So then, the big one.

I didn't die on my night out. And am pretty intoxicated.

same old, same old.


Lets fucking smash the yellow filth.

4-0 town.

BOOM.

COYR.

Here he is, good lad!

If anyone that has a ticket for tomorrows game has suffered any misfortune and cannot go, then I will pay handsomely for the privilege.

3-1 Swindon COYR

^^^What he said and i said to my mate 3-1 Swindon.

Yeah ....... im going for a 4-1 demolition and then watch the fire drill at 1;30 :clap:
 LIVE STREAM....

I have also daydreamed that we would replicate the score of last weekends north london derby. 2-0 down then come back to win 2-5, that would shut the XXXXs up

4-2 Town. Bit nervous, me.  :headhurts:

0-0 I reckon.

But pray I'm wrong and we win 5-0.

Bricking it. 3-1 to the Town.

Yeaaaaaa cant sleep never wake up this early soapy tit wank!!

Good lad SSWS. Hope the boys show their class with a comprehensive dicking 3-0.

Rooney and Richie to rip them to pieces and a comfortable 3-1 win

I want us to totally destroy them  6-0 but I think we will win 2-0

we will win 2-1 after going 2-0 up risser sent off they will score and we will hold on for dear life

It seems like our run is destined to be ruined by our inferior neighbours. Dodgy refereeing and shit-all luck will see us lose 1-0 or 2-1. I just have a terrible gut feeling...

I can't decided between 1-1 and 2-0 to us? So there!

Premonition 0-4

3-0. Benson, Bodin, Duberry

Would be happy with a draw, but can't see past a Swindon win. 2-0.

1-1 (Smith 90+7)

You have pretty much described our outing to the Manor Ground early in 1990/91 (give or take a goal.)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2t5beCIGwfU&feature=player_embedded

Had to end my self-imposed internet holiday a few hours early.  Both my boys came in to the room and gave it a rousing COYR even before I was out of bed.  Set the day up nicely.

I don't predict results, but I'm hoping we don't just win...but that we take them to pieces.  Early goal, watch their heads drop after all the overblown hype, and then push on from there.

And when it is over, I won't be looking back.  I want this game finished, over, put to bed.  And then, once again, I want us in a different division to Oxford next year.  Three points today would help with that enormously.  They need the points more than we do - 7th place harder to achieve for them than 3rd place is to achieve for us.  So the pressure's on them.  Let's do it.

Well here it is, ever since the final whistle back in August I've wanted to play them again.

There is no doubt Paolo will have our players pumped and up for this game and I'm glad we have him in our dressing room than Wilder.

The players will be up for teaching Oxford a lesson and will start at 100mph, take an early lead and finish 3-0 winners.

Can't predict the score today. Anyway, see you all there and hopefully back here safely with the 3 points!

On our current form even including the fact we haven't played wonderfully the last few games, there's no reason we won't extend our winning run today.  However it would just be as typical to have the luck go against us and Oxford to beat us by an odd goal again.  For that reason I am feeling very nervous.  

I'm also concerned that today I'm stuck in bed recovering from an operation.  This discounts my usual keeping myself busy when Swindon are playing away and checking in randomly on here to find out the score.  Do I run the risk of listening fully on the radio, which I'm convinced brings them bad luck or try watching a live stream, which I've never done before.  1.5 hours of lying in bed pretending it's not happening will be unbearable.

The difference between August and now is almost immeasurable. We have a far far superior defence, a dangerous midfield and a bit of firepower. We have a confident team and a good team. Back then it was early days with no fluency whatsoever.

None of this means we will win, but if the worst happens I can see at least see past it to Tuesday night and another win. Oxford may win the battle, we will win the war if we get promoted and they don't.

But I hope we fucking smash them.

Take a look at the poxford united wikipedia page!  it may not last long though

Te he, though they did ours a couple of times yesterday.

3 points- I'd love to destroy them but would settle for a scrappy 1-0. I can't believe how relieved I was when I checked who started this thread. In SSWS we trust!

3-1 win, Benson & Connell. Get in, get the job done and get out.

2-0

Benson 86, Connell 89

I never try to predict results, just to say let's fucking destroy 'em

2-1 defeat.

I have a bad feeling about this. 2-1 defeat.

Good man!   :)

NMH you have a bad feeling about it every week :D

:spoton:

As I've I'm remaining positive 3-1 to the town COYR

Tad bored with it all now off to the allotment for the day

Comeee onnnn you reeeeddddd

Town to win 2-0.

'I get by, got a lot on my mind. I get by, got allotments on my mind'

I couldn't let SSWS shoulder this one on his own, it's a big responsibility.

Just got on the train from London after some nearly catastrophic oversleeping. Any win today.

I have a baaaaaaaaaaad feeling about today.

After all is said and done, we'll be top and I takes plenty of comfort in that.

2-1 defeat.

Ive got a good feeling about this. 15 nil to us.

I have a great feeling about today.

Swindon WILL win 4-0

 :wotjump: :wotjump: :wotjump:

As long as they don't win, I'd be happy. Reckon it'll be a nervy, tight game so can't see past a score draw. 1-1.

Fuck the yellow cunts, 2-0 Swindon, don't care who scores. Be safe everyone going!

Just going out for a night on the lash in Shanghai and hope to find the game on TV somewhere.  :pint: :pint:
Predict 2-0 to Town.
Please spare a thought for me, as I will be surrounded by millions of yellow fuckers not just a few thousand. :D :D :D :D :D :D If Ian (Salcombe Red) reads this, I hope you are getting better and Town leave your heart alone today, as the fuckerr has been attacking him recently.

I would actually take a 0-0 today and it's very rarerly that I say that.

Agreed OST

Take a look at the oxford wikipedia page, they seem to have a new club badge, its been up 2 hours and they have not even noticed, Come on the town!

I'm confident we'll win. I don't think the caulron of moderate abuse will get to the players. Another professional job either a 2-1 or 3-1 win. The fans will get in and out the ground easily with no fuss either.
Its not only a case of beating these cunts its also a case of denying them 3 points so the teams behind can catch them up.
Good luck to the Town fans going there. i'm off to the CG in the Members Suite with my daughter and brother in law. If anyone sees a really fat ugly twat with a daughter in town shirt and jeans and and a 6ft 3 brick outhouse then come and say hello.

I honestly think we'll win this game, 2-0 for me!

FUCKING COME ON FOOOOOTTTTBAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLL

Odd that. I like to think I'm not sad enough to have football dreams, but this morning when I woke up i distinctly remember the chant as our 15th went in: "is this a tennis match?"

Let's beat these twats.  4-0

I'm loving the 'cauldron of moderate abuse'.  Maybe they'll put that on their scary yellow flag?

:girlgiggle:

Sat in the four candles, watching town fans get turned away from what is now essentially a cafe: talk about taking no chances.

We have the best goalie in the league
We have the best defence in the league
We have the best right side in the league
We have a potent left wing
We have a great striker in Benson

Their best players are a 36(?) year old has been that likes scoring own goals and a striker that would just about get on our bench.

We're going to batter the pox.

 :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

whats the mood like nemo, is it tense :yum:

From wiki


 :toocool:

I hope we tear them a new one, but feeling very nervous so just a win would do.

As long as we don't have a repeat of this

We'll nick it 0-1 benson scoring

Personally this is a must NOT lose game. Live with an Oxford fan at uni and will not be responsible for my actions if we lose and he acts like a cunt (which he will, as i will as well if we win :D).

Smash the cunts. 0-3

All getting a bit nawty on the bus up, I just witnessed a man stick some chewing gum to the seat in front. Could kick off any moment...

Town: Foderingham; Caddis, Devera, McCormack, Cibocchi; Ritchie, Risser, Ferry, Rooney; Benson, Murray #STFC

SPORT: Swindon Town team v Oxford: Foderingham; Caddis, Devera, McCormack, Cibocchi; Ritchie, Risser, Ferry, Rooney; Benson, Murray. #stfc

#stfc subs: Bodin, Cox, Smith J, Connell, De Vita

Oxford: Clarke, Batt, Whing, Duberry, Tonkin, Holmes, Wilson, Hall, Johnson, Constable, Rendell"

Why fucking Risser? Please prove me wrong

Oh and morning all!

Think we'll win 2-0. It's natural be apprehensive when we've won 10 on the bounce and playing away to our rivals but we're a much better team in all areas of the field.

Can anyone vouch for the livestream website - is it dodgy if I download the viewer to my computer? Not tried this one before.

http://www.livestream24.tv/en/mdd7cdb09a6/oxford-united-swindon-town-live-stream

"come on the town" lets stuff the yellow scum.hope your right ssws 4-0 or 6-0  50-1 300-1  payes for my wembley trip .Onwards and upwards."COME ON YOU SSWWIINNDDOONNN"

Thats the spirit!

Not seen him play recently i take it ;)

I wouldn't download it if I was you. I can't imagine there'll be any streams, because as far as I know, it's not on TV anywhere.

That's a winning side.

And that isn't.

Hope Risser continues with his better form, personally would have started Smith.  I bet he's gutted he had to go off on Tuesday now? 

Thanks. Think I'll give it a miss and just have the radio on.

 
  hello to all town fans :bye:
  i am going,  poxford 1 paolos warriors 3  
 
  i would love to see the poxfans going home early and there playoffs hopes gone down the drain :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:
  
          o swindon we love youuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Just tried and avast blocked it.

just leaving for Cornwall. wont hear the result until i arrive. I just want another three points to get us nearer div 3 simply don't care about oxford.
Up the Town.

Have to go out to the supermarket now.  (Rock & roll!)  Back at half time, probably.  Brother at the game with instructions to get in touch if anything happens in the first half.  My fellow shoppers at Tesco Sandhurst are going to know all about it if we score.

Good luck, people.

Holmes to continue the "ex-Town scoring against us" phenomenon-but 'twill only be a consolation.

Hello

How can I watch this stupid fucking game? If I cant watch it - how can I hear it?

