You're input has been missed mate so don't be a stranger. Say it as you see it,it's as simple as that.

Exactly. Say it as you see it. However, if you can't handle people having varying opinions, then a football forum is probably not the place for you. 👍🏼

I am offended at your opinion here

This is absolute not what I said.

I completely agree.

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.

Ganging up or voicing a different opinion?

Three people who have a different opinion on the Harkes/Butcher debate you mean? That's all it is, a different opinion. You're allowed that on a football forum.

Chick was shot down? I assume this is aimed at me? He in fact started the debate when I suggested we're disadvantaged this season without Shankland. I gave my opinion back, and quite rightly so, he did likewise. We didn't 'shoot each other down' we debated our opinions, disagreed and got on with it.

The board is very open. Everyone has a different opinion. This is what keeps the place going & makes it work imo. No one owns the board whatsoever.

As you've been reading the forum most days while you've been away, I'm sure you'll have noticed Craigbrew has a somewhat aggressive posting style and regularly attacks Shedkas views and opinions, along with recently calling ADS an idiot and a ****. I'm surprised you haven't mentioned this in your damming report of Utd Mad when you talk of guys ganging up, dissenting voices and folk being shot down.

Hey Stoke - hope all well!!! I agree with most of what you have said. We really have done well to be sitting 4th but certainly not by playing well or 100% we are not entertaining. Negative lightweight and totally unbalanced squad.

I think most people are of this opinion tbh, no? I'm really not getting Stokes point on the matter.

Yep, I've not really seen anyone who's said they are happy with the style of play. But refusal to give credit to the management for potentially finishing 4th with an unbalanced squad and virtually no fire power is just churlish in my opinion. Comments like the 'head in the sand brigade' make me laugh tbh when it's coming in the same breath as ganging up on people for voicing their opinion.

Interesting - chicken and egg. I tend to agree (and have prasiedbeing 4th!!) - deep down i want Courts and Tony out BUT maybe the issue is all Tony's or maybe its we have too many cooks in background, maybe courts doesnt pick team. The key issue is the unbalanced squad, no creativity, lightweight kids being thrown in not ready, obvious ommissions that should start (freeman), weird subs and lastly no striker and lastly again resigning players who were p!sh first time round even as loan players. So whoever is responsible for all of that or the majority of that needs to change or leave. 4th is epic really in circumstances but with the same p!shing in the wind as last two seasons we could be in trouble next season.

So i agree with everyone (except for the bits i dont agree with)

Its just so fvcking frustrating, things like ibrox were embarrasing. I suppose some folk get more annoyed at the odd poster tryng to defend the indefensible. Each to their own and it could be argued those posters are just more glass half full folk and positive. I look at the table and think fvck sake thats amazing, i got to a game and think fvck sake i never want to go back. Of course we all end up going back.

So really stoke has his opinion, the positive posters too (i wish i had that positivity), some banter and some aggressive stuff. i like the board even though i scratch my head at some of the comments. then again i probably contribute to most of the scratching of heads when i post angry/p!ssed/nuts

Something just not right with our recruitment, squad, selctions etc and thats always going to get negative comments (from me included) when performances are as woeful as they have been.
