Forra Point!

There's a line in Shakespeare's Richard 3rd that goes 'my kingdom for a horse', United manager Spike could be thinking along those very lines when he names his line-up for United's match away to the Belfast Glens, but his cry will be go and win a point at least. We fans are never happy, when we were drawing all those games early on in the season, we were urging our team to go out and turn them draws into wins and now with five defeats in a row, what we wouldn't give for a draw. We haven't any news on the injury front, but hopefully we will be no worse off than last Saturday. None of our long term injured players, Alan D, Thommo and Gavin are expected to to play and there's a doubt about Cookie Munster, which means that Archie could have to switch back to defence where he is more suited. This could mean a start for Neil Lowry, alongside Sparky and Jenks, leaving Cush upfront with whoever.

Spike has tried both Jimmy Mac and Jamie in the last 2 games, only bringing on Elvis for a cameo role in the last 10 mins. By the law of averages it's surely time for Elvis to get a start and King Billy, if fit, should revel on the big Oval pitch. Of course Spike could have other ideas and may start Ally and Jimmy Mac or Jamie, but what we need is to get in to them and not let them settle. Our previous manager ,Roy Walker, enjoyed a good record at this ground, by taking the game to the Glens and this was summed up for the 'Sports team in a second leg match in the C.I.S. cup when we very nearly turned round a 4-1 deficit at the Oval, when only a handful of United fans turned up, but we gave them a fright anyway. Omar reminded us of a very old saying, 'miracles happen every day, the impossible takes a little bit longer' and we had our miracle last month at this very venue, winning the County Antrim Shield, now we need to turn the impossible into the possible and it is possible, come on Sky Blues, lets shag those wise sheep from the east (Belfast)!
