One Eddie Thompson

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?
