    Morpeth have been told by the F A that there game against south shields has to be replayed In full
    they were 4-2 up with 8 minutes to go .South Shields were also down to 10 men
    the game was abandoned because the flood lights failed at shields

    Very harsh. I know 'rules are rules' but there should be something to allow for this situation. It's not the same as being abandoned after 5 minutes with no goals scored.
    It will give the mackems ideas. Every time they are losing at home they'll flick the floodlights off.

    Hmm this is a difficult one. Under the rules its correct. South Shields could quite rightly claim that they could have scored twice in the last 8mins. It happens. Correct decision.

    However this does invariably favour the side given a lifeline with a nothing to lose attitude. I believe a fairer solution would be to say the game will now be played at Morpeth as South Shields were at fault.

    That's JPF Rule 132, Chapter 4, Part viii, Sub-Clause b.
    Only for exceptional circumstances.
    Or whenever JPF feels like it.
