    Has anyone seen this? Absolute madness and it isn't even clear how it starts:

    I didn't like Crawley after they played us in the cup, they seemed like a pretty nasty, unsporting side and this doesn't change my opinion much. Their manager tries to justify it by saying they were sticking up for each other! That excuse works in Primary schools perhaps but not for grown men. He's a tosser anyway.

    That fat bastard of a manager, Evans, has an absolutely diabolical disciplinary record at every club he has been to and it all rubs off on has teams. He is a disgrace to football but the authorities let him carry on.

    Just this on SSN. For all the mouth their ****house manager comes out with his boys got ran off the park.

    Not condoning this kind if thing but with a manager who obviously likes to wind teams up and promote thuggery it's amusing to see them come off second best.

    Well done Bradford.

    I really shouldn't care but it annoys me to hear that Bradford got 3 red cards and Crawley only got 2.

    I don't get that, from watching the video i can count at least 7 players that threw a punch or raised their hands, so why only five get sent off? Sounds like the referee didn't want to go through all that goes with over 6 players sent off.

    Does anyone know why it started?

    It would have been hard from him to spot all of them first-hand, but players can be banned retrospectively as long as the ref hasn't already booked them for it or something, so there will probably be more.

    As for how it started, it looks to me like Claude Davis throws the first punch at the beginning of the clip, but there could have been something before that. I'm guessing there was some controversy during the match which got him a bit wound up!

    The FA has launched a "probe" (whatever that means) into the scrap so there may well be further punishments

    I hope they shove the probe up Evans arse, he's the most obnoxious **** in English football.

    When that bastard finally does have his heart attack, I bet no ****er wears a 'pray for Evans' tee-shirt.

    Assume so, main problem is i haven't seen any of the match but from watching the cup game it was fairly obvious that it was Crawleys style, just you wouldn't expect that of a Parkinson side.
