Did you watch the match or just listen to the nonsense on R Bristol? Apart from a dodgy 15 minute spell after half time we created the most chances throughout the game and fully deserved the draw against L1 opposition, if we'd had Pitman or similar striker on the pitch we'd probably be celebrating a famous victory tonight. When did we last take any higher league team to an FA Cup replay, or better, away from home, way back in the Lambert era? That was probably one of our best footballing performances away from home since the height of DC's era, against all the odds Barton seems to be giving us our Rovers back, at least away from home anyway. Not sure if it matters or not if I watched or listened. Did they hit the woodwork 3 times? Did they also miss a sitter too? Answer is yes to both questions. The game should have been over after that period. We got lucky that it wasn't over and to only be 1 goal behind to be in the position to get a replay late on. Fair shout to the players. They did work hard for it. Not sure what I said in my comments that you can't agree with, unless you want to be argumentative for no reason. Some things never change it seems. Instead of being obsessed about posters arguing with you I suggest you take time to read my post, if you did then you'll notice I mentioned the dodgy 15 minutes spell, although Taylor was still lucky to be on the pitch as a fussy ref would have given him a another yellow for when he kicked out at Taylor on the stroke of half time, and Finely seemed convinced he should have received a straight red for his early "assault" on Taylor picking up a yellow for his troubles.

cant remember him thriving the first time he played against us at the mem. Couldn't wait to get off the pitch from memory I agree. It was his words though that he thrives on it. Well he would say that, horrible little sh** !!! 💙utg

Not sure he thrives on it as he was lucky to be still on the pitch for the second half, why he had to elbow and then later kick youngster Taylor for no apparent reason only he will know. Although do we really need to sing about celebrating a former player's death, particularly on Remembrance Sunday, surely there's better things to sing about. Like I said, HE himself said he thrives on it. I agree with you that I don't think he does because I am sure he wouldn't want to choose to come back for the replay. Completely agree about the song too. Supporters can be cruel and there are fewer more cruel than at the Mem. Hopefully it is the young who know no better? BUT I fear it is the more mature amongst us who are the worst and need to realise what we are singing about? Do we really want to see players die? or be seriously injured? Maybe if it was a member of your family? perhaps you might think again?

Also, I know the snake said he thrives on abuse from us, but I am sure he wouldn't want the replay to visit the Mem. So that's another positive about the result. Not sure he thrives on it as he was lucky to be still on the pitch for the second half, why he had to elbow and then later kick youngster Taylor for no apparent reason only he will know. Although do we really need to sing about celebrating a former player's death, particularly on Remembrance Sunday, surely there's better things to sing about. Not that it makes it right for one minute but.. It's not remembrance Sunday Topper... What did I say about quality over quantity 😉

Great result . The radio oxford team whilst confident in oxfords abilities were stating the game was wide open unless oxford got a 2 goal lead. Rovers were very capable of scoring.
Rovers rode their luck at times but also created enough good chances to have scored more. Considering the numbers of real first team candidates unavailable they did really well.
Ps taylor wont play in the replay.

Not obsessed with any poster. Just making the point it's only you who argues with everyone, including me, for no actual reason. You've mentioned the 15 minute spell, which covers what I said. So you are arguing for arguments sake. Just no point. End of the day, we did well to come back twice showing great character but we got lucky because the game really should have been put to bed with their chances that they wasted, which thankfully they did waste. Clearly you agree with this but will find something to argue about. No pleasing some.

Perhaps one day we can put the transfer incident behind us and remember him for his very important goals.

After the last week I've had, I'm going to now enjoy the rest of this evening with a cold one and watch the F1.

Great comeback twice, sounded we were lucky with a 15 minute spell in the second half, as an aside think Matty T loves the abuse and it inspires him, so ignore him at the Mem and see what happens. Some players abuse destroys he laps it up. I don't think I he does so much, he had to go off at half time against us last time we were all at the Mem. I would expect a decent crowd for the replay just to give the snake some abuse really. It will likely be a Tuesday night too.

I doubt many other fans sing for 90 minutes they are having a party when he’s dead either to be fair.

A bit annoying we couldn’t slug it out today in extra time / straight to pens. A replay means we have Saturday - Tuesday - Friday.
On the flip side hopefully a cracking week at the mem where we can properly rectify the home form.
