We have still to play Ross County twice. A couple of weeks ago these games were seen as six pointers and a great opportunity to usurp them as league leaders. Rossco would implode. They're s**** many said. NOW, Rossco can throw both these games at us and p*** themselves laughing while they do it. If we keep going the way we are we will slump out of the play-offs. We cannot score goals. We can have 90% of the play but if we can't hit the inside of the net, it's all a waste of time. The most important aspect of a football match is scoring more goals than your opponent. We fail miserably time after time.
The Ogrens, said they are in this to make money and to have a bit of fun at the same time. Well we blew an excellent chance against ICT for them to recoup part of their investment and against Partick they certainly didn't get any fun. The way we are playing sends a clear signal that the January 'investment' in players was a waste of money and will require a repeat at the end of the season if they want a liklihood of a return to the top league. The standard of play will also send a strong message to them.
The Ogrens may well be looking at each other soon with accusatory eyes, saying 'this was YOUR idea!'

Play offs are crunch games and going to be on the telly.......we know the script already !
went through yesterday and wasnt surprised on how the game turned out. speaking to people before the game, we all said the same thing. with falkirk beating ayr it gave us a chance to not only keep up the pace with county but to go further clear of ayr but also said Partick would be up for it as they cant afford to drop ground on falkirk.
only one team looked like they had something to play for esp in 1st half. 2nd we were slightly better once we started to go for it. we gambled at the end to get the win and backfired. i dont have any real problem with us gambling because we had to but its the 1st half performance i was worried by. letting teams get on top of us and get ahead will always cause problems. we struggle to score enough as it is so.
overall abit deflated. soo many opportunities to catch county and never take them. it is still there but just very slim and going to be some run between now and end of season to win league. no slip ups. very frustrating. we arent even that great over the course of the season yet if we hadnt dropped points in a few games we would have been right in the mix!
not asif it gets any easier aswell a rejuvenated dunfermline away will be difficult! they arent conceding aswell! and could go 3pts behind us if they win! lets hope we finally get our finger out or RN has a magic hat to get us performing.
Unlike yourself Ram and many of our fans, Americans tend to have a positive attitude, they also love to win, not going up this season will likely make them more determined... He was clear that going up this season may not happen but we'd give it a go
the problem with that is though weve given it a go by spending money on basically a whole new team but performances dont suggest were giving it a go. if we went out with real attacking intent then fair dos but we look like wed rather battle through results. when weve tried to play quick attacking football no one can handle us yeah teams go out to stop us but we then resort to launching it with no real plan B
Local derby next season will be Arbroath Vs United.
Also hoping that Forfar win the play offs, as that would be another derby.
If Dundee get relegated, there would be two derbies against Dundee and Arbroath - and if Forfar manage to win the play offs, that would give us 3 derbies to look forward to.
If we can't beat Falkirk, Ayr, Partick or Inverness - we won't be winning any play offs, so the Championship next season it will be .
Please don't mistake reality for negativity. We are all going to die some day. That is a reality, not a negative statement. Having a positive attitude has caused most of us to continue over the last 4 years or so. There comes a time though, when the dividing lines between positivity and delusion are rather blurred. Let the remainder of the season determine our condtion.
