Blue Tooners!

It has already begun, yes the C.I.S. cup is already up and running and our dear neighbours, the Coleraine 'scum' have snatched a draw from the jaws of defeat. Three minutes into injury time and former Sky Blue, Noel Anderson, scored the 'scums' second goal to give them a draw, which just goes to prove that there is no justice! But enough of that, what of United's fate at the hands of last season's champions the glorious Linfield. How will the wee Skies fare playing against the super blues or the I.F.A. as they are better known. Probably none too well is the short answer, a good result for us would probably be a two goal defeat. United manager Tommy Wright says that Kevin Kelbie will be fit to take his place up front alongside the rejuvenated Paul Brown. The rest of the team should be on the usual lines which means no place for new boy Thomas Wray, with Aaron Callaghan expected to revert to his right-back slot. The midfield is perm any 4 from 6, with Melaugh, Scates, Watson, Patrick, Picking and King being the six. United fans will hope for a better start from their team than in recent seasons and any result tomorrow would be a vast improvement than our usual stuttering start. Our best hope is that Linfield will be a bit complacent and believe it's just a matter of turning up and maybe then we can spring a wee surprise. So come on ye 'Blue Tooners', 'Let's shag those Linfield sheep'!
