Tekel Towers » Rare footage of Dundee Utd's first ever Cup Final

Tek · 02/8/2018 1:30 am

Emergency War Cup Final (there was NO Scottish Cup Final for 6 years during WW2).

Attendance 75,000

Saturday, 4th May 1940

Utd fucking shafted. How the fuck is Tommy Adamson's goal 'offside'. It's miles on.

Staunch officialdom even 78 years ago in Glasgow.

Even the commentator recognizes the Huns for what they are, during the war. "Jerry not giving anything away today". Mibbee the Jerries goal was affside. Glesgae referee. Bunch oe chunts.

Great effort GC2, I'd be well chuffed. Which one is he as they're running on to the pitch?

Nae surprises from officials even in those days. Probably related to Madden.

Great footage Tek. Cheated in Glasgow as usual!

Don't think it is a mobile phone, but might be a transmission device to the referee to be used throughout the game...

Lip-reading from this footage you can see him saying "...and this is the team that is going to win..."

Rare as fuck bud. Excellent find. Nae surprise with the offside caper eh.

Nokia man is just itching his eye though, nae time traveller here.

Finn Seemann · 03/8/2018 8:05 pm

Och damn, put it on full screen and your right.

Is a great find. My great grandfather played for Dundee Hibs - any chance of finding some footage of that? Peter Armstrong.
