Personally I wasn't aware what had happened at all until three quarter time when I checked my phone. I saw Langdon getting stuck into Gaff but I just assumed Ross had finally decided to tag him.
And I didn't see a replay of the incident until I got home.
At the ground we largely had little to no idea what had happened unless we stared ignoring the game and browsed the internet instead.
Like wise was at the game and had no idea what had happened other than I watched Brahshaw in the hands of the trainers and then, after being down for a while, go off very gingerly.
I watched Gaff get crunched by Ryan and "The Kebab Shop Flasher" in a gang tackle where the Flasher jumped off the ground and knocked Gaff in the head, with a shirt front.
It was a pretty heavy knock ... left him dazzed..... clearly affected by the knock , having been awarded a free kick Gaff gets up takes his and plays on.
Fast forward he latter in the game comes back on and kicks a goal.
Crowd ( me included ) give him a sturdy round of applause.
Forgive me for the applause I was bestowing Gaff , I was at the ground watching the game live without the digital media in my face or in my ear telling me what I was watching.....and neither checking the internet or dare I say checking on Big Footy ...... shit I was engrossed watching the game live........... showing my age here why the **** would I be on my phone surfing the internet , when I was there at the game watching it LIVE.
