Three Sleeps!

The excitement is beginning to build and United have just released a new away kit, to replace their all Black outfit, which offered the players an excuse for misplaced passes, under the sub-standard floodlights that we are forced to play under. The tops of this kit are Yellow, the shorts Royal Blue and White socks, we are told. The 'Sport crew are divided on whether we like this kit or not, but Omar doesn't like the Royal Blue shorts.

Our manager, Spike, gave a frank interview to a local Belfast paper, holding forth on his nearest and dearest subject, referees. He intimated that he thought they should admit their mistakes, instead being stood down, but he's been calling for that before and nothings happened yet. It will be interesting to see who gets the whistlers job this Saturday, against Linfield, as 'Linfield are the IFA', the refs tend to favour them, but their chief, Davey Malcolm, refutes that notion.

The Tippers rumour has seemingly died down, but as he has a year left on his contract, it will take real money to prise him away from the Showgrounds, we think. But what do we know, we were surprised when Gibbo and Hanley left in mid-season, in Roy Walkers reign, but many think the bold Roy, 'cut off his nose to spite his face' as they say, we don't see Spike being so foolhardy. No news is good news as they say, except for the away kit, we have no news, COSB!
