A guy with his pace and trickery should be trying to go round the defenders just about every time he gets the ball and either putting crosses in or having shots at goal. I know it is early days in the season but I have been disappointed with his attacking contribution so far. Hopefully he will be fitter. stronger and show us what he can do.

The Old Tolbooth Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I watched the Livingston v Aberdeen game yesterday, and I was expecting a lot more from the sheep, they were seriously lucky to get the win as Livvy were by far the better team, I saw nothing from Aberdeen to worry me for sure.

They were without Ferguson and didn’t start Brown. Ramirez was on the bench as well. I don’t think they’re as bad as you’re making out. Two very useful looking full backs too they’ve brought from the youth system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTJ Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 The "Mickey Mouse" Challenge Cup returns tonight/Wed. No English/Welsh/Irish sides this year but already the tournament looks to have hit the buffers. Ross Co & Livingston withdrew their B teams due to lack of players and now Motherwell have also withdrawn due to a covid outbreak in their youths. Opponents have all been awarded a 3-0 win. Crowds for B team games may hit a new record low for those left playing as lots of lower league team fans refuse to go to B team games. Our game with Edin City is held over to next week as I guess the ground is in use this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They massively overachieved for a decade because they had one of the best managers Scotland has ever had. To put into perspective, they never won their first major trophy until 1980 and have only won one more major trophy than East Fife. Sleeping giant? Eh, no!

Not sure who you meant by “one of the best managers”. If you meant Jim MacLean, then arguably they had an even better one in Jerry Kerr who took them from minnows playing in the old Division 2 at the end of the ‘50s (and by far the smaller of the two Dundee clubs) to one of the better clubs in Scotland by the start of the 70s. From memory, Jerry Kerr was quite a pleasant character not a grouchy old git. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s not what I said. I’m a Hearts fan not a Dundee United fan, but I am suggesting that it was the work of two managers that took Dundee United from a corner store shop to a club that reached a European Final over the space of thirty years. It’s true that United didn’t win anything under Jerry Kerr but he took them from the depths of the old second division playing against the dross of Scottish football and made them into a team that was good enough to play in Europe and beat Barcelona home and away. As for Jim McLean he was the right man for his times, when managers could bully players, who were tied down by long term contracts signed when they were still very young. I am more doubtful that he would have had the necessary skill set to succeed in the modern era of agents and freedom of contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
