Away Match Thread 02/05/2026: Millwall v Oxford United

 
I agree with @Steve Gilbert on this one, this is a match thread, there are plenty of opportunities to discuss politics on this forum, match threads are not the place for it.

Political posts removed.

Seems entirely unnecessary, Carpy.

Any slightly political discussion was quite specifically in relation to the nature of chants at a game (specifically this one). So, on topic.

Most threads deviate a little from the topic at times anyway, it's natural. But they tend to find their way back without much fuss.

Don't think deletion of any inoffensive posts is ever really necessary and that this forum is pretty good for self-policing.

Instead we now have an abridged version of (in this case) an otherwise reasonable post-match discussion.

And I say this as someone who has all the politics threads on 'ignore'.

Deleted posts, merged threads, posts moved between threads - none of it's really adding any value to this place, is it?
 
I don’t know why @Steve Gilbert allows political threads at all ok this forum. There at plenty of other spaces to discuss politics. It’s a know fee fight tactic to infiltrate forums like these. My complaint was that a*rsehole boy trolls at the Millwall game were copying the home fans’ chant about Keir Starmer. Ironically, this now seems to have been removed by the same @Steve Gilbert for being too political when my sole purpose was to keep politics out of OUFC. Ho hum.

I think you want to take the tinfoil hat off, I doubt anyone is infiltrating an OUFC fans forum, if they are then they are wasting their time as you are not changing the political discourse of the country via here.

I can't win bud, some don't want them, some do, I'm tired of trying to find the middle ground, it's exhausting, fight amongst yourselves, I'm going to go and do something more interesting.
