glasgow sheep Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Aberdeen return to League Cup action in midweek with a semi final meeting against rivals Dundee Utd. Aberdeen will be smarting from their dismal showing at Tannadice but they have the ideal opportunity to set the record straight. Aberdeen have not been to a major final since 2000 and that represents the clubs longest spell without reaching a final since 1967. Unless Aberdeen reach a final this season it will become an unwanted post war record of not reaching a major final that would then stretch to nine years. The longest post war droughts are 1947-1953 (6 years), 1959-1967 (8 years), 1970-1976 (6 years), 1995-2000 (5 years), 2000-2008 (8 years). Aberdeen have came up against Dundee Utd at the semi final stage on five occasions with Aberdeen holding the edge. The Dons successes came in 1985, 1988 and again in 2000. Aberdeen wins draws Dundee United wins League Cup 9 5 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Now how did that start......... Very grown up. "It was you that started it!" I didn't soak everyone in a fountain of pish lager. Anyway, we don't seem to have a bad record against them in the cups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
