Chapter 51: The Big Fight

While the schedule is relaxed, there is another piece of good news for Notts County.

The players who were penalised for the brawl against Reading returned to the pitch from their suspensions, with the full-length Notts County in League Two being consistent with successive victories over Northampton, Peterborough, Oldham and Tranmere before claiming a draw against Queens Park Rangers.

Brighton, the direct rivals in the table, have also performed well, but they are not as strong as they were at the beginning of the season, losing one of five games and drawing one, the points have been tied by Notts County, and even because of goal difference, they have given up the top spot they have occupied since the first round of the season.

Behind Notts County, teams such as Mansfield and Wigan have gradually opened up the gap, and many professionals can see that there is almost no suspense for Notts County and Brighton to get direct promotion to League One, and other teams seem to have to compete for a place in the promotion play-offs.

The team's good performance naturally makes everyone more ambitious, and with the pressure of the league not great, the fight for a cup competition has been regarded by fans as the second goal after league promotion.

At this time, the FA Cup, the most watched and valued in England, will also start.

Because League One and Premier League teams only join the competition from the third round, with only amateur, League C and League Two clubs participating in the first two rounds, there is probably no threat to Notts County no matter what opponents they face in the first two rounds.

Swansea, a Premier League powerhouse in the future, but now they are only mixed in the League C, no matter the strength or fame, they are not beaten to Notts County, and no one thinks that Swansea can prevent the in-form Notts County from advancing to the next round.

In the course of the game, the two sides played more friendly, perhaps Swansea, who was in a financial crisis, did not put all their minds into the game, did not pose too much threat to Notts County, and after Notts County sealed the victory in the second half, they simply withdrew their troops and went home.

Such a game doesn't seem to get much attention, even the whole first round of matches, because there are no League One and Premier League teams involved, it didn't make much of a difference, but back in Notts County, Notts County was pushed to the forefront because of one thing.

"Go and bail out the two impulsive guys, although there is no punishment for ordinary brawls, but detention in the police station is not a shameful thing!"

After getting the news, David immediately gave instructions, and at this time, no matter what, the first thing to do is to ensure that the players are not wronged.

Because of the limited strength of Swansea's opponents, some of the main players of Notts County who did not enter the squad did not go to Wales with the team, which can also be regarded as a holiday for the players.

The three English players, Lescott and Ben Foster, plus Leiton Bynes, have nothing to do, and go to nightclubs to pass the time, which is a normal situation in England, as long as it is not a night of partying, no one cares about it.

Originally, the three players were going to leave after they had enough play, but who knew that they were in trouble because of the identity of the Notts County player.

There were two tables of almost drunken guests in the nightclub, who happened to be Mansfield fans, and at once they recognized three players from Notts County, and cursed as ugly as they were.

The three young men were young and vigorous, where could they endure this kind of insult, so the two sides naturally fought.

Although the fight did not have too bad consequences, the two sides were quickly separated by the dissuasion of other guests, and at best some people had blue noses and swollen faces, such as Lescott.

The number of opponents is several times that of them, and it is normal for them to suffer losses in fights, even if they are tall and big, they can't stand others rushing up.

After the police came, they directly brought all the people involved in the fight to the police station without saying anything, not to mention anything else, there was a fight, and there was no problem in detaining them first.

According to the normal process, after recording a confession, detained for a period of time and investigated clearly, if there is no major problem, you can be released without much impact.

But it was also unlucky, the police officer who happened to handle the case was a Nottingham fan, and it was a joy to see two rivals fighting with their fans.

not only expanded the culpability of both parties within the scope of the law, but also directly stabbed the fight incident to the media, or the Nottingham Post, which is not friendly to Notts County, so the fight was out of control after fermentation.

Players clubbing is not a big problem, and ordinary fights are not a big problem, but when the two things are combined, it is a big problem.

What is breaking news?

This is called breaking news.

Anyway, it's been a long time since this kind of professional player fights in nightclubs!

Although Notts County is just a League Two team, since this summer, Notts County has successfully entered the eyes of ordinary fans in England through a series of actions, whether it is the investment of the Premier League powerhouse in the transfer period, or the performance of the League Two in League Two, plus the elimination of two Premier League teams in a row in the League Cup, Notts County is like a red star in English football and has received a lot of attention.

Notts County's players fighting with fans in a nightclub while the team is in the FA Cup, no matter how you look at it, it's headline-worthy news.

When the three players walked out of the police station, countless reporters swarmed up and blocked the passage.

Despite the numerous questions raised by the reporters, the three players kept their heads down and did not say a word, and finally left in a car under the guidance of the police and club staff.

The next day, the news swept across England.

Several national media outlets are quite professional, but they list the fights in a conspicuous layout and describe the process of the fights fairly and fairly.

But when it comes to local media or lace tabloids, there are many tricks.

It is said that Lescott and other players are dissatisfied with the team not putting them in the main lineup, and they give up on themselves by drinking to kill their sorrows;

It is said that Mansfield fans provoked, the grumpy Lescott responded, and the two sides deliberately made an appointment in a nightclub;

It is also said that the Notts County players fought because they were jealous of others for a girl;

Anyway, there are all kinds of rumors, and Lescott has suddenly become a well-known player in England, and I really don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing for them.
