Yes , they won with only nine men left on the pitch which makes their win impressive .TBH, I'm not looking forward to playing against them because many of their supporters still hate us for that end of season game back in 2006.
“Hating” another club because the team you support happened to lose to them in a match almost 20 years ago is properly weird behaviour.RedDwarf 1881 wrote: ↑Sat Oct 07, 2023 10:47 pmYes , they won with only nine men left on the pitch which makes their win impressive .TBH, I'm not looking forward to playing against them because many of their supporters still hate us for that end of season game back in 2006.
A few years ago somebody on here put up a link to their messageboard when we got relegated to the National League. They were venomous against us . Their hatred all came from that last game of 2006. They reckon we rubbed it in their faces because while we were going up and they were getting relegated to the National League . Saying things like karma is a bitch , we lacked any class and hoped we got relegated further to the National League South .The Reverend wrote: ↑Sat Oct 07, 2023 11:26 pm“Hating” another club because the team you support happened to lose to them in a match almost 20 years ago is properly weird behaviour.RedDwarf 1881 wrote: ↑Sat Oct 07, 2023 10:47 pmYes , they won with only nine men left on the pitch which makes their win impressive .TBH, I'm not looking forward to playing against them because many of their supporters still hate us for that end of season game back in 2006.
Great scenes that day. Remember it being a real smash and grabContrifibulatoryFred wrote: ↑Sun Oct 08, 2023 6:54 am Our 1-0 win there in league 2 near the end of Kevin Nolan’s stint as manager - with a goal from Jobi - was one of my favourite ever away games.
The Os fans sang ‘we made you cry’ almost continuously through the match. I feel that game did a lot to reinforce Oxford fans antipathy towards us
So true. And many are predictably selective.Give it to Jabo wrote: ↑Sun Oct 08, 2023 12:52 pm Thing is football supporters have long memories...

I very much enjoyed that coming full circle with us sending them down to NL
Such generalisation. After that Oxford game it was chaos trying to get back out of town to anywhere. I needed to get to the Park and Ride with my young son and we could not get a cab anywhere and buses were full. I met Oxford fans in a pub and I asked to share a cab with three nice young men who were going my way. They were obviously gutted but showed no hate towards us in our colours. We discussed the match on way, we shook hands and we were all fine. They worried how long they would be out of the league. Look at them now.RedDwarf 1881 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 08, 2023 12:34 amA few years ago somebody on here put up a link to their messageboard when we got relegated to the National League.

I'm only relying what I read on their messageboard . Some were saying we were taking the piss out of them . I wasn't at that game so don't know if that's true or not . Like I said , I'm only repeating what I read .Loin Cloth Lenny wrote: ↑Sun Oct 08, 2023 10:37 pmSuch generalisation. After that Oxford game it was chaos trying to get back out of town to anywhere.

I loved every second of that day, winning in the last minute was pure ecstasy, singing as loud as I could in their 2 Bob three sided sh*t hole. Then driving home leaving that stinky little trading estate listening to talk sport all the way back. Then I bought the DVD and watched it all to soak up the atmosphere of that day again again again. Ah sweet sweet day.RedDwarf 1881 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 08, 2023 12:34 amA few years ago somebody on here put up a link to their messageboard when we got relegated to the National League.

I was at the game, we just got promotion into league one, I can only speak for myself and the people around, we were too busy cheering and singing with the team to pay attention to Oxford fans.RedDwarf 1881 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 08, 2023 11:12 pmI'm only relying what I read on their messageboard .

Wasnt it Zakuani who got punched?Lifelongfan wrote: ↑Mon Oct 09, 2023 11:25 am The football authorities did nothing about Jabo being attacked by their fans on the pitch. At the time Oxford did not know that it would be such a crucial match so gave us extra tickets. There were 6000 O's there. Was like a home match
