So yeah, I can really see why the FA would be desperate to send referees to tent City as a training exercise in dealing with huge crowds. Would have thought it would be an incentive - improve or you'll be condemned to this for the rest of your career. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We simply need to play better, or more to the point actually score a goal. If the up and coming refs are sent to teams with big support, we're not getting the fastest track one are we?

WessexPest Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 I really hope the Rent Boys draw WSM in the FA Cup - would be better than Hitchin, Bath, Chesham, Barrow, Braintree and Altrincham combined if they lost to them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t you notice Andy Leaning running back and punching the air..? You must have thought it was very odd when the away end went mental (if not a little bemused!) trusting that we had actually scored. I recall we could see through the fof that one of players drove forward and fired a low shot across goal. Certainly couldn’t see then it went in though, but Andy Leaning did let us all know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was all very retro I did see the Oxford mob outside the pub on Gloucester Road after the game and there were plenty of police so I was surprised when it all did kick off again.. If we are going to back to the 70s I hope we can get Smash and Grab back. It's on Monday. Don't you lot know anything about the 1st round of the cup? why do you need them you now have hoof and miss? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect the FA are frantically trying to decide who they can send to officiate a game in that cauldron of noise and intimidation. Tuesday night its ManU v Juventus which is likely to have an adverse impact upon their attentance (sic) as the 'loyal and true' make sure that they watch their favourite team on Sky.
