Football update

It's been quite a while since the last update but truth to be told, there have not been many victories to report although the food in the Pye has been excellent post-match.

Starting with games, we drew 1 - 1 in the cup last week with new Matt hitting the bar with a deflected shot which fell obligingly to myself to head home and lost last night in a league match which saw us stumble to a 3 - 1 defeat.

It would be a lie to say it was unmerited but it was a spirited performance against a useful side who were able to break quickly and exploit an increasingly noticeable lack of pace at the back. Looking well out of it at three down, we did hit back to score as new boy Craig threaded a nicely weighted ball into my feet allowing me to turn and hit home.

You'll have noticed a changing line up were you in the crowd. Last night we took to the field with Rich in goal, Dom, Dave and Craig at the back, Phil and Matt C in the middle and me up front. Dougie was otherwise detained, as was 4 pint Pete and in the big news, new Matt is now old Matt. He has left for adventures abroad in his converted van which has all the conveniences you could wish for in a home.

He'll be missed enormously as spaceships are not easy to come by but he has left a legacy of goals on which to feast the memory. First Kev, now Matt. Truly the end of an era. What does the future hold for the boys in Dundee Utd white? I'll try to keep you updated.

In the meantime don't forget to check out old Matt's blog to keep up to date with his travels. Use the link below to visit the attractively named 'Stinky River'.
