Chippygull -

Towards the end of the half, Oxford looked increasingly likely to score

Oxford Alamo charged and charged again

To be honest, Oxford were appalling

Not sure how you reconcile the first two comments with the latter! We were poor at set pieces and missed our chances. But appalling? No. We were appalling at Bradford on Saturday. Last night we just lacked any sort of edge.

All I can say is "well done". You reorganised well after the sending off and kept us out. I thought we played well apart from passing, converting chances, taking corners, taking free kicks and defending.

Your 300 fans did well too. I do hate you.

Come on, they didn't, did they?

I'll give you a pound if you can quote (without the aid of Google) the relevant section of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 which pertains to stop and search.

Matt.

We have a lawyer in OxVox (our fan's organisation) who has confirmed exactly what the police can and can't do under Section 60. Believe me, they went well beyond. We also have the Football Supporters' Federation' lawyer taking statements in order to build a case against TVP.

Anyway, disastrous result at Bradford - we were diabolical second half but it's highly unlikely we'll be so bad on Tuesday. I'm going for a narrow Ox win.

Hope it is a good game, with no trouble!

*There's only one yellow army

Yeh, I was at the 3-3 when we spectacularly salvaged a draw after leading 3-0.

I think you had about 300 fans there that night but made good noise.

The only "trouble" will be caused by police trying to provoke reactions, sadly.

The Priory landlord is trying to get an amendment to his lease sorted out by Tuesday, so fingers crossed.

This is the (evil) work of a certain DI Simon Morton, who's been put in charge of a special match day "hooligan squad" based at Oxford nick. Trying to make a name for himself I think.

Torquay fans - don't give them any opportunity to misuse their powers again (not that you would!)

Hopefully our supporters coaches can get home with all windows and such intact this time though..

Thanks for the warning, Oxford Fan

Geez! That was embarrassing. :Oops: Don't know why that happened, there's no "history" at all between our two clubs. Just some rogue idiots I guess.

We have a major problem with TVP at the moment, as a trip to our forum will show - http://www.yellowsforum.co.uk/

There was "trouble" at successive home games with Vale and Shots. At the last home game TVP finally decided to act like police, but went way over the top with illegal body searches, taking of mobile phone numbers, batoning of fans for little or no reason etc. And all this against Northampton who we've never had a problem with!

Hi Gulls fans.

Anyone coming to Oxford next Tuesday? Just a word of warning. The police (TVP) have implemented the strictest interpretation of the lease of the Priory pub near the ground. This means no outside bottle bars in the marquee.

We're expecting 6,500-7,000 fans so the remaining inside bar will be rammed!
