Veterans's Cup Success - some comments on the board
Liam Carroll:
WELL DONE TO ALL THE LADS FOR A FANTASTIC RESULT!
I managed to watch parts of the game from my sick-bed on Sky inter-active & what a header from Julio for the winner.
Great header `fifty-pence-head`!
Also good to see the white suits out for the final;
McRodders & Clanfield-Fonty looking like `the Jackson-2`, Lobber like a Colombian drugs-baron, Tim like Will Young, Creedy like `Dirk Diggler`, Julio like his Dad, Holdy like Duncan Norvelle & Jools like `Tattoo` from Fantasy Island!!! (Thanks for the medal mate).
I hope you all enjoyed the hospitality I laid on for you at The Bear Hotel, my staff confirmed your attendance was their pleasure.
Hope to see you all Wednesday.
Regards,
Big Liam.
Shaun Bradbury:
If only our detailed reporting matched our performance on the night!
You boys have too much time on your hands……………. keep it up!
Rodders humorous Canadian ski stories helped ease any potential pre match nerves but maybe relaxed us too much.
Bogarts seems to have closed for a refit (I don’t get out too much these days) but with a swift turn of pace I still managed to get last orders on a cheese and chilli spud at Monroes.
The after match party at the Kings arms, Woodstock, was a welcome bonus and Sykesy welcoming us in for a few sherberts took us all back to our fondest days in the paradise, although he does shut a little earlier than he did in the old days.
To win a trophy at our age and have a medal thrown in is pretty special, but the banter both before and after games is what makes it all worthwhile.
Many thanks to gaffer Creedy for his sterling work this year in preparing the side for competition.
If you can grow the porno moustache as promised I will try for the 80’s footballer’s mullet for our end of season soiree what ever date is finalised.
I’m still smarting from the news I will miss the Karaoke evening, as my rendition of Robbie’s ‘Angels’ cannot be missed.
We haven’t mentioned the tremendous support all the players have received from the Oxford City ‘family’ so I will take this opportunity to thank Colin, Paul and all the gang on making every game feel like a home fixture.
Mark O'Hara:
Just got in,unfortunatley a sad end to a good night,Fleety's varacous vein burst and he's up the JR,Jules did come back out but got knocked out when he banged his head on someones belt buckle whilst at the bar,and Fonte's zimmer frame got stolen when he was changing his culostomy bag in the toilet.
On the plus side Creedy has agreed to grow his porn moustache for the final at Rushden.
Paul Creeed:
welldone lads not the best,but a wins a win
Thanks for the surport sorry to disappoint.
ocfc have awarded me a mid season break to ireland,to give me time to think over next season and asked weather i could run the under 5's 6's 7's 35's 40's sunday team ( national) and bingo calling on monday's..any way i'm off to see and old friend and city boy BRIAN FLANNERY (mid 80's winger,long hair, no stamina).
He's put me up in his uncle mick's hotel, with there children ,brother mick,sister mick,baby mick,and granma mick and the now deceased grampa mick.they say he's in me bed!! colin taylor has lent me a city shirt, and with camara, will be trying to fly the hoops, and gain more support from over the sea..will try and get on the message board over the weekend,to see how the lads are doing sunday. good luck to all who wear the city hoops this weekend..creedy
Wayne Holder:
Just got in myself after wandering around Woodstock all night trying to find a taxi. Ended up standing on the A44 trying to hitch a ride back to Oxford only to suffer loads of abuse from most cars who were passing. "Who ate all the pies", "F*** off back to the City Big nose", "Barry Manilow" to name just a few. Eventually picked up at 3am by some country bumpkin, fell asleep, and woke up at 7 this morning in a stable in Banbury next to some pig (the animal sort). Finally got a train back to Oxford at 10am. The Mrs was delighted to see me. I told her the game went to extra time, and we won 452-451 on penalties. I showed her my winners medal, and you can guess what she did with that???
Fleety was last seen heading back to Old Hooky to look for the number 11 who shouted after only 10 minutes of the game, "Come on lads he can't kick".
The Milli Vanilli pair or Fonty and McRodders booked themselves into the hotel for the night. The confidence in these young fellows is there to see, as they both booked themselves with a room each and a king size bed.
Bradders ended up back down at Bogarts, but was turned away when he tried to get in with his gold membership card that expired in 1985.
Creedy is currently in the local woodstock police station, after getting arrested for doing his party trick outside Blenheim Palace.
Smyler is still trying to chat up the 65 year old millionaire bloke sat at the bar drinking out of his own half pint mug.
Watsy is still driving round Woodstock trying to find a Mcdonalds.
Marco spent all night selling insurance to all the very rich people in the Kings Arms.
Enough about our exploits last night, let's go on to the game. As Jules has already stated, we didn't perform on the night, but it's the result that counts at the end. An ugly 1-0 win. The only thing that was not ugly on the night was Julio's winner (and Bradders of course). A goal worthy of winning any final. Did you see that winner by Fenerbahce against Chelsea last night? Well it was nothing like that. And to cap off a great night, Bicester lost to Chinnor in the league, meaning we only need 2 wins out of the last 4 to claim the league & Cup double in our first season. Bring on the Premier boys next season.
We are all off now to board the open top bus to parade the cup through the streets of Oxford.
Have a good game down at Wales (Ian Beale) on Sunday, boyo's.
Have a good weekend in Ireland, Creedy. Send my regards to Flanners and Mickey & also to Paddy, Patrick, Mick, Paddy, Patrick, Mick, Mick, Mick & Paddy.
Signing off for another week.

Julian Dark:
We were all very disappointed with our performance this evening, we were shocking. Hooky will feel disappointed that their hard work (and they did work bloody hard getting right in our faces) didn't really create a clear cut chance that they could score from.
Julio's goal was scored in the last 10 minutes as they tired and we finally passed the ball three times to a City shirt to set up a decent cross for him to nod home from about 7 yards.
Obviously the result is the important thing as we won the cup, but celebrations were certainly mooted in view of being a bit embarrassed for not having played as well as we have done so far this season. Every pass or through ball just went 'wrong' for the City players tonight.
Anyway, no one will remember the performance after tomorrow so it's not really an issue I guess.
Hopefully if we get promoted at the end of this season, then we'll be able to give Hooky a proper game at our place and show them how well we can actually play.
Cheers, I am getting another beer from the garage, the lads all stopped off at the Kings Arms in Woodstock but I had to get Lewis home for school tomorrow, tempted to drive back out actually.....
