The all-Welsh FA Cup encounter between Newport County and Swansea City descended into chaos when the fourth official was hit by a coin.
The incident came after Alan Sheffield told the referee he had been verbally abused by County manager Peter Beadle.

As Beadle made his way to the stand, Sheffield collapsed after being struck, causing an eight-minute delay to the game - which Swansea won 3-1.

Sheffield was stretchered off and taken to hospital in an ambulance

Show me a Welsh club whose fans aren't more trouble then Leeds, Millwall & West Ham. Just because they have generally been lower league clubs they seem to have been ignored.

I remember reading some stats about England fans being banned from travelling to the 2002 world cup. I think there were something like 360 people who had been told to surrender their passports. The second worst club (I think) was Leeds with about 45 supporters. Cardiff (clearly not English) were top with 136!!!

If they just allowed them to bring sheep into the ground perhaps they'd be a little calmer?
