Captain America Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Personally I dont mind him staying but I also don't mind him going as long as it's out of the EPL and for at least 18-20 million.He's traveling to Germany now to go through the weeks training camp and then the Cologne game so we'll see what happens after that, I do think he might have a change of heart. Either way he's still Captain at the moment so I'd cheer him anyway he doesn't quite deserve a Nasri when he played his last game for Arsenal.

waltz Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Jamie LOLfield.Total clanger.Ha, yeah, that was fun.Not hugely impressed by Celtic today, passing was generally poor and it was a largely disjointed performance. We scraped by. Aberdeen looked a lot better than last season, far more organised defensively with Russell there. It'll be interesting to see how Aberdeen look with a few more games under their belt, their movement looked better, playing with actual wingers.

Moose Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Was pleased with Aberdeen, particularly in the 2nd half. Anderson was really great, and the two wingers look lively. Should have been a 0-0 draw, bar a defensive lapse/goal-keeping blunder, so overall I am satisfied. Should be a good season for Aberdeen (jinx).Was a shite game, though.

Soda Jerk Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 As a total neutral not really caring who wins, I was surprised how well Aberdeen did. I thought they were the better team, and didn't look overly troubled. A little lack of cohesion amongst the forwards though, but had the better of the ball.I like the look of that Kenyan lad for Celtic, Wanyama. He's hard as nails. I hear some PL clubs are after him too. He loves to get stuck in. Painfully one footed though. Got caught out by trying to pass the ball with the outside of his only foot. No excuse for that.I don't usually watch SPL, but it was just great news that some live competitive club football was on the telly, I just had to watch. Fun goal.

Scootray Posted August 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Someone tweeted "Die Clangers" to him. What a knob.Yes, he's a bit of a shite keeper, but he's our shite keeper, and no-one deserves that. Hope the lad who did it gets a lifetime ban as the club are aware of it.

The Milner Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 I thought the dons looked solid yesterday, we were never going to be a huge attacking threat but we offered as much going forward as Celtic did. Anderson and Osbourne really impressed me, both defended well and were composed enough to take a touch rather than just punt it constantly. There is no accounting for the goal but shit happens, Clangers had a decent enough game up to that point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain America Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Dundee United looked really good today against a very poor hibs it has to be said though.So pleased we've held on to Johnny Russell, I reckon this will probably be his last United season (if he makes it past January). Mackail Steven was great as well, he'll be poached before long sadly.Looking forward to seeing us against some of the better teams! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Easy Wishes Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 It's "Mackay-Steven", not Mackail. Sorry.Sportscene is just terrible. The commentator for the Ross County game was awful (a woman lads, on a football show?). "The ball in from Vigurs was met by Brittain who put the ball wide" - no, it wasn't a ball in, it was a five yard pass inside to Brittain, outside the box no less, who took a touch or two before having a shot. AWFUL.The cameras not catching the St Mirren red card offence was bad, too. That show could be so much better - having manager interviews post-highlights for a start, like on MotD - but generally the highlights packages are not comprehensive and the chat afterwards is laughable.

I thought it was a bit like Pro Ev or Fifa where there are certain programmed soundbites that don't always make sense.I think that 45 minutes is probably enough to sum up an SPL weekend but it could certainly be done better. The BBC interview all managers for the radio afterwards. Can they not just take a video camera?

Adam Easy Wishes Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Exactly! I mean, seriously, Scottish football needs to engage with fans on all levels much better. At the moment we have fans across Scotland in a pretty receptive state, an excitement about this season (sans Rangers), that just hasn't existed in my recent memory. I think the BBC do an excellent job with their radio coverage, but their TV part really feels like it's more of an afterthought than anything else. Paul 'squeeky' Mitchell is an abhorrent commentator, also. Get Richard Gordon back presenting and stick Rob McLean and Liam McLeod in the commentary positions.Get the highlights on a Saturday night, too! There's always chat about how the Scottish game is and has drifted far away from the English game of recent times - which is true - but when kids can sit at home and watch eight games from the English Premier League on a Saturday night, why would they care about then watching a thrilling 0-0 draw between St Mirren and Ross County, or whatever? Notwithstanding the fact the show is probably on after their bedtime on a Sunday night when they have school in the morning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember reading a similar article in a major national newspaper that tried to claim Danny Simpson is the world's fastest right-back. Silly newspaper, Danny Simpson isn't the best at anything.

Soda Jerk Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Danny Simpson to you seems to be what John O'Shea used to be for me. You've really got it in for that tattooed little scruff! I've always quite liked him. I didn't want him to leave United, and when United played Newcastle both times last season he seemed to be responsible for a few goal line clearances, the little shit.
