Wanted to get in the moood! :thumbup1::thumbup1:

On The Volley!...1-0 United (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTRo9ESor30)

[RedRabbit]

on the volley!! :thumbup1:

do you think Barca will end the jinx?? ... I doubt it:animatedfear:

[jimmyshimmy]

yeah, seeing as we now have a 19yr old in the goal...

what:yikes:
are you fielding a youth side ??:animatedfear:

on the serious side; he must be good to be starting, isn't he ??

[jimmyshimmy]

Naw, Zaluska broke a bone in his foot, and all we have is Ewan McLean, although i read somewhere we just got a keeper in on Loan?

[Ronaldo]

Will Henry, Ronaldinho et all be playing? Must be a good experience for the new 'keeper playing against the best.

[jimmyshimmy]

Heres the full 25 man squad thats travelled...
Valdés, Jorquera, Oier, Belletti, Sylvinho, Zambrotta, Abidal, Marc Valiente, Oleguer, Thuram, Olmo, Xavi, Touré Yaya, Iniesta, Motta, Deco, Marc Crosas, Dimas, Giovani dos Santos, Bojan, Ronaldinho, Eto'o, Henry, Maxi López, Ezquerro.

[RedRabbit]

er... will there be a mercy rule?? :nodyes:


just kidding, I'm sure Dundee Utd. will hold their own.

[jimmyshimmy]

naw, im thinking first 10minutes will be ours, coz its our ground, 14,209(full house) of our own fans, but then im sure we'll support barca aswell!

e.g if they score im sure we'll applaude!

[hailhail7]

I had a right good laugh at Eto et al knowing bugger all about Dundee United and Hearts. Then dismissing the importance of these friendlies next to the European games with Celtic. But it'll be a good footballing lesson to the small Scottish clubs.

[jimmyshimmy]

quite finished?

now get your head out your arse and carry on drinking your bucky

:hahaha:The intelligent response I'd expect from Jimmy.

[RedRabbit]

all most forgot about this.... can't find a stream but it's currently at 60minute mark and still nil-nil

celtic on the other hand are loosing to newcastle 3-1 :nodyes:

[Ronaldo]

That's so unlucky, 0-1 to Barca it finishes...goal from henry in the 90th min. Sounds like a good effort from Dundee :thumbup1:

[Shed_Boy2]

Good game but the ref was pretty crap!

Barry robson had a goal disallowed for supposedly fouling Oleguer.. video (http://letthepeoplesing.com/videos/Misc_Video/barry_robson_disallowed_goal) :cry_smile:

Then 2 mins later they get a penalty which looked fairly harsh as i think the barca player made a meal of it...

Anyway utd played pretty good! :thumbup1:

funny how it was a good effort from dundee UNITED!

not dundee...dundee UNITED!

[alexxturner.]

Unlucky for Dundee to lose, Barcelona finally broke the jinx from losing their last 4 matches against Dundee lol.
Great start for Henry to his Barcelona career, his debut and he scored a goal. I wonder if he'll be a sucess for them or not.

[jimmyshimmy]

I cant remember Dundee beating Barca? i remember DUndee United beating them though

[hailhail7]

Why is it the Arabs only turn out for cup finals and games against Barcelona!! Glory hunters. Where do all these extras go when United play the likes of Falkirk and Motherwell in the SPL??

[Darren]

Did Celtic play a friendly somewhere last night as well?

[You're next kid]

dundee is suck,i think.

[Darren]

You have an amazing knowledge of Scottish football I must say.

[You're next kid]

thx for compliment,dumbell.
celtic

[Darren]

No I think it's Glasgow Celtic actually.:hahaha:

[You're next kid]

why not celtin ranger ???

[Darren]

No it just wouldn't work would it?

Yes we lost 4-1 to Newcastle. And last season we lost friendlies aswell but that didn't stop us kicking Dundee United's ass in last seasons SPL(and winning it too).

Getting crowds of 30,000 plus. We don't just turn up for cup finals. Does that make Dundee United shite all the time? I guess it does:roflmao:

[jimmyshimmy]

[hailhail7]

Nor did I. Stick to thread please.


And what about all those so called Hearts fans yesterday!! I'd say around 30,000 of them bought thier first Hearts scarf yesterday.

[jimmyshimmy]

so what if they did. Stick to the thread please.

Looks like Thierry was surprized about Dundee United being so good on thursday :D lol
