Not Entertainment!

While watching United week in and week out, as I do, I have grown accustomed to lacklustre performances but in the last two games United have really plumbed the depths of mediocrity. The game at the Mallards was a bad example of a game with nothing at stake, but two days ago at Warrenpoint, when United had a target in mind, consolidating 7th place, they played like a team of individuals who had just met before the kick-off. I don't care what anybody says, there's no excuse for this 'devil may care' attitude, we deserve to be entertained but we have been short-changed by the Sky Blues.

If our manager, Spike, had picked a weakened team on Tuesday last at Milltown, I could have forgiven him, but that line-up, minus our keeper Shan, could be our Irish cup final selection and they didn't inspire confidence, if anyone has been undecided about the final and witnessed that gutless performance, I'd lay money, on them giving the final a miss. A few are talking about Captain Jenks for 'Footballer of the year' in our club and if we win the Irish cup, it'll be hard to curb their enthusiasm for the Scottish native. But in our last two games, when we were looking for somebody to give us inspiration, Alan, was as mediocre as the rest, if not worse.

One man has stood head and shoulders above everyone else in the last month or two and indeed all season, David 'Cookie' Munster. David will never see 35 again, but he plays like a man half his age and his never-say-die attitude is an example to his younger and fitter team-mates. Rumour has it that he's thinking of packing football in after this season, but I hope that the United management team will try to change his mind and if all else fails, sign him on a 'match to match' basis. But maybe David has seen enough of this United panel and their big heads, I certainly have. With only two games to go, at home to Ards on Saturday and then the big one on 3 May against Glenavon, in ten days, soon it will be a memory, I for one can't wait!
