Oxford United (h) - 09/12/25

[Exiled in Toronto Mk2]

Has Miller completed a pass?

Has Morishta trapped a ball?

Has Ohashi ever beaten someone one-on-one?

Has Pears ever saved anything by staying on his line?

[BankEnd Rover]

Firstly I'd like the game stopped, this pitch is unplayable.

Secondly Lewis Miller is fucking shite.

Thirdly how the hell are we loosing to these lot.

League one here we come 

If we keep getting inept officials like this we are, yes. 

Unbelievable - lad should be stacking shelves. 

[benhben]

Id take relegation and administration if it purged the current lot out.

Imagine a club ran by people who cared. We may never have the funds to compete at the top now but at least decisions would be honest and with good intention 

[Paul Mellelieu]

They were going to score from a set piece sooner or later.

[des]

Our midfield cannot defend tonnage there life's and passing is not much better not looking good at all

[pick32]

Cantwell for Tavares we win this 3-1

So should Ismael, Pasha, Gestede and many of our players!

Give over. You don't win one home game by the middle of December because of referees.

This is the worst Rovers team in my lifetime and I don't think it's close.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Exiled,stop blaming the Ref....we're fookin dogshit fella.

[Bbrovers2288]

We are terrible at defending balls into our box , how many bouncing balls in our box goals have we conceded this season. 
 

sorry I can’t watch another half of that, it’s that bad I can’t even muster the energy to watch it on the tv 

[Devon Rover]

Not a surprise and the only sad thing is I feel very little.

Playing to their game. Oxford are hoofing it and have still enjoyed more possession than us in the first half. We miss Tronstad/Forshaw to take control of this game. Soft goal let in again, Miller gave away a needless freekick there - should be replaced in January.

Oh dear, poor defending, but they got the run of the ball as it dropped perfectly for the goal scorer. 

It dropped perfectly because Pears flapped again. You can see in the replay he thinks about coming then changes his mind. Typical indecision has cost us again.

[RevidgeBlue]

Ismael will no doubt be moaning again that a foul should have been given when one of the Oxford players accidentally headed the back of (Miller's ?) head but you have to play to the whistle.

That rivalled the QPR game in terms of being shite. Wish Ismael would just fuck off.

Tavares is a really poor buy - who authorised that one?

You can see he's a talented player (technically), but he plays the game in slow motion. 

Absolute definition of a “doesn’t fancy it” player. Looks like he’s being made to play his mate’s charity match.

[G Somerset Rover]

The relegation thread is gonna be on fire after tonight.

[waynerovers]

switching over to champions league, hopefully the heavens open and it gets called off

You're playing up to it at this point.

Absolutely naff all to do with Pears.

He has the energy and motivation of someone on death row.

In fairness by the rules the main thing the referee has got wrong is not giving them a penalty for handball after 5 minutes, would feel harsh but was most likely a penalty given how far it travelled before he handled it.

We are really awful though even if we went in 0-0 it would have been one of the more depressing halves I remember.

Lose this and we are properly in the mire after looking like getting some distance from the drop zone

[neophox]

Watching this dross in the night in Thailand...poor.

Only if he takes the rest of the detritus with him!
