Home Match Day Thread +++ 09/02/2019 OUFC v Sunderland match day thread +++

Thought we could of easily won that game today. If only more clinical in front of goal, then we would of got all three points. That said we showed courage and continued and never gave up, and we got a deserved equaliser. Thought Sinclair looked very good when he came on, and showed great strength to tee up Browne.

Good performance again - Haway the Lads
 
I didn't think Sunderland were all that - some good players but spent a lot of time hoofing the ball into the channel, time wasting and falling over. When we stopped giving them respect, they didn't like it.

Chuffed for our players, kept going, kept creating and got what we deserved from the game. Whyte was really good and once again on the end of some awful challenges that largely went unpunished. I thought KR was going to explode when Whyte was left on the floor after another high challenge. Considering they had the likes of Grigg on the pitch, there wasn't much between the teams. Where was the desire from Sunderland? Still in Sunderland by the looks of it.

As for the Ref. A good example for why fast tracking officials doesn't work well. Behind the game, intimidated by the occasion and got far too involved in the game. He had no feel for the game. Particularly bad in the first half booking Mackie for nothing, but let their player hack Hanson down. For a Ref that largely obliged their players all game, it was a sweet irony when he bottled it for our goal. Awesome.

I am going to have a lovely drink of Moonshine with my gang banger friends and drink to another good OUFC performance. And scoring so late, I just regret I couldn't see Chartle's reaction
 

Fair comment.

The ref was consistently crap all game. Booked players for tame challenges and let the reckless ones go. Handball and holding seemingly allowed in that ref’s world.

I said to my mate at half time that I would have been disappointed if such a tame goal from Sunderland separated the two sides. I’m glad such a mess of an equaliser is what cancelled that one out.
 
Did anyone see what caused the fracas after the final whilstle when one of our tracksuited players seemed to get pushed over by a Sunderland player?
 
Would have taken a point before kick off, we should have won just not clinical enough at the moment. James Henry a bit off but had a kid in hospital this week so not suprising. Billy big boots sent home not happy me very happy.
 
Right. I've had a bit of a mixed reaction on here this week with a couple of my threads.

My prediction for the Sunderland game is Oxford United 1 (That new bloke) Sunderland 1 (its obvious) Att: 10001 with 1802 Sunderland fans.
This is going to be a rather boring game. But the events not related to the match are interesting me. The game will start 30 minutes late, because Nissan, who supply the coach, will change their mind about lending it to Sunderland, due to Brexit. The team will all have to thumb a lift to get here. There will be a change of ref before the match starts, because he went on telly the night before and debunked the moon landing of 1969. It was decided he is a t**t and was too embarrased to turn up. Sykes and Whyte will get into a fight, arguing about who is a true Celt. Erick Thohir will warn them he has a Viking background, so watch it.
Oxford will win the toss, and 200 of their (Sunderland) fans will leave the ground in disgust.
Oxford will be shooting towards the car park end and most of their shots will land in the car park....................near the club shop.
Maguire will score the luckiest goal ever seen at the Curse-Him Stadium. We will score the shittiest goal ever seen in a football match, but who cares?
One of the goal posts will break. A pigeon will drop dead, mid-flight and land on Eastwood's finger - breaking it. It gets worse.
Nelson will injure his coccyx after jumping the wall at the East end. No-one will know why he did it.
Their centre-half will fracture his clavicle, whist raising Maguire up, after scoring.
The score-board will explode, as will the director's box. Robinson will be strangely quiet during the game.
The ref will book 5 players from us and 6 from them. Turns out, he has an attention-seeking disorder.
Charlie Farley will be seen wearing a scarf with 'Sunderford' printed on it. He hasn't chosen us or them, yet.
A dog will run onto the pitch. The fans will sing my name when it does.
One of the hot-dog stands will run out of cooking gas, so will have to shut early.
An ambulance will drive onto the pitch, after a hoax phone call.
That just about does it for me. COYY

I got the score and the ref right
 
BBC South showed us and announced our 0-0 draw with Sunderland, c’mon Jerome have a word with those biased twats down there.
