Re: Tumbleweed
I must admit I’ve avoided forums generally over the last year or two, as my mental health is worsened by the inevitable circular arguments, and persistent reference to arguments of many eons ago, or what may seem to others like throw away lines that I’ve become sensitive to. I’m happy contributing a...

It's a sin
Simon Eastwood Sam Long Cameron Brannagan Mark Sykes Ben Davis The above are the only players of the 14 who entered the pitch, who performed to an acceptable standard. For the others: When I look back upon my life it’s always with a sense of shame I’ve always been the one to blame For everything I l...

About 142 ml
What a frustrating match. We were by far the better side for almost all the game. Yet we concede from distance again. We don’t bother to close the player down, and so they have time to line it up and shoot. Contrast that to the closing down by opposition defenders when our players try to shoot. In t...
Re: Shitenham
Despite what Robbo says, it was the same old problems from each of our other defeats this season. We don't last past 60 minutes and as soon as teams close us down from the front, we are left with no plan B. We are very one dimensional at present. The scoreline could have been worse as JS had to made...

Re: Wimbledone
From my comments on Facebook: First half we coped. Second half we fell apart, especially after the subs. Our players don’t seem up to a 90 minute match, usually running out of steam between 60 and seventy minutes. This is a huge question mark regarding fitness, and the value (or lack of value) of th...

Queens v Jacks
No complaints about the result last night. We put out a mixed team of 1st team, reserves, U21 and U19s. I’m no expert on the QPR squad, but the team they put out was a lot stronger than ours, including their “big Dickie” as they loved to sing about. That Dickie looked good in their team, showed just...

Re: Milk Cup Replay Boot
Let's go for a simple cascade: 1) Will Oxford progress to the next round? 2) Will Oxford score more than one (in normal time)? 3) Will QPR score more than one (in normal time)? 4) Will there be a penalty (in normal time)? 5) Will there be more than three bookings? 6) Which team will commit more fou...

Bolt on but screw loose
I'm aiming to do the full season this time around, having always come up a game or two short previously. Very often fixtures such as this one were previously deemed excessive by the family, but I've fore-warned Katy this time. I enjoyed my trip to Bolton on Saturday, making use of the train services...

Re: I wandered lonely as a boot
Trotter time. Winner takes all. A point goes to the closest guess estimate, no repeats on any of the answers. If equidistant, the lower/smaller answer will win. BBC Sport website source for answers. 1. Total number of goals in the game 2. Total number of substitutions in the game 3. Oxford's league...

1. Will there be at least 1 red card in the match? 1 point 2. Will there be at least 3 yellow cards in the match? 3 points 3. Home win, away win, or draw? 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw 4. Name of first Oxford player subbed off? 5 points 5. Name of First Oxford player subbed on? 5 points 6....

Re: Crew’s boots v Crewes’ boots
Tough crowd OY! And to prove it, if there is a straight red, does that count as 2 yellows for Q2? As an accountant, you’ll appreciate this level of forensic analysis from the participants. Lol Straight red counts as a red. 2 yellows for the same player leading to a red counts as 2 yellows and 1 red...

Er no, because if you say yes and it is incorrect, you get zero, whereas if you say no and it is correct, you get the points.Ancient Colin wrote: ↑Mon Aug 16, 2021 8:53 am And, if there are no negative marks for being wrong, presumably we'd all answer yes to Q1 and Q2?

I've amended it now. Well spotted.
