Match Day Thread Accrington Stanley v Sunderland - Saturday 8th December - KO 15:00

Unless the rules have changed, match replayed

 

Abandoned! Wasn't expecting that!

We're already a game behind as well dammit!!

 

I'm happy enough with that. With Portsmouth and Luton winning, we really needed to win that game

 

Luton going above us at the minute, us 2 games in hand!

 

Does that mean a replay or does the score stand at 1-1?

 

They should have got the groundsmen on and cleared the frigging water off the pitch then restarted. The soft get ref it should have been called off hours ago off anyhow they have fantastic weather technology these days I know when it will rain here and in Accrington for the next 5 days so how could they not ? lets sue the ref or Accrington eh for being useless, it bucketed down at the Barnsley game up here by the way. Now another extra match to worry about, mind you we were bad again today like. no the result won't stand and maybe we should just play the last 15 mins out in the rematch. Good news is 3 out 4 at home in the league for us.

 

Replay according to BBC.

 

Yeh, a blessing in disguise with other results going as they are. And good that Watmore was spared having to play on that pitch.

A fixture build up could be ammunition for Jack to push for more greater intensity in the January window.

 

Jeez. Why do you bother?

 

Weve got Catts, Robson, Wyke, Love and Hume to return yet. I'm more than confident we'll cope with the fixture pile up. 1 point from todays game would have been abit of a shyte result to be fair.

 

What a dickhead you are

 

Not to worry mate, we are still on track, shame for the supporters who were there though, heros to a man, but the risk of injury to the players was high on the referees agenda.

 

Always thought if you got to 70 minutes the result stood? Hope I’m wrong.

 

It's definitely a replayed match.

 

Good. We should be beating teams like that comfortably.

 

Dec fixtures, top 3.

Pompey: 5 games, 3 away, 1 is home to us.

Luton: 4 games, 3 away.

Us: 4 games, 3 at home and Pompey away.

3 home wins are vital to keep the pressure on.

 

We couldn't play our usual passing game on Lake Accrington, both goals were a joke really so hope we can put it back till spring as I'm sure on a good surface we'll get the result we want.
Onwards and upwards and don't lose sleep over the others in the top group cos they'll all be looking up at us come May when it really matters.

 

Here's a quiz question,
As the result doesn't stand does the yellow cards handed out get expunged as well.
I don't know the answer by the way.

 

I assume everything gets chalked off

 

I think any yellows or reds still count, the same way that a player can be carded before or after a game
