Events

Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds Tannadice Park will turn into a battlefield for Dundee United FC and St. Johnstone FC.
  • 5' With 0 assists to his name this season, David Wotherspoon is clearly more than just a goal scorer for St. Johnstone FC.
  • 9' Louis Appere has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 9 minutes.
  • 14' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 16' Goal! Guy Melamed scores his 5 goal in 264 matches.
  • 21' St. Johnstone FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 26' Jamie Robson is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Dundee United FC so far.
  • 31' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Mark Reynolds made 362 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 36' It’s high time made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 38' Goal! Chris Kane scores his 14 goal in 264 matches.
  • 43' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Liam Smith suffering a number of foals already.

  • 67' The referee calls foul for Mark Connolly. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 72' Both keepers have barely been tested. Dundee United FC and St. Johnstone FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 77' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. St. Johnstone FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 78' Another change for St. Johnstone FC made on 78 minute. Chris Kane leaves to be changed by Stevie May.
  • 79' Marc McNulty has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 79.
