Oxford United manager thrilled by local derby triumph (From Herald Series)

Wonderful strike by Potter, master-stroke to have someone lethal come off the bench, credit to Wilder and the side. Great atmosphere and the roof lifted off in the 88th minute. Thank You.

Chris Wilder 3 Paulo Di Canio 0.
Whatever happens in next week or so, three wins against STFC will never be forgotten.

Just think what we can do when Peter Leven, Andy Whing, Harry Worley, Dubes, Liam Davis, Sean Rigg are all fit?

As usual nothing coming out of OUFC regarding them, but still a great win over the scumdon.

I needed a couple of pints after last night match, just to be able to speak.

A well deserved victory where nobody can question the manner or the commitment of the team. Top man CW, I'm not always your biggest fan but when faced with a difficult set of circumstances you told the players exactly what they needed to do "leave everything on the pitch".
Whatever the week ahead holds I'm always going to remember the 'hat-trick' against Swindon. Well done.

Well done to the whole team and management. Not the prettiest of games a few longs punts up field but who cares! We won again! Would have prefered it to be a league fixture again but never mind theres always next season or the FA cup. I am glad Potter didn't start as PDC would have prob told his players to kick him and we can't afford another injury! Roll on saturday another big test now lets focus on the league and whoever we get in the JPT can wait for a while!

I took my daughter to her first swindon derby and she was overwhelmed with the passion of the players & suporters comparing the vibe to wembly if not better because of the compact size of the kassam. Thank you everyone for the memory you have helped create between father and daughter. Ps...She loves potter.

Thats what we wanted to see, great commitment ! What support !
BUT please can the coaching staff explain the OFF-SIDE rule to James Constable(Beano) I sit in the upper south stand and constantly count Beano coming from an off-side position time and time again, last night 15 times at least ! This renders him totally ineffective as an attacker.If he could learn to look across his line he would go from good player to GREAT player ! We will likely get promotion but we have to build a much better attacking force soon otherwise we'll dip out again.

My Friend and I we are in our sixties we’re just coming out of the Vue cinema and walked outside into what I can describe as a mop of males charging at each other and some were kicked on the ground.
The police charged towards them to take control of the situation ,This was 7:30 in the evening we were terrified and rushed to the car . These lowlifes were all around and I was shocked to see some of the spectators laughing and taking photos on their phones and it was not just young males but also middle aged males.
They had no regard for anyone’s safety we saw a little boy with his dad and he was white with shock The police soon had control of the mob with the aid of the mounted police and dogs .It felt like we were trapped for hours I can only imagine what people must feel in the middle of a riot. TERRIFIED This is unacceptable behaviour and if this is the norm I suggest that the football grounds be removed from places such as this and put in the middle of nowhere.

Not condeming but how about you ask for the OZONE complex and the VUE to be removed from our football club?

No wonder the traffic flow and parking is so poor when numpties go an watch the cinema on a matchday against our arch rivals which had been predicted to be policed heavily.

You....don't think the Kassam is already in the middle of nowhere?

With the bitter rivalry felt between Oxford and Swindon fans, there will always be a risk for trouble. Unfortunately innocent people get caught up in this stupidity. It would have been smart of the police to have restricted access to and from the Ozone at least 30 minutes before and after the game.
Otherwise, a great night for Oxford fans.

Roper I am condem what happened last night outside the ground but didn't you think about checking the football fixtures before deciding going to watch a film? It was all over the oxford mail that its was being played last night. We didn't have a choice about where our ground was placed I think atleast 99% of people would still like to going up the Manor and not to a 3 sided stadium Kassam doesn't care about! Anyway great win! They just can't beat us anymore!

Here is a very famous Chorus (Hot Chocolate . . . So you win Again) for the poor snivelling 3 time losers from Swinedon to sing

Now I'm the one who's crying
I'm a fool there's no denying
When will my heartache end?
Will my whole life depend on fading memories
You took the game this time with ease
So you win again, you win again



HA hahahahahahahahahaha
hahaHA!!!!!
Here I stand again, the loser

This game was less about the football and more about the managers. Wilder must be given great credit for the way he set the side up and made Swindon's game a messy one. Meanhwile Di Canio continues to manage with his mouth. He's heaped unnecessary pressure on his players before each of these games by silly pre-match posturing. And he'll create disharmony if he keeps mouthing off about specific players in public.(Aden Flint's his latest target). His best bet for being a great coach is if they take his teeth out and put seats in.

Its remarks like this from idiots that give football supporters a bad name......

I think we have a slight exaggeration of what went on out side the ground
maybe the police will confirm this on here.
Yes we had groups of males ( Oxford) looking for Swindon fans, and that for the main part is all Looking!!!! is that right? maybe not but like it or not the facts are Oxford fans on the whole hate Swindon town and their fans whilst I don't really believe they ( Swindon) have the same feeling and even they don't understand it.
When Swindon supporters turn up at the ground those on coaches are under escort and the police do a very good job in getting them to the ground safely.
As for those who make their own way and those who turn to their key boards to tell the world how they are coming to fight and all that nonsense, have a remarkable talent in making themselves invisible until they are behind the safety of a large body of police then they get their bravery back.
To conclude would their be trouble if the police were not there in numbers? who knows but my gut feeling is no simply they (the Swindon supporters) would not come!! so no.
The police once again done a very good job overall and I suspect there were less arrests than on a normal Saturday night on the town.
When Oxford played Swindon at Swindon, Oxford fans went exactly where they wanted without any problems so maybe some like to exaggerate what exactly happens, but if it makes you happy who am i to criticize.

And to be fair the Kassam Stadium was there before the OZONE was.

Of course the Kassam was there before. As I said Roper I am not condeming these idiots who run around waving their arms.

However, you suggested the club move its ground. It's remarks like that which wind people up. The club was here first. The club's Kassam Stadium is in the middle of nowhere. You have stereo-typed football supporters and would like them to be penned in somewhere.

The clear facts are, it was quite obvious to anyone who knew a football match was on, that it was probably best to stay away from the area for several reasons, one because of the fierce derby and probable ugly scenes including chanting, two it was widely reported about the heavy police situation, in the afternoon trouble had already started in the Town and finally the parking would be horrendous - despite people just turning up to catch a film.

Again you're the contributor who suggested the stadium be removed and it was a silly silly suggestion. More thought on your part this time would have been sensible.

Is it just me or has anybody else noticed how quiet the Swine fans have gone on this trail?????????


Ha ha haaaaaaaaa


Must be horrible to have lost to Oxford 3 times in year. I know we all would hate it if they had done it to us . . .with or without promotion. Oh well!

Yes they are very quite OxRoxBox! Don't think LeGob knows what to do! It's got to be the longest they haven't posted on the OXFORD Mail. I thought I would take to oppotunity to post on the Scum advertiser about us winning again. Then the excuses started from them! HAHA Roll on the good time!

I think you'll find it was not the case when you visited Swindon - as again is was segregated and police escorts were arranged - if you wanted to take the chance and go your own way - that become the individuals own risk - like in any town or city there are the ones who want to make life difficult ,and can remember even with the Police escort they were trying to get at the Oxford away supporters.

You seem to be trying to build up something out of nothing with regards to your own supporters. Even if there were a few looking for trouble - like you said no different to any Saturday / Friday in most town centres.

I am a senior lady and know nothing about football and it was not obvious to me I made a big mistake going to the cinema it was very frightening However, in the future I will be checking before I go anywhere near there.
I believe that there are a number of hooligan who caused the trouble and I may have been harsh in judging everyone by their standards. Looking at the comments most people just want to have a good night out just like me …