5 live sports extra, radio wilts, or the county ground

BBC Radio 5 live extra from 1155

Seems there is no stream anywhere to watch,

Can listen on STFC player or 5 Live Sports extra..


Phil Smith & Callum Kennedy in with the fans too..

Bit aggressive

I am stressed.

Oh brilliant turns out I have a digital radio. Brap brap brap!

Brap.

Wow this annoying fucking station is on a loop. Im going to kill myself!

Can't you listen to 5live on the interweb jimbo?

The players must be absolutely buzzing for this, I hope Paolo does his best to keep their heads cool with some of his dance moves...

It's not?

Please Please Please win

Guessing no ones found a genuine stream yet?

5 live SX doesn't start until 1155

Not in the habit of making predictions, so won't be changing that today. I guess you could say I'm sat on the fence ;)

Nope, been looking but none around..

Think its probably because he's got the most experienced head on him and he definitely wont take any messing about in the middle of the park. As far as the 'attitude' of the match goes, I think he is very good at reading the situation. If they want to come and kick lumps out of us then Id rather have Risser is the middle than JS because he's more likely to get carried away.

So my laptop speakers probably are working after all, the tension is getting to me.

ROOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssss we are live.

comeeeee onnn

Im in :D

you redddddddddddddddds

I can't get to Radio 5 live extra? It keeps directing me to Radio 5?

My Radio 5 live extra says 'currently off air' !!

STFC Player is free for two weeks, Just get that and make sure you cancel it.

It's WORKING!!!!

must be full, unlucky

Haha love how he keeps mentioning 3 sided stadium.

CMON TOWN

http://www.bbc.co.uk/5livesportsextra/commentaries/

click the little pink speaker icon.

I kinda conceded that i wasnt going be be able to go to this one, but hearing that atmosphere on the radio has got me proper buzzing. Wish i was there!

I wish I was there....we owe these

Prediction : Duberry to score 1st for Swindon

Makes me so nervous listening on the radio

thank you Sussex...I was havin' a mild panic attack there...

Mcormack having another pop at Cibo...

I hate this commentary..

The Radio 5 one is Oxford commentary by the sounds of it. Player it is!

Great chance for murray

Rooney close.

Who are the commentators?

who are these nobhead commentators?

We seem to be having a nice start....

Or channel 0144 on Sky. The blue screen is wicked.

read fuck all into that. Happens in every football match

Corner kick!

Fucking hell this commentary is unbearable.
One of them can't even speak properly.

Duberry manages to head it the right way.

Good start swindon

Keep up the pressure town

Fuck listening to these 2 pricks all fucking game.

They sound very Oxford biased.

Like someone said, STFC player is free at the moment I think, Sign up for that...

Though I forgot to cancel it after the last free trial..

The 5 live extra feed seems to be directly from radio oxford.  If I want bias commentary Ill have Swindon bias please.  Back to radio wilts!

cunts, lets get a goal and see what they say then

So THIS is what Oxford people sound like.. The co-commentator literally can't speak.

I can only hear our fans...

Can see why they only wanted 1000 of us

hes got a mouth full of porridge/cock

If anyone there can read this, how scary was the flag display?

hahahahahahaahahahahah

HA|HAHAAHAHAHAHAH@#!H!#@IH@!#HR!@#HR%

CUNTSTABLE SENT OFF! YES!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

WHAT A CUNT

Red Card Cuntstable !!!

Proof that James Constable is indeed, a Swindon Town fan

Kiss your fucking badge now

Think that may be 1-1 in the Paolo/Custstuble mind games

Im amused.  Bye bye beano.

HAHAHAHA fucking class. bye bye CUNTstable

OFF OFF OFF FUCK OFF YOU YELLOW FILTH CUNT

We're a 'decent' team apparently.  ???

Thats it fuck off you silly cunt!

Choke on your badge you fucking scum wanker

All the pox talk of a welcome to hell banner? Can only here Swindon

Welcome to the library

meh - anyone else worry that the scum will shut up shop now and play for 0-0.

I was worried when the commentators said that Constable hadn't started anything and our players were all bundling.. Phew

Nah impossible. They'll get knackered, and we're patient and sweet.

Better that than lose ....

dont think they have much choice!

My mate in the away end says he led with his elbow and it was right to send him off

what was the straight red for.  I could look it up but i am superstitious

Fuck

CUNT

FUCK

Mother fucker?

A blip.

Just thinking the same, hope it doesn't work against us

Having said that yeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssss!!!

No biggie

Fuckety fuck fuck.

Well that was obviously gunna happen wouldnt it :/

Balls

We'll come back

Oh.

Typical.  Sods law.

well, if they werent going to stick 9 men behind the ball before - they will now.

fucking typical, go a man up -lose a goal

Well... ermm..

Before the game, I would have taken 1-0 down but 1 man up.

11 Men, come on lads lets take advantage.

For fuck sake someone shoot that fucking commentater.

It might make things harder for us, but this early on, you would hope they won't be able to keep up the pace for nearly 80 minutes.

What did he get sent off?  I'm staying away from the radio.

Edit:  FFS.  I don't believe it.  Fightback time then Town.  We just cannot lose to 10 men!

fuckiing hell

fuck

FUCK SAKE.

you must be joking

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

What the fuck is going on?

Fucking hell town

I said yeeeeeeessssssssssss for the sending off, not the goal

christ sake

What the hell?

Wtf

Oxford fans have previous of net pulling don't they

Have they bottled it already?

2-0! Wtf?

This will take one hell of a comeback

PdC please.. Work your magic  :(

What the...

2 when they have 10 men!! WTF

Someone literally shoot that mother fucker.

What the fuck is wrong with them?
Now they need to earn their corn and di canio show his worth. We will learn alot today now

If I bump in to timmy mallet within the next 24hrs I can't be held responsable for my actions

Bloody hell!

Just arrived to hear 2 goals!

WTF.

3-5-2 already?

Connell on at half time I reckon

Farewell Ciboochi..

J Smith on.

Geez.. Unbelievable. Let's hope that whoever it was earlier in this thread that predicted an Arsenal style 2-5 scoreline gets his wish now.

The victory is now going to be even sweeter for the 1,200 there

I think we all knew Cibo was going off. Let's hope this makes a difference

Still 442 I think, mcormack at LB with risser CB and smith in the middle

Cannot listen to that radio anymore......follow it on here :D

This is bad.

This

Rather embarassing having to remove a player after 20 minutes.  Sorry, but why the fuck is Kennedy not even on the bench?  

I actually feel sick.  I don't think any of us were expecting this.  I think the most we can hope for now is a point?

Fuck fuck fuck fuck. ARGH.

Have they upped their game of their cup final or are we playing wank?

Oh FFS,   I lose thetownend for 5 mins, and when I get it back were 2-0 down.

Loads of time, imagine a 3-2 90th minute winner! Come on you redsssss

Does he want to mention the fact that its fucking 10 men and 1-0 then 2-0 any more fucking times?

Don't fucking go anywhere now.

1 back by half time, and we'll breeze it

long way to go my brothers. They will get tired. Remember all that horrible training we were doing? This is why............

We have a quality side apparently, lets fucking show it lads!

Almost.... Goal..  :(

I feel ill - just logged on from BA 2 down

We are top of the league, say we are top of the league

We will still be top of the league regardless anyway

Their keeper seems to be having a stormer.

at least oxford cans do the CG redevelopment, they like ripping up seats..

How the hell are they still getting forward so much when they are 2 up and have 10 men...

pericarp dont be a twit, sorry twat

I don't thik we've had to come back from more than one goal down this season have we?  In fact, when did we last concede more than 1 goal?

I can only imagine what the dressing room team talk will be like at half-time?!

What the fuck did I do?

I get some unfounded abuse. Fucking bullshit.

I think we need to get at least one back before half time.

 :D

I believe the last time was against oxford -___-

I was just wondering the same and went back a few pages to see what you'd said, which was uh nothing?!

If you're not feeling good.. try this.

http://make-everything-ok.com/

He's a trouble maker.

Bloody computer would'nt work and i had to listen to 5 live extra with that wanker Peter Rhodes Brown talking complete shit.Got to keep our discipline now and hope our fitness and extra man pay dividends in the 2nd half

Last time we conceded more than 1 in the league was Hereford Home.

last time we were 2 down in the league was Burton away

here comes the convicted killer

Ritchie hits post

hit the post! :crash:

hit the post the commentators didnt really react! WANKY WANKY WANKY

Good pressure here. Just got to stay patient and keep plugging away.

I swear Ritchie has hit the post more than he's scored..

Bollox....we needed that.

I know Kerrouche has hit the bar more times than Ritchie ;)

A goal this half is essential...

I know there's a long way to go yet, but anyone else thinking that maybe that little bit of luck we've had at times has run out today of all days?!

Pretty much exactly what I was expecting unfortunately. We've had 10 shots to their 4 so far, so let's keep going! It's not over yet!

I just think our boys don't like yellow.

I still have belief that we'll do the Arsenal

Get Connell on. Big game player

Doesnt sound like the scum have been lucky though.

I think we need to score before half time or we're done.

Nah, it will come. Heads will roll at half time.

come on the town lets have a 5-2win,no probs.does anyone know the addresses of  the radio oxford  comentators, pair of fucking knob heads

Agreed

Torquay, Oxford, Shrewsbury and Burton we have lost too....

Connell at HT maybe. Not sure who you'd take off though

Murray at a guess

Murray

Also very good coming off the bench,in fact probably better than when he starts.

Maybe that's the master plan, although I'm not sure that going 2-0 down was part of it.

Yes, it's unlikely to be Benson.  Murray and Connell are probably too similar to play together.

If ever there's another opportunity to show your worth in the big games Alan, it's today my son!  Would love to see him come on and get a hat trick!

I think it was. Paolo loves the drama.

He'll come on for the big push in the last half hour.  Our fitness + Oxford being a man down means that we'll get our best chance to take the game then..

sick of it.

Yeah it's all part of the plan. Win from 2-0 down and take the piss.

Karl Pilkington?

