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

They’ve lost the Zoom meeting code…

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. 

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.

Have we heard from the seafl yet?

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

Getting a fair bit

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.

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

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.

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…

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

Who actually said the decision would be today? I know I read it somewhere, but I've read that many posts/opinions/articles now I've lost all track of where I read things and complete bullshit and fact are seamlessly merging into one 🤷‍♂️

I understand the ‘committee’ is meeting to discuss it tonight. So we may hear something tomorrow I guess.

Yet you are fine, suggesting all of our players could be injured in the rearranged game. 

Yet again Carl not what I said stretching my point to extreme lengths again. I said we could be without one or two of our key players in a few weeks. Ipswich new signings would have settled more and would have adapt more to this league..

Or it could be the other way round and they might have injuries while our new players have gelled.

I saw something that the EFL make their decision this evening, not sure if it said that decision will be communicated today though

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.

Haha thanks mate but that’s not news that’s just your thoughts on what’s likely, which i don’t dispute but I was looking for more an actual update

It's a statement of fact concerning precedent, fairly recent ones at that. Nothing is sufficiently different about this case. There is no reason they will overturn precedent for us. I'd be happy to wager significant money on it. If anything we usually get fucked over by the authorities, we're not a West Ham who can get decisions like that in our favour.

It's not a fact that it will happen, but it's as near as dammit. What I'm telling you is you're wasting your time checking for updates, it's as near to a foregone conclusion as you're likely to see.

You might as well be checking whether Trump will say something moronic this week.
