    Aye, at Tannadice too. Unless the SPL somehow give them 3 games at Ibrox.

    Thought we were better in the 1st half. United gave us no space in the second and played well. I was relieved that we managed to equalise.

    Reading through this thread and it's amazing how people can see a totally different game from one another lol.

    Samaras played really well when he came on although anybody with legs would have been better than his replacement.

    Brown had a very good game today imo, especially the first half.

    McGeady just did his usual creating zilch and wasting a lot of possession.

    Naylor had a good solid game as did Hinkel. The two CDs were poor.

    McDonald was as good as ever and Hartley did well also.

    Nakamura had a terrible game for him.

    McGeady simply has to improve his longer range passing. He has a tendancy to play any pass over 10 yards either too short or too long. He'll get it eventually though, just takes time.

    I can't help feeling that this was a massive opportunity lost!

    True United are a good side, I said it before the game but we're better and should have put this game to bed in the first half. In saying that though, if we'd been any way consistent over the course of the last 2 months we'd all have been picking up our winnings from the bookies and be off booking early summer hols with 4IAR wrapped up!

    Set pieces set pieces set pieces!!! When is Strachan goanny wise the * up and try something different? If he is incapable of finding a way of defending corners and free kicks he should not be embarrassed to seek advice from someone who knows what they are doing!

    I've been saying this for well over a year now, it's a major flaw he has. We all know the kind of football he wants this team to play, flowing attacking football, imo he let's this take a lot of focus off the defensive side of things.

    We done enough to win this game today and we played well in parts. What i wouldn't give for a Bobo type player in there who get's his head to every ball brave enough to intrude our box.

    ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY MISSED!!! How many's that?........

    As usual, the result depended on which players actually played to form and not enough did although we played well and should have won it.

    For me Hinkel, Caldwell, Naylor,Aidan and McDonald played very well. The rest were average to a bit off-form.

    Praise where it due, I thought Aidan in the dirat half played the best I have ever seen him. Much less fannying and looks like the right may suit him although I do not think the left suits Naka.

    Thought the OD-Caldwell partnership didnt have the dominant feel Loovens gave us the game before. Not sure about the reemergence of Hartley either. TBH apart form 20 mins we play some great stuff and we were a bit unlucky and should have won.

    Same old problems-striker and lack of a dominant partner for Caldwell.

    Fair enough points there Gunt, still feel Aiden played well but flattered to decive at times when he offers no end product.

    Overall the team will improve when we have 2 strikers on form, right now McDonald is doing all the work, when the team has 2 'outs' we will be a force once again
