Right I'm of to ref. 4th in the league, 2pts off second, 3rd most wins, 3rd most goals, attendances well up, ground almost purchased, youth team in 4th round of FA Cup, first team 3 wins from Wembley, some terrific work in the community. Excuse me for being happy with Posh #pufc

What a fine act of sportsmanship by Lincoln keeper Josh Vickers yesterday after avoiding Ivan Toney's lunge for the ball in the second-half. As the busy rookie ref came charging over, Vickers leapt to his feet and presumably told ref there was no malice in the challenge. #pufc

THE FA/EFL now insisting on football promotions, but not in non-league of course because down there it doesn't matter. Jersey can't go up even though they won their league in January, but Rotherham can go up in second even though they are just three points clear of eighth. Farce

FULL TIME: #OUFC 0-0 @theposhofficial . The league leaders are unable to claim their 7th consecutive win, and Jonson Clarke-Harris doesn't add to his six goals in the last six games as the visitors were the happier for the point at the end.
