well gotta give me report on the game ! be rude not too....
start from the beginning i suppose !
martin picked me up at around 115 saturday ( remember i live near bristol ) so we thought we'd pop up for the weekend. arrived into Norwich for 5.30 ish - then had problems finding the hotel we're staying at - Central Hotel - Riverside ! Anyway, finally found it.,.... n asked the bloke where to park . He sorted us out, result !
Hit the town around 7.30, started at spoons,,,, had a few, progressed down Prince William Road i think, n ended up in Mercy nightclub. Very impressive, well kitted out !
Left around 1.30, got back soon after ( complete with me cheesy chips - or chips n cheese..? ),,, n got a good nights kip !
after breakfast ( 6/ 10 !! ) we had a look around the City before the game. Why not aswell, some lovely views ! The river was beautiful, as was the Church. Infact on the whole a lovely city, would actually consider living there ! One of the top 2 / 3 places ive been in England, would recommend !
Onto the game- Now sadly i was a bit hanging,,, so i was a bit sheepish all day ! Firstly had a good look around Carrow Road, n got several photographs ! Tidy ground actually. Once inside the Jarrold Stand , the banter started on the concourses with our fans being in absolutely stonking mood! very good noise HERE at least, i thought " gonna be an electric atmosphere !!! "
anyway with that in mind, i took to my seat around 20 mins before k / o ! Heard the tunes playing.... etc !
kick off came,,,, n i must say throughout the town support considering it was NORWICH at CARROW ROAD i thought was fairly tame. (5/10 ) really was quite embarrassed by our support. Presume we were sharing the stand with the Norwich families as they did F All bar the 2 goals.
The stand to my right tho, was absolutely buzzing by the Norwich faithful - Fair play to u, u made our support look dreadful . Im usually proud of our support but wasn't one bit yday !
The first half came and went in a flash, Norwich hitting the bar with Richard Wright making a great save, but the ref gave us a G/K !
Norwich had more of the ball first half, but i donno i sorta felt we were defending well and playing alright on the break !
2nd half - We came out n played our football for 5 mins. Walters shoulda made it 1-0,,, but didnt !!! - wot a goal by Croft ( i went to Norwich v ipswich at portman road last year, and when he came on i thought he played very well ! )
Haynes could have equalised with a corner, but shortly after Norwich scored to make it 2-0 . Bit contoversial, McAuely was off the pitch ! - Lita had a word with the ref about blood i think . Want to add this right now about Leroy-
every decision made EITHER way he'd run from wherever he was on the pitch to have his say to the ref. he is honestly an absolute ****. i know him personally from his time at Bristol City also. My mate Dave Burborough got offered a contract at Bristol City, and trained for 2 months but rejected it. So id see him at lunch, he's an arrogant idiot and thinks he owns the place. Always used to get into fights in Bristol, remember seeing sum1 punch him in the face, fair play to the lad he really is worth hitting !
moving along !!!! now even with McAuely off the pitch, we shudda defended better - we cannot defend set pieces !
late in the game, many town fans were appealing for a pen as Haynes went down - i dont think it was a pen but id like to see it again !!! we were 2-0 down late in the game then anyway
final thoughts !
1 - fair play Norwich, u definitely deserved it ! Played quite well, n despite my rant about Lita at this level he is a class above ! quite simply put
2 - Well we didn't get going all game...
3- think its 05/06 since my last Ipswich away win at Southampton !!! 14 games i think !!!!!
4- i think we're a few players short yet , o well ! bring on Bristol City weds n prove me wrong boys .. !
5 - why cant i bang out this many words so quickly when im doing a uni essay ! life would be sweeeeeeet then !
