Well that was a weird old night.
Opted to buy a seat right behind the dugout in the West Lower for a change from my ST seat… wont go there again as if the actions of the Newport bench are a common place event down there, I'd probably burst with stress before we get out of August!!!
JE was very animated and rather entertaining, but seemed to have a lot of contempt for everyone (including his own players) apart from himself. Haven't got a huge problem with his level of swearing personally, but I guess more children were present in that area than normal, hence the complaints on this and other threads… ultimately that's the parents choice though.
The Calderon incident though seemed quite clearly to me as a solid 50/50 ball. Calde didn't win the ball by only fractions and the two players clashed. It wasn't like the game a few years ago at Withdean when Calde clearly stamped on the Charlton player.
So the players get treated, and the ref opts to send Calde off. Cue everyone standing up in annoyance of the decision to send him off because of the injury caused… and cue the Newport bench loising the plot and shouting things like "you f*cking pricks, he's broken his f*cking leg"… to which generally the crowd responded to by saying "yes, but the red is wrong as it was 50/50".. Type stuff.
This went on for a while and quite frankly there were individuals who didn't cover themsleves in glory at all.
Specifically from Newport we had the the pizza delivery guy and two of the unused subs...and in the interests of fairness, some Albion fans in particular were disgraceful too. There was one fat parent carrying child in one hand and doing the w*nker sign to his groin with the other.. Poor child must've only been 2 years old, and may have a destiny to grow up to be a nasty little thug like his low life scum of a father
In the area I was in, I didn't hear any booing of the poor injured player, only sympathetic applause.
What's the end result?
Well we should appeal, but I doubt we'll win it. Newport need to have a word with their staff as their was a huge lack of professionalism there..i guess they are recently non -league, so maybe they just have a lot to learn. Dignity in life goes miles.
I'd also like to see some contrite Albion fans. On a night when we remembered one of our greatest fans, some others showed they were the polar opposite.
But it's nice that football's back isn't it!?
