Saints To Replace An Unlucky Supporter's Taider Shirt
Monday, 1st Sep 2014 17:26

One unlucky Saints fan thought he was fine to get the name of one of Saints new signing's on his shirt, he was wrong !

Saints in line with most football clubs these days have a warning notice to supporters up that all names and numbers printed on replica shirts are final and the club cannot be held responsible if a player leaves or changes his number.

However the twitter user who goes under the name of #JBridle2 must have thought he was on safe ground when he bought a new away shirt with Taider 17 on it, after all the player had only just arrived at the club and been issued with his number, surely nothing could go wrong.

Of course we now know it could and seemingly the once proud owner of the shirt had wasted something in the region of £60 plus on a shirt that when worn would now be the subject of much pointing and sniggering.

Probably more in hope than expectation JBridle2 took to twitter and posted a pic of the shirt on the clubs official twitter account asking "Any chance of a refund ?"

The club would have been well within their rights to ignore it, but these days its a more caring club, within minutes they had replied

"Oh dear, @JBridle2. If you bring your shirt to the St Mary’s Megastore, we’ll replace it for you. #saintsfc"

Hopefully they havent got too many of these taider shirts out there otherwise it could be a costly excercise if they have to replace all of them, or perhaps they have only agreed to let Taider go if he forks out the cash, certainly we will have paid him well enough for the last three weeks not to mention the cost of putting him up in an expensive hotel.

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?
