St Johnstone (a)

[Teddy Bear]

Yeh I’m hearing it’s his ACL and it’s a season out job. Looks like Carson is going to have to step up to the plate and basically do the job he was bought for but for different reasons than were originally planned.

That is a major blow to United.

Sorry to hear this, superb keeper I was hoping rangers would move on him. Hope Utd find a suitable replacement

[shedka]

If he is out for the season - IF - i wonder if we will offer him a new contract for two years with sell on clause/promise?

He may think he is still young for a keeper, we are looking after him and sign, then have another season with us on his return...

If Carson is anything like he was before his injuries then we have a good keeper but what do we have after Carson is the bigger concern as if gets injured then could hinder us bigtime

I read that all away tickets are sold, good effort.

Is there now a general feeling that this tayside derby is a bigger game? Saints won the double whoch is a remarkable achievement. United and Saints both great clubs now, as an outsider it looks like a very tasty fixture, good luck to you tomorrow it will be tough but hope to see you lidl up three points!

Not a derby for us, there is more a rivalry with StJ and Dundee though

Our derby is Dundee and other main rival is Aberdeen (who don't care about Dundee)

I'd assume if he is out for the season then we would probably bring in a back up to Carson, even if its on loan.

No, nobody cares about St Johnstone. They want to have rivalries with United and Dundee, but neither of the Dundee clubs care enough. Its just another game to us.

Exactly. Don't give a f*ck about St. Johnstone. It isn't a rivalry in the slightest. They're a bunch of farmer c*nts who nobody cares about. It's sold out because they're half an hour up the road.

[Arabdownsouth]

Big blow, gutted. This also means we will have to be able to rely on Newman as back up as to bring in a replacement will mean one less place on the wage bill for a new signing 😕

The only shining light.

Carson starts newman on bench. Levitt starts too

[shedka]

Butcher and Harkes not on bench so both must be carrying injuries

Carson
Smith Edwards Mulgrew Robson
Fuchs Levitt
Pawlett Clark Sporle
McNulty

Maybe different shape but yea still can do with
getting the players mentioned back plus Appere as it's a very weak looking bench

St Johnstone will have by far a stronger bench to turn to during the game

[shedka]

Only two changes for them, strong team out
