Have a great blog entry today with some exclusive video clips!

Me and my Dad went up to Tannadice to see the mighty Dundee United play against Lithuania Hearts.

It was a totally action packed game, with heroes and villains that would have been suitable for a festive pantomime! (It was Hearts that ended up looking like the rear-end of a pantomime horse though ).

Hearts are a team I have a lot of time for as one of the traditionally big clubs of Scotland, but this current bunch aren’t adding to the reputation of the club. They were diving everywhere, fighting with their own team mates, arguing with their own fans and generally besmirching the good name of Scottish and Lithuanian football. Luckily the lean, mean, tangerine dream machine was there to give them a good hiding!

The rout started when Robbie Nielson applied for a place in “The 100 craziest passbacks in the world… ever!” and gave Utd an indirect free kick from about 7 yards out. It’s very seldom you see a goal from these situations, but I thought I would make a wee video on my camera just in-case…

1-0 Utd, but the Hearts came back and got an equaliser before half-time. The game turned when early in the second half a Hearts player tried to punch Lee Wilkie in the box (sounds painful). After about 5 mins of confusion and red cards, it was a penalty to Utd. Up stepped Barry Robson again and out came my camera…

At 2-1 down, Hearts pressed the self destruct button, forgot about the game and concentrated on rolling around on the ground. The telling fact was when a Hearts player went for a roll in the Utd half, one or two Hearts players would actually go over to them and tell them to get up.

With 10 minutes left, Utd wrapped up the points when Noel Hunt rose like a bumper-packed tin of John West to head home Utd’s 3rd. Too fast for my camera that time.

It was all too much for the remaining Scottish players in the Hearts side who decided it would be better if they just got sent off instead. Firstly it was Wallace who cynically hacked down Robson in the box just as he was about to get his hat-trick. Another penalty and oot came the camera again (better than Scotsport this!) .

4-1 to Utd and a hat-trick to Robson.

Michael Stewart had spent the last 15 minutes running around in a small circle, shouting abuse at anyone who would listen. With 1 minute left, he shouted some at the linesmen (or maybe a fan). Off he went for an early bath as well.

All in all, a great day and a great game. Here’s to many more wins for the Terrors in 2008!
