FC United Round Up
FC United of Manchester, the club formed from Manchester United supporters following Malcolm Glazier’s takeover, have had an equally rough start to their season as their “elder brother”.
Now playing in the Unibond First Division the team have suffered defeats in both their opening games. Lancaster beat them 2-1 and Garforth Town 1-0. According to the reports, the poor start is not the only similarity between the two United’s. Star player Stuart Rudd was unfairly sent off in the 1-0 defeat to Garforth and FC United have had the majority of possession in both games
The Reds hit the bar, had a goal disallowed for offside in the dying seconds and had the lion’s share of possession throughout the match, but if truth be told they failed to create enough clear-cut chances in front of goal and were hit on the break with less than 20 minutes to go by Jason St Juste.
Sounds familiar, doesn’t it ?
Unfortunately, this season it doesn’t look like I will be able to see anything of FC United as Channel M has stopped showing the highlights package that I watched. Unlike, biffafootie, as a Timperley boy myself, I’ll still view Channel M occasionally for some more odd stuff from Frank Sidebottom.

I had forgotten about Channel M. It seemed a bit City based from what I remember but good for news on Sale Sharks.

I remember I told you about the FC United program so it is a shame that it’s now cancelled. I must remember to check out Sale as well. Want to see them again this season? Georgie was interested in going again.

Will do but I think the result will favour London Irish tjis year. I’m not sure when the fixture is. Jopefully later in the season or else all the better players will be at the World Cup.
