Well done Newport County

Recommended Posts

Managed an 83 minute equaliser against Mansfield Town to keep their playoff alive and hopes of promotion to League 1.

Not long ago they were a Conference team but soon could well be thrashing Ipswich Town.

I'm sure the Scummers would enjoy a trip to Rodney Parade

they may not have got that if the ref had done his job of sending off O brien .

Scummers will have to contend with Lower League refs, something else for them to look forward to on a possible wet cold night in Newport.😀

Never has the gap been wider.

I only live 20 minutes away, and my lad plays for Newport's Academy U7's so have watched a few games this season (including the FA Cup game the day after travelling to Norwich for the Portsmouth game..) with him, they're our second team or third after England, not sure many can say that.

I thought Mansfield looked good to be fair to them, but Newport looked and are very limited, with no plan B...  The manager Flyn has done an amazing job though, they were almost relegated in 2017 ago.

I went to a Newport for a couple of days for work and have concluded that the only reason to go there is if it is unavoidable.

Remember the late 1940's and the  whole of the 1950's when City and Newport met every season in Div 3 South and we struggled in quite a number of those games.

Massive achievement on a very limited budget - well done indeed. Hope they go up, just so the binners can experience defeat at the hands of NCFC next season.

Third lowest spenders in the league, it is a magnificant achivement after their history.

Well deserved win for Newport

not sure it was well deserved, as per my prev post ref the red card that should have been in first leg , then the debatable penalty that gave them the equaliser, second leg looked like a bunch of thugs playing against a team trying to play football, 6 yellow cards for Newport, 1 for Mansfield.

Mansfield have had similar issues, losing their ground nearly going bust etc
