Title: Crawley
Post by: animalwilliams on Wednesday, March 28, 2012, 09:50:46
Just read report on last nights' match at Bradford. 5 players sent off after 'incident' in the dressing room, 6 booked during the match.
When is the Football League going to act on this teams deliberate intimidation tactics? Every side in the league is now aware how Evans and his cronies wind opposing sides up before, during and after matches.
Any action likely????

Their recent turnaround is a concern, I guess, because it puts them back in contention for a top 3 spot when, only a few weeks ago, they were being written off.  If we were now to hit a sticky patch, there are three teams there (Torquay, Shrewsbury and Crawley) who could easily capitalise.  We have got to get a few more wins on the board quickly now to kill this off.  If the rest of the pack smell blood, we could be in trouble.

See the highlights this morning on Sky of this all players went in started wiht pushing and shoving and then you see players actaully punching others and going in with uppercuts.

Reading between the lines on what the managers have said it seems Bradford took exception to the way Crawley played and 'tactics' used during the game

Evans say nothing other than a Bradford player starting it and spoke to the 4th official about it  - I hope Crawley fail to achieve promotion and he get's sacked.

Both teams at the very least will be charged with failing to control their players, suspect some players may get extended bans as well - be interested it see what happens

And the footage shows Evans to be a lying bawbag again.  The Bradford player does have a run towards (I presume) a Crawley player but he never gets there on account of Claude Davis' rather neat and effective clothesline on him.

For 6 yellows and 3 reds they need a massive fine and some long bans, but the FA/FL don't have the bollocks to do it to them, we would have been given 10 points deduction and fined £100,000 if it was us in the same position.

I think we will be lucky to escape a hefty fine this time, after all this must be Paolo's fault surely.


A typical Crawley performance, six yellow cards to none for Bradford says everything you need to know about the game.


My guess would be a hefty fine for both clubs, with some of it probably suspended to persuade them not to do it again.

Also, wouldn't be surprised if there are bans/sanctions against other players.
I haven't studied it that much but I'm sure there were more than the five throwing punches.

Dunno if this has already been mentioned:

Quote
Following the events which occurred at the end of the League Two match between Bradford City and Crawley Town on Tuesday 27 March 2012, The FA has issued the following charges:-

• Both Bradford City and Crawley Town have been charged for failing to ensure that their players and/or officials conducted themselves in an orderly fashion and/or refrained from provocative behaviour. The clubs have until 4pm on 3 April 2012 to respond to the charge.

• Crawley Town’s Pablo Mills has been charged with violent conduct for an on-field incident which occurred outside of the jurisdiction of the match officials but was reported to The FA. This charge is additional to the dismissal for violent conduct which Mills received after the match. The player has until 6pm on 30 March 2012 to respond to the charge.

• Crawley Town’s Kyle McFadzean has been charged with violent conduct for an on-field incident which was not seen by the match officials but caught on video. McFadzean has until 6pm on 30 March 2012 to respond to the charge.

It can't have helped their case that they received 6 yellow cards in the games as well.

Now we all know that some ref's are a bit card happy, but as Bradford didn't have any it might suggest that one team was worse than the other.

Just reading a newspaper article on this, and it said 'if it is found that any of the five (who got sent off) threw punches at more or than one player, they will effetively be deemed guilty of a second sending-off offence and banned for even longer'.

Looks like Pablo Mills could be in line for a long break as he's one of the players who was sent-off after he final whistle.

The Football League must give both teams a points deduction for bringing the game into disrepute.

Crawley and Bradford are both equally guilty, with further sending offs on top of those imposed by the referee, I'm pretty sure this is the worst case in English football (regarding red cards). Crawley's six yellow cards in a game is also a disciplinary offence and a fine will be imposed on Crawley

The coverage shown will not help the case of either teams.

I think they have appealed McFadzean's red card so he is allowed to play until that is sorted out.

Reading the "Gaffer's Sunday Updates" from Steve Evans on the Crawley website never fails to amuse. An amazing exercise in self promotion and propaganda.

After yesterday's game at Burton, Evans said " We dominated from start to finish and the stats will be frightening " the actual stats were 49% Burton, 51% Crawley with Burton having 4 shots to Crawleys 5 shots on target.
McFadzean Played so obviously wasn't red carded v Bradford, He did get another yellow card yesterday though.

McFadzean wasn't red carded at Bradford, but along with Mills has been charged by the FA for incidents not seen by the Referee. So both will probably get bans once those charges have been heard. In Mills' case I would guess that he he will miss another 3 or 4 games after his Red card ban.

Mills ain't going to see much more of this season then. Ive noticed that Southend are the only team in the top seven To be playing their last game at home on May 5th so should be interesting on the last day.

McFadean lost his appeal against his dismissal and has been given a 3 match ban.

I am assuming his original offence was violent conduct, which I expect should carry a 3 match ban in itself.  So should the ban not be extended by a game for a frivalous appeal?


Title: Re: Crawley
Post by: brocklesby red on Monday, April 2, 2012, 17:34:02
Macfadzean clearly punches a Bradford player so any appeal was frivolous and should attract a further 1 match ban

I see Crawley have taken the captaincy off Mills as his behaviour against Bradford was apparently 'not fitting that of a club captain.The reputation of Crawley Town FC as a welcoming, family club is paramount to out ongoing strategy of development and we will not tolerate incidents such as that at Bradford.''

And yet they still employ that fat Bobby Davro, who apparently tells his players to break opposition players legs.

I'm shocked Crawley and Bradford did not get a points deduction.

It just means in the future clubs who have the funds, (they normally have large squads as well), these clubs can afford to have a few suspended so it doesn't really impact on them; can fight, fight, fight with no real punishment, showing a poor example to all, especially youngers.

Points deduction or transfer embargo for a long period was the rightful punishment.


Can the sponsors pick up that small bill on their way out please and we will just carry on with our promotion push.

What a load of bollocks FL.

I wouldn't really describe the Conference as non league any more, not when you look at how many teams are full time now. If you can be successful there (which he consistently has been) then there's no reason why you should not be successful in L2, as Evans has shown this season.

Regardless of budget and how the players are acquired, as a manager you have to pick the team, get the players playing in the right positions, get them organized, motivated etc. You won't be able to do that if you are a crap manager.

As I keep saying, people need to be able to separate the fact that he is an obnoxious cunt from the fact that he is an effective manager.

If he gets Rotherham promoted, their decision will have been justified. I suspect that is what will happen.
