Portsmouth will no doubt have "new manager" syndrome and sneak a win. :(

Would you like to know something interesting about the effect of signing a new manager?

There was an expirement (if that's the right word) in to the effect of signing a new manager during the season, over just over 10 seasons I think.

+3/4 points, is all a new manager would offer you a season on average :p
 
We were destroyed by West Brom :(

Sad times :(

Nice to see the Dingles get their game called off :p big LOL at the manager and very bitter Barnsley fans on the radio after, saying that it was only because they were winning and the FA hate them :D

How can you expect anyone not to be bitter? I feel sorry for the team more than the fans personally, a great performance by them counts for nothing and four players are going to have goals chalked off their records. What makes it even more of a joke, the booking one of our players received is still going to count! Consequently giving him a ban for our next game. Not to mention that the player who was meant to be serving his ban in yesterdays game, will now be banned for the next game - it's ridiculous.

There is no doubt in my mind that if that game was a play-off/cup final, it would have been played out.

What I can't understand is if they knew the forecast, why start the game. The ref just decided to call it off with an independent decision, he didn't speak to the managers, captains, ground staff, other officials, no-one. He wouldn't have had the balls to make the decision had the scores been the other way round, in favour of the home side.

If Man Utd's game against Pompey got called off at 4-1 in the same conditions there would be ****ing uproar.

We'll not win the replay now, I'm going to accept that already. But if there's any justice Plymouth should realise that it was our game, they were dead and buried 4-1 down after 60 minutes - something should be sorted between the clubs if the FA aren't going to try and come up with a fair solution.

Something like this maybe? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAMK7EMKMx4

I know it's 5 goals not 1 but really Plymouth need to take a hard look at themselves if they don't at least support the idea of starting the game from where it was suspended.

Ranting :D

Why? If a ref thinks the game's conitions could mean serious injury he will stop play. From the video's the pitch was awful, and the players were sliding.

We had a similar thing against Coventry a few years ago (Sheffield Wednesday) the score wasn't as big as the Barnsley game.

What would happen if a couple of players had of been serioulsy injured? or sent off for tackles where they couldn't controll themselves because of the awful conditions?

Game conditions got worse and worse, and ended up been dangerous, ref stopped play to make sure there were no injuries to players. Simples.

Rant all you want. Right decision was made. I'm willing to bet good money if the score was reversed or something different that call would have still been made in the same conditions.
 
Why is the cripple not playing for Liverpool?

Why spend 20 million on a player to have him warm the bench?

Liverpool aren't blessed with having much money according to Liverpool fans / Rafa / Media so why is there big summer signing still not playing.
 
BFCTom said:
I'm not ranting. I agree with what you saying about injuries etc.

I'm just pointing out why Barnsley have a right to be a miffed, it's given Plymouth a second chance at a game that they don't deserve.

Up to the 89th minute isn't it?
That a game (doesn't matter about the score) will be replayed from the start level scores.

Conditions change games, who's to say Plymouth couldn't of mounted an amazing come back :p
 
Glen Johnson is just awful at defending :D

Buy a right back that can defend and play Johnson as a wide right player, he's far better going forward.

I know I'm going on about this, but can someone tell me how anyone in their right minds can say this is fair?

The rules regarding abandoned games need looking at imo.

I don't know about the yellow card, I'm sure you could fire off a letter to the FA and ask them about it.

RE the game being called off, It was fair. Would you rather have your players injured?

No they don't. They're fine. Why don't you agree with Plymouth to give you the score back? That's what has happened before in games that were called off.
 
Liverpool didn't play well today, Everton will feel they should have gotten something out of that.

Liverpool just aren't playing well.

I'm on about the booking now Tummy.

How a suspension can not be served but can be gained from a game that is wiped from the records.
Click to expand...

The game still took place, but it was called off.

Cards should stand, I can see why you'd be annoyed but it's the same for every team that have a game called off.
 
BFCTom said:
I understand that the rules are the same for everyone, it's just rarely that a game has to be abandoned so late in the game with one side running away with it.

The point I'm making now is how can some aspects of the game be wiped from history but bookings can still stand?

If the game still took place, why are the FA saying our suspended player hasn't served his ban?
Click to expand...

The rules are the same for everyone, these things have probably happened before in football, maybe not in this country.

I don't know why the card still stands, ask the FA, fire off an email.

You're manager was pathetic post match though, saying that it was because the ref didn't like Barnsley and conditions were fine.
