair play enforced so SEVCO get binned.

Rob Walker on freak or unique OYF!

Two questions..... one, cos you've puzzled me a bit here (you may not want to answer directly, initials will do, or tell me to fuck off), who's your dad?

two, have you a favourite unusual United souvenir?

DB

Fave souvenir is my Utd Gotherburg programme signed by Pele who I met at Dens at the U16 world cup. My dad and I blagged our way into a training session he did with a school competition winners. Got Billy Kirkwoods autograph on it too. Met Andy Roxburgh so it wasnt all good though.

It was never going to win for anyone Bugs, but you were at the meeting and know that it was well intentioned.

It needed to be said though. Whats worrying is it appears little or nothing has been addressed.
 

 
Perfect summation, in hindsight.

I thought the timing sucked but may have had a better impact because of that, alas we ended up with a bitter support, civil war and absolutely no progress.

Yeah deffo. You are right mate. We've disagreed on this recently but its time to draw a line under it and move on starting the season afresh. They are still fighting about inactivity in preseason on Mad. FFS the season hasn't ended until after this weekend ffs and folk want all signings in place cos Hartley has signing his usual collection of journeymen and rejects.

Better to wait and get the cream than settle for lactive fluid. 😜

Confucious must've said that at one point? 
 

Will Liam Gallagher ever be anything without his brother?

Sorry if I've missed anything. Watching Blur murder Coffee and TV at the same time. Did anyone go to the Airdrie away game in 94 cup run? Did anyone see a newsagents get cleaned out with drink, i remember standing outside waiting on my cousin getting a carry out and this arab just walked in and came out with 48 cans of lager seconds after.

I was there that day LAO, I was 14 and there with my dad, no booze obviously, just remember Petric getting sent off and him walking off the park with his shirt over his face. Badgers goal in the replay though

Fave comedian Connolly in the 70's and 80's was amazing. Like Kevin Bridges and Peter Kays early stuff. Love Phoenix Nights.

You know, by all accounts Liam is sound as a pound. I'd love to see Liam move away from the rock and roll stuff and team up with a band that does dance/rock or even some sort of psychedelia outfit. His voice would be the biz with some decent lyrics.

The track he did with Death in Vegas was really good.
