Missed it. What did he get sent off for? I looked up in time to see their fella seemingly wrestle Virgo to the ground, but didn't see what what had gone before. Was it deserved?

I think they were both guilty as Virgo had his arms around his neck.

Oh and I think the clue was he got the first of the two red cards.

The aggro was not confined to the pitch.
I don't know if a player can get punished for what goes on after he leaves the field - but that qunt ought to get extra punishment.

What happened NMH?

Because I saw him running after Virgo, and thought that it could well kick off again.

To be honest I think a yellow for both would have sufficed although it's difficult to tell exactly who done what! The ref was very poor tonight though, especially after the sending off where he seemed to turn it wilfully into the "Alan Kettle Show".

I have it on good authority (I know a steward in the north stand) who claims there was a message put out over the radio that there was a fight in the tunnel and back ups where required, but it was very quickly cancelled. So, make of that what you will.

It use to be that all the time you were at the club you could be held accountable by the FA i can't see that law changing.
Yes it looked like akinwhatsucallhim was well up for carrying on with Virgo.

Did they have a scrap in the tunnel?

Saw Akinfenwa running up there and then a load of stewards run over.

Virgo's red card was the best thing to happen last night - three match ban coming up!

I know one of the stewards and it did kick off after, Akinfenwa chased after Virgo and in the melee Akinfenwa hit a steward. He had to be restrained as he was after Virgo, i think he was trying to get away from the stewards and hit one in the face. They both had to be kept apart because Akinfenwa was not happy.
It has been reported to the referee so more bans could loom for Akinfenwa.
