Britain's standard-bearer ultras group, Aberdeen's Red Ultras, disbanded earlier this month.
Their website simply states:
We are sad to announce that as of Tuesday 5th January 2010 the Aberdeen Red Ultras have ceased
to exist.
The Red Ultras were set up in 1999 by a group of supporters who wished to bring colour and
atmosphere to games involving our beloved Aberdeen Football Club.
With the fourth round of the Scottish Cup taking place this weekend it was always going to be a
quiet time in Scottish football. But thanks to the weather, it's going to be even quieter. Unless
you're East Fife's lawyer.. We where disturbed to hear this week of the SFA's cunning plan to keep
competition in [.
It's been a while, but at last we've a full set of games on a Saturday. So, send the kids to the
neighbours, the wife to the shops and yourself down the stadium, as we look forward to another
weekender full of top, well, okay-ish, footballing skill, thrills and dodgy refereeing decisions!
We've no time this [.
Jimmy Calderwood didn't get off to the best of starts as he tries to rekindle his managerial career
his Kilmarnock side went down 3-0 at home to Motherwell. We often hear about the effect that a

What a difference a week (or so) makes. Mental note to self: after not having blogged for many blue
moons, avoid doing so when you're still getting over a rather sore defeat in a cup tournament. The

definitely have something to smile about.
Sir Alex Ferguson spoke to a group of philosophy students at Dublin's Trinity College about
power, control and success.
"If I lose control of these multi-millionaires in the Manchester United dressing room then
I'm dead," said Ferguson. "So I never lose control. If anyone steps out of my control,
that's them dead.
Thank goodness all that Cup nonsense is out of the way. It's Saturday, meaning there's nae work,
only good 'ole Leage Football. This weekend sees a full fixture list across all four divisions,
which given recent meteorological events is a rare occurance indeed. Is this perhaps the first
signs of the Second Coming?
In a remarkable weekend of Scottish fitba in which the league leaders across the four divisions of
Scottish football either saved or dropped valuable points in injury time, Inside Left comes out
smelling of roses, as the predictions we made on Friday turn out to be almost correct. I was
actually a minute or so away [.

The British ultra scene suffered a bit of a set back a couple of weeks back with the news that the
Red Ultras of Aberdeen had disbanded. Hassle from the police, stewards and even ex-players meant
they finally laid down their red flags and hoisted up the white ones of defeat. I've no doubt
they'll be back though, probably bigger and better.
