Oxford v Portsmouth

Bit of a humdinger !
Portsmouth leading late on before two long distance late strikes by Oxford stole the points ?

I said “stole the points” but Oxford had 76% possession and 28 shots on goal compared to three shots by Portsmouth ? So a very one sided game with Portsmouth seemingly under immense pressure resulting in them collecting 7 yellows and 1 red card, that must be a fine coming up ??
By the way Robertson only came on after 60 minutes, is he injured again or just pacing himself to get through games ?

Ps our 7 point cushion to MK Dons is looking very formidable now

Football Association to launch a investigation into the game.
A total of 11 players booked, plus Portsmouth player Joe Morrell sent off, by referee Samuel Barrott.
The second half delayed, due to a " medical incident " in the tunnel area, later claimed a member
of Oxford United backroom staff, had to receive hospital treatment, after falling & banging his head.

Portsmouth can expect to be fined £2,500 in recognition of having 7 players booked in their 3-2
defeat, with 4 yellow cards for Oxford united.

Quest showed one incident with Hirst Junior leading with his elbow onto the bonce of an OUFC player.
Ref gave him slapped legs

So it’s not just fans that are idiots?

Wonder what happened in the tunnel, with someone requiring hospital treatment,
don't think they tripped over sponge bucket. :P

Shouldn't the 7 players of Portsmouth, who were booked, pay the £2,500 fine between them.

Portsmouth appeal against Joe Morrell red card in the game, has been lost,
so the player will serve a 3 match ban.

I thought 3 became 4 if you appealed and lost or is that discretionary and only to be used against teams with a R O T H E R H A and M in their name XD
