Roaring Back!

Expect Rory Carson to come back into the United starting line-up tomorrow at the expense of Mo, as his industry was sadly missed at Coleraine last Saturday. United manager Roy Walker has hinted at other changes, which could mean a recall for team Captain Gazza after the inept display by our central defenders against Paul Brown last week. Tomorrow's opponents Dungannon Swifts, have a similar striker at their disposal in Timmy Adamson, who definitely needs no introduction to United defender Albert Watson. Adamson needs to be hit early and often, as he is a constant thorn in the flesh and he usually gets away with 'blue murder'. Tomorrow's referee, Keith Halliday will need to keep a close eye on Timmy's flailing elbows, but we can expect nothing from the incompetent Crangle who will be the 4th official.

Walker wouldn't be drawn on whether he would rest Gibbo after his poor performance against his former club, Coleraine, but we expect it all hinges on the fitness or otherwise, of the versatile Sparky. United's utility player was suffering from chest pains at Coleraine last week and even though he played the whole 90 minutes for the reserves on Tuesday night he may not be risked tomorrow, unless Walker is 100% sure of his fitness. With Mackers out of favour, it may mean a place on the bench for recent recruit Chris Dowie, who scored twice for the reserves in the same match. George Young and Lee Colligan also got a match under their belts and played a vital part in United's 2nd string's victory over Cliftonville Olympic.

On the downside, Ryan Berry picked up another injury, which may delay his return to first team action, while Andy Smith's return is still a couple of weeks away yet. We would have liked to have asked the United manager, the big question, which is. If Andy was fit, would he come into the reckoning for United's home game against Portadown in two weeks time, somehow we doubt it. But we digress, onto tomorrow's game and for once it's not us that's in the 'smelly stuff' but our opponents. Of course if they were to stay in that position and be relegated, we wouldn't shed a tear, as we know them for the bunch of lying, snivelling dogs that they are. If there's any justice in this world, which we doubt, three points will surely be ours come 16-50 tomorrow. Our new stand will hopefully be open and it'll surely show up the paltry support of our visitors, who will be lost in it's magnitude. So come on Sky Blues, let's shag those boys from the 'green hills', in fact let's put them to the sword!
