In Edinburgh the night before to attend Kevin Rowland?s book tour, and off south on holiday on the day of the game. I?ll leave it up to you boys to take care of things. I think some losers may even be out of Europe by then?

You don't mean the European Giants who haven't won a European tie since 1997?

I tend not to keep up with these minor footnotes' hubris-deflating failures, but I do believe they play a first leg Euro tie the night before the Mighty Dons play Ipswich, so there's every chance they could already have a goals-against situation beyond retrieval.

Which would be nice.

Have they played a Euro tie since 1997?

Yep, and lost the lot.

From Wikipedia:

"Following a 10 year absence from European matches, Dundee United qualified for the 2022/23 UEFA Europa Conference League third qualifying round, culminating in a 7:1 aggregate loss to AZ Alkmaar, matching the record greatest loss inflicted on a Scottish club in a European competition."

Another one for the "honours" board.

That was the one where there was supposedly near mutiny in the dressing room, with their then latest messiah, Jack Ross, leaving soon afterwards.

Has Goodwin ever been involved in European games??

[swaddon2]

No, Goodwin has an unblemished European record so far.

Nice gesture from the club in giving Top Red season ticket holders who declined a refund when Covid curtailed the 2019-20 season, a free ticket for the Ipswich match. I still think we?d have won the league thst season had global forces not conspired against us.

The action of a Proper Mannies? club.

Really?

I just bought tickets for it and I didn't even get top red points, let alone the offer of free tickets for not claiming back a refund during covid!

If being honest, I can't even remember being offered a refund, but certainly never took it if I was.

I couldn?t recall anything about it either, but I saw a message elsewhere about it, and found word of the loot in an e-mail from the club. I?ll be on holiday, of course, but I?ll give it to someone who can make use of it, if it?s a paper ticket, or shareable link sorcery.
