Craig you are bang on with most of your questions and opinions but there are a few in here who will gang up on you because you dare to speak the truth.
If you dare to suggest we are mediocre (or worse) there are at least 3 posters who will argue we could be less mediocre if we had Harkes and Butcher in the team. Crazy logic.
It's f*cked up and to be absolutely honest this board has become f*cked up in its perverse defence of the current position based on how we are brilliantly more mediocre than the other teams. Who, by the way, will not f*ck up for much longer.
Chick was shot down because he pointed to our attacking issues. "I agree"
The head in the sand brigade have claimed this forum as their own. It's disappointing because I thought this board was open. It's not open any more. Questioning or dissenting voices will be drowned out. 4th place, get real . Get real. As GB says a second division Cypriot side would probably embarrass us.
And, by the way, I've watched all our games this season, every one, and we are absolutely sh1te. No clue. And I've been watching Dundee United FC since 1963.
Cheers buddy. I'm willing to go further, well maybe I'm not ready to come out (ooh err missus) but I have a few Spanish friends, some involved in football, some not. Ok, they've watched a few of our matches and the comments I would say could be summarised like this
I like your goalkeeper
Your left back McMann is a warrior
Why does Freeman not play he is also a warrior for the team
Why can your players not control the ball
You seem to struggle to create anything at all
What is your style what is your way of playing
When is your coach bringing your striker on
Sorry I hope you are not offended xxxx
Ok i could go on.
Yes I get that we are in transition.
Yes I get that we have over achieved
In a league of mediocrity
(Quote, Mourinho "you are masters of mediocrity ")
Attendances are dropping. Atmosphere is disappearing.
The money for 4th place is great, but I'd rather see 8000 at Tannadice v Kilmarnock than 5500 v Famagusta in a two leg tie we lose.
I'll say it once more, we are sh1te, there's no putting it any other way. Sorry if that's not what you want to hear but it's from a lifelong supporter.
I mean, wtaf was that sh1tshow at Ibrox about??
Sporle cant get a start and probably away but he starts over there. Cudjoe, may well be one for the future but hasn't started but starts over there?
Freeman, one of our most attacking, physically fit aggressive players capable of running at defences can't get a start.
Meekison, sorry to say, ineffective but not subbed (please correct me if I'm wrong)
I'm delighted with 4th or 5th, delighted, but this weird rotation or whatever it's described as is utter nonsense. Does TC even know what his best team is? This league won't be as easy twice in a row.
I would welcome the forum happy clappers to post up what they think Tams best 11 is. Go on, try me. Because I'll tell you one thing right now, whichever 11 you select he never plays it twice in a row.
I am totally happy with 4th or 5th but at the same time is it ok to be totally pissed off?
The missing numbers in our ground would seem to agree.
Thank you for that , i mean big thank you, i have been told i am a really nasty person, that i am not, i was feeling guilty, people think i don't care, i fk do care i have loved united for a bloody long time, there was game v tarts must been 76, or 77, Jim Mac was manager i was just kid then, sure they stuffed us 3-0 sure it was long time ago so no 100% , we were in shed Maclean must go we were singing we were fk awful, it is the only time in my life i have ever sung and abused united, even now i am ashamed, but i was only 13 or 14, but still wrong. that was the ugly, we know the good , the great european nights they were the days , Kevin Galagher goal v barca on my birthday , they were the days, now is the eye bleeding, i do not even ask for a lot , loads shouting eueope here we come, 4th yippee, i could not give flying fk all.. i want to see us play half decent football, like we know what we are fk doing.. i will only say how i feel not going to lie to keep others happy.. thank you for that dade me feel i am still human, one guy said are you sure you are an arab..if we except **** they will keep delivering ****..
A heartfelt post Craig. I can't speak for the fans but I'm pretty sure I'm on solid ground when I say that fans want to be entertained with aggressive creative attacking football.
Where players can actually pass the ball to each other, move it forward and score a goal or two.
They dont want to go to Tannadice and see a boring defensive display and a 0-0 followed by posts on here saying maybe we could have done better but we're missing creative midfield maestros like Harkes and Butcher, what do you expect, Pirlo?
I agree with your assessment. And so does Gunboat. We bought a very good player in Watt but some fans are now turning on Watt.
Why? Because he has zero support.
As GB says we have taken two players in Shankland and Watt and made them fail. Not completely because there's still time for Tony Watt.
Watt's struggling and falling about more because he's desperate. He has no skill around him, no one making runs beyond him, no target man laying off to him. Our midfield is a disaster, has been for years.
We are a basket case, and we need to sort it.
We have a close season coming up, let's hope we do sort it.
BIg thank you Stokie, your bit like me you speak your mind, and from your heart , if it upsets people so be it... cup finals europe , fk hell lets start fk playing proper football with fk proper tactics, fans will not keep paying to watch that forever, that is a mathimatic certainty sooner later lots find other things to do on saturday. the worst fans are the ones watch any **** on offer , demand better not fk good enough in my eyes, but i am no an arab, fk i think i have got more than an arab badge..lol