 :D

an exchange of seats, coins and bottles in the stands according to twitter

Fuck's sake. Frustrating.

Right, that's enough fucking around Town, time to score some goals.

Doesn't sound like we are on the verge of turning this around.

PdC half-time talk please..

sounds a bit silly now. richie fighting the ball boy???

Ritchie yellow. Phew not a red

Sounds like the ball boys are taking the piss a bit...

rooney did earlier as well i think

Fucking disgusting from Oxford.

Even the wanker Oxford commentators are saying the ball boys are being stupid.

WTF

Out doing a pc job at the mo, it's because I left my lucky Town hat at home, fuckity fuck

John Sitton team talk coming right up.

WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT COME HOME IMMEDIATELY

I dont think ive heard benson mentioned?

I assume he's being marked by Duberry.   Maybe we should take Benson off to free up Duberry to score an OG

h/t

3 goals in the second half it is then. :cry:

Well its not suprising really,just a small RAF town in Oxfordshire renown for cold temperatures at night

Oh dear.

In a horrible and depressing 45 minutes, that's made me smile again. :D

Murry off connell on is a must now

Let us see what the second half brings...

Fucking joey inbred beachamp is on now argggggggggghh

Sounds pretty horrible for the Swindon fans in terms of coaches being pelted etc.  Will be even worse on the way home if we don't turn this around  :(

2nd half battering then

"Bring your mates, bring your dinner!!"

I am so pissed off with this biased commentary that I have just fired off an email complaint about it to bbc.  

Best case scenario we make a comeback and get a point or 3.

Worst case scenario we are still top of the league with a game in hand tonight

It aint the end of the world

Its the BBC oxford feed, thats why its biased

Just going from the stats we have played ok, but Football is ultimately about putting the ball in the net and we just haven't done it. (12 shots, only 4 on target to their 4 shots, 3 on target).

I really believe that if we can get one we will score again.

Paolo has been right more times than not this season with his half time team talk & subs, we just have to believe that he can somehow do it again.

Hate to lose to these...BUT i just want out of this league and though a win today would have been ace, i do like my cake without icing sometimes.

COME ON TOWN

haha you knobhead :)

Hope Flint was right "The boys will get a rocket up their arse at half time"

COYR

Come on town! Let's get something

So, what's everyobody doing at their end to try and turn things around?

I've switched from my bad luck radio to a different one and also tied my hair back, which is how I usually wear it when watching football!

what do you hope to achieve?

'

I had a poo

Come on

how many times has the commentator said "squirts one out"

So did I

i was listening to it on 5 live but couldnt take it no more, im back on bbc wilts,
can we draw this please :cry:

First half just sounded like oxford wanted this more than us - Fair play.

Att: 11, 825 (1266 away)

Why are we still not passing properly?  Possession is useless if the passing is shite!

Didn't sound like that to me.

Sounds like something they'd get arrested for if they were to do such a thing while commentating on a football match ... filth.

I am eating some Lardy Cake to try and get some Wiltshire vibe into the day.....no radio and i bet it is like a morgue at the County Ground......at this stage i am glad to be at home.

Come on Town.

Edit....no sell out then :hmmm:

Scared the shit out of me on STFC player, MCORMACK out of nowhere...

I am getting so fucking sick of the commentator's voice going up and getting all excited and then it tails off again as the ball goes over the bar/past the post/defender get's his foot in....


FUCK OFF!!!!!! :crash:

Can still only hear Town fans singing..

Less chatting more fucking commentating.

Hearing Wes Fojingham is wearing a bit thin now.

Have you been out for fag yet, if not can you fuck off out & have one ;)

Table still looks pretty good despite the potential defeat

Was just thinking the same.

If things don't change within the next 5 minutes, Connell needs to be brought on.

I don't smoke and I almost want a cigarette.  A shisha pipe would go down quite well right now!

And don't fucking come back until we've scored. Three.

I've switched the radio off and gone down the pub. Couldn't resist having a look at this on tapatalk. Come on you reds.

Bouncing back against Dagenham & Redbridge would be an absolute must... If it stays this way.

FFS Rooney - selfish cunt!

rooney you cunt

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

ROONEY YOU CUNT!!!!

What happened?

Only a matter of time before we score

Now Cox is going to come on - sorry, but what's he going to bring to the game and who's going off?

We need a goal NOW!!!!

COME ON TOWN!!

Rooney went for goal when Benson was unmarked.

Can't hear Oxford at all on the radio  ::)

Boo hiss.

This is unbearable.

He just needed to pass to Benson for a simple tap in.  Instead he tried to shoot from a tight angle and hit the side netting.

Smith off
Cox on

We sound all over them at the moment, but they are defending well.

Smith subbed for Cox (Subbing a sub?)

Smith off & Cox on ?

Time for Cox to make himself a hero

Cox for smith?

Listen to the Oxford United supporters? First time ive heard the cunts

Sorry Paolo, but that's a joke substitution.

Only 1 sub left now.

So will it be Connell or Bodin for Murray?

Bizarre. Why not bring Cox on in the first place?

Cue Cox hatrick : )

Exactly - complete waste of a substitution and Smith must be feeling pretty shite as well.

Top of the league and still people are bitching. Get a grip for fuck sake.

Cmon. Lets get Connell on. Only 30 mins left to get 3 goals.

Corner.....

bodin to come on..

I want to win 11 games in a row, not 10. Not good enough

Can't beat that record of 14 then  :(

Come on 3 goals is doable. They did 2 in 2 minutes.

It's not bitching. Just pointing out, on the face it, a somewhat puzzling substitution. Get a grip ;)

your far enough away to avoid the up and coming piss taking :(

No Connel?  :cry:

Looks like Bodin coming on & not Connell, another odd choice.

Murray off and Bodin on.

Wonder what Connell is thinking?

Interesting sub, wouldnt of thought bodin would have been on in front of connell!

I haven't got the heart to post anything other than this.

This is infuriating :crash:

Criticizing Paolo's subs, i despair.

He has barely made a bad substitution all season, some people just like a good moan.

whats the biggest number you can think of?

One goal for us could see them panic, come on town!

Fucking bullshit bullshit bullshit. Get a goal.

2 would be big enough for me.

Fuck me, it's just putting forward an opinion - it's not fucking moaning  ::)

yes please

You are right his subs have usually been excellent, but none the less these do seem a bit odd.

Waste of a corner  :(

Come on chaps... We need to unite in order to fend off the coming surge of Oxford visitors ;)

So, my son has just returned from his grandparents wearing his Arsenal shirt!  Question from me - why isn't he wearing his Swindon shirt, which was in his case?  Answer from my mum - he split tea down it and it's in the wash.  FFS - doesn't she understand the importance of it all?!

Bodin instead of Connell? - Di Canio's substitutions today have been a bit strange to say the least.  Connell seems to be out in the cold a bit again and personally I think he was the man for the occasion today.

I can't see a goal coming to be honest.

Ferry sounding our best player so far

How long left?

You can't say that - bad Posh Red :no:

Its all over

Isnt the whole point of a football forum to debate and discuss things to do with football? i.e subs?

Another defensive move now by oxford

It's NOT ALL OVER

COME ON TOWN, lets put the ball in the fucking net

One goal now, quickly.

Sorry

cunt

For the umpteenth time today.......aaaaaaaaaaaaagggggggghhhhhhh!!!! :crash:

ARGH.

We don't sound to have any 'quality' in front of goal.

If we score one, I can see us scoring more. However, it doesn't sound as if we'll get the first.

Crowd sounds v quiet now.

I fucking hate early kick-offs.

ARGH

ARGH

This commentators are shit. I have no idea what is happening.

 Were never going to score are we this is ridiculous. :cry:

Can I just add  ARGH

Hate to say it, but this one sounds like its petering out now. Prove me wrong swindon.

Yeah, they don't commentate on the football........ twats

Nice rendition of we are top of the league

Agree on both counts.

:nod:

ARHAGHASDDGAHSEGTIAHSEGIH

I'm starting to think we may not win.

Nothing is happening. We keep running at defenders and getting tackled.

Well the commentator says 'we're due to score'

Fuck sake just score argggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 :gay:

How many free kicks have we had now? Cibocchi would be loving this second half.

Or indeed draw :(

Commentate on what's happening you useless cunts.

The Oxford support is fucking shite - they should be ashamed really.  2-0 up against their bitterst rivals abd they can't even manage a decent song - pathetic!

The commentator can't fucking say 'referee you are having a laugh'. Disgraceful

Ritchie you cunt

Ritchie wastes a free kick

12 mins left

We seem to have been a bit wasteful with our set pieces.

Ritchie. You. Cunt.

Yes I called Ritchie a cunt......get over it.

Ciobocchi would have scored one of the ten free kicks we've had.

I wonder what was said at half-time, as it doesn't seem to have made a shred of difference.  We've sounded pretty crap to be honest.

this is going to hurt so much more than August, everything came too early in August but today is on the back of a 10 game winning run.

It sounds like we could play until cunting midnight without scoring.

I called him a cunt first, back off.

Foderingham on loan from Palace?

Clueless.

I'm glad we made it to ten. That's a great achievement.

TWATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Stupid Oxford defenders :crash:

We went 10 games unbeaten in the league before losing at Torquay.
We have won 10 league games on the spin before today.

If we can go 10 games unbeaten after today again & secure promotion today will just be an irritation at the end of the season.

every time we have a chance theres a last ditch tackle or a great block or a great save. I bet paolo is eager as hell to sign this new striker now.

Not happening today is it?  I'm throwing in the towel at this point and conceding defeat - sorry folks!

All their players seem to be cramping/tiring.

Perhaps we can score 3 goals in the last 10.

Is thetownend.com due for essential maintainence at 2pm for a week or so?

 Cant believe connell wasnt brought on crazy subs by di canio. :badmood:

One of those days im afraid

Just doesn't look like we are going to score, even fucking Duberry hasn't managed to score an OG :(

Totaly agree.  I haven't even heard Bodin's name mentioned.  Perhaps he got the nod as he scored for the U21s? 

