Has been released from his contract, no surprise really as he hasnt been the same player since his bad injury.

All the best for the future Cates.

All the best.
Back to North Leigh to play with ex scummer Chris Allen then?

I hear Paul Sturrock is preparing to sign him :wink:

It's a shame he didn't have a proper injury free shot at it.

He put on a bit of weight and had some prescence sadly it almost seems inevitable he would be released. best of luck to him though.

I kinda hope he does well. Another part of me couldn't care less though...

shame I still reckon him .. will end up at the Pox i reckon!

A big part of couldn't care less, another part. No wait, that's pretty much it.

Pretty clear he wasn't going to make it after the string of injuries. Not sure he'd have made it anyway. Didn't quite seem to have the presence on the pitch when I saw him play (which was only a few times).

Would have made it but for the injuries.

Its a real shame, because he's the second best youth player weve produced in the last 5 years.

Just because the lad got unlucky with injuries and therefore couldn't show us what he could do, doesn't mean I don't care.

All the best for the future Andy, hope you have the determination to start afresh and work your way up from a lower level.

A shame but he was never the same after injury tbh.

His attitude was shocking.

Cheerio.

Thank fuck someone else said that

I swear I heard Byrne say a few weeks ago that they was extending him until the end of the season as he had been unlucky with injuries and was looking to get him a loan deal.

Obviously changed their minds.

Looked very tubby at the Chippenham game the other week

saw him play for supermarine earlier in the season.he got dragged off at half time.says it all really.

His contract was extended by a month... malpas obviously knew his injury histry and knew he would be cheap to get rid of.

To be honest, he just reminded me of Alan Young, i didn't ever see anything that excited me about him. I always wanted him to do well, but loads seemed to think he was the next Michael Owen.

Also, I used to play Football Manager, so know for a fact he wasn't really that good.  8)

It must have been difficult stuck in limbo for all of that time not being able to train properly or play and steer away from the temptations that any lad his age should be getting up to.

Clean start is probably what the doctor ordered.

was extended by a month and he was on loan at Brackley for the month, with the games called off not sure he even played for them.

He reminded me of a young Cristian Roberts. Make your mind up whether thats a good or a bad thing!

Obviously its the right decision, but I still hope he does well in the game. Our youth rejects rarely proove us wrong.

Shame thought he was going to make up into a good player.

Alex Rigley played for our Sunday League team a couple of months back.

meh. i never saw what other saw in him.

Once he got injured and then fat that was always going to be the end of the line for him, his pace was his major asset as far as i could tell

I go to uni with a good friend of his - sounds like a total pisshead!  Plus he was an Oxf*rd fan as a kid!   Adios!

Having a pisshead friend who supported Oxblurgh doesn't make Caton a bad person. But then I realised that the friend is a uni student too ...

Tough luck Andy.  :P

 Caton turned out for a Scum side tonight in a friendly against  Milton United, who I believe are Hellenic League.  Apparently the Scum fielded seven or eight players who've played in a slightly higher standard of non league this season.

 Milton won 2-1....

tee hee hee i also seen this

Andy Caton is a cunt for going to a trial with Scum.  :twisted: i hate to say it but I did take some pleasure from him going off injured

Fuck off gazza, hes a free man now, not everything is stfc in this world

I won't fuck off. End of the day he was our player yes and yes he is a free man, so he can do as he likes. I know he likely got the trial because his dad played there but I disown any player who goes there past, present or future who wore our shirt. Thats just my stance.

 Is it anything like the Len Ganley stance.

if i was a professional footballer and oxford offered me a trial, i'd take it.

You need to get out more fella, hes 20 I hope he does well.

I wouldn't if i knew gary stanley would hate me for it

Would you not want to stay in the professional leagues then?

Are they still professional?  :soapy tit wank:

 Apparently the owner Lenegan went on radio recently and categorically denied rumours that they were about to go part time.

  I think the fact he denied it probably means its likely to happen  :)

Keep your arms as rigid as a juggernaut
Clench your fists, point your knuckles straight ahead
Do your best to look like a teddy bear
Then try and pretend to look vertically dead

 Yep...think it is.

Everybody's doing it

Everybody do the Gaz Stanley stance...

Caton can fuck off, but that logic means disowning the mighty Eric Sabin. You can't do that.

Agent Sabin done what was requested so we cna;t critisise him.

Caton is an ex-pro that is looking for a new club and I'm sure he will take first team football anywhere if it is offered - even if it is with pox.

fair play to caton wherever he goes.
i agree with bushey and sonic about this.

footballers dont hate clubs like fans do.there is a difference and some fans(gazza)need to realise this.caton or anyother player needs to sort themselves out loyalty doesn't come into it.

Caton is an Oxford fan FFS!
