FT: #oufc 0 #rufc 4 All over, although the result has been in the bag for some time. Nightmare evening for the U's.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 05 March 2013
9:19pm
#oufc 0 #rufc 4 Capaldi on for Whing, who presumably can't get through 90 mins yet.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 05 March 2013

#oufc 0 #rufc 4 The chanting continues and is getting louder. Amazing.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 05 March 2013
9:12pm
#oufc 0 #rufc 4 Fans in the Oxford Mail Stand showing admirable commitment, doing their best to back the side.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 05 March 2013
9:05pm
#oufc 0 #rufc 4 Frecklington almost in for no 5, but Raynes clears off the line.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 05 March 2013
8:49pm
#oufc 0 #rufc 4 Double change as we begin for the second half. Duberry and Heslop come off, Parker and Davies on.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 05 March 2013
8:35pm
HT: #oufc 0 #rufc 4 Boos from the home fans after the U's concede four in 14 mins. They're playing for pride now, this game is over.

Shambles at the Kassam @OxfordMailOUFC

@OxfordMailOUFC not sure why we have gone to a back 3 tonight after looking so solid in recent games. Fleetwood all over again.
— @MatthewPassey 05 March 2013
8:30pm
GOAL! #oufc 0 #rufc 4 (Pringle 44) Nightmare as Pringle runs in for a tap-in.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 05 March 2013
8:27pm
GOAL! #oufc 0 #rufc 3 (Mullins 41) U's all over the place at the back and Mullins buries a shot into the corner.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 05 March 2013
8:23pm
#oufc 0 #rufc 2 Whing and Warrington gingerly get to their feet after some treatment, should be fine to continue.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 05 March 2013
8:22pm
#oufc 0 #rufc 2 Great whipped fk by Rigg just needs someone to get a touch. Whing goes in with the GK and stays down.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 05 March 2013
8:19pm
GOAL! #oufc 0 #rufc 2 (Arnason 33) Double blow for the U's, as Arnason heads in at a corner. No man on the back post for Oxford.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 05 March 2013
8:16pm
GOAL! #oufc 0 #rufc 1 (Noble 30) Noble's low shot from range takes a wicked deflection, but McCormick may be disappointed not to save.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 05 March 2013
8:10pm
#oufc 0 #rufc 0 First chance and it falls to the hosts. Really good move, Potter to Batt, who squares for Rigg to shoot wide from 12 yds.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 05 March 2013
8:10pm
8:09pm
#oufc 0 #rufc 0 Wilder and Evans having a bit of a ding dong already about a refereeing decision. Worth watching that battle develop.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 05 March 2013
7:59pm
#oufc 0 #rufc 0 Potter absolutely bursting with confidence, he's v lively again. Shouts for a handball in the box by Frecklington but no pen
— @OxfordMailOUFC 05 March 2013
7:56pm
#oufc 0 #rufc 0 Big jeers all round from the home fans as Steve Evans comes out into his technical area flailing his arms.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 05 March 2013
7:54pm
#oufc 0 #rufc 0 Rotherham in as U's wait for an offside flag which never comes, but Wright superbly gets in to deny Nardiello.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 05 March 2013
7:51pm
#oufc 0 #rufc 0 Rigg comes inside and drills a shot in. It's wide, but gets the crowd going.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 05 March 2013
7:45pm
#oufc 0 #rufc 0 Away we go, U's attacking the car park end in the first half.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 05 March 2013
7:42pm
@OxfordMailOUFC they must have a long throw expert, and this is a ploy to thwart them?
— @SteveButcher72 05 March 2013
7:42pm
Think #rufc do have a long throw specialist, so don't think it's a coincidence. Interesting.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 05 March 2013
7:38pm
Looks like the advertising boards have been moved towards the touchline. No Capaldi so no long throws for #oufc. http://t.co/bAALfd6jXI
— @OxfordMailOUFC 05 March 2013
7:33pm
@OxfordMailOUFC we are going to play out wide, with two ballwinners sitting in midfield. They are playing thru the middle and sitting back.
— @highlandyellow 05 March 2013
7:33pm
#rufc have needed very late equalisers in their last two games to earn draws against York and Southend. #oufc, you have been warned.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 05 March 2013
7:33pm
Both sides in decent nick, #oufc have taken 10pts from their last 4 games, #rufc 11pts from their last 5.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 05 March 2013
7:32pm
@OxfordMailOUFC hoping for a win, but 3 in a row? Would be awesome if they did.
— @mickc1962 05 March 2013

#oufc warming up under the floodlights. http://t.co/ngDwQoBDc9
— @OxfordMailOUFC 05 March 2013
7:28pm
A win tonight would take #oufc up to 8th, five points behind tonight's opponents, who start the night 7th.

