Dundee United 10/05/16


Recommended Posts

The wee guy that scored the last goal looks a bit of a prospect for them. Caused us plenty of problems when he came on, though I think he had the wrong footwear on as he struggled to keep his feet on a few occasions. Very fast, direct, tricky and skilful

Looks like ICT are going to be gifted 3pts (as there won't be time to replay their game with United) so we really want them to win against Accies tomorrow. We can't catch ICT now so unless Dundee lose both their remaining games the best we can do will be 9th. Could be a dead rubber on Saturday.

 

Nobody else think that simply gifting three points to ICT would not be fair on other teams? Imagine it could affect who got into the top six, would the award of points still go ahead? At most, the game should be considered nul (no points for either side, or at best a 0-0 draw to both) and the Arabs hit with a substantial fine.

Scully was too far off his line for the last two goals and had no time to get down to save the shots. Cerny would have stopped both I feel.

Freddie first goal was from a corner not taken by Welsh. Freddie made an a*** of his second, but he ws very unfortunate. Welsh was ok generally but he will be glad the free-kick he took is not shown on highlights.

Agree as ICT have done nothing to earn the points. They could have lost 7-0 and they'd still be quids in. But this outcome is only coming into play because there's no time to replay the match. I certainly think it completely unfair they stand to earn £53K (maybe even £106K) for getting beaten.

I wonder if anyone at dens Pk will return the ball? :)

Despite us being safe, it is still unacceptable to be leading by two goals at two separate times in the match and not come away with the victory. The financial incentive of points was still there last night, and ultimately a total balls up was made. Encouragingly however, we have scored 7 goals in the last 4 matches which is a lot better than our <1 per match all season. Just looking forward to the season coming to an end now, and hopefully bringing in some quality next season. Even a point on Saturday would allow us to finish with the same amount of points as we did last season which wouldn't constitute too much of a back step.

Looks like minus 3 points for D Utd but no extra 3 points for ICT. Harsh on both teams I'd say, but that's only because we're safe :-)

 

Chairman Thompson has just thrown a hissy fit over the severity of this (ha!) and resigned from the SPFL board. Will Scottish football manage to struggle along without his input? Worrying times, eh?

Scottish football lurches from one crisis to another.

 

Time for another interjection from Henry McLeish.

Perhaps he was annoyed at another club playing incorrectly registered players for years and getting nothing but a fine for it even though they won lots of competitions while doing so? Still they sleep with the fishes in the liquiadtor bowl now.

 

[PS first sentence should have an irony icon after it]
