No idea what it means but it's a clothing brand no? I had no idea...

Edit - looked it up again and apparently means As Seen On Screen.....

Not surprised, played 4 and lost 4. Mr Hartley isn’t setting the heather on fire either in League 2

Jack Ross's peg is getting shooglier! Is there still anyone on here who would prefer him to Lee Johnson?

He's been backed heavily by the board and needs to turn it around soon or he's likely going to be sacked. Their next three games are Celtic H, Livingston A and Motherwell A.

He could be gone by early September.

Definitely not, but by the same token it doesn’t mean that LJ’s situation is completely plain sailing ( he has my full support, BTW) We’ve beaten a poor St Johnstone, lost to Livingston, who we would have hoped to have beaten, and got two very late goals to draw with Hearts and 9 man Rangers. Yes, we are all behind LJ, who is an improvement on Jack Ross, but the latter’s crisis, is not in any way a feather in LJ’s cap. Without these two late goals, we would be in 5th bottom position and we have it all to do to climb out of mediocrity.

[Nicho87]

No Martin Boyle for United to save his bacon time after time

[Pretty Boy]

Just read on Twitter the last 13 games managed by Ross in the League:

P - 13
W - 1
D - 2
L -10
GF - 7
GA -23
Points - 5

Sacked before Christmas.

[Paulie Walnuts]

14-1 agrregate score over the last 3 games.

Only scored 3 goals in 6 games this season, never scored more than one and not scored in half their games this season.

Dundee United fans better be ready to have all the joy sucked out of watching their team.

Way too early to assume we've got the better boss. I really liked Ross and despite United's results after that impressive first leg European win I'm still not convinced we made the right call in sacking him. I actually don't get the animosity some seem to feel for him, tho I can't deny the cup final loss to St Johnstone still rankles.

Let's see where we and United are by the time the World Cup break comes around.

Sorry, is it not a 90 minute game? I hear you but I view it more that the team are not giving up in games. Which was all to apparent with the previous incumbent.

Fair comment and good on the lads for hanging in there. But it could easily have been two defeats and a gloomier outlook for us. I’ve agreed that LJ must be seen as an improvement on JR but my point is that JR’s poor performance with D.Utd doesn’t enhance LJ’s situation in any way.

[heid the baw]

Just watched Jack Ross post match interview that he did for DUTV. He really comes across as if he doesn't want to be there. I reckon he'll be gone by the end of the month

Are we not 5th bottom now ? Even without the 2 late home goals we`d still be 5th bottom on goal difference . A few wins before the end of September and we`ll be up in top 6 but draws and losses will mean there could be some speculation about LJ after World Cup break - a low league position after League Cup failure is bound to cause some speculation .

'5th bottom' is an unbelievably pessimistic way to describe the leagues position in a 12 team league. Astoundingly so. You could just as easy say after a rough start were mid table...

[SlickShoes]

League positions this early in the season are really meaningless unless we were expecting to be challenging for the title, for everyone else it's about playing well and building something. Dundee Utd look really poor and unable to score at the moment, but as we saw from Ross Co last year one good quarter of a season can change everything.

I agree entirely . Far too early to say what will happen . Last season we could have finished 10th or could have been 4th ( there were 7 teams who were all equally bad ) . Our results in both cups probably meant we were the 4th best team ( or least bad of bottom 9 ) over the season in a supposedly terrible season for us despite a horrendous injury list especially after New Year . A slight improvement and less injuries could mean 4th , a meaningful improvement and fewer injuries could mean 3rd . Little or no improvement then anywhere between 4th and 10th again .

You could say we picked up a point today that most of our rivals won't get but the next couple of games are the type of games we have to be winning if we are to challenge at the top end of the league.

[Jones28]

5th bottom 😂😂

Not bad against a team that came 11th bottom last season.

That's entirely true, I just think credit is due here as we all feared the worst with the first few games when the fixtures were released, and if you offered me a win, loss and 2 draws from Rangers, Hearts and two teams we have notoriously struggled against recently in Livi and St Johnstone Id have bitten your hand off.

So did we finish above or below then on the Stranger Things upside down bottom up table? 🤣
