Are we any better than other supporters ?
Written by Andyconky on Friday, 30th Oct 2020 09:37

I've found Twitter recently rather than other social media platforms and really found myself questioning it?

Firstly I should say that everyone is entitled to an opinion as its exactly that, however I have had the audacity have a different opinion on Andre Ayew for example and also on Steve Cooper.

On Twitter the response sometimes is way out there. I'm never quite sure why my credentials as a Swans fan need to questioned or why people need to try and belittle people for a different viewpoint to theirs.

Is this just a case of people in general being braver from behind a keyboard, or maybe being provocative in the hope of gaining followers on their social media platform.

I for one love being able to get Swans information at a click from deepest darkest Yeovil but feel that comes at a price as people always seem to want to knock others who, like anyone actually involved at the club see the players every day and are professional people, and are probably far more informed that the rest of us.

We can all offer an opinion on team selection but we just don't know what's happened that week in terms of availability, injuries, different set up in terms of opposition, resting players or even god forbid their personal life. The reaction can be anything from 'strong selection' to 'he doesn't know what he's doing'.

Well that's the point 'he probably knows more than you or I.

The fans of Swansea city via the SCST are proposing to take the other owners of the club to court. This is disgraceful. The trust stated on many occasions that they did not want to sell their holding. They now wish to sell their entire holding as a matter of principle. They have been very badly managed with no strategy or philosophy. If they go ahead with the case the club will suffer and loca jobs will be lost. The Swansea fans the the SCST as a trade union not as owners. Not only are they not any better they are far worse on the current trajectory.

Knees-up Mother Brown #24 by wessex_exile

After another weekend break to spend a very enjoyable afternoon with Spireite Craig watching the U’s get a well-deserved point at runaway leader Mansfield Town, followed by promotion back to the EFL for Chesterfield, the matchday Saturdays left before the end of the season are running out. So, given I’m away again next Saturday again to join 9,000+ for the visit of Planet Hollywood, I’m going to slip in a Good Friday special ahead of what will undoubtedly be two extremely important fixtures in deciding the fate of Colchester United. On Monday the family are arriving for their traditional Easter Egg Hunt (and obligatory roast dinner), so here goes for the visit of t’other Exiles to the JobServe. Come on Col U!

Following a disappointing result at Holker Street, exacerbated by yet more poor refereeing to deny us a clear penalty in the first half and award a non-existent free-kick to give the Bluebirds a first half lead (albeit the free-kick was an absolute blinder), and the inevitable postponement of the Donny game on Tuesday, the U’s now find themselves in the relegation zone. It is what it is, and with seven of our remaining 11 games at home, our destiny is still very much in our own hands – but everyone has to do their job, both on and off the (repurposed) pitch.

Thanks to a combination of postponements and a trip to Sutton following the U’s, it has been three weeks since the last blog, as the U’s prepare to face a very tricky opponent in Barrow AFC. Since they were voted out of the football league in 1972 (arguably thanks to Ronnie Radford’s screamer against Newcastle in the Edgar Street mud), the Bluebirds spent 48 years in the non-league wilderness before their return following the Covid-19 curtailment to the 2019/20 season. Some are surprised at how well they’re doing this season, but probably shouldn’t be – under new manager Pete Wild they finished a very respectable 9th last season and are clearly aiming to improve on that this time around. Mind you, we’ve got our own new management team in place too, and whilst wins are proving elusive right now, we’re certainly making ourselves a team hard to beat.

Bill Shankly once said that form is temporary, class is permanent. He was of course correct, but let’s hope never more so than today’s visit to Wetherby Road to take on the form side of League 2, Harrogate Town. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say the Sulfurites have defied the expectations of most pundits, many tipping them to be in another relegation scrap this season. But, long-standing manager (and former player) Simon Weaver has turned things around, and they currently sit just two places and two points outside the play-offs. Weaver was rightly awarded the Sky Bet League 2 Manager of the Month for January – hope he looks after it, because it’ll be Danny’s soon.

February, and the U’s enter the most pivotal month of the season. Six games in just four weeks, with four of them against sides also in the bottom six. By March we should be either well clear of danger, or even deeper in the sh*t. With Danny Cowley’s U’s still unbeaten, and looking stronger game on game, I’m sure it’ll be the former, but first we have to do our bit to consign Steve ‘Sour Grapes’ Cotterill’s FGR back to non-league. After our shambolic 5-0 defeat at New Lawn, nothing would give me greater pleasure, even if it meant losing one of my closest awaydays in the process. What’s the excuse going to be today Steve – shocking pitch, faking head injuries, Mexican banditry or some other bit of sour-grapery bullsh*t?
