A very good opening day of the season and Jon Daly was a colossus up front winning everything in the air..one of his goals was a contraversial penalty according to the Hearts boss,but i thought is was and Daly Smashed it home

Match Day 2

Ross County 0 vs Dundee Utd 1
Jonny Russell
(Willo flood sent off)
View attachment 279078
Should have won by more but credit to Ross County they played very well to restrict us to 1.
The sending off was a Horror tackle and he deserved to be sent off and will be dropped as a result after he has served his suspension.

We were just terrible here and never looked like getting anything and in all honesty could have lost by a few more but New Signing Mark Brown kept them down to 2

Dundee Utd 2 vs Kilmarnock 3
Rankin,O.G
An infuriating result here Cammy Bell was in great form for them and kept out about 11 chances...than the next day he signed for Nottingham forest ..could he not have done that the day before the match.
Europa league Leg 1
Feyanoord 0 vs Dundee Utd 1

Leg 2

Dundee Utd 2 vs Feyanoord 1

So a 3-1 Agg win..this was very pleasing after i gave my team no hope of getting in the group stage at all,but they proved me wrong and here we are in the draw for the next round


Other scottish teams results in Europa league
Motherwell lost 5-2 agg to Sporting lisbon
Hearts lost 5-3 to Lazio(Hearts did win the first leg 3-0 away in rome)

Europa league Group Draw
Bordeaux
Olympyicos
Maccabi Haifa
Dundee Utd

Player of the month: John Rankin.some very good performences in europa leauge and scoring 3 goals in the month.
Young Player of the month: Left back Barry Dougles he has come in and put in some solid games...apart from 1 mistake which led to a goal.

I would put leage table up but i have played 2 games in september so it would not be accurate but if i remember those defeats put me about 8th....but september should be a good one as in the 1st 2 games there has been 11 goals, but who to...find out tomorrow ​
