Safc2017 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 That's a crazy decision from the referee ! Game is more or less wrapped up and a great win to be celebrated . Of course craigshill will argue that they could have pulled a couple goals back and got a draw . Be interesting to see how this pans out ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye it’s not going to bode well for the league that’s for sure. Such a massive game too. We just need to put it behind us and forget it until it’s dealt with, equally as important games coming up.

TruthfulTam Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I’ve just understood what’s happened. I was thinking a floodlight went out at first or something .......For the sake of 3 minutes you’d have thought he would have let it run. That’s okay with like 25 minutes left to play. What time was kick off? Massive call in a massive game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massive call in a massive game Kick off was 6.30 as scheduled by LEAFA. It is what it is, we had the game won fair and square but if we are ordered to replay it, there’s no point greeting, we just need to make sure we win that.

Is a bit dark come 8 but surprised with 3 minutes left he called it, that’s shocking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye mate, I actually looked last night and sunset was 19.57, surely LEAFA know these things when scheduling games. Also you’re asking Craigshill to come through midweek, if they’re late then it’s a non starter right away. What a mess has been made of this. Two teams sitting joint top this was a huge game aswell.

Usually depends how the weather is during the day as well as to when it gets dark. Can’t believe he left it until 3 minutes remaining to call it very poor if you ask me. Craigshill will be delighted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the game dead, he should have just seen it out and avoided this. Craighsill players were actually telling him just to blow full time as the game was won and everybody was freezing!!

Bawsoot Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Great result last nite for St Bernards against craigshill to only b spoiled by a ref ...you will probably awready know the game will need to b replayed cause both halfs need to be of equal halfs use must be gutted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have proven we are more than capable of beating anyone and if we have to replay the game, so be it, we will. Last night wasn’t a fluke, we went into the game believing we could win the game and that will stay the same. The worst part is the league have allowed a situation like this to arise, it’s way too early yet to have games kick off at 6.30 and finish in good light.

Disco30 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Don't catch many games in the east if I'm honest but looking through this thread and had to comment. This ref has had an absolute nightmare if it had been 30 minutes could have been justified but for the sake of 3 minutes the decision to blow early is absolutely scandalous. Will probs be replayed now but imo the result should stand. What a farce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleslie99 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Ridiculous situation but the result will stand unless the league are totally incompetent. Yes the game has to be of equal lengths but that refers to the ref knowing in advance that the game isn't going to have time to finish, ie at the start of the game. He's made the decision as it's happened. A replay is the wrong decision as the fully correct outcome as per the laws of the game would be to play the game to it's natural conclusion. Getting amateur players back for a 3 minute game is totally a non-starter so therefore the only solution is the result to stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bawsoot Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Agree with what your saying but the law is there needs to b 2 equal halfs if there was any danger of the light deteriorating the ref should hav said before ko and both captains would need to have agreed to playing 40 mins each way ... game will 100 %get replayed unfortunately for St Bernards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigHartson Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 If it gets replayed then the ref should get dropped from the league. He should also forfeit his math fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The laws of the game clearly state that in this instance both clubs must be asked to complete the fixture from where it was halted at the earliest opportunity. This has happened at senior games in the past, some high profile ones. Being that it's amateur football I seriously doubt the league will ask 2 clubs to come play 3 minutes of football as getting the same 11 for each side on the park would be a logistical nightmare. The result should stand and if the league make any other decision (other than making them both play the 3mins) then it's wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tynie1874 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 St.Bernards should request it, and reject a replay should it get asked. Which then puts pressure on the league to act to award the tie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game was won fair and square but no point moaning about it. Just need to make sure we keep winning and are in the title race by the time any decision is made.

Thekeeper Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I watched st bernards and then sandys tonite and sandys will win prem1 mark my words. 6-2 st bernards in legue vs mussy and sandys 9-2 in cup vs salvy. craigshill drop 2 points against bottom of league and I bet sandys will be the only team to win all there games left as there to good for teams now. does any1 have the table after tonites games?
