GuernseyGeordie Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 League ref Wendy Toms came over here in 2003 to ref Guernsey v Rhodes. Abandoned after Rhodes had too many sent off. They were even threatening anyone in the crowd, despite being outnumbered many times over ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big J R Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 Wingate & Finchley v Thurrock abandoned after 85 mins. The home side had five men sent off and the match was abandoned with Thurrock 1-0 up on 85 minutes From: http://www.readytogo...7#ixzz2NANRvPu5 So that'll be a full F.A. Investigation with a bucket load of fines and suspensions !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPCTFC Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 It's not the sort of thing you expect from Wingate & Finchley. It looks like the players and management have let the club down badly. According to a report on NLM from someone who was there it appers they got their last two players sent off deliberately to force an abandonement. Who in their right mind would think that was the best option? Based on previous incidents the game won't be replayed and W&F will get a large fine.

E&E Rich Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 It is a silly rule though. Why should the game be abandoned just because one team has been indisciplined? Yes they'll get fined for it, but the supporters just get an abandoned game. And who decided that 6 should be the point where it stops anyway? We never had any problem with Wingate and Finchley when we went there, although it was a while back, I'll admit. I think there's a former Epsom player in charge there too right now in Gary Meakin. Always a shock when these sort of things happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPCTFC Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 And who decided that 6 should be the point where it stops anyway? This is the question. The laws of the game say a match can't start with less than seven players, they don't say anything about abandoning it if there are less than seven. League rules don't state a game is to be abandoned in these circumstances either so either the FA have said that's the number or refs are making it up as they go along.

I think it's the National Associations that decide, but that the general preference of the International powers is 7 or more. There must be a ref on here who could let us know ?

Krooner Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Always understand it to be cannot start with less than 7 but nothing about stopping a game when they got to less than 7. I don't know the conidtions of play for the Isthmian League though. would imagine the game will be awarded and a huge fine coming Wingates way. Probably the resfs fault though.

League rules don't state a game is to be abandoned in these circumstances either so either the FA have said that's the number or refs are making it up as they go along. Taken from the Interpretation of Laws of the Game & Guidelines for Referees issued by FIFA Minimum number of players If the rules of a competition state that all of the players and substitutes must be named before kick-off and a team begins a match with fewer than 11 players, only the players named in the starting line-up may complete the 11 upon their arrival. Although a match may not START if either team consists of fewer than seven players, the minimum number of players in a team required for a match to CONTINUE is left to the discretion of member associations. However, it is the opinion of the International F.A. Board that a match should not continue if there are fewer than seven players in either team. If a team has fewer than seven players because one or more players has deliberately left the field of play, the referee is not obliged to stop the match and the advantage may be played. In such cases, the referee must not allow the match to resume after the ball has gone out of play if a team does not have the minimum number of seven players.

I don't know the conidtions of play for the Isthmian League though. would imagine the game will be awarded and a huge fine coming Wingates way. Probably the resfs fault though. Isthmian League rules are the same as every other league's rules in the pyramid. The FA set the rules now, not the leagues. I've mentioned this once or a hundred times on here. One day it may sink into the general conscience. Leagues are unable to fine clubs for this type of thing. I only found that out myself 5 minutes ago after re-reading the relevent rule. And no one's blaming the ref. "8.3.4 In the event of a match being abandoned due to the conduct of one Club or its members or supporters the Board has the power to order that the match is not replayed and to award either one or three points to the Club not at fault. It cannot levy a financial penalty due to the conduct of a Club." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carthorse Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Did the result make any differece to the League table? or was it just because they wanted to get the game called off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are in the relegation battle but Thurrock are/were worse off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
