Dundee United

[The Peepmaster]

I think one of the best games United have played this season, up until today, was against Hearts, which United went on to win 3-0. Aberdeen are certainly no better than Hearts, and so it was proved with yet another good win for the Tangerines today. (Aberdeen have had a mini-run of three games unbeaten, I believe). Confidence should be high in the Dundee United camp which augers well for the next game against Hibs, at Tannadice, on Wednesday.

Your thoughts?

[Roger Kettle]

Well, of course, you're right, Trevor. Confidence is paramount in football today and it certainly seems to be coursing through the veins of these tangerine tigers. However, the game against Hibernian F.C. on Wednesday will be a stern test and the veins of these tangerine tigers will have to have confidence coursing through them if they are to notch another victory.

How much did you miss Roy O'Donovan, if at all?

[Roger Kettle]

We didn't miss that tangerine tiger at all. He was, in fact, available after serving his one-match suspension but was surplus to our requirements.

[The Peepmaster]

Ah, I hadn't realised he'd been eligible to play again. Certainly a result to be positive about, and following on from a terrific performance in Glasgow, of course, (as I'd been meaning to mention to Mince).

We interrupt this programme for a public service announcement:

Four points clear at the top of the First. Ya beyooootay!

Now back to your scheduled programming.....

[The Peepmaster]

Actually, I think you'll find Wolves are six points clear!

[Roger Kettle]

Happy days, Peeps and Tarks. Happy days.

[The Peepmaster]

Who do you think Mince should support?

I suggest Kiddermincester

[Malc]

Why do I get the feeling this isn't about the tangerine tigers at all, and why wasn't I asked to be part of it, whatever it is?

And don't post any of your false innocence rubbish "what? who, us? don't know what you mean..."

[The Peepmaster]

Dear Malcolm,

You are cordially invited to join our football-related thread.

 

Incidentally, I hear that St Johnston have made an audacious attempt to take the Rangers left back, Steven Smith, on loan. If this comes off, it could help cement a promotion place, but is it the consensus amongst the Perth fans that such a signing is necessary?

Hang on - I'll go ask them. BRB

I'll join in any football-related topics if/when we learn what a goal looks like.

Jack a goal is scored when the ball crosses the line between the goalposts and under the cross bar.

a goal is that thing that sticks up at each end of the pitch with netting hanging on it.

I want this thread to be inclusive, so...

If a striker hits a ball at 55 miles per hours, and he's 17 yards out from goal, kicking directly into a force-7 wind, what speed is it traveling when it crosses the line?
