Mackie can play ...if he is fit........https://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/sport/...EBZq6IxhcdySqBK-t99Ud6jHGmoOQkBUkYjYi_wgMhrjE
wouldnt say so @thegrumpyporter .... another tweak to rules (regarding cup games & suspensions) that instead of being announced formaly , appears to have sneaked out into the public domain/ knowledge? 
Yes and Radio Oxford have been on for a couple of weeks now that they expected him to go for one in order to miss the FA cup game, and would almost congratulating him on getting one just on the 90 mins. Wish that would stop playing with things. The there's the Hanson thing when he could not play in the Micky mouse so in effect had an extra match ban to his 3
Crowd of around 7000 with a sizable amount of visiting (vegan) carrot crunchers 'up for the cup'
Danger here is to take the L2 outfit too lightly, especially as its a 'nothing to lose' cup encounter
Ive a feeling this will be a closer than comfortable match, typical old fashioned end to end fa cup
game. With one goal, late on, settling it, 3-2 home win , Smith (2) and Ruffles sharing the goals
There again, if it pans out as honours even at the final whistle, a midweek away replay, & reacquaintance
with FGR's humorless yokel announcer should be a bonus in entertainment stakes

I think Mackie being injured has helped KR in a way. He had a choice to make between Mackie who misses Gillingham, so needs to keep fresh (a goal wouldn’t go a miss also), and Smith who needs a run in the team. With Mackie out for the next two games, Smith has a chance for a decent run in the side. Started well on Tuesday. It’s no or never for him I think.
