Rovers letting in 3 after the 90th minute in our last two home games before Ipswich rather undermines our case to be given the points.

Just give us the points and everyone move on.

Definitely a contender - although the fact that their supporters mostly couldn't be arsed to travel all the way across London tends to make it a one-sided famous occasion!

In fact the ref could have opened himself up to other legalities (or perhaps the league would have been deemed responsible) if a player had suffered a career ending injury because their leg got caught in the ground at the wrong moment.

It wasnt as simple as that. He clearly was the player with the transplant, he has not taken that hat off even in the pissing down rain. But he had been training in pre season, was seen training for example in the Spain pre season camp, and asked and played in an under 21 game to keep fit weeks before his spell frozen out of the squad ended, which happened to also be the first game post transfer window closing.

That isnt a reason to carry on the game. No matter what decision is made, it wont be a comparable substitute to playing the game when it was supposed to be played. But the game couldnt be finished. The pitch was unplayable. It is as simple as that. They cant carry on and finish a game on a totally waterlogged pitch, where the ball wasnt moving, wasnt bouncing and was also a clear injury risk, just to avoid these unfortunate legalities.

The Damned - New Rose

What about the full members cup final?

Im a bit confused about which is the more up to date post from Nixon, the one saying they need more time or the one saying the decision is quicker than expected and is due tonight. If it's the former and there is any indecision on behalf of the EFL then tbf that's better than I was expecting. I was expecting a relatively quick announcement that the game would be replayed in full.

Is it any more logically different than organizing a full 90 min match? Got to find a day, get a ref, and get the team here. 10 min or 90 it’s the same, only difference is ticket sales and of course the 1-0 score and 10 v 11

Yes, I would say so

Not more of an advantage than being 1 nil up against 10 men though. But yes, it would probably be better for them than if the rain had relented enough to get the game finished on the day. They'd also get time to plan exactly how to deal with having 10 men against us. But again, it isn't happening any more than Venkys giving us a 50 million quid warchest in January.

Apparently it was a botched hair transplant which meant he couldn’t train hes back in the squad now we thought he was dropped but no he just couldn’t train or play

Don't be a wetwipe post whatever you want.

We were winning 1-0 until 80mins nothing to suggest we can’t do that again and get to 90mins and hold on for a victory if we need to come on you rovers

If that ball hadnt of stopped infront of Kargbo we would be looking to the next fixture by now

Must be complicated if it involves appeal system thats taken over two days to compile.

Or we play them after the January transfer window and we have re enforcements, you never know, think positive (hard I know)

Really? I am not sure how I just posted some details about his career post his failed Rovers transfer and then made what i thought was a silly throwaway comment No offence intended though

No surprise the EFL wanted more time. They cant make decision. Don't expect a decision this week now. Good to see Rovers digging in over this. This is one of the reasons why I would carry on the game and played on cos this will get messy potential

If you don't want me to post his stuff, just let me know. No skin off my nose

Playing the last 10 minutes will actually favour Ipswich - as they will have a fresh team (rather than one having played part of the match with 10 players). They will also have the opportunity to set up their team to best get an equaliser. So, though I agree it is the nearest we can get to fairness, still think Ipswich would get an advantage. However, all moot, as I think we will be ordered to replay (put money on Ipswich moaning about fixture congestion later in the season 🙂 )

Decision might be tonight but might not be, could go either way there could be a replay or the result may stand. Nicko.

Ooof that was a bit harsh!

To be fair the original post was 6 hours ago, maybe my fault for only posting it last few minutes