Us - sure fire winners this evening - will have much more of the play - and only need to take those chances - they will do so!!
7:25pm
You're right there, Ian. Mullins didn't look great at RB that night, maybe Rigg can expose him. He's played most of his games at CB recently
— @OxfordMailOUFC 05 March 2013
7:23pm
Montrose has a hamstring problem, which is why he's not been involved in the last two games. #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 05 March 2013
7:23pm
@OxfordMailOUFC Whats the latest on Lewis Montrose, if hes fit and dropped then why don't we send him back #WASTE

@OxfordMailOUFC he had his wrist game for oufc at right back, port vale away on the television!
— @oufcwestoxon76 05 March 2013
7:21pm
#rufc unchanged from their 1-1 draw at Southend, it they only have six subs. No-one is sure why.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 05 March 2013
7:21pm
@OxfordMailOUFC 1-0 to #oufc Smalley '65
— @Hicko11 05 March 2013

@OxfordMailOUFC London Welsh 13-19 Saracen..............oh sorry Oxford 12-0 Rotherham
— @JDK_ 05 March 2013
7:20pm
#rufc press guys think their lads will be 4-2-3-1. Mullins, who played 8 games for #oufc in the autumn, is their skipper & is at right back.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 05 March 2013
7:17pm
#rufc subs v #oufc: Slew, Bradley, Odejayi, Morgan, Agard, Thompson

— @albinoboy777 05 March 2013

@OxfordMailOUFC hoping for at least a 1-0 win. Potter to score 1 at least
— @JamesAPittaway 05 March 2013

@OxfordMailOUFC 1-1 Beano

7:09pm
Good stuff @darrenviney that's what we like to see. The world's not stopped here at #oufc tonight, there's 3 precious points to play for!
— @OxfordMailOUFC 05 March 2013
7:05pm
Think three big games in eight days may be a bit much for Capaldi in midfield. Heslop, who missed out on Sat after playing at Gills, back in
— @OxfordMailOUFC 05 March 2013
7:05pm
Scratch that, #oufc played with 3 CBs in the 1st half at Fleetwood. Here's hoping the players forget that and remember Bradford.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 05 March 2013
7:05pm
@OxfordMailOUFC win would cap a perfect week against top 7 opposition, missing the Man U v Real game for this! #priorities 2-1 Oxford COYY
— @darrenviney 05 March 2013
7:02pm
@OxfordMailOUFC Feel for Capaldi who did well at the weekend but in the last two, Wilder has got his tactics spot on
— @petechilton 05 March 2013
7:02pm
@OxfordMailOUFC I would stop short of huge and settle for quite big. Win tonight tho and THEN every game is HUGE!
— @petechilton 05 March 2013
7:02pm
Wilder hinted he might freshen things up after Sat and he sticks to his word. #oufc haven't played 3-4-3 since winning at Bradford in Jan.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 05 March 2013
7:00pm
3 changes for #oufc & a change of shape. Duberry back as one of 3 centre backs, Whing and Heslop come in for Chapman and Capaldi in midfield
— @OxfordMailOUFC 05 March 2013
7:00pm
@OUFClive @OxfordMailOUFC can I dream about another 3 Pts against a promotion chaser or is it over confidence? Screw it 4-0 Oxford! #COYY
— @realpaulhawtin 05 March 2013
7:00pm
Evening everyone, how are we all feeling tonight? Another huge game for #oufc (they all are at this time of year) with Rotherham in town.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 05 March 2013

#oufc subs: Crocombe, Constable, Craddock, Capaldi, Worley, Parker, Davies
— @OxfordMailOUFC 05 March 2013

#oufc XI v Rotherham: McCormick, Raynes, Duberry, Wright, Batt, Heslop, Whing, Davis, Potter, Smalley, Rigg

I hear at Fire Appliance has been called to the Kassam, is that because there is a fire practice at half time ?? all going home before they go down.