PDC has one eye on Dag & Red ;)

Paolo's post match interview will be interesting.

To be fair to the players they seem to have kept going so I don't think he will go off on one too much.

Well their players seem to be dying. Cup-final for them I guess.

I'm off.  See you in a week.

3 mins to go

This is Paolo, he went apeshit after we won 2-0 so will be interesting to hear what he says today.

19 shots to their 4 and we cant score. Not our day at the office so far

I wouldn't go loco if I were PDC.

He needs to pick them up.

'Smaller away support here'.

No fucking shit, that's all we were allocated.

The bloke is a class A cunt.

Think I'll be following suit

Oxford announcer shouting Thank you for your support - what fucking support?

Really disappointing - 6 points to the fucking scum.  Off all the games to run out of steam.  I'd have rather lost on Tuesday to D&R to be honest.  Will be interesting to see what team Di Canio starts on Tuesday night?

What a fucking numpty.

Rather be top of the league than be in Oxfords position.

5 mins to score 3 goals. Hmm

"We are top of the league, say we are top of the league!!!"  :clap:

I have the same question that i always have. WTF has Connell got to do to get a run in the side?

says it all when their keeper gets MOM

Not surprisingly their keeper in MOTM.

Just one of those days I'm afraid, just made all the worse because it's against them.

Well, its not the end of the world. We are still top of the league and have some very important games coming up, notably cheltenham at home. The players need to dust themselves down and pick themselves up. One defeat in 11 games isn't a disaster by any stretch of the imagination. Roll on D&R.

"blotch (sic) on the copybook"

'E I E I E I O' from the Pox fans? Dont make me laugh  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

We really, really need to wipe the floor with D&R on Tuesday. Failing that, a scrappy 1-0.

He's not been at his best the last couple of games, but Di Canio has really been laying into him from the sidelines, which hasn't helped.

Far be it for me to question Di Canio and it may not have made any difference, but I personally think he's made a complete hash of his substitutions today.

I have to say I'm worried about Cheltenham at home next week as well, they're our bogey team.

So who's the striker we're trying to get? Any guesses?

Well that was embarrassing.

Fair play to the town fans that went, 1'200 oustinging 10'000

our recent run counts for nothing at this moment in time for me. fucking livid

Yes we're top of the league but doesn't changed the fact I'm thoroughly p*ssed off at that defeat.

Losing to the scummers is bad enough but against ten men makes it even worse.

See you Tuesday.

Bad day at the office for players and manager.

Fair play to Oxford,great double over us though it hurts me to say it...in fact i hope they go up so we get a quick chance of revenge.
But let us not take our eye off the ball.....it has been a great season so far and it will get better.
Let us not forget that PDC has only managed around 40 odd games and he will learn.

UP THE TOWN.

This, especially as he's our joint top scorer

Great away support in fairness.

Fuck them, move on to Tuesday! We will have the last laugh

Oxford have done us twice. I can't and won't argue with that. I'm in Newcastle so it's okay for me to hide from this.

Promotion will soften the blow of these 6 dropped points.

Onwards...

Fair play to Oxford, went down to 10 men and defended for their lives and won the game.

Not overly concerned with the defeat, fully expect us to win next 2 games and win the league

Lets hope the boys are disapointed and bounce back stronger

That's how I feel as well to be honest MR.  It was bad enough in August, today is 10 times worse esecially since they were down to 10 for the best of the game!  

What on earth went wrong, we just sounded worn out and all over the place?

Agreed - bad day at the office but we're still top of the league.

Fucking bollockity fucking bollocks

Still let's hope it's just a blip

Commentators saying that Oxford fans would rather win this game than go up?

Fuck that. I want to go up.

It's hard to tell when you only have the commentary to go on but it sounded to me like we actually played reasonably well but fucked it up with 5 minutes of madness.

The opening lyrics to this sum up my thoughts exactly >:(

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtuVBPwzstM

There's no way an Oxford fan would want to see us go up and say "Fleetwood away next season is worth it because we beat Swindon".

Precisely

Defiance in defeat....stfc fans at their best

It looks to me like Di canio looks for an excuse not to play him when it should be vice versa imo.
Been like it all season.

To be honest, I've thought we haven't sounded that great in the last few games. There seem to have been lots of comments about playing badly and still winning. Sounds today as if we didn't have a spark and didn't have any firepower up front.

Sounded like we played fairly well but simply couldn't put it in the net.

I too would have brought Connell on.

Summed up well by the fan on the radio, Lost the batte but we'll win the war.

Totally agree Arriba.  He also seems to have a bit of an issue with Smith (as proved again today) and at times Ferry.  Pisses me off to be honest.

Connell was piss poor in the week v Burton.....and could count himself lucky to be on the bench at all today in my opinion,has his moments for sure.......good player he maybe but our savior? :no:

It's done now.

Hopefully some of our other promotion rivals will drop points today.

Two home games coming up, by 1700hrs next week today's monstrosity could be a distant(ish) memory.

Some of our fans are utter knob heads

Why?

think he's referring to comments on the radio

he takes chances,others squandered them today. The fella has never had a run of games and has scored some vital goals despite that.

Connell has been missing sitters all season long.

I'd have put Bodin on - bit of pace, local lad and on a high after scoring for the under 21s.

Agreed. Those swearing at the players are a disgrace! Caddis pointed to them and shook his finger, then pointed to us and clapped.

Some of the comments on the radio r fucking shocking we r top of the league we r going up in paolo we trust : :smugfu::Oh yeah we r also going to wembley  :D

WHAT?! fucking wankers

They need a good fucking hiding. They're not supporters at all.

They were when they were queuing at stupid o'clock to get a ticket :)

I'm pissed off as much as the next fan. Like its already been said, we lost the game in 5 minutes of sheer madness.

We've always had a history of a few fuckwits, and that won't ever change!!

I think there are going to be quite a few regretable comments made today but we and the team will rise above it.

I just hope the score today results in a hiding for John Still's boys on Tuesday night.

why the fuck did he play cibbochi and not kennedy, at leicester he was at fault for there opening goal and was always our weak link in my opinion, i am fucking pissed off, but did half suspect this might happen, but not with 10 men, like you all i am truelly gutted, lets hope its a blip and focus the minds for the goal of winning this piss pot league

Or when they were getting someone else to do it for them ;)

Well no, that's negated by them swearing at the players. By definition, swearing at them is not supporting them.

I'm going to to and buy some alcohol now.

:)

Gutted. Back to August defending for 5 stupid minutes.

After that you have to give Oxford credit, they totally packed the goal and defended well, we struggled to break them down and looked a bit at a loss at times.

Not overly impressed with Paolo's substitutions, but that's subjective.

Not a total loss, some scamps have apparently flooded the away end :)

This result will mean nothing if we go up. Forget about it, let Oxford have their moment and get back on track Tuesday.

You better keep your head down, as I'm sure it will be your fault ;)

just looked at bbc stats, 5 yelllows 1 red 9 shots on target and their keeper mom.
no biggy were still win league.

Plus, why have him on the bench in the first place? What possible scenario would have seen him being used, if he wasn't utilized in that situation?

How did their keeper get MOTM?! Duberry had Benson in his back pocket and won everything!

Benson and Ritchie very disappointing today

I'm going in to Battle with you my friend.

[url width=449 height=299]http://d.yimg.com/i/ng/sp/empics/20100530/23/2934051466-30052010230941.jpg[/url]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbsuAbTTsV8&feature=related

benson never came short for the ball, our balls were long and hopeless (tee hee) and no one from midfield broke through their midfield line. what a bollocks saturday

Spot on!

As much as it pains me to say it, Duberry as at the CG back in August was outstanding.

Now if he rather than Constable had been sent off ..... We may have had a different result!

Sir SWS out?

Oxford fans just want to win these games more than us, it's natural for the underdogs (smaller clubs)  to have more desire to win. Unfortunately for us

Paolo:
- Dominated to begin with but didnt score
- Players sad at the moment
- Dont like to see players give up
- Created several clear cut chances but didnt put them away
- Players not ready to play this type of game
- Doesnt mean that they are a bad team
- 3 crazy minutes that unfortunately happened against Oxford
- To win a war you have to go through 46 battles. We've lost one
- Started very well, but something happened in the players brain. Paolo has gone through it himself when playing Man Utd, where all of a sudden he felt he couldnt do anything
- Expects more from his top players. They didnt perform well today
- Didnt believe that they could come back into the game
- Suffered with a little mental fatigue.
- After 5 mins Town should have been 3-0 up
- Cibbocchi made '2 silly...STUPID...school boy mistakes'
- Wes, who has been one of the best players in the last couple of months, appeared unsure in the box
- Over 2 games we have only score 1 out of 14-15 chances
- Constable sending off: Didn't see it, but if he used his elbows then it was justified
- Disappointed by second half effort
- Happy to play on Tuesday in order to put defeat behind them quickly
- Wants to see how the players will respond. Not worried, unless they panic on Tuesday, where they need to perform in order to deserve to stay on top
- Said to fans at the end not to worry and not to feel too bad as we are still top of the league. In summary, you win some you lose some. Focus on the long term strategy of getting promotion

Boooo! Di Canio out. Can't even beat Poxfords ten me.

Oh! Hang on a minute. Top of the league. Ten straight wins since Christmas. Maybe I'm being too hasty here. :D

I was thinking yesterday how this is exactly the type of game where we're really going to miss Flint.  Not just for his towering presence in our box but also for his towering presence in their box.  Just what you need when you're struggling to break a poor side down.

Caddis:
- Performance was poor
- Made lots of chance in first half butt ruined it by a poor 5 mins
- Hard to get back after 2-0 down
- Didnt think there was anything malicious about Constable elbow
- Had lots of possession but lacked the desire they normally have
- Look at bigger picture.
- Saturday and Tuesday games was no excuse for defeat. Didn't look tired, but just ran out of ideas
- Disappointed with defeat. Will analyse tomorrow and hopefully put it behind them on Tueday.
- Will be able to put the defeat behind them if we win the league

Wise words from caddy. I'm glad we have a game on Tuesday to put things right

Started a fire in the bogs aswell according to twitter

What sad pathetic individual would do such a thing? I despair sometimes.

