How much money are United throwing at this to try and get promoted..?

The Rangers chat is pointless because he moved down South for personal reasons as well as financial ones. If he wishes to move on from Preston then it will be to another English club as those personal reasons still exist...

I have thought since January that our back three next season will be Dunne, Hartley and Aldred. Which I could live with...

No real failures in our team overall. Surprised to see Tait feature so heavily in people's thoughts as during the game I felt he had given the ball away a lot by his standards but he probably deserves a mention for that late block alone. For me, it's between Main or Campbell. Going to go for Main given he had the most thankless task. At least Campbell had people alongside him helping him...

Scottish Premiership Game 30 :Celtic (H) 18/03/18 14:15

Were I a bookmaker, barring injury, I'd give you odds of about 1/7 that this will be our lineup. Stick on.. -

Regarding Tanner's injury, I'd love to think it would offer MacLean or Turnbull an opportunity between now and the end of the season. Realistically it probably means a midfield of Rose, Campbell and McHugh for the foreseeable future with Bigirimana and Grimshaw stepping in for the likes of the semi final... -
I notice there's no Cadden in the Scotland U21 squad on the BBC website despite club Twitter saying he'd been selected...

The other unavoidable fact here is that for the past season and a half, for better or worse, our team was set up to benefit him. He was the focal point with a large part of our tactics involving 'Get the ball to Louis'. One of the reasons we struggled in December before we spent January looking for (and finding) an alternative plan...

Scottish Premiership Game 30 :Hamilton (A) 10/03/18 15:00
MelvinBragg replied to Yabba's Turd's topic in Club Chat
If I told you we were going to face Accies and they'd have sold a midfielder to Rangers and that Imrie, Crawford and MacKinnon were going to be unavailable, I guarantee that you would also expect us to win. Bottom line is that we were poor in both boxes yesterday (we seemed to panic at every Accies set piece). Our attacking seemed 'tentative' for want of a better word. Haggis suggested that their pitch is in our heads. I was starting to think that at the game yesterday but I suspect that it may be that whenever we play poorly there, we as fans emphasise the importance of the pitch. And it is dreadful, make no mistake... -

Quite. Partick are 10 points behind us in 11th. Goal difference is 16 worse than ours so call it 11 points. They would need to win 4 games out of 9 remaining. So far they've won 6 out of 29. And those four wins would only be enough if we fail to pick up more than a single point. We were poor today but we'll win at least one more league game this season. On another matter, Ciftci was poor again today. Still running like he's towing a caravan. Others were as poor but at least seemed to have the energy to get about. I agree Tanner up front didn't work, but I'd have dropped Ciftci anyway, for Bowman rather than Rose... -

Tanner up front with Main. Rose in midfield with McHugh and Campbell. He doesn't get much wrong Robinson but not sure about that set up. Three strikers on the bench... -

Scottish Cup Final v Celtic (Hampden) 19/05/18 15:00
MelvinBragg replied to something else's topic in Club Chat
Neither did I. But having done the Hampden tour recently, it apparently stems from way back when fans travelled from the East end or the South side of Glasgow on foot and the decision was made on the basis of the ease of getting them into the ground without too much difficulty. As I say, that's the reason the official SFA Hampden tour gives... -

So tickets cheaper than Accies then? -

Suspect it's no different to the prices there earlier in the season and it's maybe just been thrown into sharp focus given the prices for yesterday's game but £23 and £13 for a game at that dreadful stadium seems steep. As for the game, they'll be up for it. We'll need to make sure we are... -
Went for Dunne. Our best defender for the last six or seven games, our best player on a few occasions. Passing is slowly improving (lovely ball to Frear today) and he won a couple of tackles he had no right to win. New contract, please...

Scottish Premiership Game 28: Dundee (A) 24/02/18 15:00
MelvinBragg replied to Yabba's Turd's topic in Club Chat
Assumed their wee pal Neil was going to get the win so had us at 32? First time in years that we've had a team that can grind a result out while playing poorly. Should we just be grateful for it..? -

MelvinBragg replied to Yabba's Turd's topic in Club Chat
Aye, but also saying that Dundee are by far the better team. We must be bad if official Twitter is saying it. -
I like Tanner but, and I don't have the stats to hand obviously, even with Dunne's odd misplaced pass I suspect his passing accuracy percentage was better than Tanner's today...

I'm sure he's aware of that given he said "we should have made more of that". Your constant berating of Robinson makes me think that you are Mark McGhee in disguise... -

Just shows you how people see games differently. I like Tanner but thought he was poor today. And I thought Rose had a decent game. And I'd disagree that we played 442 in any of the league cup games. For me, all of those games were 352 formations... -
New kits for next season, I'm told...

Don't tell his agent that. Quotes I read suggested he favoured coming here because he'd be in the first team squad...
