Another run out for the team today will see anorher load of players see game the same as last night.
Apparently we will start with those who didnt start last night. Interesting to see if Sow makes the line up.
Anyone heading down?
Online!
Wonder if booth, butcher and Clark might play???

3-2 defeat. Nothing changes with us at the Rock. Good run out for Shankland got around 60 mins and bagged first goal!

Embarrasing result.

Embarrasing result.
Really?
Played 2 games in 20 hours... started game with mostly 2nd string team bar 2 or 3.
End of week 2 pre-season with double sessions most of the week.
Hearts and Hibs both lost to Arbroath in the last week. Its not embarassing, its pre season. The point of pre-season is that results mean nothing and its sharpness that counts. We made 9 subs on 70 mins and 12 subs in total throughout the match. Lots of game time and now the real stuff begins next Friday.
I dont feel embarrassed by it to be honest.

Because you are the type of Utd fan who always tries to sugarcoat everything.
It was a 3rd tier team who played 6 trialists.

one thing to come out of it might be a decision made on any players Neilson was on the fence with.
Frans, Watson et al.

How do you know what kind of United fan I am, do you know me personally? I dont accept a comment like that to be honest and I dont understand why you needed to say that?
You could just disagree with my opinion, no need for that comment.
I was as unhappy and embarrassed as anyone at the end of last season and the 3 seasons before that, but I tell you what, positivity goes a long way in life, maybe you should try it sometimes.
Didnt post on here for a big chunk of last season but felt quite a bit of positivity as the summer began so began reading and contributing again. Cant go near Mad as every thread is taken over by supreme negativity and personal comments but this forum is usually different. If thats the kind of reply im going to get for trying to think positively about a PRE-SEASON defeat then I'll probably just start swerving this forum tbh.
Thanks though 'Tek' I'll try my best to start focusing on negatives all the time. That will help me massively.

I don't know you, no.
But i could have predicted you would jump on my post.
It's just a pre-season game, so i won't be losing any sleep over it. But it's time to cut the shit and stop this attitude of just accepting embarrasing results.
That result today has shown a few up and in that regard probably is a good thing. A reminder to Neilson that there are one or two '1st team squad' players who simply aren't good enough.

I dont accept embarassing results. But i dont see a pre season defeat (unless maybe by 2 or 3 goals) as embarassing. Just my own outlook.
Anyway, I'll just not post anything positive anymore. Dont want to upset you.

Yes, I'm annoyed you felt the need to make a comment about what 'type of Utd fan' I am. Dont see you doing that to many others on this board and not once have you ever engaged with me on here then you make it out I'm some kind of typical poster who is overly positive all the time, please give me examples because I am a very measured fan but tend not to post on here when feeling negative about the club as discussing the bad times doesnt help me get over it, blocking it out for a while does.
Clearly cant post what I want as you decided to call me out for being positive. I'm not proclaiming it was a fantastic result. I'm saying there is some context to the result and big picture is the most important thing. If we go on to fail to get out of Betfred group or something along those lines then yes, alarm bells will be ringing.

As I was not at the game I will not be making comment on team or individual performances as it would not be right to do.
However the result is a very poor one especially given the fact Dumbarton had so many trialists involved so not exactly a full strength team of their own. However given it is only a friendly and given the game last night as well I will not get too panicked about it yet, just as I did not get carried away by putting 6 past Brechin City last night.
If there is one positive I would take regardless of opposition is Shankland getting his first goal friendly or not, the first of many to come I hope.
On to Tynecastle on Friday night and hopefully a positive result to start the season.

One of the trialists was Zata who we released.

I just said you can post what you want.
Sometimes when you post, people might disagree with you and you might not like the response you get, however.
That's how Football Forums work.
I'm not going to reign in my opinion that taking 3 to that mob today isn't embarrasing though, incase i offend anyone or put them off posting.

Of course forums are all about opinions, so when I post my opinion I'd appreciate in future you constructively disagree instead of commenting on what type of fan I am? Notice I have not mentioned that about you once in this discussion. I have no problem with your opinion on the result and I've put my opinion across. You are the one who made the snidey comments about my personality.
Happy to just put this to bed now as it must be very boring for other posters.

Yes it must. I am fine with you posting whatever you want.
But you did make an assumption about my character with the 'you should try it sometime' comment.
Not that it's a big deal. But not sure how that's much different from what you're annoyed at me for 🤔
Anyway, you're right. Let's put it to bed.

Your 2 initial comments are what I am unhappy about but you know what its fine. I apologise if I made an assumption about your character. Have a good night.
