Where's the wolly with the brolly

 

[BensGrandad]

Apparently if abandoned the game will be played tomorrow do they start with 5 mins gone or from start with full 90mins not that it really matters as it is 0 - 0. I would expect the fuil 90 mins.

The England game is in Kiev, don't know what the weather is like there.

 

[Uwinsc]

Enjoying the England v France replay as I only got to listen on the radio originally. Am I right in saying England look better organised than they often do?

 

[Brok]

Is this going to delay our game?

Weather is fine in Kiev.

[GingerBeerMan]

1-1 France but France are making more chances, hopefully England can hold on to the draw.

they'll play the remaining 85 minutes. imagine if the rain had come down with only 5 minutes left though, all that aggrovation, crowd control etc and then a five minute match tomorrow!

Shouldnt do, just both games will be happening at the same time for about an hour.

 

[Stat Brother]

yep. as I understand it, they delay the kick-off for exactly the length of time of the delay to the france-ukraine match, as you'd expect

Why?

 

[Marxo]

This from the BBC:
Just in case you're a lover of rules, here are the Uefa regulations regarding such match abandonment scenarios:

"If the match is abandoned before the end of normal time or during any extra time because the field is not fit for play or for other reasons, it must be replayed in full either the next day or on another date as agreed by the host association and the visiting association, subject to the approval of the UEFA administration. An agreement must be reached within two hours of the referee's decision to cancel the match. In case of dispute, the UEFA administration fixes the date and kick-off time of the match. Its decision is final."

6pm restart

 

[oddsonlaughter]

5live speculating that due to TV deals across the world the England game may well be delayed until the game finishes

well if it starts at 6pm it should only be delayed by a few minutes (injury time in 1st and 2nd halves)

 

[hart's shirt]

There's rain in Ukraine.

 

[BensGrandad]

I thought that I heard/read that the England game will be delayed by the same time as this match is delayed ie 1 hour later kick off.

It better not be, I promised the inferior half that she can watch whatever she wants at 9:45.

There's rain in Ukraine.

The rain in Ukraine falls mainly on the plain.
