EDGWARE TOWN v HAREFIELD UNITED

[ORACLE]

The league have ruled that the game between Edgware and Harefield on Tueday 5th September will have to be replayed because the referee incorrectly disallowed Edgwares penalty which would have leveled the scores.

[Horace]

Wow! Can of worms.. Of course, Harefield will appeal to the FA, and it will be March before the points are taken away from them - if indeed they are!

[ORACLE]

The FA have been involved in the appeal and there is also a precedent involving FIFA.

[Horace]

I know about the precedent. But are you saying that the FA have heard an appeal from Harefield already?

Yes he will!!!!

[ORACLE]

No, the FA were represented at the meeting that made the decision.

[Sharming Paula]

WOW, so we ARE going to get a replay. The FA will have to stand by thier decison, as you say, it's happened before.

 

This is going to be replayed some date later in the season, could have a huge bearing on how the season ends up. I would love to see the faces of the Harefield board when they learn that not only do they have to replay the game BUT they have also lost 3pts LOL <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

 

Edgware have nothing whatsoever to lose in the replayed match, as we lost already <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

The FA were at the meeting, and I would imagine that either a representive of Harefield was there, or they sent some paperwork.

[ONE]

good good !...heres to a goalless draw ! ha ha

[Horace]

Even the FA brand of justice includes an appeal procedure. I've no axe to grind either way, but it's not going to happen until Harefield have exercised (or foregone)their right of appeal.

[GRS67]

That would be ok, a point more then we had before. PLUS Harefield have now lost THREE points, which means they are in 6th place now !!!

 

It also means we have only lost one game.

....
They can appeal all they like, but the FA wont back down, and if they did change it, Edgware would just re appeal.

Harefield dont really have a case. I dont see why Hertford should shed a tear for them. It means that the league could be between yourselves and us, with Harefield tyring to make up ground.

[Tubbsy8]

This is ridiculous. Perhaps we can do the same for a cup game against Cuffley last season that our reserves had abandoned etc etc etc.... Joke!!

[ONE]

so hertford now 4 points clear at top of table ! hee hee

[NeutralFan]

Harefield haven't 'lost' any points until the game is replayed!

 

They'll only have lost points if they lose or draw the replayed game.....

Rubbish, they WILL have the 3pts they 'won' taken off them. The inital game will be like it never exsisted, points wise. Otherwise, what you going to do? give them another 3pts if they win? making it 6pts for winning one game.

[NeutralFan]

Will be interesting how far this precedent can be taken.. I say it's a bad thing. Refs making mistakes is part and parcel of the game
