Newton Soccer lacks discipline

Saturday 1 June 2008, 4PM.

The battle started when Paarl and Newton took to field in the league match.
Both teams looked determined to win the game. The game started after referee Wilmore Nyman was approached to take charge of the game.

Newton looked like the stronger team from the start. playing good soccer and having most of the ball possession.

Only problem started when Newton's discipline decreased during the game and started to take it personal and some heated moments caused the referee to take out the Cards and force discipline.

2 of the Red Cards was issued because the players swear at opponents.

we all know the rules..
According to FiFA rules in chapter 116 LAW 12 -Fouls and misconduct
- Cautions for unsporting behavior
- Acts in a manner which shows a lack of respect for the Game.
- Verbally distracts an opponent during play or at restart

A lot of fouls were committed during the game. Made the Game distasteful for the rest of the spectators. One of the Newton Supporters threw a bottle at the referee after issuing the 2nd red card.

Newton manager was very disappointed in his team's behavior. We hope they can go back to the drawing board and work on there there tempers and discipline.

Paarl Won the Game 2-1 After 3 of Newton's Players were sent of. Newton had the Game in their hands but threw it away with bad discipline.
