Two Months!

It's only two months and we are already talking about next season, the fixtures have been published, Omar has got his season ticket and the players are back in training. But unfortunately they're no new signings to talk about, plenty rumours, but nothing concrete. Director John Blair has resigned over the Sunday football issue and that's only to expected of a devout Christian man and with his resignation, his shirt sponsorship has ended. We can't tell you yet who the new shirt sponsor is, but a suffice to say the 'firm' has long been associated with the club and once all the legal loopholes have been ironed out I'm sure they will be an announcement from the club.

United play their first friendly match away to Larne Tech O.B. on the 10 July and on the 14 & 15 July head for the St.James Gate tournament in Dublin, which involves a Sun match, which has sparked a bit of controversy. This would have been understandable if had happened five or six years previously,but its commonplace for shops and pubs to open on Sunday and Sunday is treated for the most part as a normal day. Yes they are people still rooted in the past, but we don't ram our views down their throat, we expect the same consideration for our point of view. The 'Sport team will be there and why not it is a holiday weekend and Omar says he might even buy a drink, miracles will never cease. We will endeavour to keep you posted, team news etc., but we've ruffled too many feathers in the past and it maybe be all guesswork, nothing new there!
