Whenever anyone uses the term “no disrespect” them mean every disrespect cheeky Cnuts I hope they lose in the play offs and are “forced” to visit “miserable” Newport again.

What an unpleasant attitude that journalist has. It's dreadful that Bradford have to make those long journeys to away games., and then it goes and rains, poor dears. Then he bemoans the fact that Bradford ran out of steam after sixty minutes. If Mark Hughes didn't assemble a team who mostly resembled middleweight boxers and put a few skilful players on the pitch, they may have been more successful. The idea that they have ambitions of an automatic promotion place just says it's a very mediocre league this season. We were the better side, without really looking like winning the match.

I Like this bit - "Interestingly, the assessor watching from the stand felt the referee should have sent Lewis on his way.".

While in Law it probably was a yellow as there was no clear goalscoring opportunity, he did seem to take a yellow rather than get into a challenge with McNeil after he escaped the clutches of the centre back.

It would not surprise me if people travelling in the opposite direction, from Newport to Bradford felt much the same. Certainly we believe that this division is not a lot of good for us. Far too many northern teams.

A match play under an unwelcoming blanket of grey cloud and in gloomy south Wales, eh? Oh yes, I remember visiting Bradford: palm trees grow, the sun beats down all year round and never a cloud in the sky. And their goalkeepers always pick the ball up in their own f****** area. Get real Telegraph and Angus!

The typical " we are a big club and shouldn't be playing the likes of Newport" attitude. The simple fact is they are in the same division as us for a reason and have to accept they ARE a League 2 club.

I read the article.

Seriously do most of you wake up in the morning wanting to be offended?

How can anyone be offended with that article?

Apart from Gary Lineker?

Straight red card all day long - deliberate handball outside the box with a Newport attacker gaining ground.

The mitigation is that the green paint covering the rugby markings had been washed away. I can understand how Bradford might label us as tin pot. If I was referee, I wouldn’t have allowed the game to go ahead until the rugby lines were obscured and if that couldn’t be done because of the weather, I’d have reported County for failing to have a suitable pitch.

I think the ref showed good common sense on this occasion though.

Was it racist, no. Was it sexist, no. Did it espouse violence, no. It smacked of superiority and condescension. You are a tin pot club and we are much better than you and it rains where you are. So bloody what. The only person who could be offended was the County drummer boy. I bet he is glad he got a mention.

I blame Benito !
Deluded Northern fookers
