Tekel Towers » Angriest you've felt as a Utd supporter?

Tek · 13/5/2020 2:27 pm

There are (like the rest of you) countless moments in games, that have left me furious i.e. soft penalties given to the opposition...stonewall penalties denied to Utd..our players sent off unjustly..opposition players getting away with foul after foul...ETC.

There is one non-footballing incident that to this day leaves me feeling fuming.

The Jason Scotland Saga.

To be denied his services, just as he was turning into a fine centre forward for us, by some drawn up 'Kangaroo Court' who deemed him not good enough to play in the SPL (even though he had scored the winner in a major match at our National Stadium just a few weeks previous) was a major shock, everyone expected this situation to be a formality and his work permit would be granted with minimum fuss.

The fact it was denied was all based on the fact he hadn't enough international caps for Trinidad + Tobago (he'd fell out with their Manager at the time over some ridiculous situation about his hairstyle).

To lose his services was bad enough. For that to then be compounded by the fact that the same group of men then met up again and decided he was good enough however to go 20 miles down the road and play his football for 2nd tier St.Johnstone, who then gained a prolific one goal in every two games a season Striker at our expense AND then went on and sold him to Swansea, who themselves went on and sold him on after he again scored a goal every two games for them.

All this after featuring in both the 2005 Gold Cup and 2006 World Cup for T+T.

Well let's just say, it still to this day angers me to think about it.

Fuck you Murdo McLeod.🖕

Stephen Thompson

That is all.

Of recently memory, the collapse in the play off against Livingston and the penalties in the st mirren play off.

The hammering off of Falkirk in the championship also springs to mind.

Oh and 1995 when we could all of won the first division against st Johnstone and lost one nil.

The Jason Scotland fiasco also still hurts

Never understood this view point. Had had a very good game before making a bad error of judgement.

Given the actual injustice earlier in the match, seems strange to direct the anger internally for a genuine mistake.

Referring to football games, can't separate the 1987 and 1991 Finals, where I felt badly cheated by the officials. On balance, Syme's performance in 1991 probably shades it, letting Nijholt boot anything that moved in white, and allowing an offside third and illicit fourth goal for Motherwell.

Getting chucked out a match in 2001 in the second minute pissed me off too, especially as I went round to the office, complained to Spence Anderson and handed in my season ticket. The club posted it back with some shit about me reviewing my behaviour as I'd been intimidating opposition fans, which, if anyone knows me, was absolute drivel. At least I missed us getting pumped 6-1.

The question was about what made me angriest, am I not allowed to be honest in my response? A fucking Sunday league player wouldn't have played that backpass, cost us the trophy and still boils my piss.

Sorry if that offends 👍

UEFA final in 87. I was one of the few who left at the end. No Fair Play award from me. 3 days after losing SC final I don't mind saying I was not too happy.

SuperMario · 13/5/2020 9:13 pm

Relegated at dens, fans hugging the players and clapping them aff

Was raging at the time

Arabnophobia · 13/5/2020 11:05 pm

Game v Oldco when we got beat 0-4 and Laudrup was in their team.

0-1 defeat fae the other Glesga bum cheek at Hampden when Thomson scored.

I'll stop at that.

Slobbers' interviews. 4 years of protracted agony in diddy league.

The "goal" by Paddy Connolly away to Patrick about 93\94
The ball hit the net come out everyone assumes it's a goal,
Patrick player picks the ball up gives it to the keeper and good
old Syme says play on.

Shed69 · 13/5/2020 11:29 pm

Typo should read Partick

The Matias Jack game at Easter Road, just fucking ridiculous.

Les Mottram was the referee. After that he went on to the 1994 World Cup, the 1996 Euros (refereeing the Old Trafford semi final), and officiated then became an instructor in the J League for around 10 years, professionally.

Astonishing stuff 🤔🙄

The Jason Scotland pantomime.

Still gives me high blood pressure.

Shedtastic · 14/5/2020 12:28 pm

McCurry, nothing else has came close to being blatantly cheated on a football pitch.

