I admit to being one of those with a chip on their shoulder when it comes to Holbeach, and Spalding last season (although I'm not aware of anyone having a problem with Sileby the year before - Oadby maybe). On all occasions though that has been down to the attitude/behaviour of certain representatives of each club - Oadby's Chairman publically criticising Starms' management skills after our defeat at their place two years ago, and their arrogance in thinking they'd won promotion in January; Fat Payment's derogatory comments about our supporters and players prior to our victory over Spalding last season; and then this season, Dumb & Dumber's digs at our club in the media, their pathetic, childish behaviour during both game between us and Holbeach, and the blatant time wasting/gamesmanship/cheating in the game a couple of weeks ago.mackemcobbler wrote:exactly I look on this site every now & then & find some on here seem to have a chip on their shoulder about certain teams this year its Holbeach, last year it was Spalding the year before Silby
If any of our club officials behaved like the above we would be castigated by the entire UCL and beyond, yet when other clubs behave that way towards us, it's absolutely fine. I'm not so naive that I didn't expect this when we joined the UCL, and I totally accept that this is how things are going to be for a while yet, but I won't accept being criticised, and certainly won't apologise, for having a chip on my shoulder because of this hypocrisy.
All that aside, Jonny Allen's injury is another matter altogether, and I'm sure the vast majority of our supporters hope he makes a full recovery, and wouldn't wish that sort of injury on anyone, regardless of who they play for. Those who don't, deserve to be criticised.
