We did indeed take the competition seriously. No-one will change my mind that the tackle on Allaway was not a redcard offence. There was no attempt to play the ball as it had already gone, it was high with studs showing. To make it worse the idiot who comitted the offence laughed it off, as if it was something he done all the time. THen all though the game when fouls were comitted you had a number of the opposition making comments 'oh, you've got to applaud that' when players were receiving treatment. Its not football and its not clever.
