Oxford united -v- Exeter City checkatrade trophy official match day thread

[andrew p long]

Have I missed it -hasn't this been started yet?

Will City field a team of teenagers plus Oakley Woodman and Tisdale?

It'll be a bumper crowd on Grecian Player tonight. I'm assuming its considered important enough to send a commentary team? Speaking of which is it on Radio Devon?

Oakley, Woodman, Tisdale and Butterfield to start!

New disciplinary rules for the competition, mean that cautions and sending-offs are exclusive to the competition.

So the great hulking Oxford players could kick the snot out of our youngsters and get away with it, with penalties being solely for this joke cup!?

Despite this being an easy trip for me, I won't be attending.

I'm going to be a scab tonight, haven't been able to get to any games so far. That's my excuse for attending and I'm sticking to it.

As I'll be saying to the bloke sat next to me...."OOOIIIIIIIIII!!!" (with apologies to Jasper Carrott)
