Uruguayan defender Mateo Corbo has now signed a professional contract with Oxford until the end of the season, following a brief trial period. Corbo has played for Oviedo, River Plate (not that one, a Uruguay version) and, most exotic of all, Barnsley. He holds a joint Uruguayan/Italian passport, so he isn’t subject to any bizarre  [ more ]

Dear Rage On Please could you pass on my thanks to the following: 1. Unknown Oxford fan who handed in my plastic card wallet at the Bury game on 3rd January. It wasn’t until I got back to my car after the match, that I realised that it had somehow come out of my back  [ more ]

A second goal in two games from Jamie Brooks earned United a well-deserved point at Darlington this windy afternoon, and they could have had three if they’d managed to convert one of several decent chances. At the end, though, Oxford were thankful for some last-ditch defending to escape with the draw. Adolfo Gregorio gave the  [ more ]

United make the long trip to Darlington tomorrow (actually the team went up today, but that’s beside the point) for a tricky looking fixture against an in-form team (well, they’ve won their last two games). Oxford have hit a small run of form themselves (unbeaten in two – wow!), especially away from home (won one  [ more ]

The next edition of Rage On has been put back by a fortnight. It was originally scheduled to be on sale prior to the Yeovil game on 15 January, but will now be sold before the Bristol Rovers match on 29 January. The deadline for contributions has also shifted by two weeks, and is now  [ more ]

Ramon Diaz and Giuliana Iacoppi were both in attendance for this game, which saw a United side with a blend of youth and experience take to the field in a 4-4-2, with Paul Wanless partnering Angus Mackay at centre-half and Rob Wolleaston and Mark E’Beyer in the middle of the park. The scene was very  [ more ]

Forever Bury 6 Raging Fever 3 Raging Fever made the long trip up North to find that the already impressive Bury outfit has got even younger and more organised since our last meeting, and a spirited, battling performance from the Oxford fans could not prevent another hatful of goals from being conceded on a muddy  [ more ]

Oxford kept their first clean sheet since the end of October as they held Bury to a goalless draw at Gigg Lane this afternoon. This also maintained their unbeaten away record since Ramon Diaz took charge, with three draws on the road. Oxford were under the cosh for most of this match, and had no  [ more ]

Oxford complete their festive period of games tomorrow with a visit to Bury, where they won 4-0 last season. Bury are just one place above Oxford, level on points but with a superior goal difference. The Shakers haven’t won since the end of November, losing their last two games without scoring a goal. Oxford will  [ more ]

United have a 100 percent record in 2005, thanks to one of their most resilient performances since moving to the KasStad, against local neighbours Wycombe Wanderers, wearing their new year comedy kit. The opening goal came midway through the first half when Tommy Mooney set up Jamie Brooks to score the first goal since he  [ more ]
