Potentially United's worst ever result. The club has never lost to a non league side since joining the league in 1923. We had only previously lost 1 league game to a 4th tier side (Ross County in 1998).
We’ve enjoyed the outstanding levels of engagement on social media over the weekend following our win.
There’s always one though. Please, don’t be that guy. ⚽️🌈

Appreciate the sentiment of the ’Romance of the Cup’ but when you are 4-0 down on Boxing Day standing in the face of a hoolie and it’s pishin’ doon on the back of a 260 mile round trip, it’s nae Mills and Boon affair.
A shot from

skipper Halliday hits the roof of the net. Of the fives cage behind Carswell’s goal. Not sure if that will feature in the JT’s highlights package later. 0-1
Normally clubs exchange pennants before the match, but tonight its something completely different from our hosts
