Hearing a lot of "Newport County , Al Inglese" which I'm pretty sure means ....the English.

Their commentator is about as well informed as an ITV commentator.

in footballing terms Newport County ARE English, and should actually fall under English jurisdiction in my view, but that's for another thread for another day. Maybe the commentator was more astute than given credit for. He also called Tom King, 'King Kong' on a few occasions.

The fans, and their cultural identity, ARE the club.

Falling under English jurisdiction and being English are 2 separate things. I agree that we should be under the English FA but that doesn't make us an English club, we are a Welsh club playing in an English league

Google translate Arabic to English (couldnt do it to Welsh) has Al Inglese as "The government's ability to support the government's ability to support" not sure what that means though !
In Italian it means "To English".....take your choice.

It's as unlikely that they'll know we're welsh as it is that I know the area of Cairo they play in.

Will Leadbitter's red card earn a suspension, or does the game having been played supposedly behind closed doors mean it won't? Maybe a ban would only cover games in Europe?!

Bearing in mind O'Brien will miss the opener because of his Wembley red.

If it's a red card in a friendly, I suppose he may be banned from the next friendly.

I'm pretty sure that a red card in a friendly carries on to the new season.

Al Ahly ranked 111 in the world rankings
