Wow! I don’t recall that incident but compare that to instances when almost an entire team surrounds the ref to contest a decision and no-one is booked. I guess it often depends on the nature of the ‘complaint’. Pointing out to the ref that a colleague is constantly being roughed up without...

It’s been mentioned several times before on this forum that we’re too complacent when it comes to defending teammates who are getting roughed up by the opposition. Should our management team be encouraging the players to be more proactive in complaining to the ref about this? Perhaps a Micky...

Isn’t that sort of comment bringing the game into disrepute?

What about Wright’s chance which the defender slid across and blocked? Had he moved the ball to the right slightly, or done a di Stefano-type pull-back, the defender would have slid past, leaving Wright with a clear sight of goal.

That was a question I raised earlier. Should the video excerpt be shown on media to raise the issue?

So, if the club appears to be unwilling to address the issue, is there anything we can do to raise it? Local press? MP? …?

The match reports often contain typos and grammatical errors. Haven’t read it in a while but the club’s history on the official site also contained lots of grammatical errors. I contacted the club to ask if they wanted me to proofread it, for free. No reply. 🙄

I agree. I would rather us have brought players in that meet the requirements than, as has happened so many times in the past, been bought just to make the numbers up. I’m just delighted that there is a plan to try to get promoted in the next five years. Lots of things to be optimistic about...

In May ‘77, both teams were delighted with a 2-2 draw!!

Which teams coming down from the EPL would give us the best chance for a top 2 finish next season? Luton, Sheff U and …?

Basically, yes. 😉

Chris Chilton (table in the middle of the HR pitch, but not at Xmas!)

Clive Whitehead?

Didn’t he once play for Leeds?

Southampton are dull, dull, dull to watch. Couldn't cope with watching that every week.

A client took me to watch Man City vs Chelsea and City won (l think, 6-0). A happy outcome until l found out that Everton had thrashed us by the same score. I remember the 7-1 loss at WBA too. Willie Johnston tearing Brian Roberts a new one. The stuff of nightmares.

Always had a lot of time for Gordon Milne. I wrote to him after we got a 3-3 draw at West Brom in Feb ‘78 asking why he hadn’t brought on our sub, John Beck, earlier in the game as l felt he could have got us a win. He didn’t reply (not surprising, really, as l hadn’t a clue). 🙄

My absolute favourite, with faggots, chips and mushy peas a close second! 😋

Oxford at home

One of the last times l was there, Mick Coop missed a penalty, Larry Lloyd was sent off, and we lost 4-0! 🥴
