UNA Strassen (a) 31/07/25

Totally hyped for this. Flying out Tuesday and one of the lucky bassas to actually have a ticket for the match. I was never one coming out with outrageous predictions like 8-0 United that some on social media were spouting, but nor was I expecting things to be as tight as they are at HT in the tie. In reality, Strassen were at a Livingston/Ross County/St Johnstone level and we know how tight games against that lot always are. Was hoping to have a carefree jolly on the piss for a few days but now Thursday night has a lot on the line.

I’m at a stage currently where it’s simply get a result, any result. I’m really not bothered how we do it because anything else could have a seriously detrimental effect moving in to the new season - we saw it three years ago and given the run of fixtures we have to start the league campaign, there is potential for similar if we’re not careful.

Line up - who knows? I’m not sure JG even knows yet. Likely same at the back but beyond that it could be anyone’s guess. First goal will be v1tal - we get it and I think we’re fine. Other way round, well………..

Either way, will absolutely have a great time - two years ago started in the Station Bar in Arbroath. This year it’s (almost) starting in Luxembourg City. It’s been some ride………..

C’MON UNITED!
