Away Match Day Thread +++ 07/07/19 PSF: - Glasgow Rangers v OUFC MDT +++

[bicesterox]

Not seen one started yet so here goes.
After a good night in Glasgow I am really looking forward to seeing what sort of team we put out today.
Should be a good atmosphere with nearly 1000 of us travelling up. Rangers fans seem a good bunch so hopefully a good game, and an Oxford win ??

This is going to be my only source of info during the match so I hope that a few of the travelling Yellow Army post frequent updates. WiFi/ telephone signal permitting. Thanks everyone.

The club’s tweet thanking Celtic for use of their training ground may have backfired. Check the replies.

 

[Oufcluke34]

Think we've definitely hit a nerve there lol

 

[Northstandboy]

What's the deal with BBC Scotland? Means no Radio Comms for Radio Oxford, even text Comms!

Stevens
Long Dickie Jones Ruffels
Sykes Gorrin Brannagan
Napa Whyte Fosu

Hopefully see some decent minutes for youth/new signings, admittedly I think we will probably go full strength (unlike Rangers).

1-2, Whyte + Fosu

 

[Sarge]

Ive a feeling this will a bit of a warm up for the Shaun Harvey trophy ... with OUFC facing basically a Rangers U23 side... U's win 1-2

I dont know 100% , but Id guess that OWS along with OM will have some sort of match coverage?

Hahaha. Touchy, I'm guessing it really doesn't take much to get a reaction.

2nd Half
Stevens

Suspect we will see two teams today and something like this with a balance of youth and first team in each.

That really is rather pathetic from some Rangers supporters.

I don't know if we'd be any different if they came down to play us, and trained at Swindon or Reading.

 

[werthersoriginal]

Truly pathetic. I know the weathers bad up there but they really need to get out more and find some other interests. For most of our fans the Swindon thing is good fun and partly tongue in cheek, but these guys seem obsessed.

 

[ZeroTheHero]

There's rivalry and there is lunatic hatred!

 

[Marked Ox]

Is there not an online radio station that Rangers allow coverage due to their dispute with the BBC?

 

[Navegante]

"Must Win" game

 

[Sir Winston]

8 arrests as thousands gather in Glasgow for city's biggest Orange Order march

Around 5000 people lined the streets as dozens of marching bands from Orange lodges across Scotland descended on the city.

I don't know about being obsessed @werthersoriginal, but they do like a good old march ?

 

[beyondthefourth]

I imagine there are enough Oxford fans with lunatic hatred for Swindon to be able to fill a Twitter comment section.

 

[Navegante]

Leafing through the comments suggest Cambridge university boat race team have gained numerous new fans. Our loss, their gain! Clearly not the brightest bunch - probably the booze.

Surely anything other than ‘lunatic hatred’ isn’t really hatred?

 

[Berliner]

You know sometimes when you're out in unfamiliar surroundings with friends of friends and you sort of think that they've got the joke and everything's fine, but you're also somehow expecting that there'll be a massive fight any second now?

Yeah, that's like conversing with Rangers fans...

 

[Isle of Wight Yellow]

I don't know if we'd be any different if they came down to play us, and trained at Swindon or Reading.

I couldn’t care less if they trained at Reading! And I’d be more mildly puzzled if they trained at Swindon...

 

[Deleted member 142]

The irony of their mutual hatred is that without each other they’d be husks of themselves. Perpetual winners of a minor league.

Think of Rangers and one thinks immediately of Celtic and vice versa.

It’s truly unique. Other famous rivalries all take place in larger and higher profile leagues.

 

[beyondthefourth]

I couldn’t care less if they trained at Reading! And I’d be more mildly puzzled if they trained at Swindon...

Yeah. That's how a normal supporter feels. And I'm sure a lot of Rangers fans don't care that we trained with Celtic. But even if only 2% of their fanbase do, that's still a lot of vitriolic comments that show up on Twitter. And I bet that we have our own 2% (which doesn't include us sensible folk), which would go too far with a response like that.

For reference, see the Oxford Mail website.

 

[Northstandboy]

Is there not an online radio station that Rangers allow coverage due to their dispute with the BBC?

Appears so. BBC Oxford cannot even do text commentary.

prolific goal scorer for oufc u18s last season Kyran Lofthouse may get some game time today ?

If there's absolutely no coverage of this anywhere, frequent tweets or posts on here from those at the match would be greatly appreciated by the rest of us! Thanks

id think OUFC OWS will have coverage of a sort ... possibly OM too?

I've bought the match pass on the Rangers site, so I'll be able to give some updates.
