[Archived] Newport

[Speedie Dived]

That's twice that lad has gone down very easily now.

[1arC]

So it was worse than Keane on Haaland?

Come on Jordan lad.

Nope

[ABBEY]

Who gone off

[donnermeat]

Doesn't need to be deliberate, or have intent, to be a red card.

[Tom]

Who gone off

There's no Hope remaining

Edit no it was Bennett

[Neal]

Anyone else not see the sense in playing an apparent 12 million pound striker in a cup game that's not priority?

[Speedie Dived]

Make that three times for the soft arse left back.

[AdamRochina]

So lawrence right aftwr been told off from the ref does the exact same thing again

[Mike E]

HOW THE @#/? WAS THAT A YELLOW???

[mustard]

Also very late if you pause it when he actually makes contact , ball well away

Oh yeah it is late, but I don't think it's a red. It's lazy and clumsy but he's playing the ball. Ref has been awful so far. The Newport players are going down easily and he's buying it.

[cesus]

Nothing going be given by the ref until he looked at the injured lads leg I'd say from seeing the BBC replay.

You'll have to ask the ref that one mate

[Speedie Dived]

So lawrence right aftwr been told off from the ref does the exact same thing again

Seriously? He kicked the bottom of Lawrence's boot. Just shutting his man down.

[Stuart]

You expect a midfielder to close down if he is playing as a centre forward but are happy that a centreforward doesn't close down?

Let us hope that Rhodes is an improvement.

Nope but as always the double standards on here are palpable. Why should Lawrence get a free pass if he is contributing NOTHING?

As it is, it looks like Lambert doesn't want a draw here. Two forwards - unless you don't count Lawrence.

[AdamRochina]

Seriously? He kicked the bottom of Lawrence's boot. Just shutting his man down.

It's the fact he went in the way he did right aftwr a telling off

Also it is frightening how bad we are and how we don't ever look like scoring from open play

[Speedie Dived]

It's the fact he went in the way he did right aftwr a telling off

Nothing wrong with the way he went in at all.

[pjt]

First time I have seen a player get a yellow with no contact. The ref is defo of the look at me I'm the ref variety. I think their manager may also have said to make it look like you've been shot every time theres a challenge.

[AdamRochina]

Nothing wrong with the way he went in at all.

According to the ref he feels different

[OJRovers]

I hope Lambert makes the squad watch this back, it's embarassing how bad we are.

[1arC]

I see Abartawe are one up against Watford!

[McClarky]

Anyone else not see the sense in playing an apparent 12 million pound striker in a cup game that's not priority?

Not priority? Surely this is our biggest game of the season so far. Why would the cup not be priority when we're languishing in lower mid table and skint?

[Speedie Dived]

According to the ref he feels different

Well he was wrong.

[koi]

You just know that those two commentating are taking the p!ss out of us.

[Spankus Munky]

First time I have seen a player get a yellow with no contact. The ref is defo of the look at me I'm the ref variety.

Are we sure Brunei isn't missing a Steve?

[RevidgeBlue]

Clear yellow card for Lawrence, 2 stupid challenges one after another. Almost like he's trying to get himself sent off early as well.

These players really are a disgrace to the shirt the way they're performing at the moment.
