Dreaded Derby!

This Saturday it's 'Derby day' in the Irish league, the day that form goes out the window. There's a couple of meaningless ones in Belfast, the Blues and the Glens, Cliftonville and Crusaders, but the 'real' Derby takes place at Coleraine Showgrounds, where my beloved Sky Blues, take on the 'gas' men. As I said form generally goes out the window and nobody hopes that more than Roy Walker and the Sky Blues.If the Coleraine 'scum' were to inflict yet another defeat on this 'clueless' United team, then I think it might have serious repercussions for everyone at Ballymena. Roy Walker has somewhat surprisingly escaped the wrath of United fans, but yet another disjointed display against the 'team we love to hate', could well be the last straw for United's loyal followers. Will the 'buck' stop with Roy Walker and his two assistants, I ask myself? The one thing that has been constant for United during the last 8 years of non-performing, has been Chairman Robert Cupples and the United board. Maybe we (United fans), will be demanding a complete reshuffle, not just in management, but among the board members themselves. United have one of the biggest squads in the league, with cover in almost every position, but and I stress the word 'but', they have no 'top performers' in any of these positions. Looking objectively at our team one by one doesn't make for interesting reading, but United fans will be looking for that little spark this Saturday that might give them a good day out. All we ask at the end of the day is that the team play with a wee bit of pride, not the 'couldn't care less attitude' so much in evidence so far this season. So come on Sky Blues, hold your heads high and let's obliterate this Coleraine 'scum', or at least give them a bloody game, you owe us at at least that I think!
