@alantemple.bsky.social Not that you don't work hard enough, but any chance of posting your updates on here as well as twitter for those of us who are too stubborn in their morals to backtrack on leaving that platform? (Pretty sure that's only me, to be fair...)

Gold. Absolute Gold.

I've got one foot in the camp of loaning them both out. I appreciate the risk that brings when it comes to depth but Odada has struggled when required to be called upon and Meshack clearly not in plans/not been required. Both seem very raw, but clear potential.

I'm not there tonight. 2-1 United.

It's my fault. First time I've made it to Tannadice in 2.5 years (AZ Alkmaar home leg). I'll stay away from now on... 😭

If you hate Dundee United you'll be fine on The Terrace πŸ˜‰

Your transition from Terrace fanboy to pitching a trial thread on Bluesky has been quite the thing to witness over the years. And make no mistake, I am here for it my friend! Cracking read, Lewis. Shame about all that basketball pish though. Other than that, 10/10, would recommend. ❀️

They can keep the vitriol for the other platform!

I'll of course forget we got all three in our favour next time I'm screaming at a ref for being biased against my team though. Fickleness is a right of passage as a football fan and I'm here for it! (Also think I might have made up a word there... πŸ€”)

Thought you handled yourself pretty well tbh. Even if being prodded by Tam on some of the calls. Point was not 'were the decisions right?' Point was 'can we stop moaning about refs/VAR please? It's boring!'

Unless I misunderstood you...

(For me, Walton could easily have gone and both were pens.)

Heart of MidlothianΒ 2 - 1 Dundee United | Sunday, March 12th, 1995 | Match Details (Arab Archive) Our grip on the Scottish Cup was prised open by Hearts who came from behind to inflict the first and last Scottish Cup defeat on Manager Ivan Golac for whom this was to be his parting shot.Scott Crabb...

Came home from school and announced I was a Rangers fan. My Dad (Hearts) was having none of it. Hearts playing Dundee Utd on TV (www.arabarchive.co.uk/matchdetails...) at the time so we agreed to give up our teams and support Utd. I've been an Arab for nearly 30 years now. He was an Arab for 90 mins

This aged well.

(Like, it actually did. Not sure I've ever used that non-sarcastically.)

Probably my first ever favourite United player. One particular goal at Ibrox sticks in my memory...

He should have been a much better player than he was. Just couldn't dislodge Jean-Jacques Misse Misse though. And don't even start me on Mvondo Atangana...

OK, I'll stop.

I'm going back a few years, but I'll never forget Roger Boli.
