You're very kind, thank you. I am there in both body and spirit. I have missed three home league games.
Broken leg? No. Too pi**ed

I think it was the "attempted" leg breaker that got people mad. Very late tackle with foot up studs showing.
One of the worst Ive seen in years at ES and Greener knew the bloke had tried to do him. That's why he was mad. You can tell from the other players reactions that knew it was bad.
Thought the ref bottled the red card. In fact thought he was very poor.

About 10 mins earlier, Greener had the ball on half way line and passed into on of the front two. And he proceeded with his run, he barged the number 15, who took offence to it.
I watched him from then on, and he was wound up. The tackle was the first opportunity he had to get one back on Ryan.
As for the card, due to Ryans retaliation, guess the ref felt if he red carded the 15, he'd have to red card Ryan too for forcefully raising his hands. Can only assume that's why he ducked out and issued a yellow. The easy way out.

There are other injuries than a break. I have a permanent limp now - different sport, but injuries in the past to blame.
That was a pretty nasty tackle. Main stand would have had a better view than us on the Len Weston terrace though. Ref was poor throughout

Seems to be one a game at this level, generally around the 60/70th minute and generally after we have taken control of the game.
I've lost count of the number of times this season I've thought at half time "these look a nice side, play the right way, friendly enough" but by the end of the match I'm shouting bloody murder. Referees just have zero control and zero respect at this level.
