Watching Oxford v Portsmouth whilst I appreciate there is a good deal of nerves, pressure, lack of recent games and crowd I am surprised and a little shocked at how poor the standard is. Scottish football gets a lot of stick but this is eye bleeding stuff. Like watching Hearts under Levein only worse.
Watched Oxford in a FA Cup tie against Newcastle United, they were terrific second half and got a two two draw, they were two zip behind at half time, though they eventually lost 3 2 in ETQuote:

I went down to the Bradford v Millwall playoff final a few years ago, and it was up there with one of the worst games of football I've ever been at.
Yep, I did mean Fleetwood 😆Quote:

I suppose you did because every game up here is a cracker.
No I did so because I was genuinely surprised how poor the standard was. Scottish football is often compared to top end league one lower championship and if this is top end league one it was very poor.Quote:

Bear in mind that Accrington also have our own John Doolan on the backroom staff too. I went down to see them this season v Lincoln and it’s a great wee club. You’re obviously right about Joey Barton. Looked positively weird the other night in his Mac, hat and glasses.Quote:
