Hambud Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 This is shaping up to be a very competitive and important game for both sides. Both are "form" sides. Both have strengthened their playing squads. Buchan an has joined them to strengthen their defence and Lee Miller has joined to give them more "bite" in the forward area. Looking forward to it. They've signed Ryan Hardie who everyone thinks is useless but has a very good scoring record against us.They also loaned someone from Hamilton the day after we signed Mullan. They have definitely strengthened for the run in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulsmfc Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 Did we not beat them fairly comfortably at Almondvale (aka Tony Macaroni Arena [emoji23]) last time round with ten men? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hambud Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 Did we not beat them fairly comfortably at Almondvale (aka Tony Macaroni Arena [emoji23]) last time round with ten men? Yes we did. That means very little. I remember us beating Clydebank 8-0 one week and then drawing 0-0 with them the next. I can remember a couple of humpings from Celtic before a couple of our glorious cup wins against them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livingstone are a different team now they have made some good signings in the January window. Go to YouTube and watch them dismantle Falkirk they look dangerous going forward could easily been 5. We know Falkirk are not great but they have had some not bad results lately. Edited February 6, 2018 by Isle Of Bute Saint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to YouTube and watch them dismantle Falkirk they look dangerous going forward could easily been 5. We know Falkirk are not great but they have had some not bad results lately. Another tough game in a long line of tough games.If Livingston have any ambition of winning the league (Although according to Neil Alexander they have gave that chase up),I fully expect them to all out attack which suits us imo. Expecting a few goals in this game can see if being a 3-2 or 3-3. Last season I went to Kirkcaldy 4 days after a great performance at Celtic Park, after the terrible performance that night v Raith I said on way home we could only afford to lose 1 more game until end of the season or we would finish 9/10th. We did lose only 1 more game, fast forward 12 months we have only lost 4 all season & realistically could probably lose another 4 in 12 games & still win the league.

But could you imagine if ? No nether could I. United supporters are really fearful they wont make play offs. Personally I think they will... But with one game in Feb in League, they could find themselves in 3rd and Ton, Pars or Queens breathing down their necks................ I actually believe , we beat Livi, and we win every time there, this is over bar the shouting................. I can see Jack getting the troops charged up for this one. Lets be honest, our wee holiday started in the Second Half against Queens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Pityme Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 Just doing a bit of forecasting, factoring in games in hand, allowing maybe for one call off, and the fact we have six games between now and then and Dun Utd seven to nine games league, as well as at least two cup games.... i believe Saturday 24th March home to Dumbarton will be our most likely (look away now Scott) match to clinch the title. aye, i know lots of football to be played, but given how we, and our competitors are playing that football, then our consistency points to being able to wrap things up about then. Dundee Utd will not win all their games before then, indeed they are in for a hellish time to just fulfill their commitments. Livi will go cold again, starting on the 17th, and our football, goals scored, clean sheets and win rate will only get better from here on in. Sat 24th March.... possible sell out against Dumbarton (except the visiting fan section of course)..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 You could make a case that if Livi slip up this Saturday against Dunfermline then they'll be out of it regardless of their result against us. As others have said, one game at a time. I'd take a point from this one to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you are right regarding the 24th, would love to win it at home, this got me thinking though, it would be a crying shame if fans were locked out (and I know the stadium has never been full) as a consequence of there being only a couple of hundred or so away fans in that whole away stand. I know it's still early days but I wonder if there's anything the club can do to make sure as many home fans are in as possible in the event of us winning it at home??

Was the away stand not split once before when we played Hamilton not long after the ground opened ? Think it was a game we had to avoid losing or we were going down or is old age kicking in ?

Believe me Dumbarton are lucky to get past fifty travelling support. If the scenario i forecast did play out i think they would find a section in the main or family stand for the few dozen Dumbarton fans who might attend and fill the place. just following up on my forecast, the only thing i can think of as a minor concern for us between now and season end is if Sammy got injured/suspended. He has delivered a few clean sheets this season, and i would only be slightly concerned about that scenario because we have seen so little of Stewart in the first team. If called on he might well come in and play a blinder. in every other area of the park we have competition for the jersey, quality cover for injury and suspension and a consistency well beyond the rest of the league. Once united play a few of there games i predict the league will be over in all but name whilst we look forward to the fixture that puts it to bed. I can see utd missing out on the runners up spot.

With their form and having made a couple of decent signings I would expect TNS to make home advantage count in this one. a good multiple bet would be a TNS v Crusaders cup final, with Crusaders to lift the cup!
