Shrunk in the rain? 😉

Once the decision has been made I bet Ipswich communicate it before Rovers do.

Travel time surely can’t be a consideration, the decision should be the same whether the away team has a 10 or 250 mile journey. Ipswich can always decide the chance to gain a point or 3 isn’t worth the bother…

I can't imagine the bureaucrats were in work over the weekend. It will only have appeared in their emails today, then they'll set a day and time to discuss it etc etc. Could hear about it any time between tomorrow and a fortnight knowing how things get dragged out.

The bit about travel is ridiculous, there’s a return fixture, just play out the 10 min before that match. Take a break then start the away match. Sure we don’t have the home supporters for the last 10 min but seems the most fair and logical result…which of course means it won’t be the solution.

Maybe we should hire the same firm that so successfully argued the EFL into letting us buy O’Brian and Brierly…

Are you at the U21 game this evening? If so, who was manager following Sherons departure? Edit - also if so, enjoy the game 🙂

Have we heard from the seafl yet?

Technically, the rules allow for absolutely any decision to be implemented so I very much hope we are arguing our case for a ten minute replay 11 v 10 strongly. In practice of course I expect nothing other than a full replay as generally that seems to be the only decision thats been made in the past.

U21s are at home to Middlesbrough this evening Imagine that those who are missing will be involved in the U21s game v Blackpool tomorrow afternoon

They’ve lost the Zoom meeting code…

Certainly not how it has always been, the 75+ minute and result stands was previously in the rule book. If it was all square and 11 vs 11 of course no one would be against a replay, think your totally missing the point !

A reply from EFI would be handy

No doubt they'll be wondering why they're struggling when times get tough.

Can only assume, as with everything, there's a bureaucratic process to follow before the announcement, even if the end result is already known.

But we were.

Why is it taking so long for them to make a decision?

With the red card and us leading 1-0!

Why no news? 😔

The amount of bs surrounding this is embarrassing! Game gets called off.... It gets replayed. The way it's always been... End of story. If we weren't a goal up at the time would there be any arguments from rovers if it went to a reply! NO. Just another petty amateur decision from pasha the chancer and his cronies to try and bend the rules to suit them.

Given that in professional English football as far as anyone can seem to find, at least in recent years, the precedent has been to always replay it unless there is nothing at stake, even in games more foregone than ours, you will be very very safe in assuming we are going to have to replay the whole match.

Indeed. And replaying the whole thing doesn't replicate any of the conditions. The same players can't be guaranteed for that either. The logic is incredibly weak.

Any news? When will we hear?

Only doing his job tbf.

Prat!
