       Unfortunately haven't been able to make it back to get to the
       game in person, so I'm having to cope with the Sky coverage.
       The usual inconsistencies from Linington, where fouls you expect
       to be given aren't but those at the cheaper end get awarded.
       The Oxford equaliser had a suspicion of offside. A really tight
       call where the benefit went with the attacking side.
       But a new one for me is seeing Brannagan stamp on Cisse off the
       ball, only for the officials to award Oxford a free-kick. Given
       that outcome was made one of the officials must have seen some
       of the incident but a misjudgement. A very lucky boy.
       That would have been a major talking point if Brannagan's cross
       that saw Lankshear hit the bar had dropped in.

       At least a foul throw was picked up. The sarcastic clap was
       appropriately carded.

       He was one of the better SG2 a few seasons ago, but not so now

       I don't think he's ever been an SG1. Yes, he is a very
       experienced SG2 but no more than that, and I believe the fact
       that he was very injury-prone at one point held him back from
       joining the top table.
