It's a fucking joke of a decision, it's because it's Blackburn Rovers they came up with that decision. Most refs are biased to the opposition at Ewood, and the fa. For some reason we're not there cup of tea.

Yeah its all a conspiracy against us. Everyone hates us.

100% agree but boycotting the replay makes no sense best thing to do is IF the club are sensible enough to get people in lets support the team to finish the job and stick the finger up to the EFL.

Most of whom will expect Ipswich to win after doing them a huge favour.

If Blackburn Rovers are sensible enough to only allow 500 Ipswich supporters tickets for the replay, I'll turn up for the replay.

It's probably going back to medieval times, Blackburn were anti parliamentarian. Who fucking isn't these days.

Of course we would want a full replay but I don’t think anyone with any common sense or decency would be disappointed if the game was restarted and finished from the salient point of abandonment. The only sensible and equitable solution but one ignored by the EFL, fucking ridiculous.

I think it is a fair outcome, given that the Rovers where at fault for not fixing a known problem. What I can't understand is allowing people on the panel who abstain from voting. I take it that the three abstainers did so, so that, their vote cannot be used against their clubs, if some action is taken at the end of the season.

It's not the fault of the Ipswich fans of even the club.

If some of the Ipswich fans are gloating it's exactly what some of our lower IQ fans would be doing to them.

If you want to vent your anger then do it at the people who have steadfastly refused to invest money in a pitch and a drainage system fit for purpose.

Ill be there for the replay, but still think it's an unfair decision.

Maybe they could do it in politics, a replay of the general election, 5 more years of the tories.

I agree, all the money Jack Walker invested in Rovers(only for his sons to take it out), you'd think we would have a decent drainage system.

Harsh on Rovers BUT....spend some Cash Rovers and get this long known problem sorted once and for all so it never happens again.

Over to you Venkys...🤣

Agree

It could have been worse.

Imagine the outcry, if they had awarded Ipswich a 1-2 win, as we have a problem pitch and why should they have to travel again and add to their fixture list.

I’m sure there would have been an outcry if they did something their rules don’t permit.

I we are losing the replay at half time, what is to stop us banging the sprinklers on full blast and getting the game cancelled again.

What is the betting it would not be going to a second replay 🙂

I’ve played on some really bad pitches. One in particular was a pitch where there were pools of water ( ie large puddles ) but given the un-evenness of the pitch other areas of the pitch were dry and quite playable. However I’ve never played on a pitch like the one at Ewood last Saturday. By the time the game was called off there was standing water all over pitch and there was no way the ball would run along the ground or bounce when dropped. I saw one of the blokes with a pitchfork sweeping large amounts of water away with his boot. You might have been ok playing rugby on it but playing football was impossible.

Abandoning the game isn't the issue for me, but it's that the decision they've come to that feels unfair when they've still allowed the red card to stand. My take on it is if you're going to allow something that happened in the game to still stand, then EVERYTHING that happened in the game needs to still stand. The EFL have made it worse by making that particular call.

Couldn't be put better IMO, even though the outcome is as I expected.
