banana Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 United enter their 15th (FIFTEENTH) cup quarter final in a row on a high after sweeping away Premiership cracks Pumped Thistle in a tidal wave of fast flowing football metronomed by perennial MVP Willo Flood and sworded by young Cammy Smith. Morton were less spectacular in their beating of Premiership relegation favourites Hamilton, though impressively came from a goal down away from home. Interestingly, the last time the teams met in the cup was a 3-1 United win in September 2003, a mere 16 and a half years after United went P4 W4 in competitive games against Barcelona, a world record that stands to this day. Morton 1-2 Dundee United (Durnan o.g., VDV, Smith). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Good question. I would say rangers in the semi followed by an insipid 2-0 defeat to alloa in the final. It seems players are constantly asking to come on trial with united at the moment so will have to wait and see what the team looks like nearer the time. ATM I would guess our CB pairing would may be 4th or 5th best in league 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 This would have been a far better draw for us if it had been at Tannadice. I am off on holiday from the 21st so won't get to it either way, but it may be a tricky draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pull My Strings Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Off somewhere nice, Granny? I think we're away to Lanzarote that week (provided the wee one's passport comes through in time). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madton Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Delighted with the draw, home advantage against a team at the same level as us, should have a good chance of progressing. Aberdeen, St Johnstone and the Old firm would have been difficult so glad to have avoided them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may be in the same league but until we play each other I think it will be hard to judge if we are at the same level. I agree having the draw at home certainly works in your favour.

I'd settle for keeping Utd down to 5 or less tbh. I'd just rest our key players and focus on trailing in the tangerine wake in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pull My Strings Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I see we meet again at Tannadice on the following Saturday. I should be back for that game, feeling all tanned and perky/shattered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only two things that are certain so far is that our defence is still as shakey as f**k and that we are consistently inconsistent. 5 minutes ago, Pull My Strings said: Playa Blanca.

Playa Blanca is lovely, more so if you like to walk/stroll as you can get from one end of the resort to the other and only cross a couple of roads. If you are eating out at any time try the restaurants at the Marina rather than the town centre. Little Italy is particularly good. Casa Roja is awful.

I take it they'll all be in hospitality (or are they saving that for the semi finals onwards) Looking forward to a decent attendance for this potentially cracking fixture.

Gibby82 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Three opportunities to visit Greenock this season. Good stuff. Haven't been since that game in '96 when we were both going for promotion. 13 years old, right at the fence that separated the fans in the Cow Shed. Airborne bottles of blackcurrant Hooch and a United scarf set on fire and promptly returned to its owner. Bus windows smashed after the game by some young team. Glorious.
