We need to bottle that and do it again another 10x.  Starting next week! We need to somehow get a few more wins and see how yer Killies and Hamiltons and Particks handle pressure.

Bang on Bowers!

Team shouldn't change next week, for me that was one for the best 1st half performance I've ever seen from United! Si Murray was unreal as was spittal, rankin and Paton! Please please say this is game wee need for us to kick on

Really really enjoyed that today Lads.

From even before kick off today something felt different.Arabs everywhere offering each other vouchers to get in,a real sense of comradship and togetherness that was encapsulated by the great flag display in the ETL as the team emerged.

Most satisfying of all is that this spirit was mirrored in the 11 Utd players on the park.

From the very 1st minute today we seemed to 'want it'.And even when it was only a half chance our players looked to strike the ball on goal.That first half was as good as i've seen us play in a long long time and we in truth massacred Killie who could not handle our energy,pace,drive and tenacity.

Key to this for me was Simon Murray.He really has added so much to the forward line and his hunger and chasing down everything was brilliant to witness.He also held the ball up when he had to and moved it quickly at other times.Set-up an assist for Spittal and was robbed of his own goal when the Ref unfairly adjudged him to have fouled the Kilmarnock player who (to my eyes) just tumbled going for the ball.

Rankin was great today.Full of energy and passion and really embraced that role out on the left wing.

Paton though not fully fit got really stuck in and made our midfield look at last one that won't be a pushover.His aggression and tenacity will be vital in coming weeks.

Spittal must surely now have won over most Arabs?His technique is superb.Yes the second was perhaps a 'fluke' but the 1st goal was a great controlled low drive.He was great on that right hand side today and is now starting to add goals regulary to his game (always always good goals too).

Only downside was the injuries to Donaldson and the again impressive Demel.Fingers crossed neither are out for too long.Or at all.

Today was just one win and 3 points.But it was a day all Arabs deserved and gives us a wee glimmer of hope and pride back.

Bring on the Plastic Whistle.

Funny you should say that Tek. I gave a m8 oe mine the K voucher, so he could get in for a fiver. Doesna have an ST coz he works weekends a lot, so he agreed to buy me a couple oe pints during our post match discussion. When he went to the shop, boys handin oot Tickets and vouchers. Boy handed him a Ticket to the  ETL, and he got in for phuck-all. That was brah, coz he bought me 4 pints. Of course, being the gentleman that I am, I bought him 4 in return.

Demel apparently only has a dead leg so should be fine for Saturday, fingers crossed

Think the Demel injury was from a challenge by the wee Killie sub Adam Frizzell, nothing much in it at all. Would expect Demel to be okay by tomorrow, he's about three times the size of the laddie who caught him.
