Dundee United Life’s a pitch

- Big Geoff

We go into the Irn-bru break on the back of a disappoint­ing performanc­e on the sloping plastic at Alloa. Plenty of teams will drop points to the spirited Wasps but unfortunat­ely these are the places we have to go and win at if we are to be in serious contention for the title.

Given that every team looks capable of beating the other I can only hope that eventually the group of players assembled by the manager will start to look like a team. This weekend’s meaningles­s fixture leaves little for me to enthuse over. But the news that former left-back Andrew Robertson is to be the Scotland captain for their upcoming games allows Arabs to reminisce about a swashbuckl­ing and exciting young United team we’d sell our back teeth for now.
