A Christmas Message From The Ugly Inside

A Christmas Message From The Ugly Inside
Saturday, 25th Dec 2010 11:24

A quick message to all our members.

A very Merry Xmas to everyone that reads the Ugly Inside, this year has seen a big cjange to the site, including a move to a new network and in the main its been a positive reaction to the new site.

However its not been without its teething problems and in some ways we have become a victim of our own success as viewing figures and posts on the message board increased drastically.

Of course when you get long standing members augumented with new posters there can be a clash and sometimes this happens, but I think that all members both old and new need to sit back and enjoy the site rather than getting uptight about others, the reason that I started the Ugy Inside along with Clive Foley nearly 23 years ago was to give all supporters a chance to air their views, whatever those views maybe and for me the reason that I have continued to run this site almost a quarter of a century later is that I want to read other peoples opinions, if i disagree I want to try and change their view and if they disagree with me, I want them to try and change mine, I have never thought that my opnion is right, merely that its my opinion. If I change one persons viewpoint and that makes them more open to respecting others, then I have acheived something on this site.

One thing it will never be is a one dimensional site where all opinions must reflect those of the web master, variety is the spice of life.

So once again i thank everyone who posts on the message board or merely just reads the site, keep coming back and telling the world what you think and remember just because someone disagrees with you, dont walk away, try and change their mind.

Happy Xmas to all of you.

felly1 added 19:33 - Dec 26 Always enjoy reading your views and often disagree with them but nevertheless it makes for a much more interesting read than the dull interviews with players and managers that the Echo or the official site fob us off with.Thankyou and merry Christmas.

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?
