When i say that our major honour count should be about 10 i should clarify that i do not think we were robbed of 5 trophies its just that there were finals we should have won with the team we had but failed to do so.

My Grandad used to always tell me stories about this game and how we were robbed.
Funnily enough, another dodgy disallowed goal went against us!

I've got a photo of that game. You can see by the players' body language that we should have won.
The first and the last ones absolutely as in both cases we were well in control and it was the direct (or lack of it ) intervention of the Hun with the Whistle that changed the whole complexity of both those games.
St Mirren though? Yeh we would’ve/could’ve/should’ve won if that goal is given but unlike the other two frankly we didn’t deserve it as we had never been ‘in control’. Neither had St Mirren. It was singularly the most awful and depressing 120 minutes watching United in what was a turgid borefest. A team that had scaled such unbelievable heights that season unfortunately proved they'd gone to the well once too often and that they simply had nothing more to give. They were knackered and it was depressing yet tragic at the same time. Especially as we all knew that that St Mirren team was god awful.
My worst moment ever as an Arab and I don’t think it will ever be beaten. Thank God.
Good post James. I always enjoy your contributions.
