[BensGrandad]

SSAN say bthey are trying to clear the pitch to allow the game to go on obviously Ipsich want it to and Leicester dont how long has been played.

 

[Acker79]

how long has to be played for score to count?

All of it.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

I think Roy Keane will commit a murder tonight!

 

[Sheebo]

All of it.

Wrong. 80 mins.

 

[the costa love bus]

80mins but gambling rules are full 90

 

[BensGrandad]

All of it.

I thought that it was 68th minute ie over 1/2 of the 2nd half for the scores to stand.

 

[the costa love bus]

ref wants another 5mins

 

[Seasider78]

Feel for the ref as he has tried to let a game go on and now has created a situation where no matter what he does he will be hated!

 

[the costa love bus]

ffs back

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Stuart Attwell, is it? Always at the centre of attention, he is.

 

[astill86]

They're going back out!?

 

[7:18]

they've come back out now, 3rd half to commence...

 

[hitony]

And they are back out to play....SOCCER BALL............

 

[Acker79]

The discussion of how long of a match has to be played was brought up when we faced FC united.

OFFIAL THREAD**FC United of Manchester v Brighton and Hove Albion** FC FA cup replay

The laws of the game says abandoned games are replayed unless competition rules state otherwise. The fa cup rules do not state otherwise, neither (as far as I can determine) do the league rules.

80mins may be enough for bookies to pay out (I don't know about that), but as far as I can determine the whole match has to be played for the result to count in the league.

 

[philsussex]

80mins but gambling rules are full 90

So will he just let it run to 80 then do you reckon?

 

[Lady Whistledown]

I think the atmosphere has picked up now, because Ipswich are so far ahead and inevitably they want the game to finish. The referee becomes the villain if it can't be completed.

I just thought it was a tad quiet earlier on, people were sucking in the novelty experience and nervously awaiting the abandonment.
