    Nae chance we will get top 3. Too many teams hitting form just now , and others picking up a few points that were hard to come by, not so long ago.

    Top 6? Defo....... Been a great season so far considering, we were going straight back down...

    I'm going for 6th .... and quite happy with that. (no bad ata)

    I feel so strongly about this I've just decided to send an email to the SFA to express my feelings on the subject.


    To whom it may concern.

    I'm writing to express my anger,frustration,dismay and utter bemusement at the decision to disallowed the recent legitimate goal scored by Sam Dalby for Dundee United against Hibernian. I personally believe this to have been blatant cheating by the VAR operative on the night rather than just utter incompetence. Scottish football relies upon fans attending games and the use of VAR in our top flight has been utterly scandalous and is killing the enjoyment of the game for people like myself. Dundee United mean everything to me and the damage done to our season by incompetence and outright bias could be financially catastrophic for the club. The person responsible for this latest decision should,in my opinion be banned from officiating at Premiership level and from ever being allowed near VAR again.

    I fully expect my email to land upon deaf ears of course and for nothing whatsoever to happen,but I'd like you all to be aware how fans of provincial clubs such as United are affected by the corrupt nature of our officials.

    Regards,
    Arabdownsouth.

    Of course I expect no reply but will post it if I get one.

    No coincidence that it was probably one of our most important games regarding league positions.

    Massive difference from where we are now, and where we might have been.

    While credit is due to Hibs for turning around their start to the season, they have profited from 2 absolutely outrageous decisions and i fully believe they are 6 points ahead of where they should be. Im sure in both games that incorrect decisions gave Hibs the upper hand which they capitalized on.

    Where we might have been, am i right in thinking we could have been 9 points ahead of this resurgent Hibs team?

    Sadly i doubt there will be any compensatory aspect to this where all we will hear is "its just football"!

    Exactly mate, absolutely crucial game and my anger just won't go away. This c*nt absolutely has to be made accountable. He won't of course,he had the whistle for the Celtic game tonight it seems.

    I still am at a loss regarding Dickenson getting 3 of our games recently and the decisions that have gone against us, obviously McDermid more to blame for the Dalby goal

    However St Mirren away in January, we won but he awarded that pen in stoppage time when it was a clear dive, the fact VAR looked at that and didn't overturn it and took Walton to save it for us to win, THEN a 5 person kmi panel vote 5-0 to say it was a penalty when on every replay I seen it showed it was a dive

    Then you fast forward to Killie away, another's crucial game and a tight one, their goal, ok since think it was a foul some don't, Dickenson let's the goal stand even though it looked like a foul, his first instinct was not too call a foul and gave VAR check it, he was happy for it to be a goal, for me on the replays you can see Watkins arms bang Walton's arm, impedes him but maybe they don't want to go against the ref? Either way imo should have been disallowed but it's the fact he had a good view and most of the time refs or VAR call fine those as fouls, would have been a good away point in the end

    Wednesday don't need to repeated, we know what bullshyt that was with VAR , we also all saw how Dickenson reffed the game and it was clearly not in our favour

    I just don't trust the motives of these guys sorry, they all like football and they all support someone and they have bias in this country, it's a small country with 75% of the population in the Central belt, the majority in greater Glasgow and many hvns etc or people that will have connections with guys who support Ayrshire/Lanarkshire clubs etc more liable to away towards those cuddly clubs than Utd, Edinburgh and surrounding area the next biggest, think they are getting it right in turkey getting in Slovenian refs and the like for games like Galatasaray v Fenerbache

    If we made a list of the blatant bad VAR decisions and put the footage below with a slowed down GIF of each and showed it to someone from say England and said what do you make of these? Can you imagine their reaction, the Dalby one from wed, the pen in paisley, the goal in Killie, the Curtis main dive that wasn't even VAR checked, the watt sending off v Motherwell

    Obviously as was mentioned by James we have so many others that are so bad before VAR, not in nothing games, in big games

    Crazy really, honest mistakes though? Not every one, I'll never be convinced otherwise

    Seemingly they couldn't draw lines for offside because there was bodies in the way. What! Bodies in the way?? Oh dear. A 12 year old gamer could do better with that.
    But they kept looking and decided if they said it was head to hand no one would be able to say they were wrong. Bad idea. Found out. Cheats.
