I quite liked the chatting while the game was going on. I don't need anyone to commentate for me when I'm sat in the stadium, so not sure why I'd need that watching on iFollow. i think I agree with what you said. However, what I found irritating about yesterdays commentary was the fact that they never really mentioned where the ball was on the pitch. I was watching on iFollow but it froze on a number of occasions so I was forced into "listen only". It was nice to listen to the chat but if you weren't watching the game you would have had no idea if we were attacking or defending. Lord Byron was a true revelation though - his insight into the flow of play and the tactics was superb.

Today is a home game...
So at a minute to 3 o’clock I propose a minutes reflection on those we have sadly lost to this horrible pandemic and never knew that Shrewsbury Town on 29th Feb last year was to be the last time they saw their beloved team play.
and during that minute to those struggling, as we all are in some way, remember we will get through this and we will once again meet up and socialise. Stay positive everyone. Better times are round th corner. A very poignant and fitting suggestion - I will be there. I am sure that we will all have a glass of something at our sides to raise a toast to them just before kick off.

I'm not a moderator anymore.... Which is why I'm sat on a cloud with cupid, surrounded by scantily clad women, with a cider in one hand, and a doner kebab in the other.... Can I be an Ex-Moderator too please

I have taken heed of GGMI's special request and have taken it upon myself to relieve him of his duties for this game (albeit 4.5 hours early) I have never started a thread before, and I am not waiting up till midnight to start this one, so please take it easy on me. I have started this thread on the basis that I have never fancied our chances at the Kassam Stadium but have been there on a number of occasions and have only ever seen us win. Fingers crossed that my luck holds out and we get to see another famous victory. PS Another reason for starting this thread is that I have just taken receipt of a BJ "Special Hamper" and have already drunk my way through half of it!!!!!!! Bloody Jonah 😜 Sorry Guys, it was all my fault - I've now got the dubious distinction of a 100% record!!!!! I might persist though until I get a win!!!! - I am a stubborn old git

I've decided to be positive today - all of the wins at Oxford have come when I am feeling the way I was a few minutes ago, but have made myself go to the game nonetheless. I have just purchased my match pass and, provided the internet connection holds up, have decided to put myself through 90 minutes of tension (albeit with the cushion of an ample supply of beer).
At least it is another tenner to the club (the cost of a new striker surely)
C'mon you blues!!!!!

You look a bit like Chris lines in this one StaffGas. I like the blue shorts and white socks, makes the quarters stand out more imo, however today is a hard one to call just yet. We always do well at Oxford but if I was a betting man I don't think I'd put any money on us taking 3 points!? But' you never know I don't particularly like the solid blue backs to our current shirts - I much prefer the full on quarters which to me are more distinctive. All to our own I guess....... Not hopeful about today's game. Oxford started this season on a dire run of form but have re-emerged as a solid side over the last two months. I wish we could put a similar run of form together - I truly believe that we have the squad to do that, but at the moment we only get glimpses of their true capabilities.

Looks like it is going to be a 10 goal thriller in the second half

In the short term that might be true - but going forward I think it is the only way to go and hopefully it will eventually lead to far fewer cancellations and enable us to complete the season
