Tekel Towers » Favourite DUFC Match of the 10's

Tek · 17/11/2019 2:59 am

Starting later on tonight.

Only 44 days left of the decade and no game for a fortnight now.

Thought it was time to start it.

If we go on to beat Dundee 7-0 on December 27th now the whole tournament will be wrecked.

But i'd happily take it.

Thanks for the opening numbers of the tournament kingdomarab.

Ok chaps, this is how it goes.

I've picked 64 of the best Utd games of the past decade (it was hard btw) from 1st January 2010 to present. As I said above Utd could derail the whole tournament if we somehow beat Dundee by 6 or 7 without reply on December 27th. But i'm happy to take that chance.

Only ONE match get's through each Round so vote wisely. Remember it is YOUR favourite match. That can be for any number of reasons. And please tell us all why the particular match is important to you please.

Match 2 for me

Hadn't seen free flowing stuff like this in an age

Match 1 gets my vote.
Beating those teams in that stadium is always memorable.

Match 1 for me, brilliant night afterwards also.

Match 1.

Few nights before, was on a bus back from a toothless Scottish Cup exit at Fir Park. Reluctantly signed up for Ibrox.

Glad I did. Another ride on the rollercoaster.

Match 1. Always a delight to pump them at their own ground, especially when you are up against the officials too (see the game a couple of weeks later when Collum sent off three United players at Tannadice and gave the Huns three penalties as an example).

And to score so late on gives the officials little time to get the right result.

Match 2 simply because I wasn't at match 1. We were brilliant that day though.

TheShed · 18/11/2019 11:19 pm

We were sensational in match 2.

Match 1 was just better so that gets the vote.

Finn Seemann · 18/11/2019 11:32 pm

For pure football Match 2, but let's be honest winning at Motherwell should not be unusual for a team like ours. So it has to be Match 1. A win in Glasgow is always to be celebrated. The nature of the winner and the response from Govan's finest has to be up there for any United fan. So Match 1.

Tek · 18/11/2019 11:47 pm

Match 1 for me too.

A last minute break-away winner at Ibrox in a match we had always been behind in and had to keep fighting back into the match.

Doesn't get much better than that.

The Motherwell performance was sensational stuff however. Mad to think that side lost a Cup Final to fucking St.Johnstone just 3 or 4 weeks later.

match 1

"how's he naw affside??????"

Match 1 for me, not just because it was there against them, with a last minute winner. I had a 5er on us to win at about 10/1!

Fond memories of match 4 too though. Was at hospitality and the last minute winner made the night!

Match 1

Match 1. Hands down.

Match 2 was a great performance, but winning at the Orc-dome during the beginning of their fall from grace when they had their no-one likes us, we don't care siege mentality in super hyper overdrive is a joy to behold, especially given the late break away and Goodie's finish.

Match 1 for that video alone.

Who in their right mind uploads a video of your own side epic failure?

Winner -