No idea luc

Shrewsbury one up.

I can confirm that by the smoke and smell that was coming out of there.

Northampton ahead at Cheltenham.

Good day for Shrews thus far.

Could be top v bottom on tues

... and Crewe equalise against Shrewsbury.

The day certainly would turn out better if those directly below us drop points.

Cheltenham 0-2 Northampton

Nice and balanced from Paolo, not at all OTT. I had been slightly concerned before hand that it might be but that was not the case. What I wanted to hear really. I liked the sound of what he did at the end as well when he applauded the Town fans and pointed up for Swindon and down for Oxford i.e. looking at the bigger picture. This is what it's all about right now.

Lovely :clap:

Have to say that Oxford defended superbly for 80 minutes. Their keeper had a stormer too. Benson never got into the game.

It hurts (a lot) to lose to them twice in one season, but there will be far bigger games before this season is out.

It reminded me a lot of the playoff defeat to Millwall. All huff and no puff. I just hope we can do the business at Wembley.

I think we had a lot more about us today than against Millwall. We had plenty of chances in the first half, and had plenty of ball in the second.

Agree otherwise. IF we can win Tuesday that puts us firmly back on track.

Gutted after the loss today, but seeing this has made me feel a bit better so far. Especially as I have a chelt supporting mate who ripped into me for our loss today and thought that now was cheltenhams chance to storm past us. Take that you stupid cunt

Sir SWS is a charlatan.

Ben Tozer scored the first too.

I see the pox raise the their game against the big boys, typical tinpot non league minnows mentality  :)

Gutted, the 5 minutes after the Constable sending off costs us. I didn't even seen the first two goals I was ducking out of the way from the constant chairs, bottles and coins being lobbed by the Oxford fans next to us. We should of should 4 or 5 but their goalkeeper won the game for them, collected everything and saved everything, fair play Oxford you sat back and defended well, also the stupid Oxford flag was quite embarrasing.

Need to bounce back agaisnt D&R now, a nice thumping would be nice.

Disappointed with the result, it sounded like we played well but couldn't finish the chances we created.

Just a bad day at the office, we're still top of the league, hopefully some results will go our way today aswell.

We'll get up, dust ourselves and go again, Tuesday will be massive and I'm sure we'll put things right.

Worryingly we looked lethargic and had no ideas. Poxford game plan pretty simple keep breaking up play with copious fouls and stay behind ball 10 men down. We never looked like scoring though. A bad day at the office.

How sad though that Poxford are so desperate they even sing praises of the ball boy who took his time in first half.

Trouble as well in North Stand, seats and flares chucked about. Toilets damaged so away end flooded at end.

Bit of a ramble this, posting via phone in pub

Southend winning.

The table actually looks alright all things considered

Pikeys and Vale winning as well. Keeping the pressure on the Pox. Makes their win even more worthless in table terms.

Dag & Red winning.

Monday night : Southend v Crawley

Substitutes:

Smith on: Juggling about to get Cibocchi off

Cox on, J Smith off: We can owe our league position in part to the substitutes that PDC has made and the fact he isn't afraid to take off a player that isn't doing what is wanted. If PDC perceives that J Smith wasn't doing what PDC wants then PDC will fix it and one of the brief moments of actual commentary from today mentioned how Cox seemed to give us more in attack than Smith did. We've been praising PDC for his willingness to make changes all season and it would be idiotic to criticise him for it now.

Bodin on: I like Connell myself. Really I do. However, he has been missing sitters all season long and I remember commenting a while ago that he cannot complain if he is dropped (after missing yet more sitters). He has been given chances in the squad yet hasn't taken them. He doesn't seem to perform well when given starts. Yes, he does pop up with some important goals which makes everybody (understandably) want him to play but that is just papering over the cracks. I also remember reading the washbag article which details how Connell doesn't seem to 'attack' enough for a striker. A good player yes, but being a good player alone won't deliver the goals.

I'm no fan of Murray, but he does seem to be a live-wire and could cause problems. Bodin is also a bit of a live-wire and when playing against two banks of four you need somebody that has a bit of trickery and can do the unexpected. Connell isn't that type of player. As much as Connell may be a fans favourite I can see why he may have thought Bodin was a better option for this match.

We may never know, but there's every possibility that although we lost today PDC still made the best possible substitutions he could. To question his judgement in a loss in a derby match after a 10 match winning streak is frankly a tad short sighted.

Southend now 2-0 up.

Cheltenham score, 1-2.

Hmm just saw this.  I expect Cheltenham will manage to turn it around completely now?

Torquay beating Creepy 1-0

Torquay beating Crawley.

Crawley losing

Crawley 0 Torquay 1

Crawley 0 Torquay 1

Take That Fat Boy !!!

Would really like to seen Martin Ling and Shaun Taylor go up, as long as it isn't at our expense...

Im syre crawley have been the better side with there slick passing game.

They could well end up managing us one day

On current form, they'll be lucky to make the play-offs...

There will have been a 'gulf in class' between the teams according to the fat Bobby Davro - there always is  ::)

As it stands we're still top, 4 points clear, game in hand and with a better goal difference of ten.

It could be worse..

Cheltenham level.

FT: Cheltenham 2-2 Northampton
FT: Crewe 1-1 Shrewsbury

That's ok.

I flamin knew they would.  

That takes the sting out of today a tad

Without a doubt. Crawley have lost too.

Todays other results help us to forget Oxford! Southend the only ones winning. Crawley losing was important, and for the others to only draw is great. Role on 6 points from next two home games!

Lost to Torquay meaning Crawley drop to 6th :D

If we win our game in hand we're six points clear.

Tuesday is a must, must win.

Just got back. I don't think that could have been any worse really - I had a seat next to the black netting and had a few coins (£3.50 thanks very much) and a couple of bottles just miss my head. Got a migraine on the way home and could only see out of one eye (not good when you're driving!).

The biggest difference between the two sides was heart. Yes, we had the skill but with no heart or conviction we wouldn't have scored if we'd been there all night. Oxford will lose the next 3 without Cuntstable so I'm not worried about them. I'll be glad to see the back of them for the next 10 years or so.

I'm going for a lye down  :(

Missed plenty of good chances, our wing play was missing but results have been kind. Onwards and upwards

All in all no real damage done today. We could have played until midnight and not scored today. Duberry was a rock for them and our final ball was complete shite today. Our decision making up front was bad today, Rooney being the worst culprit but he's young. I think we have to write today off as a bad day at the office but to be fair to the Scum fuckers, they defended bloody well. The stats showed we had 20 shots but their keeper has not made any difficult saves.
A win on Tuesday will put things back on track. I'm sick to the stomach with losing today against those piss stains giving each other a high six but I suppose if you'd offered me promotion but we'd lose to them twice, i'd have probably taken it.
On the more positive side, Phil King and Charly Henry were good fun in the Members Suite and I met the legend that is Ralphy ( Walsall away ), Chrissy and an old mate from the minibuses in the 80s.  
Now for some beer to drown the sorrows and a look at the table if I get too downbeat.
A shit day but its still ace being a Town fan

You saw pete then?

Yep was watching with us Tans

@melvinlutherkin is back on twitter.

Feel free to abuse that cunt

Yes, was stood with him at the back watching the game reminiscing over the times when we used to beat the bastards - the 70's, 80's and 90's. Unusually we were both sober, which could not be said of games we watched funnilly enough in the 70's, 80's and 90's.

Got home about an hour ago, I wasn't allowed back in the house without burning my clothes and washing with Bleach.
It truly is a shit hole I'm glad I'm home. We were sat near the Pox segregation zone. The only good things that happened today were:
*Me and my bro walking from Botley to shitty center (If I was Eric I'd say we took the city center) The only yellow I saw was Police high-viz. then got the No.5 bus to Blackbird Leys, not one Pox fan got on till we got to Temple Cowley (Which is a dump on the outskirts). Only a handful more got aboard. Then it got horrible when we when over the bridge to Beirut Leys, toothless inbred country. It was like Ross Kemp on Pox getting to the Three sided dump. :smugfu:
*Laughing at the scum when Cuntstubble was sent off.
*Goading their fans, to the point where they ripped their own seats out. (apparently injured one of ours tho, twats). they get wound up so easily. Most of their fans look like plastic Primark thugs.
*when Paolo came over to appease us for the less than satisfactory performance.

Lots of sad sights, like a semi-respectable father, mother and son abusing our bus on the way out,
another saggy titted woman whos son took a Police Horse shoe to the face giving us stick outside the ground. Stay classy Poxford!
One of the buses taking our lot to the station got raided behind us, thank god we didnt get on that one.
A lot of Police and stewarding was inept today although in general they got what they wanted.

I saw chalkiesshorts but remained anonymous  :ph34r:

Managed to get a ticket at the end and left and left calne at 11am.

Got in the ground just as they scored the second......

Enjoyed the game strangely but disappointed that we didn't stretch them more at the back....the miss at the end summed us up....we could still be out there now and not score.

Goals win games and not possession....

PDC at the end was quality............I feltvlike we had won!!

Roll on daggers and hopefully another three points towards the title.

Oh yeah....got a parking ticket....cunts!

Onwards

I'm a bit difficult to miss.

there will be fair amount of that going on in Scumland tonight

That was the first time since the 8th October that we have conceded more than one goal in a league game [url width=150 height=180]http://www.availableforpanto.com/statto.bmp[/url]

Fucking ipad

Did you eat your tomatoes?

Good going :nod:

There was a women of about 50 who had a deep cut to her head from that thrown seat. I also had to shield the little'un from a smoke bomb that was thrown into our supports. Absolute fucking wasters. Watch the football you cunts. If you want a fight stick them in an enclosed space and let them have it amongst themselves, last man standing. Although I would imagine you don't get injured by waving your arms and gesturing at one another!

3 points clear with a game in hand.
13 points clear of our friends down the road.

