You might be very surprised!! It seems as if Crawley fans are all on holiday in the Algarve.

The question is, even in a PSF does Evans still berate the officials at every opportunity, and spend all stoppage time pointing at his watch to indicate he thinks enough time has been played?

You have to go, get as close to the dugout as possible and scream abuse at him for the whole game. With any luck he'll swing for you, get reported to the FA and get a lengthy ban.

Do it - for the good of the game.

Go and give him some abuse Portugull! By the way i've seen a bit of SC Olhanense on live streams when i bet on the Portuguese league. Did they get relegated this season coz i know they were struggling. I remember on one game i had a bet on i think they equalised with the last kick of the game costing me lots of pennies! :slap: I won't hold it against you though! :lol: You go mate and give the rotund snake some verbals!!

Peterborough are on tour in Portugal, I hope their paths cross way with Crawley in the form of a friendly, and they stuff them :)

Andy SC Olhanense finished a respectable 11th of 16. The game you mention was when we equalised in the 90th minute against the mighty Benfica.

Just to report SC Olhanense beat Crawley 2-1 last night. Unable to go but CT scored in 33 and SCO in 50 and 60 mins. Will speak to a friend who attended and post if anyone is interested.

I'd be interested in any report you can compile, that's not a bad effort by them though.

Southampton sorry for long delay.....grandchildren visiting!!
Cambgull was right Crawley had 4 supporters at the game.
My contact tells me Matt Tubbs and the keeper were their best players. It seems Evans was his usual unpleasant self.
SCO have had a massive change to cope with. 12 players out and a similar number in. Lost all our best players to bigger clubs. Money talks the same the world over.
Saturday night we entertain newly promoted Brighton.
Very encouraged by reports of United thrashing City last night.
