Always good to take the positives from a mass tragedy.

Can’t see any positives from an OUFC side.

My stepmother is from Malang and lives in Surabaya. My father from Oxford is buried in Malang and I have been to Indonesia a lot.

This is a terrible catastrophe with a lot of blame at the authorities.

Dreadful day for ASEAN football.

The proposed Erik link with OUFC has been on sport Indo media since 9 months ago.
Yes Indo has something like the 4th biggest population in the world.
They are very passionate fans.
Sadly, in the past decade. Media has mirrored their actions to firms in the late 80s in the UK.
Just a massive pity.best you researched that first.
