Good to see the U18s level is being used correctly, the point is to get the kids playing in the style and to the ethos of the first team.

Oxford U18s, playing great football, winning games.

Swindon U18s, losing discipline, red cards, and getting hammered by local rivals ?

Does he, the Bristolian, (not the former YF poster of course!) head the ever-growing, incompetant lower league(& anti oufc) referees association?

What happened to the Eric Reid that used to post on here? Surely Sarge or Ox4Eva must know him since he used to be one of the old school types?

Throw a smoke bomb at him, see if he ignores it and carries on as if nothing has happened...

 

[Sarge]

I can confidently say that Eric Ried , formerly of YF is not Mellow yellow

 

[Colin B]

It's Read, not Reid..............

 

[Malc]

Sarge is correct. And Eric still posts here.

 

[Colin B]

Sarge is correct. And Eric still posts here.

Not about the spelling he isn't Malc. It's Eric Read, not Reid.

I can sense Eric getting very mad at the misspelling of his name!

 

[Paul Cannell]

Is Eric a relative of Sally Ride, Colin?

 

[Colin B]

Is Eric a relative of Sally Ride, Colin?

That's very random Paul. You'll have to explain that one to me.

As far as I'm aware Eric was neither an astronaut, nor famous for strange quotes.

 

[Paul Cannell]

Apologies, I thought this was a game of anagrams and you were the judge.

I'll get me cape.

 

[Colin B]

Apologies, I thought this was a game of anagrams and you were the judge.

I'll get me cape.

In that case I offer you Neil Warnock. Or Colin to his friends.

 

[Paul Cannell]

A fine anagram.

9 years ago today who can remember what they were doing?

Me, I was in a pub on Marylebone road, where I'd been for an hour or so by this time ( around 11.30am) and was thinking about getting the underground to Wembley , to head for The Green Man ... continuing the build up to the conference play off final v York City

Wembley would have been pretty empty nine years ago today, just saying!

EDIT: As for ourselves, we were sorting out return flights as the ash cloud had put the kibosh on getting home. Worked out in the end...unexpected extra couple of days holiday without the kids.

post match in The Priory was a rare occasion for me, me dad ( in his late 70s at the time) and me youngest lad all in a pub together celebrating .... was possibly the last time me dad drank alcohol ( meds hes on since dont allow him to - despite being in his late 80s now, me old man is still a ST holder, and gets between 7 & 10 away games a season in these days)....The Green Man pre match that day was bouncing

2 subsequent Wembley visits ( paintpot trophy/ Shaun Harvey's b'team trophy) where OUFC travelling support was allocated the Torch pre match, were flat in comparison!

 

[Oufcad30]

Small fact, me and my bro in law actually got the match ball, it currently resides in my nephews bedroom!
Clarkey hoofed it into the fans after all the celebrations, i put my foot on it whilst my bro in law dived onto it before anyone else could
