Never in all my years of supporting OUFC have I seen such an arrogant display as the one I saw today from Mr Mooney. He should, quite frankly, be ashamed of himself and an apology to the fans would not be out of the question. I spend my hard earned money buying a ticket and travelling 100+ miles to the home games and to lose is bad enough, but to have a player quite blatantly in a sulk for the majority of the second half is disgraceful. Davies did not deserve the mouthful he got, and I appreciate that he could not head the ball, but surely that should have been accounted for by chasing down the ball and harrying the defenders? With half an hour left of the season to see him kick the ball from the kickoff in sheer pectulance was an utter disgrace.

I for one will not be sorry to see him go if he repeats that attitutde for any games from now to the end of the season. He should remember, he has never been a footballing great, he is just an above average player in a lower than avergae team in a lower than average league. He is also keeping talented young players out of the first team, namely Davies and Brooks, who would relish his first team slot.

I am not a huge fan of Davies and would tend to side with Mooney in their little dispute because Davies does look a tad over confident, however, when Davies came on he showed the hunger and desperation for a result that Mooney could not be bothered to give.

First of all let me make it clear that I think Mooney has been one of if not the best Oxford players this year. Today however I thought his attitude stank. Not just his own play (obviously did not want to head the ball all game) but the way he got stuck into other players and his body language all game. Some examples:
- stood their shaking his head for a full minute and held his face in his hands when Davies came on for Basham
- lambasted Davies after he had balsted a free kick over the ball
- lambasted Rapponi after he delivered a free kick into the box which he obviously thought should have been laid back to him
- his attitude particularly in the second half said I ndo not want to be here.

I have supported him home and away all season and totally out of character stayed behind after the final whistle to let Tommy know how I felt about his game today.
I shouted "Tommy, Captains are meant to encourage". His response "p...s off".
If their is a divide in the camp, as was suggested on Rad Ox how much is down to Mooney? I wonder whether the reason Davies is not playing is because he and Mooney do not get on. If that is the case then Mooney will destroy the confidence of a young player like Davies.

Barnsley at home, he got subbed before half time a la Rooney, when he was practically raping the referee. That was mental.

Good old Mooney.

Tommy Mooney is a wanker (bit like me really}
