Home Match Day Thread 20/01/2024 L1: OUFC vs Northampton Town - POSTPONED

[Carpy]

Probably the easiest game of a busy few weeks so would hope we end up walking away with the 3 points.

Fancy Harris to continue his goalscoring form, 2-0 to Oxford

EDIT: And it’s postponed

The irony is it will be rearranged for a freezing Tuesday evening in February.

What if the game went ahead today and Cumming, Cam or anyone else got injured from the hard surface?!

 

[MJB]

Where do we post our claims too?

Mark them up as ‘OUFC Refunds’ and send them to The Executive Washroom, Bakrie Towers, Indonesia.

You should get a response before the next Fans Forum.

I used to slide tackle , when we used to play football on the concrete streets.
PUSSIES.....

 

[MJB]

Cumming, Cam

It was so much better back in the old days when footballers congratulated each other for scoring with a manly handshake , or a nod of approval and players would get career ending injuries on a frozen pitch.

If the players have been able to train all week in these conditions, why can't they play today?

f*****g pussy officials these days, players can't tackle, can't answer back or complain, and now they're not allowed to play when it's a little bit cold and the ground is a bit hard.

Wimps.

I don't thing the training pitches have a massive stand blocking out the sun meaning the ground can't defrost.

Also off topic a bit, officials shouldn't be putting up with players answering back and complaining. Discussion is a different thing but that doesn't happen.

Annoying as this was the only game I was able to get to for the remainder of the season and I was taking my young grandsons.

I guess I need to call the ticket office to get a refund?

Ah sorry really feel for y...

You'll be ok.

Woking away in the cup last season got called off for rain, it then got played in much worse rain a week and a half later.

Play it 3pm tomorrow?

 

[Mad Dog]

Go and stand on the pitch, then run and slide on your knees and see how you feel after!

Sounds like your stuck in the 50’s

I (and I suspect many others on this forum) used to play in freezing conditions, when the ground was rock hard, and if you cut your legs up a bit whilst doing slide tackles or whatever, tough, you didn't give a s**t, that was just part of it.

These wimps nowadays could at least play in tracky bottoms and trainers if they're that fussy about cutting their pretty little knees, and let's face it, the only sliding on their knees they do these days is when they ponce about celebrating a goal, so just don't do that and they'll be fine!

Well at least it's one less game to get upset about Goodwin's absence for

Please put this in English.

This is how they speak on social media

 

[Left Wing Cross]

One less game for Goodwin to miss
