I thought he had a very good game, too.

No, I agree, he has positives, but he's also very frustrating, and makes mistakes that can prove costly.

Not really. Score that and it's 3-0. Go in at half time with that score and the mindset is much different. And anyway, their equaliser looked off (though not by much) to me.

I'm going to guess the word 'again' is missing from that sentence.

How he gave the ball away that allowed the break for their first was pretty criminal.

GET THE FUCK IN!

Can we send BTA back with Robins?

Absolyfucking cunts.

If BTA's inability to see anything in front of him and as desperate a refereeing decision cost us this game, I am am going to be so fucked off.

That's as shocking a decision as you will ever see. Absolutely stinking. We've not been brilliant, ball retention hasn't been great, but we should be absolutely out of sight.

I hope that we score loads of similarly contentious goals today.

It's been quoted a few times, but here's the relevant clause: "gaining an advantage by playing the ball or interfering with an opponent when it has: rebounded or been deflected off the goalpost, crossbar or an opponent" On the face of it, that does cover this. But I know longer no what's...

No, I don't think so. This is my gut instinct, it's a throw, only defenders touch the ball, thus it's onside. *But* the law states that a player who receives the ball in an offside position via a deflection off an opponent (which he did) is then offside. I no longer know if it's onside or...

He was raw but he was also obviously very high quality. The season after he played for us he was a regular in a side that dominated the division.

Hmm. I concede this. I think you're right, but it's a strange one if no attacking player has played the ball. You'd think the deflection clause is written with a deflection from an attacking pass in mind. Anyway, it's given, so all good for us.

Even if he's in an offside position, the ball's played to him by an opponent, not a team-mate, so he's not offside. No Oxford player touches the ball to make him offside.

In other news, I like Oxford's purple kit.

The Norwich defender heads it against his own man, sending it back towards the goalscorer. No Oxford player touches the ball from the throw but the scorer. A Norwich man plays it to him. It's onside.

Jake Findlay was just a thumbnail photo in the programme to me.

Craic?
