    National News Rishi Sunak

    Consider the place of Grenfell Tower located under the control of a Tory authority (South Kensington?). Organise an Enquiry, chaired by an ‘independent’ aiming to get to the ‘facts’. Shabby cheap building materials responsible?; or maybe start with blaming the Firefighters.. This Administration...

    National News Rishi Sunak

    Partition of India, Sykes-Picot accord (creation of Iraq, since unproblematic!), partition of Ireland. Favouring of Greece over Turkey at the collapse of the Ottoman Empire… One response, naturally, is ‘woke sensibilities’, probably one reason for the invention of ‘woke’ (shorthand for ‘we take...

    Democracy threatened? How about an election to clear the air? Now!

    National News Sir Keir Starmer

    Why bother surmising, check the evidence. Galloway was the standing MP in Bradford West and, despite running an appallingly vindictive campaign was convincingly beaten by Naz Shah in spite of it being nationally a bad night for Labour. He remains a very articulate speaker and will provide much...

    General OxVox Update 01/02/2024

    When fans took direct action against Kassam it seems to me this was subsequently used by Kassam and family members to take the victim role.I wasn’t there that night but have complete respect for what fans try to do if not some individual actions that have become part of the memory of this...

    Manager/Coach Des Buckingham

    Having Chris Hackett working with him may help Des, I hope so. partnerships that we have seen that are effective, Manning/Hogg, Wilder/Knill seem to have emerged ‘informally’. Trying to manufacture one maybe unsuccessful; whatever, Des deserves some time to pull things together. So, three more...

    Something very much in Des’s favour is the way he has given opportunities to Smyth, in my view. Centre - mid-mid. may well become his destination assuming there is a player in there.

    Sorry, just not sure about this. Sam Winnall, Rob Hall. Wish Kyle the very best, fingers crossed.

    ’Incredibly harsh’ is generous, try ‘completely ludicrous’.

    Transfer Window January 2024 Transfer Window Thread

    Wasn’t Greg Stewart one half of the partnership with Kane Hemings that saw Hemings transfer to us? Might as well give it a go, what could possibly go wrong. Stewart was the one credited with being the creative one in the partnership, as I recall. Given the playing style under Des, might be worth...

    Ex Player Alex Rodriguez Gorrin

    Usually booked in the first five minutes and consequent reduced impact. Always understood/appreciated what he brought to the team but never a fan…

    We need more fire-power not least ‘cos it allows GO’D to go out on loan and freshen up his game rather this endless subbing him for thirty seconds to run time down. Give the lad a chance and away from all the experts on here.

    Manager/Coach Des Buckingham

    I would add to this ‘subbing off’ players who have picked up a booking, Keeping down suspensions can be a big deal managing a reduced, injury hit squad.

    General Overrated/Underrated Players

    For me, with Chrissy it was the combination of him on one wing, Joey on the other. Rather than seeing him in isolation that is what I remember most, the potent partnership.
