Chisholm stunned at Uefa Cup exit
United manager Gordon Chisholm
Dundee United manager Gordon Chisholm said he was in "a state of shock and disbelief" after exiting the Uefa Cup.

"It's a major disappointment because we were in total control at 2-0," Chisholm told BBC Sport.

"The dressing room is silent. The players realise what a strong position we had and they are all gutted.

"We enjoyed the experience of being involved in Europe and it was something we wanted to continue. I'm in a state of shock and disbelief."

United appeared to be cruising at 2-0 until Stuart Duff conceded a penalty that was converted in the 74th minute.

"I didn't see the incident but a silly error has given them a massive lift and brought them back into it.

"For the second goal we tried to squeeze up and got caught with a quick breakaway.

"It's a huge let down for the fans, who were magnificent.

"I warned the players about complacency at half time and we started the second half at a good tempo.

"I don't think we took our foot off the gas but we tired and we weren't as positive."
