Swift Decision!

United are in dire need of a win at Stangmore Park Dungannon tomorrow night, but a close win won't do, as our goals against column is none too good. Just winning at the home of the 'chicken' supporters will be tough enough, but the need for goals is paramount if we are to gain a top six place. Three points in their last two games would secure a top six finish for Portadown, while the Coleraine scum are catchable but their goal difference is superior to ours, hence the need for goals. The scum's last game is against D.C. who are involved in a relegation dogfight with Newry and they could have a big influence on who makes the top six. It's still all up for grabs but since our defeat on Saturday we must get two wins from our next two games and score highly or we will need a favour from someone else.

United will go into the game without on-loan midfielder Caff who is suspended, but with central defender Albert restored to the fold after serving his suspension on Saturday past. Ex-Linfield player Paul McAreavey looked fairly impressive when coming on as a sub and he may get the nod in place of Caff, where his tough tackling and competitive approach may be significant. Whatever permutation the United manager chooses in the end they will need to be up for this game and need to improve their goal-scoring ratio to chances created, which at the moment is pretty poor, create ten openings, score just two goals, it just won't do. Sky Blue Sport won't be there as we continue to boycott the home of the liars, so United will have to manage without us, but we'll still be rooting for them, that's for sure, so come on Sky Blues, go shag those chicken stuffers!
