having lost a game, but still be able to afford a<br />

smile.<br />

<strong>Bradford</strong> <strong>City</strong> endured a day where everything<br />

went against them in Blackburn last Sunday.<br />

Two dubious fouls led to two even more<br />

dubious goals for the hosts, before Laura<br />
