Good spot. Another poorly proof read article on the main website!

Have to say it was like a Dickens novel on Sunday. That ref was the ghost of conference past. Justice done now though but I do think saying he cost us points is harsh. You make your own luck and we couldn't score so at best it may have been one point if we had kept a clean sheet. couple of things sprang to mind...firstly I remember League Two refs being pretty atrocious last time we were here, so it's nothing we shouldn't expect. Secondly we pick 11 players to 'make us luck'/play football, so if one if them (wrongly) isn't allowed to do it for most of the match, it's fair to say it 'could' have cost us points.

We were playing some decent stuff before the ref decided he wanted centre stage for himself.

And we played some decent stuff after. Still didn't score. Football is full of ifs and buts. Unfortunately nobody can predict the unpredictable. Ollie could of only gotten a yellow and we may have lost three nil. All completely irrelevant and we move on.

That's just a stupid comment as 11 players on the pitch is bound to be better than 10, if not, it surely defeats the whole object of the red card system for foul play etc. Why do you think fans celebrate when there's a sending off?

We should start all games with 9 men and add players as we go, it seems it makes no difference how many are on the pitch.

Amazed at that decision. Usually they don't do stuff like that unless you can see there's no contact, or similar. Istm it's 'arguable' it's a red, and so that's usually enough for them to back the ref. Maybe they just thought the ref was generally a bit of a main sail, and they want to let him know. If only all appeals were that easy. Seems virtually identical to Monkhouse's challenge at Telford last season, and we got nowhere with that appeal.

It wasn't that long ago we played against teams who continually had players sent off and we couldn't beat them. It became a in joke on the official forum.

Really? Then show me proof of that?! For every positive permutation you give me that could have "possibly" happened I will give you a negative one. If it truly is easier to play against ten you would think the stats would be heavily in favour of the teams with eleven but they rarely are. I'm sorry but you cannot predict the unpredictable, if the game was that straightforward it would be no fun.

I don't wish to be rude but has anyone ever played football with humans ? They get tired running around for the lost man, this was not ten minutes it was from a very early stage in the game, that is a hell of a lot of extra work. IMHO the Ref cost us points.

The stats from Sunday's game!! Not that hard to grasp is it!!!! Oxford did not have more of the game despite having the man advantage for a considerable percentage of the game! Get it now?? Also why will all managers say it can be harder against ten? Sorry if you think I'm talking nonsense sir, I bow down to your ability to guess what may have happened but if you can't prove your theory is "more likely" then I will disagree.

I don't wish to be rude, but then Oxford had a player sent off after 65? mins So its not as if they were playing at an advantage for the entire game.
