Ronnie Posted July 25 Report Share Posted July 25 If I was a United fan I'd be raging that our three COVID goals count - I wonder how many we would have scored if the game had been played.Fortunately I'm not a United fan - so I'm delighted! They 3 away goals at Dumbarton came in handy!! United only had two 1-0 victories away so even if we beat Dumbarton 1-0 our 3 at Stenhousemuir would have beat them 4-2 on away goals, Still shitty way to drop into unseeded place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the fourth way of separating teams after points, GD, GF. There has to be multiple ways to separate teams in such few game group stages. Surely a much fairer way than any other separator? United would have went out to us given practically any separating mechanism I can think of bar the alphabet 😂 Edited July 25 by bazil85 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had only beaten them 1-0 then we would have had a different overall total. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callum Gilhooley Posted July 25 Report Share Posted July 25 I thought overall we played well today , still just lacking the killer touch . I was “meh” when Main joined us but thought he had a good game today, Young Henderson is a find 👍. Power and McGrath ran the midfield and Big Dunne strolled it . Positive start to the season so far but we will need to move it up a level from next week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted July 25 Report Share Posted July 25 So if we're to be seeded and Dundee United aren't, what's the odds of us being drawn against them in the next round anyway ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted July 25 Report Share Posted July 25 If we had only beaten them 1-0 then we would have had a different overall total. Oh yeah this is too complicated in this heat. Guaranteed we draw them now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eckthesaint Posted July 25 Report Share Posted July 25 Season starts proper next week. I'd get all this negativity about our performance if we'd drawn or lost any of our cup games but 3 wins out of 3 playing not at our best is a habit I can live with.

COYS I agree, while I've only "seen" todays game I thought we played well, dangerous down both wings and on another day could easily have been 4 or 5. To sail through the qualifying says a lot about where we are IMO. Obviously bigger games coming up but, at this stage, we look more than reasonable. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottish League Cup Unfortunately the SLC has become a pre season warm up campaign as far as I'm concerned for a lot of clubs. Step up in quality next week will be a truer reflection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTOF Posted July 25 Report Share Posted July 25 (edited) 1 hour ago, Sonny said: Obviously pleased with result, seeding etc but not so enamoured with the long ball tactics missing out the midfield. Have to agree. Both McGrath and Kiltie are capable of running at defences. In the first half especially, they were bypassed. I thought that the defence struggled against long balls and left a lot of gaps for Thistle players to exploit. A better team would have punished us. I thought that Main did well today, apart from his finishing. He certainly needs to start taking his chances. Tanser and Henderson both did good work on the wings and their deliveries improved as the game progressed. Brophy did his best work too far away from the penalty box where he was fouled several times after doing great work to beat his man. Goodwin needs to tell him to push further up the pitch. Alnwick's passes out to the wings were superb. A far from scintillating performance, which admittedly got the job done, but a lot of improvement required before next week's league opener. Unsurprisingly, I think McCarthy should be in the back three as I think his heading ability, reading of the game, and speed on the ground, would help make the defence a bit more solid. Doubt it will happen, unless we stick Shaughnessy up front to show off his finishing prowess. Edited July 25 by FTOF 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazil85 Posted July 25 Report Share Posted July 25 Feel Henderson could be an absolute baller this campaign for us. Gets better every time I see him. Generally today’s game wasn’t a classic but he looked very good. Brophy also did everything bar score, will be a thorn in the side of defenders this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all fairness, seeding is hardly a privilege of the old firm. It’s commonplace throughout football. I do accept though that wherever it is used, it is always to favour the bigger clubs/countries. In this case, we happen to be considered one of those bigger clubs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