Results from everywhere else have definately softened the blow of the defeat earlier on!

Oh and Gillingham's away support at Plymouth today was fucking horrific and fat bald cunt shouting abuse at me in my Town shirt playing footie made my day, fucking pikey.

I feel rough as arseholes. Caught some virus that my mate Pete described as yellow fever. The heating is turned up to 27 c and I'm shivering to death. Chalkies Shorts is a gent ! In other news, Charlie Henry likes a beer !

Not been back long.

Disappointing to lose to them again but we are still in a great position. Other results went for us so the damage really was minimal. Fair play to them, they defended well for 80 minutes and we couldn't break them down.

I was feeling really down after the game and then Paolo came over to the Town fans and really got them going again, I absolutley love his passion. He was pointing at the Pox fans and then pointing down, then pointing to us and pointing up  :)

The pox fans really are utter scum, not only were they awful and got out sung by 1200 but they were throwing seats, bottles, coins and fuck knows what else.

Obviously i'm dissapointed, but with other results, it really isn't a big deal. We were always likely to lose again before then end of the season, it was a shame it was against them but oh well, onwards and upwards.

To my mind Connell's strength is his hold up play rather than being an all out attacker. The goals are a bonus.
Now if we had someone with pace with an eye for goal we'd be laughing

All things considered with the other results today, not too much damage done

Connell has alot to his game,a good all rounder imo. Impressed me from the first time i saw him play.
 I'm baffled as to why he plays then gets dropped all the time without any reason i can see.

Connell would've been ineffective today purely because fucking duberry was having a stormer. We need to get around the back of them but failed to do that unfortunately.

What annoyed me today were the moaners. Moan fucking moan. We've lost one in god knows how many?! Yes it was against oxford but saturdays game against Cheltenham is much more important as far as the season goes.

He misses too many sitters. Lots.

Yes, he offers more in that he can hold the ball up well but in a game like today's you don't need somebody to hold up the ball. The ball's already there. You don't want the ball held up in front of defence you want the ball penetrating the defence, getting behind the defence. That's not what Alan Connell does, but it is something that Billy Bodin can do. Pace and trickery.

Horses for courses.

Little bit pissed now after shocking day when:

(a) my team didn't turn up for a local derby; and
(b) had to take my little one to A&E after getting a bump on his head.  (He's fine.)

Whilst gutted, I just want to say:

(c) the beer that our friends visiting this weekend from Swindon brought along is delicious (it's from the place that used to be the Archer's brewery near Rodbourne), apparently, now a micro brewery...you lot will know what it's called;
(d) thanks to all the other sides at the top for sweetening the pill of defeat: Chelts, Crawley, Shrews...you did us proud; and
(e) I still fucking love you, Swindon.

Just because you got bashed about a bit by a munter/harridan called Oxford today, it doesn't make you any less beautiful to me.

perhaps the scum could put all those spare seats behind the goal and make a 4th stand? tools  :wink:

flashheart, you are the latest incarnation of Bangkok Red yes?

Did the Swindon team bus get attacked or is that just a bullshit rumour?

The latest incarnation, yes! Yes I am Sir

Enough said about their fans but when you have 200 odd coppers stood in their section and fuck all in ours it says one thing really.

We just didn't turn up and I would like to thank Paolo for coming over and apologising and making the bigger picture and although we lost both games we were by far the better team in both and our league position shows this.

BTW the left side, right side thing the announcer did before the game was an embarrassment.

in the nicest, least confrontational way, how do you know connell misses lots of chances?xx

Back after drowning my sorrows down the Harvester.

Was pretty much similar to the game back in August in that, during a short spell, poor defending from balls into the box and set pieces cost us. We dominated possession but lacked the proverbial cutting edge up front and were frustratingly Arsenal-esque in trying to walk the ball into the back of the net, rather than playing simple balls.

I love the passion and desire Paolo instills in this side but today we lacked any of that desire. We didn't chase the second balls down, gave the scum too much time on the ball and were pretty toothless up front.

Constable's sending off happened right in front of us and I think he had to go. Sure, Devera was all over him, but using your elbow is a red card offence whether you like it or not.

Overall, not a great first trip to that shithole, but today could've been a whole lot worse, with results going pretty well regarding us. We must get back on track on Tuesday though.

Because I remember them well from the commentary. Not just from the radio but also from the matchday threads.

He did have a run in the team when there were injuries and he spurned chance after chance. He didn't take his chance and when other players were back, they took his place. I remember well saying this to JJ at the time it was happening. There was even a big discussion about it between the commentary team about why it was. Perhaps a lack of confidence?

Then he pops up with a couple of goals, gets a start and continues to miss the easy goals.

Bit surprised at some of the comments on here, I know people are trying to not get to down about it all but 'no damage done today', wtf. We've just lost home and away to the scum and no damage has been done?  That says a lot about the way we view this derby. One side get their heart and soul into it, and the other (us) just think we have to turn up to win.

I've been seething all afternoon, sounds strange but those tossers who played today, especially the ones who played in August, should be holding their heads in shame.

Top of the table and for today I lost a bit of respect for our lot. I know it sounds stupid but that's the way I feel. Wembley feels like a nothing match in comparison today, and promotion is the least they can do to makes amends. Even if we win the title at this moment in time I feel it'd be slightly tarnished by the two defeats to them.

Good job time's a healer, cos at the moment OUFC deserve the credit and have made our lot look likes mugs, 10 men and lost 2-0.

I remember he missed a few against Wimbledon.

On a side note - I'm not going to go through the thread so could someone post a quick summery of the Matt Ritchie ball boy incident.

I've read everything from he tried to take the ball back, to he assaulted him, to he kicked him in the face, to he raped him.

Connell does seem to have more of an impact when he comes off the bench.  As does Murray if we're honest.

Its an area PDC will have to address in the summer.

Its so deflating and devestating losing that game, but Paolo's post match show of passion raving the fans up soon ended that feeling and instilled alot of fan unity and passion in the stands.

Had we played a quicker tempo today and stopped fannying about with the ball at the back, allowing oxford to get back to their defensive positions, we may well of scored, but hey ho, we are still top of the league !

Thoughts go out to Rockin Robins mum who got her head smashed in by a ripped up chair being flung at her by an oxford mong

The scum were timewasting from the moment Constable went off. Even the ballboys were at it. From where I was stood, it looked like frustration got to Ritchie and he grabbed the ball back off of the ballboy to place it down for a goalkick. Massive over-reaction from the scum, however.

Just went to get the ball off the ball boy. That was it. End of.

i wonder if the ref had to justify that yellow, it seemed nonsensical

If grown men want bash the shit out of eachother that's up to them, throwing objects indiscriminately into a crowd of people especially where there are woman & children is pure cowardice;
Pox chavs are just like their castrated mascot... No balls

The Ball boy took his time to get the ball back, Ricthie push him and picked the ball up, yellow card.

Must have missed this myself. No more guilty than another striker imho.

There are definitely games he struggles in, like Burton, but at this point in time he is in my opinion more likely to score than bodin or Murray.

This isn't a reaction to today's game, just how I see it. That said 30 out of 33 is a good argument to say Paolo has got it right

Maybe Eric Read could give him a little cuddle and regale him with tales of derring do

:nod:

I agree with you completely. Although i want connell on the park the results have meant that doesn't really matter. Just frustrates me more today with losing.
The fella has a great attitude and seems to just get on with it. If it were me i'd be fuming

I was on my way to our game when the last sub was made on the radio - shocked it wasnt Connell. I'd have had him on for Cibbo after 20 minutes!

Dont see why Murray gets picked over Connell more often than not, really dont rate Murray, he is supposedly Ipswich's best finisher, but if thats the case, I fear for their other strikers :p
Connell does a great job of bringing the best out of others, and he helps out Benson greatly, whereas Murray doesn't really offer anything.

I think today sums up why we need the extra striker. Benson was poor but Duberry made him look poor - he looked fucking knackered today which isn't surprising given the number of games he's played. Murray and Connel both look better coming off the bench - both have played well but also played shit whilst benson has been consistent apart from today. Bodin again is up and down, which as a young player you'd expect. If we could get Steve Howard from Leicester on loan I'd be a very happy man. 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Svx4ZvM3Gc

Ha ha, that kid in the cap in the first part was dragged away by his mum...

Chalkie hit the nail on the head with the word consistency.

Benson is consistent, the rest aren't including Connell. Benson has made it easy for PDC to put his name down first, the rest haven't.

I took Rockin Robin's Mum home after the game. Yes she was hit by a seat and cut her head. Clearly shaken but OK.
I guess hard Man Eric Read will be proud of that and be creaming himself on that result.

Well it hurts getting beat by the scum but we must move on.
Di Canio done us proud at the end and fair play to him.

Thougt we looked a little jaded today but hope an off day. Results were kind as well.

Credit to Poxfords Cental Defence and keeper they played very well.
So back to the wine and the kids.
Just phoned Rockin's Mum and Husband they are both OK.

Anyway Police looking through CCTV and I hope they get the wanker who threw it.

Lets bounce back Tuesday and if we go up and the scum stay down I would accept that.
1,200 outsung the Pox so we Supporters done our bit today and the lads will return the compliment by taking us up.

COYR's

disagree. Connell has had good games then been benched in the next match. Has happend a few times.
How can anyone build up consistency when they are not given the chance to have consistency?

Haha I saw that unfold, was so so funny

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLr7gKBJUSY&feature=player_embedded
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mayIIldsVBw&feature=player_embedded

A scum fan posted these.

What a tone deaf spastic.

We'll have to agree to disagree on this one, joint top scorer says he should be starting. Besides I like the way he plays the game(imo)

The bloke can't even talk properly.

