Watched the game against Saints. What can I say, that performance first half was great. Getting to the byline and hitting in crosses low and hard brought about our goal. Backheel to play in Pappoe was a delight. Naamo should have scored but he delayed and duffed the chance by then.

Bert Esselink reminded me about an Uruguayan who played many years ago in a reserve match for United. Bert scored a great goal and his distribution was excellent. I'd go as far as saying his composure and reading of the game was similar to that of another great foreigner for us, Siggi Jonsson.

The Uruguayan Edison Machin? I was at that game he looked sublime! Never missed a tackle, a header or miss placed a pass?.gutted we never signed him.

Certainly was Machin. Unlucky not to grab a goal himself but was absolutely amazing. These were the days when you had reserve games played at the actual stadiums where fans could get along to the games. No age restrictions on the players allowed to play. Unlike this coming season where it is 19 years old with a number of over aged players.

Did the national team not qualify for the World Cups in 86 & 90? Not sure about the European Championships in 88 & 92? However young players, playing against senior pros in the reserves brought them on more than this age restricted pish. Trialists were allowed and that game was many years ago but you and I still remember it for that reason, seeing Machin play. Problem indeed with his passport unfortunately. Wouldn't mind getting a few player recommendations from him if they played the game like he did.

Thursday 31st July. United win in Europe.

Dundee FC did not have a game today.
Their few remaining fans spent the day bickering with each other and convincing themselves that all the other teams in the league are going to be as bad as them.

Update ends.

I was watching Motherwell v Sevco there, and both teams were pissing about at the back with the ball. I'll never understand why coaches think this is a good idea.

If that second half is anything to go by Motherwell are going to be a real handful this season.

Hopefully with us having Bert we will not see this pish from United. His game intelligence is to seek out his best option and I like how early in the game he looks to send it out wide to the fullbacks or other centre halves. The St Johnstone friendly he saw an opening in front of him and he played a perfectly waited pass which created an opportunity. His long ball passing is mint as well. In both ties against Una Strassen he found players with raking passes.

If only we could find a central midfielder with the same calmness and effortless passing............

Good to see you're back safely GB.

Wonder how long it will take before a team full oh Simon Hurrys are told to make sure Bert doesn't have the time to do that?

SPL ... jist sayin'

Yeah, the boy Just got himself into a few great positions.
