MORE FOOTBALL INSIDER STORIES Yet, the club now look a completely different side, much to the frustration of the supporters.In this campaign, Dundee United were quickly eliminated from the Europa Conference League qualifiers, as well as the Premier Sports Cup, the latter of which they went out in just the second round.— Dundee United FC (@dundeeunitedfc) March 6, 2026 Going into the Falkirk match on Friday, the Scottish Cup was essentially the only thing the club had to play for, with relegation highly unlikely.However, the game was essentially decided in the first 21 minutes as the hosts took a quickfire 2-0 lead.While Julius Eskesen managed to pull a goal back just before the break, the damage was already done, and the visitors simply could not find an equaliser.Now, supporters are unwilling to tolerate this decline any further and took to X to demand that Goodwin’s reign come to an end.Can’t be many that want him to stay. Our season is over and it’s time for him to go now or at end of season at the latest.
Thanks for the memories?🤔— Bruce Lowdon (@BruceLowdon) March 6, 2026 Resign Goodwin your time is up— colin_dufc 🖤🧡 (@colindufc) March 6, 2026 I cant listen to him anymore its time for a change— Mark Lochhead (@lochydufc) March 6, 2026 Do the decent thing and walk— Christchurch Arab,(NZ) (@MartinBestow) March 7, 2026 Get your coat, game over— Kerrin Duncan (@K2Dunc) March 7, 2026 What did Goodwin say after the Falkirk defeat?While Dundee United were not the favourites for the Scottish Cup clash, the defeat is still bitterly disappointing.The Tangerines proved that they could overcome the Scottish Premiership side at the Falkirk Stadium only in February, when they won 3-2.As a result, Goodwin was obviously disappointed that they could not oversee a repeat of this result in Friday’s defeat.When speaking to BBC Sport on 6 March, the manager highlighted how packed Dundee United’s fixture list has been in recent weeks as a potential reason behind the sub-par performance.🗣️ #DUFC Manager Jim Goodwin reflects on this evening’s @ScottishCup exit at The Falkirk Stadium pic.twitter.com/89fmvgrYuE— Dundee United FC (@dundeeunitedfc) March 6, 2026 He said: “We’re all bitterly disappointed to go out of the competition at this stage.“I don’t want to be making any excuses but we’ve had nine games in five weeks and we could have done without the St Mirren game three days before a Firday night game. Add to that we’ve had key players suspended but it’s a really disappointing outcome but you ca’t afford to start like we did.“We wont allow the season to peter out.
We have a big job to close the gap on Falkirk but we’ll not give up on that.“We’ll recover from tonight but we have a big game coming up next week, a local derby that’s important to our supporters.“The fans have every right to be disappointed. It’s three years I’ve been here and we’ve had relative success and they want the team to be in the top six.
