Reading the Plymouth forum, there were a couple of suggestions on there that Sky coverage suggests that Weirdo might have bitten Shepherd. Not sure how on earth you can tell that from the melee and it didn't seem Shep complained of being bitten, but if there was any truth to it then surely a retrospective ban coming his way.
If someone would have offered me three points at Plymouth for a jack Shephard one match ban and an injury that will highlight we need reinforcements in defence I’d have took it….with bells on
Got back about half ten and just had a couple of Negronis to chill and celebrate after a long day's driving. Absolutely awesome day. Rode our luck occasionally but overall easily deserved. Some proper fight at times. The professionalism in the coaching and conditioning set up compared to Clarke is on a different level. We look like we mean business in preparation, in warm ups, at half time, all of it. De Gevigney and Connell absolutely immense, the two best players on the pitch by a million miles. Abysmal referee that totally lost control and gave Plymouth absolutely everything; i thought both of Shepherd's yellows were a joke. Big shout out to Plymouth for finding three separate central defenders off the street before the match who'd never played football before....
How many of us before the game, expected a defeat, and thought we'd definitely take a point if it were offered ?. And especially when they scored and we were down to ten men, I was thinking the same, that a 2-2 draw would be ok after all. So despite that, and the fact that they were poor admittedly, and the ref was just awful. I think that's a cracking result and a really hard working performance from us, so credit where its deserved.
Love that post. Great support!!! Negroni. Bloody love it. Also good to see you give a shout out to MDG , who had a solid game today.
