I was sitting in a rather large pub in Chipping Norton, sitting by myself in one of the dining areas with the TV in front of me.
Now, Chipping Norton has a bit of a population of Oxford United fans, so throughout the game people would come and glance at the screen and tut, or say "You're gonna lose."
I was so on edge and glued through the whole game, that the extra cold pint I ordered at the start of the game was unfinished by the end, and in the last 10 minutes I was shouting "Come on town, let's steal a win!"
So I was getting ready for a draw and the prospect of a level battle at the CG on Monday...
Then Byrne shot towards goal....
The keeper made a howler...
The net bristled...
Next thing I knew I was on my knees, punching the air, and dancing in sync with a tubby town fan on the telly; doing everything in my power not to shout the place down; as the more highly populated bar area was just through an open archway.
The pub had a very grumpy and silent feel to it afterwards! Apart from a couple of stray Town fans who came over and celebrated with me. The result is amazing, and I cannot wait to go on Monday night.
Full County Ground please!
