Your Daily British Soccer Brawl

A little 11-on-11 to brighten your day...

This comes from League2 with Crawley Town and Bradford City after the match was over...

From the Football League website itself:

"Regarding the unfortunate events which took place at yesterday's (Tuesday) game with Bradford City after the final whistle was blown, Crawley Town cannot make any further comment until the club has had an opportunity to view the video footage in detail," a club statement read.

"Following a full internal investigation, the club will decide whether there is the need for further disciplinary action in addition to that already taken by the Football Association, or to appeal against the suspensions handed out."

Manager Steve Evans has already promised that 'people [who] have acted out of turn need to be dealt with,' and he will no doubt play a major part in the investigation.


Here's the BBC's report on all the fun...
5 players were given cards after all the shenanigans settled down...

Three Bradford players - Andrew Davies, Luke Oliver and goalkeeper Jon McLaughlin - and Crawley's Kyle McFadzean and Claude Davis were shown red cards.

Crawley moved back into the third of four promotion spots with the win and Bradford is now four points above relegation...

Bradford City's boss, Phil Parkinson, has said that he will fine players heavily if they're found to be guilty for throwing punches.
