Gutted about Sunday, obviously. Especially for Eddie Thompson.
"The advance party of United supporters chanted his name as they approached the home of Scottish football. It was like a scene from an MGM musical with a chorus bedecked in colourful costume, singing lustily. It differed in two respects. This was Hampden, not Hollywood, so the songs were not always in tune. And football only guarantees a happy ending for one side.

The script had its twists and turns. These must have seemed to Thompson like the violent movement of a knife in his gut.
Dundee United won this final three times. They were ahead 1-0, 2-1 and took a lead in the penalty shoot-out. They lost after two hours of dramatic, tension-filled football to the last kick of the ball."

Also, the Dundee United eNewsletter is using Richard's picture of the last United cup final again. Therefore I don't think he'll mind if I use it too. Pretty cool, isn't it?
