    Favourite match ever ...

    With not many United matches to watch at the moment I was thinking what would be my favourite ever United match

    For me the 1994 Cup final would be the one.

    Great to beat rangers prior to them going out of existence

    It was a wonderful day for the likes of Malpas and his side to enjoy Hampden glory

    The way Brewster’s goal fell to him, the way we played and the celebrations were a joy

    Another favourite might be League cup win against Hibs in 97 I remember. Chic Charnley missed a penalty and we ended up winning 2-1 with an electric atmosphere.

    Third favourite the play off win over Partick - I’m too young to have attended the European glory days

    I’d be interested to hear of any special nights at Tannadice for atmosphere, or great matches for how we played or what we achieved

    Everyone must have a personal favourite that encapsulates what United are about

    I watched it on the YouTube channel as well, I was at the game and I've watching it back a few times, but not in a long time.

    How well did we play in the first half? Daily & Brewster were excellent, Welsh had the game of his life and Petric just strolled through the entire game.

    Tactics throuout were excellent. Up and at them in the first half and had them rattled, then after the goal sat back a bit and looked to hit on the break.

    How did we get relegated the season after this?!

    Great watch last night, hopefully get a few more United games like that on the channel. Or is there other full games already there??

    The league cup final v Aberdeen. United's first major trophy. Full dens park and a brilliant atmosphere, especially if you were a Utd fan.

    THAT save by Van de Kamp from Mihailicenkos shot in the 2nd half. Match winning.

    Because for every 1994 and 3-0 at Ibrox, Golac’s teams produced some right guff. Don’t get me wrong, he is still a legend and maybe the right man for the right time when it came to laying to rest the Hoodoo, but (controversially I know) a lot of the time otherwise he could be a clueless halfwit.

    Asides from the obvious ones, the game I would love to re-live would have to be the 5-1 Scottish Cup massacre of the Funny Lot in 1980 with four goal Wullie P and all that. That was the night that the Baton Of Superiority was (if not already) passed from one side of the divide to the other. And it’s remained Tangerine ever since.

    11th September 1965. Didn't realise it at the time but looking back that after promotion this 5-0 victory was the next big step towards taking over as top club in Dundee. Didna even notice the bloke making his debut for the Fun that day (James Y McLean) Dossing (what a striker he was wonder what he'd be worth today) hatrick Lenny Wing pen and Oor Dennis. Bus hame later Bluenoses pusses tripping them. Telt we were 'lucky arab *******s' couldna care less aff the bus walking on air to meh hoose. Couldna wait on the Sporting Post coming in. Musta been tears in DFC Thompsons that night.

    Been lucky to live through what will probably end up being the greatest ever period in our clubs history. So many outstanding players,performances & results. There was a time in the 80s when I expected United to be able to beat any team at any level. Man Utd,Monaco,Anderlecht,Barca. Made no difference Utd could & would put them to the sword. But for me the one that tops them all was Borussia at Tannadice. 2-0 down from the first leg I still turned up full of confidence & right from kick off united produced the most attack minded performance I have ever witnessed. They were relentles & lethal right from the kick off that night & it was all topped off by the most magical goal scored by my all time favourite United player(clues in the name). A glorious rapier of a run from the halfway mark leaving the opposition in his wake. Final score 5-0 (5-2 agg) & it could have been more. Glory Days indeed & sadly unlikely to ever be seen again. Thanks for the memory United & especially the mighty Mr. Bannon.
