Don’t know if anyone is watching the st Mirren game, interesting to note that united appear to be benefiting from refereeing decisions once again.

United should have been down to 9 men before the St Mirren red card.

The commentary team have noted this also...seems United have a guardian Angel looking after them in all 4 play off games.

[Satan]

GIRUY.

Justice is done.

Pretty much. 

[Caley Mad In Berks]

I only switched on to watch the penalty shoot out.  What bottlers Utd were.  Not one decent strike in 4 goes.  They don't deserve to go up.  

[+DoofersDad]

How can you miss 4 penalties in a row in a shootout!  Justice done but I ‘d rather not have both Dundee teams in the Championship next season. 

[GaliantGrunt]

What the helhl kind of refereeing was that! So obviously biased towards Dundee Utd getting the helping hand. Two awful teams what a joke of a play off finale !

[+bughtmaster]

I, for one, am not a bit bothered about the two Dundee sides, they will be so busy trying to do each other the dirty that they will lose sight of the other teams.

What we now have to concentrate on is our finishing and taking the chances we create,  we failed to do this quite miserably last season and I expect Robbo will be concentrating on this aspect of our game in the new pre-season and beyond.

I look forward to watching a much more accomplished and confident side performing at home and away which will ultimately put more bums on seats at the stadium.

[Kingsmills]

Surprised as he may be to hear it, I agree with Bughtmaster.

I'm not usually one for conspiracy theories,  but watching ICT's two games against United and their games against St Mirren, I may have to change my view. It looked like they were getting a helping hand to win with some very questionable decisions, by getting penalties, opposition players sent off and the united players not picking up second yellows. I thought that St Mirren would survive and I'm glad that moaning faced Neilsen hasn't delivered for his American masters, he will be under enormous pressure next season,  not only to deliver the title,  but to win the Dundee derby. I for one can't wait for next season.

I didn't watch the game today but you are right about the pressure being on Neilsen, I hope he screws up big time next season with all the money being ploughed in to United he failed miserably!

Yikes, looks like my conspiracy theory is gaining traction am in no doubt the SPFL wanted Utd in the prem and the money that goes with them glad to see it didn't happen.

Conspiracy theories. Jesus. Its like message boards for west coast clubs on here these days.

Decisions go both ways but most folks only remember the poor ones. Simply this year had we played better in some games and had less draws or better concentration in latter stages of the games we wouldn't have been in the play-offs. There may be the odd contentious decision but over the course of 42 games we failed to be good enough to gain promotion to the Premiership.

Spot on

[Alan Simpson]

No conspiracy against us we were hammered fair and square our own fault for not taking chances we had ! Enough of the pure drivel bout refs been against us embarrassing leave that gash for the old firm fans!

[Jaggernaut]

Woop woop! Don't you just love it when a plan comes together?

[caleyboy]

our game against DU is history so why can't we just put it to bed and concentrate our efforts on next season

Robertson banned for 1 match for his post-match comments. I think he has got off very lightly there.

That seems lenient.  But has he finished yet?

On the face of it as he was pretty outspoken.  It perhaps suggests the powers that be think he was justified in being very annoyed.

[Scarlet Pimple]

Doofers ..many a word spoken in possible jest. etc.

I just hope that Robbo comes back next season;   After all it's not very nice for him to be the Manager of a "marked " team .
