Pickle Rick Posted September 9, 2023 Report Share Posted September 9, 2023 Just noticed that Scunthorpe had their match abandoned today because of heavy rain. Top of the NL North and losing 1-2 at home to 10 men as well! https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/66765341 Saw some comments and a couple photos and vids on X/Twitter about it. Weather was glorious to begin with and never rained in many places nearby. Only had 5 minutes of stoppage time left to play as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malago Posted September 10, 2023 Report Share Posted September 10, 2023 I thought once the game passes 80 mins the result stands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looked , I would guess the result will stand as so much was played. ”…any League Match which from any cause whatever falls short of 90 (ninety) minutes’ duration may be ordered to count as a completed fixture or be replayed in full or in part on whatever terms and conditions the Board shall in their absolute discretion determine and shall be played in compliance with these Regulations and the Football Association Rules respectively and under the Laws of the Game as approved by the International Football Association Board”.

Given the match was abandoned five minutes into injury time it would be harsh if the result doesn’t stand. Don’t suppose there are any precedents though?

Don’t suppose there are any precedents though? I suppose if the lead was substantial you would fix the result - but with five minutes left and only one goal difference, the losing side could argue they missed the chance to equalise.

Big C Posted September 11, 2023 Report Share Posted September 11, 2023 Scunthorpe and Buxton have been ordered to replay their National League North game, which was abandoned in the 96th minute after a torrential downpour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markthehorn Posted September 11, 2023 Report Share Posted September 11, 2023 Harsh on Buxton here . Or very unfortunate. Winning 2-1 and the match gets abandoned on the 96th minute ! https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/66778293 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously the 90 minutes in that quote equates to the completion of the game, not meaning that because they were in injury time that it stands. The game is to be replayed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Started raining with about 20 minutes or so to go. It was strange cause one side of the ground was sunny and the other was sunny for some time. It was the last 10 minutes it became really bad and Scunny missed a penalty late on aswell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a player sent off literally on HT - I thought the referee was really poor genuinely seen better Sunday League referees That being said I think it's really unfair on Buxton the pitch was genuinely unplayable 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like there was quite a lot of friction between the teams with the home fans and players accusing Buxton of a lot of gamesmanship etc . And that was before the farcical ending !

Genghis Khan's pants Posted September 12, 2023 Report Share Posted September 12, 2023 Not that it's going to happen but could Scunthorpe "concede" the game and not replay it (I.e. do arguably the right thing) or is a replay mandatory now?
