Oh, a demo at last about the rip off prices at big clubs, but it’s news to me that fans of all 20 clubs will take part in it, given it costs a ST holder in South Wales £21.90 for a home seat and £22 for an away one.

Re: Penalty takers

In reality it has cost Us 3 points had they all been converted into goals this season - or statistically 2.55 points if the average penalty success rate of 85% had been achieved.

Re: Penalty takers

Case proven Kernow, that’s a crap link I dug up. Sorry.

Nothing in ‘Ad Hoc’ queries on the Rage Online database either, so it may have to be one of those never to be answered questions than even the anoraks on here can’t crack!

Re: Penalty takers

Of course psychology comes into it. I present Exhibit A.

The other factor is confidence, and if you keep missing penalties then it's time to stop taking them. And pressure. Would you want Hylton to be taking a crucial pen in a Wembley play-off final?

Re: Cider pressing

League tables mean nothing at this stage of the season, as I keep telling myself. That doesn’t stop me enjoying looking at them though :P

Shame about the "wow signing" that never happened on the basis of OUFC results in the initial games.

Re: Football League Show

I thought it would be great before MotD as a taster for Linker and Co, but it just jumps all over the place. As for the audience, it’s not Top of the Pops or Top Gear.

Re: Season Tickets

Apologies for not also warning you that the cards are only valid for some turnstiles. Sounds like it went ok though as the kick off was not delayed.

And if so why not clear it now so we can all relax a bit? Appears not. Maybe at Bicester next week eh? Meanwhile, yo...
