There is a text message service you can report such behaviour, with a seat number and stand. The club stewards will then monitor the area and try and witness it themselves. The number is on the advertising hoardings facing the stands and on the back of your tickets. The offender was stood on the terraces. I was talking about our home games. I don't know what brizzle have similar.

Seconded. Disgraceful that anyone would say that stuff and totally understand any reluctance to speak out about it on the terraces. I would like to think 99.9% of supporters feel the way you do but it is a very risky thing to say something there and then. What is the club policy for reporting this stuff? There is a text message service you can report such behaviour, with a seat number and stand. The club stewards will then monitor the area and try and witness it themselves. The number is on the advertising hoardings facing the stands and on the back of your tickets. Problem being, as I said, that the stewards heard it all and ignored it. It didn't need flagging - they were there and heard it with their own ears. And, as stated previously, when I challenged people for racist behaviour there last year I was the one treated like I was in the wrong and forced to move away. The infrastructure may be there - numbers to report things via, official channels, websites, organisations etc - but it doesn't mean anything if the people on the ground turn a blind eye and either ignore or actively encourage it. The system only works if those at the bottom of the chain, be that stewards or the general public, buy into it. Sadly it appears that we still aren't anywhere near that happening.

Lets just say... at OUFC, the club will send another couple of stewards who can be trusted to deal with such behaviour. I agree, everyone needs to stand up to such behaviour or it becomes accepted practice.

He only gestured after getting grief from our fans.. Where were you stood? He hadn't had any grief hurled at him before the foul (that didn't look like a foul) was given, cue a few ironic cheers from the terrace. It was only after him cupping his ears that he really got it. In my opinion it was just some Maguire-esque s**thousery at the earliest opportunity. I was on the side, in line with edge of pen area. He only cupped his ears after he got a decent amount of verbals and sign gestures. He definitely reacted to what was being chanted, as opposed to him actually initiating anything. I'm not party what happened in his last few months with us, but regardless of what happened I think it is a shame he didn't get a decent reception from us. He was an excellent player for us. Whereas Slocombe who was distinctly average / poor for us got a better reception!! On the plus side I think it is great when we chant and get behind individual players. You can see they really appreciate it, although Xemi looked a bit embarrassed when he got a few chants as he was warming up. At the end it was great when we were chanting for Ricardinho, again you could clearly see he was loving it.

Was convinced Thomas wasn't offside for the disallowed Payne goal. Think this confirms he wasn't. Luckily it didn't matter. Attachments:

I got off at Didcot around 9.30 and there were a bunch of lads singing a Ricardinho song, to the tune of “Dancing in September”:
We’ve got We’ve got Ricardinho He’s not He’s not Ronaldinho (I think) Never gives the ball awaaaaaaaay

I was probably a few metres down to your right, and I can't remember anyone seriously having a go at Sercs. I know the guys around me were saying what a servant he was to the club. Obviously there were a few that were giving him stick, but not enough to merit that sort of reponse in my eyes. But it happened and we got the win, which is far more important going into Charlton and Rotherham. I did like Xemi's grin when he was warming up, I think he's got a lot more to show once he gets up to speed with the physicality of the EFL but I like what I've seen so far from him. As for Ricardinho, it's only going to increase his confidence.

Disappointed to hear there was racism in the stands yesterday. I remember being at the Wembley final against Barnsley when one of our 'fans' decided to call an asian Barnsley fan a terrorist. Nearly throttled him. As a Leeds resident, I'm in the train station regularly. Badly timed my train home yesterday when the station was full of Leeds, Reading and also Middlesborough fans going home after the game. Makes you realise how scummy some football fans are, even making comments at commuters for absolutely no reason.
These so-called fans are probably not on this forum because the thick idiots won't be able to string a proper sentence together. All the rest of us can do is condemn it when we hear it. I for one won't hesitate in telling someone to "shut the f*ck up" if I hear any racism in amongst Oxford fans, and I'd like to think that in that situation I'd be supported in doing so. Need to make people feel embarrassed and idiotic for their embarrassing and idiotic behaviour.
Anyway, absolutely buzzing that we won! Imagine if we can do a job on Charlton on Tuesday too! C'mon you yellows!!