Went to B'mth Poppies v West Auckland Town today in the FA Vase, some of their fans were like that, what mongs, bought a friggin drum as well

They had the last laugh though winning 2-0 which was probably the worst game I have ever paid to watch in my life, ball spent most of the time with snow on it

Ref Ritchie and the Ball Boy...Ritchie went over to him at the end of the match and apologised...and to be fair to the Oxford fans they applauded Ritchie for doing so.
Apparently Ritchie texted Radio Oxford after to apologise again and to the boys parents.
Oxford should take a good look at themselfs if they have instructed these lads to dwell on the matchball,it will always cause friction.
Also Ritchie was very lucky he didn't see red by the accounts i have been told :hmmm:

just watchd the goals, looked like benson had a right go at fodders after their first....

McCormack flew at Chibs for the free kick he gave away and to back Benson Wes should have gone for that ball. He's just shit  ;D

Hold on, hold on. Now this is a genuine question, I'm not having a go or owt. You say 'we didn't turn up' today but you say we were the better team (in both games). How does that work? I'm not saying we did or didn't turn up because I wasn't there. I'm just curious, did we or did we not play well?

Did you go Jan?

No I didn't OST, not sacrificing my time with my daughter to go watch football.

My point re:turning up, wasn't made literally, I meant in Swindon Oxford derbies, ever since I can remember Swindon take the turn up and play role, whilst Oxford always take the turn up and fight (have a go I mean). I honestly don't feel that STFC mentally get themselves right for the derby.

Interestly I always think we then play that role when we take on City though.

Looking at the stats it's obvious we dominated the match, as per August, but that's not what derbies are all about.

Oh well bring on City!

We haven't played well against any of our local rivals this season. Not sure why.

That's fair enough Jan but I don't really think you can say, "One side get their heart and soul into it, and the other (us) just think we have to turn up to win." when you haven't been to the game. I certainly didn't pick that up from the commentary. Don't get me wrong, that statement may well be true but you can't really say it unless you've seen what happened first hand.

If he was sent off then I would've been fuming. Even a yellow was harsh.

Just the way I feel Town always approach the Oxford derby. Whether we win or not, there's only one team who's truly putting their lives on the line (ok I know I'm going OTT there) and it's not us.

Like I say in the Bristol City matches, we seem to take that role no worries.

Did pretty well at Slave Trade Central in the Cup. Also, we've now managed to completely and utterly rodger the Scum ...........and lost both. If we didn't make chances I'd have been more worried. Another day it would have been a 3 or 4 goal fucking on. They defended well and we didn't have the guile on the day to unlock them. 

No need to go over the match enough has been said but what I will add is that those idiots at the end that started a fire in the toilets, flooded the away concourse and then the idiots who was ripping the sign down above the exit - it shames me to call people like this swindon fans - I know we have our idiot fans but to do this to your own fans is pathetic and dangerous and I hope they are caught on CCTV doing anything so they can be identified and made to pay for the damage.

Talking of the slave traders, squeaky bum time for them. Their goal difference puts them at a big disadvantage and they are lucky Pompey imploded again.

I mean we didn't turn up in either game but were the better team overall, that's how shit Oxford are (although they've beaten us twice  ;D), look at the stats from today. There was seemingly no plan today we fell apart all over the pitch but sill managed 20 shot on goal, hit the post and their keeper was MoM FFS.

It's a tough one but I think I'm right in that yes we didn't turn up but we were still dominant.

It cost me an awful lot of time and money to go today - it was either this game or the JPT final at Wembley. Should have known the run would be ended by those twats.

Had to high-tail it back to Heathrow directly after the game but after hearing the other results one thing struck me

We are better off, league wise, by us and Cheltenham losing than if we had drawn and Cheltenham had won (which is what most would have expected).

The Shrews drew, Creepies lost so apart from being mightily pissed off at the moment, long term it don't make a bit of difference.

Just remember

win or lose, shit or bust
never let your bollocks dangle in the dust

How awful.  She sits just in front of us at home games.  Was she okay?

Remember when we stuffed Leeds 3-0 home and away but in the end they went up and we didn't.

Sane will happen this season, we will go up and the scum won't.

Who will be celebrating then?

 :bye:

I fuckin' will

I might be on my own here but .........

Long term I think Ferrys best midfield partner will be McCormack.  Neither Smith or Risser have really made the spot there own and when Flint gets back I wouldnt mind seeing Flint and Devera at the back, with Ferry and McCormack in the centre. 

I just felt at times today when Oxford had the wide areas well under control the threat through the middle was all Ferry or bust. McCormack might have given us that little extra thrust.

Not sure if now Paolo just sees him as a CB and nothing else.

Just wondering about peoples thoughts really.

I think Smith has definitely gone off the boil a bit lately. What you need to remember this is actually his first season in the professional leagues.

Perhaps it has caught up with him a bit? I dont think anyone would have questioned his place next to Ferry say a month back.

My opinions on needing a leader at centre back are well know. Whilst it was early days for the team as a whole Flint and Devera never quite worked there and Alan Mac has been superb in there anyway.

We have lee cox, who I feel is the long term partner for ferry, cox is a cracking player and did help when he came on earlier, great tackler and a better passer than our other centre mids, but lacks their physical prescence

Sometimes in life, you really have to take serious time out to ponder what actually motivates people to act like complete cunts.

I mean, what the fuck was going on in the mind of the mouth-breathing retard who ripped a seat out of his own clubs stadium today, and just randomly lobbed it into a gathering of 1200 opposition fans?

How the fuck can that mutated excuse of a living human organism rationalise the inevitable result of his actions? 

I saw that blue plastic seat flying through the air in apparent slow motion today, and I felt fucking sick, knowing that it was going cause someone serious pain and damage, yet their was fuck all I or anyone else could do to warn of the impending danger.

I'm very pissed off with todays result and performance, but it's fuck all compared to how I feel about the cunt who threw that seat. I would happily glass the cunt.

I hope that innocent STFC lady fan is on the mend tonight and that she isnt too scarred, physically or mentally.

Saw her sat outside when I came in late...looked right fucking dazed.

Fucking cunting shitcunts.

If we win the league by 20 points this season will still be tinged with failure now. Skulled twice by Oxford.

Anyone who says it doesn't matter of we win the league is a liar. It's cunting Oxford.

Fucking hell. Pathetic today Town don't care about the last 10 games, today mattered most.

Macca aint happy!

His comments did make me laugh  :D

They won't if he ends up with a ban.

Did wonder if we were setting ourselves up for a fall going there after 10 in a row.

The game was weird first 20 minutes. Lots happening, but you could barely concentrate for all the stuff getting chucked over. We missed good chances that first 20 minutes (Murray and Rooney spring to mind). Second half just became too simmilar to the game at the County Ground, seemed to weigh on the players minds. Bit lucky Swindon didnt have a mob in the ground otherwise I think there would have been serious disorder. Thought the Ritchie ballboy incident was a load of nothing. Constable, elbow - definate red card.

While I feel sorry for the people who got hit, but I would say Swindon fans need to wake up about what these games are going to be like. Theyve always chucked stuff at us.

Paolo was fantastic at the end. He managed to put a smile on our faces, even in defeat. You never know, if these 2 derby defeats make Paolo think he owes us a bit more, and makes him stay a bit longer it could all be worth it. Tuesday is a massive game. Our crowd will be shit, fans will be quiet, but if we can win that then theres no stopping us. The other teams are starting to falter, they dont have our quality.

It matters now, but if we go up and they stay down I genuinely won't give a fuck about today or August. It will have proven we are better than them.

Not saying we deserved a win, but on another day Murray and Rooney bury their early chances, we score instead of hitting the post, don't fuck up a golden chance at the end and they don't clear off the line from a header. Such are the fine lines of football.

It hurt and I want to dick those cunts, but its not more important nor will it taint my promotion  celebrations if we do it.

Didn't listen to this. Any chance of more detail?

Also forced myself to watch the goals again.

I can see why people say Fodderingham should have come for the first, but I think there is a degree of hindsight in that. The defence looked to have it under control but suddenly the red sea parted, left a space and made Fods look silly.

The second one was a bit of a keystone cops moment.

From twitter...
'Fuckin poxford scum. 1 game doesn't make a season. Well done yous won a game. We r still lookin down on you dirt dags.'

At the end of the day, you have to agree with PdC, that it was three minutes of madness which destroyed it yesterday.  The sending off was supposedly a boost for us, yet there are so many examples of 10 battening down the hatches and getting something out of a game; but then the goals so soon after determined the way the rest of the game would go. 9 yellows in the penalty area for 70+minutes.  the statistics don't lie!  The question is - and its been there the whole season - how do we break down the teams that either just shut up shop of who just hoof it.  Pox ford may have defended well, but they had nothing to offer, any more than Dag & Red or any of the other bottom teams that we lost to earlier in the season.  So that's the challenge - and it will still be there in Lg 1 next season.

Why not just say that you couldn't get a ticket. This makes you sound like a limp wristed fag (in my opinion)

Fuckin hell mate. Don't wish to pick on you but you are digging yourself a hole. We have only played them twice before in the last 10 years but you seem to make it out as though this is a regular occurance.
I was there. We gave it everything, but as been said before it was a bad day at the office. Ritchie's shot that hit the post goes in and we win. We score in the 1st 15 minutes of the 2nd half and we win. It was obvious to anybody there that in the last 15 mins we were never going to score. MOM for me was Paolo. The man is amazing and lifted the spirits of the 1200. How anybody can question anything that the man does is beyond me. I said in September that we would win the league and lose BOTH to the pox. I stand by that statement!

Whilst I admire the sentiments and I like him even more now as a result, if that was on Twitter....oh dear... ::)

Anyone got a vid of what Paolo did infront of the Swindon fans at the end.

I can't see that on Twitter from Alan Mac, so it must have been removed.

Good move :nod:

I wish I had got Paolo on camera at the end. It was fucking marvellous.

Will as likely as not land him in trouble. One of the Scum supporters has taken a screen shot before it was removed and sent it to the FA.

On the topic of their fans the Scum forum is awash with a multitude of posts about yesterdays game, which I suppose is fair enough when you consider that they clearly have a small dick/non league mentality when it comes to STFC. I could understand it more if it was like say Port Vale beating Stoke twice in a season in say the League and FA Cup, but no, we're talking about two fourth division clubs here. Probably down to all those seasons in the pub league giving them a victim mentality.

