About Time!

It really is about time we laid this Dungannon bogey to rest, we have had a bit of success against them last season early on, snatching an undeserved draw at the Showgrounds and beating them 3-1 in a Friday night game down at their ground. That game was especially poignant for Omar (hope you read his column last night), for he had a couple of Scottish friends (Peterhead supporters), over for that match and we won 3-1. But alas it was downhill from there, a 0-0 down at their ground was followed by a reverse in our last game of the season which we lost 2-1. Dungannon always try to play football and we are, for the most part, found wanting in that department, but they were signs last Saturday that we were trying to address that situation and that's only to be commended'

Now the news on Cush is not good, he is reported to be suffering a medial injury (in all fairness we don't know what that means), but it sounds serious and he could be out for a few weeks at least. No news about the forgotten man, Dave 'Cookie' Munster that signed on for another year and hasn't kicked a ball this term, as far as we know. Mark McCullagh was slated (unfairly we might add), by United's so called supporters for his performance last Saturday. Admittedly he wasn't good, but he was better than Archie was against Glenavon and if he's fit we expect Fergie to select him. If Fergie stands by his usual habits, we would expect only one change from his starting line-up of last Saturday, Dolan in place of the aforementioned Cush.

We at 'Sport think it should be Liggie, so obviously the hero of last Saturday, but Fergie is a creature of habit as we said and he brought on Dolan at Seaview in the 18 mins and he didn't let him down and we expect him to start with him tomorrow. Or we could be completely wrong, Fergie could maybe surprise us as he did last Saturday, but we don't think so, he is a manager that sticks by his players until they let him down. Neil Lowry, who has been away on trial more times than you can say 'Harryville Bridge', looks set to retain his place but in our humble opinion he needs a good kick up the jaxy to get him going or is he just lazy. Whoever Spike and 'three baldies' settle on tomorrow, they need to impress on them that we need that level of performance that we showed at the Crues last Saturday in every game. If we get that level of commitment, then we have a chance of laying this bogey to rest, come on Sky Blues, let's shag those chicken lovers!
