Scunthorpe once again proved to be United’s bogey team, as Ian Barraclough scored a last minute goal to deny the Us a hard-earned win. Oxford were under the cosh for much of the game, but they defended resiliently and soaked up everything the Iron threw at them. United took an unlikely lead in the 32nd  [ more ]

Amine Karam, who has put in a couple of excellent performances for United’s reserves, has signed a one-month contract at the club, allowing him to be considered for the first team.

United travel to Field Mill tomorrow to take on Mansfield in a fixture that has lost its importance for the Yellows, and is of no significance to Oxford either.

However, as we were lacking  [ more ]

Oxford United strolled into the semi-finals of the Oxfordshire Senior Cup this evening, seeing off a determined challenge from Carterton.
