Peterborough Vs U's Match Preview

“A two legged final in the southern section got us of to a nightmare start, a 2-0 defeat at London Road blew our Wembley dreams apart. 7 days later what a night we saw, helped on by the Barside roar! Twiggy and Buckle reduced the arrears and Paul Abrahams wiped away our tears!!!”

U's Vs Cheltenham Match Preview

Colchester United continue to frustrate as the nearly men, after conceding a 93rd minute equaliser last Saturday that the Railwaymen did precious little to deserve (though to be fair, the lad took it well). Away at Brizzle Rovers we deserved at least a point from our second half pressure, and away at Swindon we deserved at least a point from our first half dominance. In the end though, just one point that should have been at least five. There’s no point in crying about it though, if we don’t take our chances, these things will happen. Mind you, Harry’s goal was a peach!

U's Vs Crewe Match Preview

Fri, 11 Sep 2026 09:37:35 +0100

After back-to-back away defeats, the U's return home this weekend to take on Crewe Alexandra. The games at Bristol Rovers and Swindon were both true tales of two halves. At Bristol, we were rightly behind at the break but threw everything at the hosts in the second half and were unfortunate not to come away with at least a point. Last week at Swindon it was a different story, as we capitulated after the interval following a dominant first 45 minutes in which we should have been two or three goals to the good. The faithful will be hoping for a complete 90-minute performance this weekend.

Swindon Vs U's Match Preview

Fri, 04 Sep 2026 18:04:00 +0100

After a demanding, frustrating, encouraging but ultimately fruitless visit to Bristol Rovers on Tuesday evening we now face an equally challenging trip to Swindon Town. As it stands the U’s and Swindon have identical records in League Two with both clubs having 100% records at home so far, but will that still be the case tomorrow evening?

Bristol Rovers Vs U's Match Preview

Tue, 01 Sep 2026 03:48:00 +0100

Now I am going to start today’s preview with a bit of a gripe. On 31 July, I emailed the club to vent my frustration at the cost of the Video Pass Credits for Col U TV and with queries regarding ‘Full Match Replays’ and highlights of the matches considering the time difference with me living in New Zealand. I received a generic response from David Gregory (see my post in the ‘Pre-season friendly fred’ on 02:51 - Aug 4). At the bottom of his email, he states that “In terms of the highlights and full replays, this is something that we are planning on continuing this season and into the future."

Blog: Musings on the 2013/14 Season (Part 2) - The Watergate Scandal

Wed, 25 Jun 2014 19:49:36 +0100

I've had a bit of a break since my last blog, but at my age my memory is going, my legs are stiff and there were plenty of Col U performances I'd rather forget. So yes, where was I? Yes, Rachel Riley on countdown and her conundrum 'EOVLLESGYL'. No that wasn't it - Rotherham away and the scandal that was 'Watergate'!

Blog: Geoffrey Squire Comes Out Of Retirement! Musings on the 2013/14 Season (Part 1)

Mon, 19 May 2014 20:38:59 +0100

So there I was, quietly sitting with slippers on gazing out of the window and listening to the tones of the countdown clock. When out of nowhere I get a message come through. The sender was Daniel of The U'sual fame. It had been so long that I thought I was seeing things. The message read along the lines of "Squire, I need help with my site, fancy writing a few things for me". At first I was more dumb-struck than wondering how Cian Bolger ever made it as a pro footballer. But then I thought to myself, "Why not Squire old boy, it's about time you shrugged off the tartan blanket and came out of retirement". So here it is, my musings on the 2013/14 season and my attempt to come back into the game, like Doogie away at Walsall and possibly equally as brief.
