See http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=bananagate Comments please. Quote: During the 2004/2005 football season, Oxford United FC sacked burly striker Julian Alsop 'with immediate effect' for a 'lewd prank' played on a youth player at the club. It later emmerged that Alsop had attempted to shove a banana up the rear end of the youth team player with others aiding him. A full scale operation was held at the club with a number of youth team players being suspended for their involvement. Still little is known about the full extent of the attack with the banana or of its whereabouts, thus resulting in the 'bananagate' scandal |

Have one of you been at his Wiki page or does it seriously say
'Alsop was sacked by Oxford in October 2004 after an incident involving a banana, half a bottle of spiced rum and a naive youth team player,'

He's a bit of legend at Cheltenham Town and spoke about this in the local press recently when he admitted there was an incident involving a trainee and a banana but claimed that the reports were wrong and all that happened was that it (the banana) was rubbed in the lad's face.

You wouldn't sack a player for rubbing a banana is someones face.
Especially a forward who had a decent scoring record.
It went up the lads arse for sure

How many of these do we think we'll be seeing on 20th August?

I know it's been awhile since we played them but surely having a load of inflatable bananas at the CG is a bit pointless given the incident was 6 or 7 years ago...

The passing of time doesn't stop us singing about Joey Beauchamp, the delights of the Manor ground nor does it stop Poxford still banging on about the last time we played them |

1-0 wasn't it?
It'd look strange to see you all holding yellow things. It doesn't wind us up either.

No, it won't be 'strange' to you because undoubtedly you're used to it. |