Did my ears deceive me or was Richardinio getting booed? Didn't hear Ric being booed but Ribs was a couple of times ...probably due to his early years at the other Bristol club... Its still one of the oldest rivalries in football and some supporters genuinely hate each other.

I won't tolerate it and fortunately I'm big enough and fit enough to stand up for myself if necessary, but I like to think anyone making a stance in this situation would have the back up of others around them.
I'm afraid this is a problem in society that will always be with us and all we can do is confront it and put it down when it manifests itself on the terraces.

Ricardinho went down quite easily at the far touchline within the first 5 minutes or so and took his time for throw ins to break up the gas tempo hence the boos from their fans; who whinged about everything!

Since the goal we conceded aginst Peterborough we have scored 8 without reply in the League. I wonder what our longest unbroken sequence is?

I witnessed the comotion at the Wellingtom after the game. All initiated by a bandannered, short of a sandwhich bouncer. Oxford fans returned to what was a friendly mixed pub before the game to a rather different reception. A table of Oxford fans, who all looked like reasonable, nice chaps to me. Where asked to leave for literally no reason. The dull bouncer initially asked them to keep it down (they were making little to no noise, just happy about a win), to then changing his mind and chucking them out. I went in to get a pint having observed this, next thing i know its chaos with riot vans and dogs. If the bouncer wasnt so thick, and the pub was consistent in its welcoming of away fans, the police wouldnt have been needed. Amazing what the affect of one rather dull individual can be. Bristol Post report on pub “ clash “ www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol-news/watch-police-swarm-pub-fight-628496'Attempting to enter the pub'...I think that just reinforces my observation. Fans were returning to the pub which was a friendly mixed pub before the game. Having a different code before and after the game created this situation. I do wonder if it was just the sore-looser of a bouncers code. The whole episode was unnecessarily initiated by him.

Was convinced Thomas wasn't offside for the disallowed Payne goal. Think this confirms he wasn't. Luckily it didn't matter. If that is the pass and not the touch before the pass then it looks onside but WT is leaning forward. Nearly impossible for the linesman to know for sure one way or the other given the pace the game is played at. Very marginal.

Having just watched the extended highlights it confirms that Henry was definitely on the end of a stamp from the Rovers player. Even worse, you can see him stepping onto Henry and twisting his foot. For the ref to then book Henry for protesting with the stud marks clearly visible is derisory. I would hope that the EFL review this and issue the correct punishment for the deliberate action.

Did the reporter watch the match? I didn't but having watched the highlights that is one hell of a big 6 yard box according to his description of the goal in the report. Considering Mowatt was near the edge of the penalty area when he hit it rather than the edge of the 6 yard box.

Having a different code before and after the game created this situation. I do wonder if it was just the sore-looser of a bouncers code. The whole episode was unnecessarily initiated by him. Right these are the facts A number of Oxford fans had and were returning to the Wellington - the Bouncer did ask a group to leave for no real reason apart from that they were celebrating an Oxford win in a Bristol pub BUT the root cause was that a number of "very senior" ( AGE WISE ) Bristol fans were intent on looking for trouble. Their main guy in shorts and blue tee shirt stated he was " going the follow you all around Bristol ! " Without this idiot nothing would of happened. Was sure it was his girlfriend was the horse hitter. Though see looked like a horse. To be fair, a couple of Oxford boys after telling them that we had won and were now going to drink in their pub that it got ugly. Saying that hand bags plus a large Bristol fan being rugby tackled by a policeman was a rare sight. Hey Ho but agree with the sentiment - either you are a home, mixed or away pub and manage accordingly.

As I saw it, and the assistant also I believe.. sending off offence imo.
Ribs booking was harsh too he clearly got a toe to the ball as the Bristol player moved through and his momentum made it look 10 times worse than it was...certainly wasn't a bad foul.
I thought the official was poor to be blunt and I don't generally criticise referees having been one myself in the past.