David_Blunkett · 14/5/2020 3:31 pm

There's been loads of games I've came out of really angry or pissed off, but for a good while post the sales of GMS/Armstrong I sounded off a lot about how Thompson wrecked the club, how it would put us on a downward spiral etc.

That in itself was bad enough, then you had to listen to clowns who think he was doing best for the club defending him, some still do to this day.

And then he threw Jackie under bus, instead of just binning him when he should've, he let the situation drag on to the next season.

Then there's the fan assault that never happened at Dens and a couple of other front page stories.

On a totally unrelated matter, Spoilt Bastard from the Viz, that was a good laugh eh?

Utd 2 - Dunfermline 3 (04/08/18)

Sometimes the manner of a defeat trumps the actual score line. This game was a classic example of that. I can honestly say that I have never been so angry walking out of a football match as I was on this day. Why? The first game of the league season is always really exciting in my opinion. We had signed loads of new players and I had been on holiday and missed all bar one of the disastrous Betfred Cup games where Laszlo had in his wisdom decided to use the games as the pre-season. I, like a lot of supporters was sceptical about this (I was at the Alloa game where we completely dominated for about an hour then started pissing about with the ball because it looked like we had run out of steam and got caught, or rather Adam Barton got caught) but was willing to cut him a bit of slack given that we has so many new players and these were now his signings. His rationale was that it would all come good on the first day of the league season. Mike Martin had told us all on Arabzone that he was quietly confident and they had worked out average points targets each quarter (18). These comments in hindsight were the most stupid ones of the entire Csambles regime (and by Christ there was competition on that front) because it set him up for such a massive fall when Dunfermline came flying out of the traps and we looked half asleep for the first half before dying on our feet in the second.

What we were presented with was the worst United XI ever to grace a football pitch. After the usual blood and thunder first half typical of the first game of a Scottish season which Nicky Clark scored in and did a quality GIFRUY to the Pars fans in the Shed (Nicky, Sam Stanton and Jamie Robson must’ve wondered what the fuck they had done to deserve this, especially Sam who was stuck out wide because he was deemed to be inferior to Christophe Rabbistch, a man who ran like he had shat himself and Adam Barton, the epitome of a player who has it all: the looks, statuesque frame, all the gear, but is utter shite when he goes on the park because he is petrified of getting dirty and a hair out of place). The manner in which United wilted both physically and mentally was frightening. Frightening because it bore a striking resemblance to United under Jackie McNamara at the start of the relegation season but, with a significantly worse team (Loemba, Wardrop, Curran, Rakovan, the corpse of the Edge, fuck me, the bench that day makes up the spine of our current team illustrating what a total imbecile Clown Shoes actually was). I also forgot that we scored a consolation goal at the end and only noticed when I looked at the Arab Archive for the date this morning. I may have walked out before it, I honestly can’t remember, I was in that much of a rage. Actually, Laszlo got pelters at the end, so I didn’t leave. After the game I wrote on Facebook (I still post opinions on this to break up the constant stream of shite videos and birthday card pish) one word:

RELEGATION.

Make no mistake, if he’d stayed in charge that’s what would have happened with that team.

I have seldom been so incensed at a football match in my nelly puff.
It was at Dens in the Doon Cup, Dundee's first honour since 1974.
The ballboy in front of the Dairy wantonly threw the ball directly into Paul Dixon's face as he waited to take a throw-in.
This was clearly witnessed by United supporters including myself who were at the Tannadice end and near to the Dairy.
The moron would have been about 13 or 14 & the action was clearly intended.
He was removed from his position two or three minutes later by a steward as a precaution.
The still-irate away fans would have ripped him from limb-to-limb given the chance.

This is not sour grapes. Dundee deserved their honour on one of their finest nights in their 125-plus years history.

But never mind Ibrox etc, could this only happen at Dens?

Just to be clear, given how honking Tam Scobbie was, are you sure he wasn't trying to header the ball and accidentally slammed it with his puss? 😂

Brian 'Donkey' Graham's miss on the goal line at Celtic Park was enraging too. He could literally just have bent over and let it bounce in off his arse but contrived to produce the worst miss I've ever witnessed and cost us a first win there in fuck knows how long.
