The wallies on Radio Oxford suggested that he went down with cramp. How often do professional goalkeepers get cramp?
That Rhodes Brown gimp was really annoying, every time the main commentator suggested Pox were doing something wrong, he kept saying 'oh no, we are Oxford United, that's not our way' etc. Total plum that man (who ever he is).
It made me laugh that the commentator on Radio Oxford kept mentioning repeatedly that the ground only had 3 stands - it was only a small thing but tickled me that he kept going on about it. Didn't Rhodes Brown play for Chelsea as well?

Rhodes-Brown used to play for Chelsea and us.
We don't normally waste time, the derby is the most effective I've seen us do it and that was mainly down to the ball boy and crowd keeping the balls. The ball boy wouldn't have been under any instructions to do it, just a youth team player who supports his club.
Our 'keeper was booked in the 20th minute (of the first half) against the Shrews, a complete joke of a booking. The ball went over the crossbar and because he didn't immediately run to get it he was booked.
The ref was really awful all night. Wilder said he had a bad feeling when he met the Shrews staff and the ref beforehand; the ref was on first name terms with all of them and very pally. He gave throw-ins the wrong way when it was obvious, added 2 mins in the first half (there were some injuries) and then 5 in the second (there were no injuries). Also, to underline his ineptitude, gave our player offside direct from a throw-in which is impossible. Boo hoo I know.

Sounds like your keeper was simply getting his just desserts after his antics on saturday. Not sure how you can say for sure the ballboy wasn't instructed to waste time either but we'll just have to beg to differ. I'm off to look at the league table....

Sadly these sort of inept refereeing performances seem to be the norm at our level. At least you get consistency and shouldn't be too surprised when it happens!!

Er... From Shrewsbury forum:/ Can't see how they can complain about the time added on really. Five subs in the second half, two goals, physio on the pitch and their players told on a number of occasions time was being added on for time wasting In fact they don't seem to like our yellow friends at all going by that thread http://blueandamber.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=77989

I think the Shrews fans sum the yellows forum up perfectly in that thread!! There must be a forum where there are intelligent Oxford fans surely? Or am I asking too much?

They seem a little more reasonable here: http://www.rageonline.co.uk/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=1&sid=f7cf2f4d774ede861cf94c2fcb396286Oxford fans more-so than a group of Swindon haters. There seems to be fewer of them though.

Had a quick look. Seems to be a much more intelligent forum. Shame there doesn't seem to be many posters on it as it looks like you could actually have some decent banter on that without the usual childish 'webbed fingers' 'you shag your mum/sister/aunt' drivel on that other place.
