Yep I agree. A Duckworth Lewis equivalent is required - taking into account time played, score and other factors like red cards in this case.
I seem to be the odd one out regarding replaying this game, so how about this? We feed all the stats into a computer, press a button and let the computer decide the score. Just think of the entertainment we will get from this, no last minute winners, no bookings or red cards. What a great 90mins that will be, and think of all the money we will save, not having to go to live games, cup finals etc. great entertainment.
In 1961 an incredible afternoon as Denis Law scores all six goals as City storm into a 6-2 lead away to Luton Town in the FA Cup. Unfortunately, with 69 minutes on the clock, the torrential rain meant the referee had no option but to abandon the game. Worse still, City lost the re-arranged fixture 3-1 with Law scoring the goal and his incredible feat in the first game was wiped from the records! It's occurred many times over the years
F1 awards half points for a race that's stopped after 50% complete due to bad weather, and full points if a race is 75% complete. Given fixture pileup, that doesn't feel like a bad rule for these situations?
