It wasn't as painful as I feared it might be, but it wasn't much fun either.
United's cup run was ended by Aberdeen and it wasn't a surprise. At a couple of points a proper hiding was on the cards but thankfully it never happened. I worried when we went 2-0 down and I feared the worst at 4-1. Thankfully we rallied and actually played reasonably well in the second period.
How much of that is down to Aberdeen and the way they play I don't know. They're an odd team. They just seem to try to close down the game all the time whenever they go in front. I'd be interested in seeing how many points they drop from winning positions - probably very few. I know the Bears on here criticise them and don't rate them much, but they just seem to always do enough to win against the other teams and again it felt like that on Sunday.
The team selection was weird and it really didn't help us that we had two defenders in the line up (Durnan, Robson), a midfielder-come-rightback at CB and a midfielder at right back.
I also want to take this opportunity to completely write off Lyng as a footballer. I've seen enough, he's pash.
Anyway, back to concentrating on the league and hopefully things will improve there.

being sincere, its hard to see where dundee united go from here.
knocked out the scottish cup by aberdeen isnt exactly unexpected, but they just dont look like they are on the up at all.
hearts and hibs looked ready for it when they came back up, can't say the same for united.

The club just feels like a shell of a club at the moment.
There's no leadership at the top.
The players look disinterested.
The manager appears to be nuts.
The fans are either fighting with the club or fighting with themselves (figuratively).
The worst thing is that it's now moving towards apathy, and that's a killer for a club.
If, and it's a big massive if, we can remove Stephen Thompson from the club then it might just galvanise the club. I think that's our only way back now.

I would have thought a Rangers fan, of all people, would know better than to listen to the dire predictions of financial meltdown on a week to week basis?

its like its dying of sadness isnt it?
needs a real boost but where does that come from?
see tbh, you need a manager that will come in and turn it around, you need a jack ross.

Winning games of football makes a difference and if we could win games then everything becomes positive again.
It's hard though with the fans. It's incredible how often people are still banging on about selling GMS and Armstrong - it was 3 years ago now, and yet I see mentions of it on social media at least a couple of times a week. It was definitely a turning point for the club but it was not the sole, single reason that we fecked ourselves over. Some folk just don't see that though.
