Home Match Day Thread 05/02/2022 L1: OUFC v Portsmouth

[The mighty Aldo]

Just got back
What happened at half time?
Incident in tunnel?

Is Baldock any good or just another old crock?

He's played 13 times in the Championship this season, scoring twice.

Brilliant to get two 3`¬2 results in front of big crowds we always used to flop

I was about to post that exact same thing.

Two big crowds have seen plenty of goals, and 2 wins. Hopefully more will come through the turnstiles in future starting next week at home to Bolton, who will bring a decent amount.

Great times being an OUFC fan, so many positives at the moment on and off the pitch.

What was the attendance today?

If there were VAR I don't think their red would have been overturned but Hurst would have gone after. I sit right next to the SSN reporter and he replayed it a few times, looked like a forearm/elbow straight into Moore's face well after the ball had gone. Maybe they're annoyed it took so long to for a yellow to come for time wasting? If their keeper had been booked earlier he might have sped up a bit and not given us so much time to get a winner.

Exactly how my friend and I saw it watching on iFollow with the benefit of replays. We both said with VAR the first one isn't given as a red and the second one is. KR pretty much said the same too post match.

Three Pompey fans in home end of North stand. One of them celebrated their second goal. Took the stewards a while to get them kicked out.

Ah was that the fella fighting the stewards as he was being kicked out?

KR was coy about it post match. He said ‘someone’ knocked their head. It didn’t involve players.

He said that the club would make a statement about it. It appeared he had his legal hat on and wisely sidestepped going into detail about it.

That was very silly game! Can a tactics wonk tell me what formation we had at the end? Was it the old 2-3-5?? We seemed to lose the ability to do the basics in the second half, did the incident affect them? Anyway we got there. I like the new lad, confident on the ball and a tall young athlete.

 

[OUFCwaffle]

Utter limbs.

EIEIEIOOOO!!!

 

[werthersoriginal]

Theyre a bit like the thing we have with Luton. We don’t like them and they don’t like us but there’s a begrudging respect both ways that it’s a difficult combatant both on and off the pitch .

Yes it’s a proper rivalry without the silly local hate stuff. Felt like a derby.

sw***** lost at home and fell out of the L2 payoff (in case anyone hadn't noticed).

Excellent win!

Atmosphere was horrific.

Noticed in the home section of north stand one putting up a struggle followed by two more being 'escorted' out ,shortly after their 2nd goal (almost dreckly across from me in ssl)

We also won against Portsmouth 3-2, in case you hadn't been reading anything else in this thread

 

[werthersoriginal]

The red card was harsh in terms of the rules. However, I think the rules should be, given the focus on brain injuries/dementia in footballers, that any reckless/dangerous contact with the head should be a red whether accidental or not.

It looked to me that Cam sort of stooped and was accidentally kicked. Hard to say though cos you just see it in a flash

Where we're you sat then? Atmosphere was flat when Pompey were winning but as soon as we equalised the atmosphere was the best I've heard for years.

He could maybe lose his 'manbun'
