Oxford
kicked off their league campaign in style with an away win over a
much-fancied Bristol Rovers side. Unfortunately, TBFUTH couldn't be
there to witness it! So, in the absence of a proper match report,
here is the match according to Twitter. If you would be interested in
penning a few match reports for us this season, we would be very
interested to hear from you. Just email tbfuth@hotmail.co.uk!United have been drawn at home to Swindon in the first round of the JPT.

#OUFC Bristol Rovers chairman Nick Higgs has said a 3rd bid for Constable was turned down yesterday and he says that ends their interest.

#oufc finished 11 points ahead of#brfc last season but the Pirates are fourth favourites for promotion in some bookies, just ahead of U's.

4 Chapman drives in a 30-yard shot, but it's straight at Sam Walker in the Bristol goal#oufc

#brfc 0#oufc 0 Potter gets a sight of goal 25 yds out, but his shot is weak. Composed start though.
— Oxford Mail OUFC (@OxfordMailOUFC) August 18, 2012
#brfc 0#oufc 0 Rovers have the ball in the net but it's ruled out for offside. Good thing too, United's defence was all over the place.
— Oxford Mail OUFC (@OxfordMailOUFC) August 18, 2012
22 Brilliant GOAL from Forster-Caskey. Picks the ball up from Chapman on the edge of the area - turns and curls it home 1-0#oufc

#brfc 0#oufc 1 Raynes goes in the book for giving away a fk on edge of the box...Virgo hits the wall.

#BristolRovers 0-2#oufc score a screamer after Smith loses the ball in midfield. Potter ran the length of our half and slotted it in.
— Daryl Parsons (@bs13gas) August 18, 2012
Kudos to James Constable who made a dummy run to take away a covering defender, but the goal was all Potter's#oufc
— Oxford United FC (@OUFClive) August 18, 2012
34 great save by Clarke from a Rovers shot from edge of area to concede a corner, which is cleared#oufc

HT:#brfc 0#oufc 2 Terrific start to the season so far. Spectacular goals from JFC and Potter put the visitors in charge at the break.

#brfc 0#oufc 2 Chapman lucky not to be booked for a rash challenge on edge of the box. Harrold's shot hits the wall.
— Oxford Mail OUFC (@OxfordMailOUFC) August 18, 2012