Well where to start with this one. Bit of a cagey start for both sides as to be expected in these derby games. We needed something early on to settle us and a goal would have been perfect but we missed 2 really good chances. The first was Rooney on the volley. Not an easy one but one that if he connects well it goes in. Second one was a guilt edged chance and there were really no excuses for missing it. Murray got lucky when the keeper kicked it at his back but it turned into a 3 against 1 situation and we still managed to muck it up. Poor stuff really.

Then came the sending off of Constable and this for me changed the game completely and bizzarly not in our favour. The 5 minutes that followed the red card we simply lost the plot. Their threat and game plan with 10 men was always going to be through set pieces. So giving away silly corners and free kicks cheaply was always going to end badly. You simply can't let the ball bounce in the box from a corner. No one attacked the ball for us and it ends up in the net. 1-0.

The second goal is truly shambolic defending. Ball over the top catches us out but by the time their number 23 gathers the ball under control Caddis has caught up with him and we have 3 players back in the box covering. How on earth we allowed him to get a ball across the box is one thing but to allow their player to nip in between 2 defenders is even more criminal. What a truly dreadful goal to concede. 2-0.

We huffed and puffed after that but there was always only going to be one result when we began to run out of ideas. Maybe we'd have got back into the game had Ritchie's shot not hit the post and gone in or if their keeper hadn't have pulled off a few decent saves before half time. The 2nd half was just a drab affair and a repeat of the game back in August where we dominated possession but did nothing with it. Sideways passing followed by no end product and no movement.

Dissapointing display from Town. I guess we were due another defeat following 10 straight wins but to lose to Oxford is the same manner again was very dissapointing. We're still top of the league and still in a very good position. 13 games left now and another run like the one we've just had will see us win the league. All to play for.

Time to move on now then lads, game on Tuesday and then another big one - and in my opinion a season defining one - against Cheltenham on Saturday.  Win both of them and we will be looking very good, Nam won't be easy - our record against them is somewhat suspect to say the least.  Forget the Scum, let's win the next two games!

We had the chances to put the game to bed early in the first half but squandered each one. A few shambolic minutes put us into an awful position. We needed a goal just before HT or an early one in the 2nd half and neither materialised. Pox sat on their 18 yard line and soaked up everything we threw at them - would commend any team for doing it, so gotta give them credit unfortunately.

Paolo at the end managed to stave off the sickening feeling of this result sinking in for a little while, although by the time our coach finally left, the feeling had long since sunk in.

Fuck it, I wanna get some revenge over Dagenham for the last 3 results against them, then it's on to THE big one against Cheltenham.

Someone is away to Shrewsbury on Tuesday night, they'll wipe the smug grins off their faces and bring them down to earth.

Spot on Benz. In 3 weeks time if we've beaten Cheltenham and Torquay and are still top and we lift the JPT yesterday will be long forgotten. I still think we'll win the league to be honest.

yeah, I would much rather have lost the last 10 games & got 3 points against the scummers & watched them get promoted & play in a division above us next season.   :doh:


Get a fucking grip

Some people need to get a grip. We lost a game, yes against Oxford but just look at the league table. I still think we'll have the last laugh at the end of the season.

but we were only allocated 1252 :hmmm:

Quite agree Ralphy, when something happens over there we see that the "yellows forum has gone into meltdown" - I think getting on for 50 pages of the TEF proves we are just as obsessive about them as they are about us.  It's happened, hard to take but move on - please!

Behave. Get a fucking grip.

etc, etc.

Errrrrm

You do know this is a matchday thread?

Got to say, that short journey from the ground entrance to the away end was quite an experience.

The word 'sitting ducks' springs to mind.

Had no problem getting in at all, getting out again was more fun.

What happened to the bus that got stopped in the end?

Our bus was the one that was stationed for what seemed like an eternity as some twat opened the back door which shut down the engine of the bus. The Police were screaming at the driver to move whilst he shouted back that he couldn't.

The Police took them to a field for an hour and a half.

It's been said but come the end of the season we will be proven to be the better team, Oxford won't go up and normality restored.

I would have preferred to be top and have taken 6 points off the scum but we haven't so move on. We were the better team in both games and if they want to gloat then let them have their day in the sun.

One swallow doesn't make a summer.

What was all the bus seats about that littered the road on the way out?

No idea why they kept us all back after the game in the way that they did. What pissed me off is that we were all waiting to get out and crammed in people were understandably getting inpatient and it was getting very squased and boxed in yet when they finally let us out the stewards had cordoned off the area outside the stand and wouldn't let us advance beyond that point so why didn't they just let us out in the first place? Very poorly dealt with.

Was amusing going into the ground though. A lovely bunch of Pox fans outside The Priory pub ready to give any Town fan a warm welcome. Funnier though was the group that gathered on the slope outside the fence end who were clearly there for some "action". None of them obviously had a ticket to the game and some of them had their BMX's with them. One suspect it was a bunch 15 year old kids. 

They were suppose to be on the top deck of the bus.

I don't understand why they kept us all in whilst letting all their twats line the exit? Move them on otherwise its a wasted exercise.

So in summary:

- nothing happened before or after the match
- we lost to the scummers
- we are going up as champions
- scummers are staying down, maybe even after the play offs

Reading twitter it appears people waited an hour for you all to come put tp give you the finger.

The mind boggles, fuck that, i wouldve just gone to the pub!

Why waste valuable drinking time?!

It was pretty fucking funny.

Comp tickets i reckon....i had one in the end...

It didn't affect them, as they weren't old enough to get in the pub

Hahahaha at waiting an hour just to give us some abuse. Well done Lads, a massive pat on the back for wasting your own time.

So, when the dust has settled the only Town fan we know about who had any trouble at Scumland was a 50 year old woman who was hit by a flying seat while she was sat in her seat watching the game.
Fucking hell, old Eric ( aka Walter Mitty ) must be proud - thats one to tell his kids.
I hope the lady concerned is Ok and that the fuckwit actions of a spineless piece of shit doesn't put her off going to matches.
OUFC, you must be proud. I salute you. That'll put a stop to us ever going to the Kassam again - if we can get tickets.

Look at this then.....

http://www.yellowsforum.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=8128

I saw that, wasn't sure if it was a wind up. No mention of it anywhere else

What did Ritchie actually do ?? To me it just looked like a nudge, hardly assualt.

At the end of the game he went to the ball boy shook his hand and said sorry. I very much doubt it he's been arrested. Just Oxford spouting shit.

Isnt as if he chinned the little cunt

The lads behind either goal were all at it - trundling along to pick the ball up, walking most of the distance back to toss the ball to which ever keeper. They knew what they were doing.

I'd hate to think how long our ballboys would take if instructed to delay things, especially some of the ones on the bank.  They are slow enough at the best of times.

As long as it wasn't a fudge nudge he'll be OK!!

if McCormack did write that on Twitter then he must have had a lobotomy recently, bloody daft.

Given the FA's recent treatment of us he'll probably get suspended for the rest of the season

A couple players got done recently for Twatter comments, I can't remember who or the clubs concerned or if their punishment has been announced (I know, not much use really but I'm sure someone knows who they are).

I'm sure that whatever their punishment is, that McCormack's will be at least 3 or 4 times worse.

As he's a Swindon player, I can't see past capital punishment for this.

Ravel Morrison got fined £7000 pounds by the FA for making a gay slur when he joined West Ham through twitter

If he did get done he wont get a ban, it would be a fine
Im sure he will cope.

Hehe fods has been at it aswell.. obviously had some shit from an oxford youth player who has no deleted his account

 wes_foderingham: @SeLFIe_16 'oxford u17 apprentice' all the best finding a job when u get released at the end of the season :)

Thats all part of their homophobia drive.

Im sure the FA will agree that Oxford United fans are scum.

I don't know if the phil smith account is real but he tweeted something about the Newcastle game and how it had more elbows than Constable at a Harvester salad bar

99.9% sure Smithy's account is genuine.

Yeah it is, the official site retweeted him yesterday when he said he was in with the away fans.

Selfie is the nob on Jack FM that does the Pox commentary...

Cheers, it's a shame Kennedy was in the stand with him.

The bloke on the left has had the Phil experience

who's the bloke in the red cap i always see him in the arkells?

Thats Phil, hes harmless

He was on my coach, the commentary from him coming away from the ground was priceless.

harmless unless you kill yourself listening to him talk.

thought he was the head of the swindon firm

Dear oh dear, get a grip FFS

Haha, that Phil chap followed me and Whits around the away stand at Rotherham telling the same story over and over!

Was a little too near him at Supermarine and Southend. No harm at all but a touch irritating.

Got to go back to work tomorrow where I'm out numbered by Pox fans.
Tomorrow mornings conversation will go something like this :-

Morning John.

Morning Dave.

How did you get on at the weekend.

Fuck Off.

I here you lost 2-0.

Fuck Off.

We only had ten men as well.

What part of Fuck Off do you not understand.

Dont worry, he burped in my face at supermarine 8)

Haha i know the exact feeling

It's times like this that being up here isn't quite do bad.

Only one scummer at work, and he didn't even get a ticket so probably won't be too much of a prick.
Nowhere near as bad as I would have been if we got revenge anyway :)

"I went Tuesday. Timlin should've been sent offff". Did chuckle when I saw him there on Saturday.

I live with a fucking Oxford fan. Your getting off lightly!

Luckily I do not know a single oxford fan.

So i'm not too bad..

There are a reasonable amount in Plymouth, a few were in the the SU yesterday

Avoided that like the plague till about 5ish.

Couldn't face soccer saturday..

I needed a pint. One of the least enjoyable I will ever have!

An alternative approach...

Morning John.

Morning Dave.

How did you get on at the weekend.

Still top of the league by 3 points with a game in hand.

I here you lost 2-0.

Ah well, we're still top of the league by 3 points with a game in hand.

We only had ten men as well.

Yeh. Still, could be worse, we're top of the league by 3 points with a game in hand.
