He's been cak all season, but tonight I thought he was a proper captain

Says it all that this oaf is allowed to wear the armband.
He was covering for Keane most of the match, who looked like he was playing footy for the first time in his life.
I'm in no way a Williams fan by the way.
We're so bad that people are actually enjoying the fact he "showed some fight" by acting like a complete moron. Another day and he would have been off.
Is that what we've been reduced to? Taking our pleasure from totally oafish behaviour? Jesus wept. That's pure stoke circa 2008 under Tony Pulis where leg breaking challenges were applauded by mutants.
Found myself thinking as I watched the incident and the melee, that Williams' 'challenge' on the keeper Lopes looked deliberate, almost calculated.
He must have known it would draw a reaction... part of me thinks he was willing to sacrifice himself to spark the crowd and his team mates.
After the melee, he was walking straight back towards the tunnel, in my opinion, fully expecting a straight red card.
He didn't get it, the melee ignited the crowd and the team, and four minutes later ironically it was he scoring the equaliser.
I was heavily involved in professional ice hockey for many years and it's an accepted part of hockey that if the team needs a kick in the backside, the enforcer will go out and drop the gloves with his opposite number. It is part and parcel of ice hockey, these guys play that specific role knowing full well that as a minimum they'll get a five-minute major penalty, or ejected from the game depending on the referees point of view.
The fight sparks the crowd into life and invariably has an effect upon the rest of the game.
I'm probably wrong, but Williams looked to me like he was taking one for the team, he had absolutely no need to take Lopes out the way he did, it looked a calculated gamble that paid off... until Cornet beat him to the byeline and Traore netted the winner.
