'Tough watch' but 'victory & progression exactly what United wanted'

[BBC]

United fans, we asked for your views after Tuesday night's Scottish Cup win over Spartans.

Here's what some of you had to say:

Eddie: Amar Fatah will now miss the quarter final because of a ridiculous yellow card, just unfair to be honest. Apart from that I thought United deserved the win and with some better finishing it would have been a lot more comfortable despite the astonishing red card. Onto the quarter-final we go.

Ricky: You would think Spartans were the Premiership team we were that bad. We can't pass the ball, time for Jim Goodwin to go or we will be relegated.

Kieran: The main objective was to get through and we did that. However once again the officials decided to make the game about them. The referee set the tone mere minutes into the game by booking Amar Fatah for a coming together and then ended up proceeding to dish out cards like they were burning a hole in his pocket. Although Iurie Iovu was daft to make that sort of challenge, it was never a red card.

George: Victory and progression in the tournament is exactly what we wanted. Not the confidence winning result we wanted but confidence can be taken from the fact we did it with 10 players for eighty minutes. Let's take that confidence into the Kilmarnock game and really get our season back on track.

Graham: That was a tough watch. This was a great opportunity to build some confidence and score goals and play well. Ok the game changed when down to 10 men but when you move to long balls your centre forward needs to show basic skill like holding the ball up and challenging in the air. So disappointing to see so many chances squandered due lack of confidence.
