Late News!

Firstly let us apologise for not doing this news bulletin last night. What can we say, except drink has a lot to answer for and senior moments to boot, but really there can be no excuses, just like our manager, there's no hiding place for incompetence. The biggest item of news ahead of this afternoons game away to the Swifts, is that we have signed, Gary Rodger, on-loan from former manager, big Tam Wright's St Johnstone, for at least 6 months.

Obviously our manager is still blaming the defence for being so porous and not taking responsibility for his midfield selections, with no tacklers in sight. If by any remote chance we could get a result today and Gary plays a part, Spike will fell vindicated, but on the other hand, if the Swifts can take advantage of our relaxed attitude in midfield, we fear for the worst. If we don't get a result today the manager will be on a sticky wicket and rightly so we think.

Spike, has been successful in turning our fortunes around when we play the Swifts, the only manager to have a winning record against Dungannon, who used be a thorn in our flesh, so to speak. So he has a reputation for crafting a win and it usually is a close run thing, so if you suffer from a nervous ailment, maybe you best stay at home, with all our other part-time supporters who have been moaning and mewing to anybody who will listen, like young kittens.

But the terriers, who make up most of our die-hard supporters, will be there, supporting the team, for they know, no other way. As far as we know, Mark Magennis, is clear for making his debut today, yet another reason not to miss the trip to Stangmore Park, unless he is still suspended, surely not? No news about JT, we assume he's still injured and the way he's been playing of late, he's no use to us. It seems Tony and Gavin times are up, but we will endeavour to glean as much info as we are allowed.

So its all systems go for a result, any result will, we think, keep our manager in his job at least another week, but its bound to be getting close if we don't turn the corner soon. Maybe the inclusion of Maggy (Magennis), will make the difference. As we haven't been to any friendlies, is he's still an enigma to ourselves. As far as we know, he hasn't got a lot of pace, so he'll slot into our pace-less midfield very nicely, but we are looking for big things from him, COSB!
