Side Show!

This is the appetiser for the biggest match of season on Saturday, but the IFA in its wisdom decided we got play a postponed game before the most crucial of fixtures on Saturday against the Coleraine scum-bags in the Irish cup. Unlike the premiership in England, the 'cup' is the biggest thing our league has to offer, but the IFA decides we got to risk players getting injured before Saturday. That's if the match takes place at all, what with the reports of the weather getting wintry again, but if it takes place United better be up for it, for DC are fighting to get up the league and Packy will have them all fired up. As for team news United will have to make one change from the team that drew with IFA/Linfield at the weekend. Two goal hero Cush is serving a suspension for running up 10 bookings which will see him miss tomorrow nights match and the cup match on Saturday.

If Shane Dolan is fit, Spike could throw him straight into the action against his former team, but maybe a place on the bench is all that he can hope for. Far better to promote Neil Lowry, who had a cameo role when he came on as a sub on Saturday at Windsor Park or start Alan D or Sparky, he has so many options. Liggie who had a poor game at Windsor on Saturday, should be given another chance to see if he can break his scoring duck since he became a Sky Blue. If he can get a goal it will give him and us a huge boost before the cup match. No doubt Spike will be telling his team to banish any thoughts of Saturdays cup match, it's 3 league points that up for grabs tomorrow night and boy do we need them if we are to have any chance of a top six finish. Our fate is in our own hands, starting tomorrow night we need to be focused to the job in hand, so come on Sky Blues, lets shag those Suffolk ewes!
