Home Match Day Thread +++ 16/05/2010 BSCP: OUFC v York City MDT +++

[MJB]

Happy 10th anniversary of the single, most important match in the club’s history, everyone.

What a conversely brilliant and nerve-shredding day it was. It was a result that allowed us to survive - and ensured we only had five years in the Conference was whereas Luton had to have a fifth. Ha.

Spare a thought for York City too. Whilst they did return to the League eventually, it was short lived and they now spend their days in the National League North. It could have been us staying down if that Michael Rankine chance gone in or Alex Lawless finished off that good move they put together in the second half ...

Anyone have a link to the old forum where the original match day thread would have been?

 

[BigCrompy]

Any early team news...?

I managed to watch it on a shitty, stuttering internet feed that was about 1min behind radox

I listened to it in Nairobi. IIRC I still had 5 minutes to go when I got a SMS saying it's over.

A daily reminder in the bathroom, since 2010..

Today is the day we got our club back from all of the stupidity of Kassam and Merry, etc. Good times!

Listening to the RadOx buildup for the first time. Wow that noise when we came out to warm-up sounded incredible over the radio.

Watching the game (first half- so far) ten years on, cant help thinking if only we hadn't let Jack Midson go

 

[Tomox]

Potter coming on. Not sure I agree with that sub.

I'd forgotten about Tonkin for us.

Also funny seeing how many players which had played for both clubs, Gash, Carruthers, Purkiss, Pitt and Foyle

It's so much nicer watching league one football ...

 

[SteMerritt]

It's even nervy watching 10 years on, York gave it a bloody good go second half.

I had to look him up. Anthony Tonkin signed from Cambridge Jan 2010.

 

[Jason N]

Sangare just come on aswell.

 

[psquared]

Rhys Day coming on, could be the missing piece to the puzzle.

 

[uptheus]

God, how poor were some of our players.

 

[chuckbert]

Get in

 

[Yellows1]

Just listening to it now, a tear in my eyes, back on the coupon, back in the football league, best day every!!!
