Devine and Meekings at centre back.  Warren must've got tired scoring his double.

Dundee got one back so were back to third

Inverness CT 0-0 Dundee Utd 

 

Half Time

Constantly having shots saved. Need the break through. Seems keepers always play well against us!!

Motherwell just gone 2-1 up on Celtic and St Johnstone now 1-2 up on 10-man Dundee so currently sitting 4th ..... need a goal of our own !!!

Nervous again. Esson just stops a ball going over line - maybe it was over

Has anything actually happened in our game!? BBC haven't even mentioned the game at all, not once except from that it had kicked off!

We have had a few shots on goal and keeper has saved. Good build up and no goals. Couple of yellows one for meekings and one for them. Foran on as a sub so bonus for us!

Sounds like a terrible game on  a cold Wednesday night! Aw well still a point above c**nty, just got a hopefully beat them on Saturday!

Sounds like we were hanging on a bit at the end there. Pretty good result, tbh - United have been improving, and we had a new combination at the heart of central defence, which might have been vulnerable. Devine had a good game on Saturday, though and sounded even better tonight.

 

Glad Dundee managed to equalise against St Johnstone, though, to keep us in the top three for Saturday.

Devine mom, well done young lad.

The result was very important we still hold a 4 point lead over 7th place and united themselves. We have a chance to move 7 clear if we win the derby with a possible 12 points left to play for before the split. A win would have been cracking but i couldnt care less if motherwell or st johnstone get ahead at this moment in time as it is so tight that as long as we get top 6 then we can concentrate on the push for second afterwards.

Can't complain too much about a draw. The only real disappointment tonight was Motherwell beating Celtic. The other results were pretty good for us.

What Yngwie said ^^^

devine, different class.

Our 12th draw of the season, more than any other team.

That was as good a nil-nil as you'll see for a while.  There was some really slick passing play from both teams at times, though in truth United looked more likely to win as the game went on.  Jackie Mac has them well drilled already, and if they play like that for the rest of the season they are a good bet to finish second.  They seemed to be playing a 4-5-1/4-3-3 and the extra man in midfield allowed them to dominate.  That said, we spurned a few chances of our own - if Andy Shinnie had headed Doran's beautiful cross either side of the keeper he would have scored.

 

As stated above, Devine was absolutely terrific, as indeed was Meekings.  In fact, our back four were probably our best four players for me.  The forwards showed only flashes of quality, though Andy Shinnie looked lively.  Doran was getting a bit of stick, but our best chances seemed to come from his crosses.  Bringing on Foran to play up front was the right move as we were forced to resort to long balls, but I'd rather have Pepper's energy than Sutherland's faffing anyday.

 

As with almost every game we've played this season, the ref was a complete clown.  Meekings got booked for a beautifully clean sliding challenge on Russell - although it was quite clear the United player was hurt in the process.  I thought it was pretty unreasonable that some fans booed when he limped off later on - he'd come off worse from a few crunching (but fair) challenges and had tried to get up and get on with it rather than complaining.

 

Not a bad result, in my opinion.  Dundee United look twice the team they were when we humped them 4-0 earlier in the campaign.

We'll need to play better than that against County.  Tonight was 2 pretty evenly matched sides with Utd just edging it for me.  A fair bit passing it across the pitch and running across the pitch, then stopping and running back from where they had just come from.  Nothing like the penetration of earlier in the season.  Often seemed rather devoid of ideas.  There's a nervousness about the play which they need to get out their system.  Not the performance of a team that is 2nd in the league - which is why we aren't 2nd in the league any more.  Just glad not to have lost, I guess.

 

I've never been particularly impressed by A Shinnie but I felt he was the best in midfield / attack by a country mile tonight.  Devine and Meekings looked solid at the back
