To either get given the win, or replay the 10 minutes. No surprise I guess, I’m sure we’d be doing the same if the shoe was on the other foot.
Surely it won’t happen, but imagine making us go back up there to play 10 minutes, wonder how many fans would go.

If that happens then just play it behind closed doors ffs 
This is what was said after the Rotherham Cardiff game was abandoned the other year…
"In considering matters such as these, the league seeks to adopt consistency with previous occurrences where fixtures have been abandoned for weather-related reasons and could not be restarted," the EFL said in a statement.

Where do you draw the line? It was clearly unplayable second half and the ref delayed and delayed thinking that they could probably get through the 90. The fact he ended the game on 79 shows that even playing 11 minutes was not worth it. |  |

Anything other than replaying it in full would set a pretty dangerous precedent surely.
So much happens in the last fifth of games at this level. It was also obvious that the weather was influencing matters to such an extent that the outcome, whatever it was, would be influenced by it. Obviously it was the same for both teams but that doesn’t really stand up when we’re chasing the game at a point in the game when the ball won’t move at all. It would be farcical to go and play the last 15mins or so with fresh legs on both sides - that isn’t how the game works, and again massively unfair on a team chasing the game bringing on players to target positions where the opposition has tired etc.
Blackburn need to sort that drainage out - games should not be called off at this level for that. I have little sympathy as a result and would be furious with them if we’d been 2-0 up. | | | |

They really can't do anything other than restage it. If it was 4-0 to one side or the other, then there might be a chance of awarding it to the leading team. But there was 10 minutes plus perhaps another 10 minutes of injury time to go, so there was no certainty of the result at 1-0.
If the teams come back for the final 10 minutes plus injury time, could they force us to play the 10* which was on the field at the time? What if players subsequently get injured? Could we claim a number of our defensive players are injured and play all our available attackers in their place? We'd have nothing to lose by doing so given the position.
*Amended, 10, obviously.

Also, we will obviously put our case forward.
It will include…
Game should’ve been stopped a lot earlier than it was.
Penalty decision was down to pitch conditions.
George Hirst got a yellow for a perfectly good tackle. | |

I’m putting the case to the EFL that Blackburn’s chicken farmer owners should invest in their pitch drainage and stop behaving like a non-league club. No problems at Burnley or Blackpool yesterday. In fact the more I think about it, we should be awarded the win yesterday. |  |

That’s cute from a side that conceded two goals at home in injury time the other week. Our argument will surely be the pitch was unplayable long before the ref called it off.
The way I see it
- All hell would let loose if they just gave them 3 points
- We won’t play 10 minutes
- You can’t replicate fitness personnel and game state etc
A bit harsh on Blackburn but see you in late October. |  |

It would be simply wrong imo.
Replaying 11 minutes would not recreate the situation in the game whereby tired legs against an attacking set of substitutions come into play. | | | |

Would you take 20 mins 11 v 11? Like a plea bargain.
It wouldn't happen, but if we were to hammer out a deal, I'd take 20 mins, 11 v 11... I'd take it. | | | |

Jacob Greaves slipped for the red card as well. Yes, from start to finish it was impossible to play football properly, the ball was getting stuck in patches all the way through. | | | |

Yep, I don’t want another trip to Blackburn as much as the next man but a replay of the game is the rules so that’s what it’ll have to be. | |

FA are quite clear that it has to be played in it’s entirety as it wasn’t the fault of either team.
EFL rules appear to have more wriggle room.
Who wins in that situation? |  | | |

Also if they set this precedent there's no real motivation for Blackburn and others such clubs to sort out their infrastructure and may even be a motivation to deliberately sabotage pitches and try and play for an abandonment on days when the weather is extreme. As it stands they've been punished for not providing adequate facilities and so will be more spurred on to sort the issues out. |  | | |

Surely if both managers agreed to it being abandoned, then the only option is replay the entire game?
If the Blackburn manager had disagreed and wanted to continue, but overruled by the ref, then yes I could understand their argument about only playing the 10 minutes.
Obviously third option to cover both sides is for the EFL agrees with BB and play 10 minutes but tells the ref to play 45 mins of extra time 😃 |  | | |

If that's the precedent it seems highly improbable there will be any other outcome. As the OP states, I am sure we would be after the best outcome possible were the boot on the other foot. However, much of the match was in conditions that eventually became unsafe and unplayable. You could argue that the sending off and the penalty were contributed to by those conditions. In normal conditions, how much difference would our bench options provide even being down to 10 men.
We got lucky with the abandonment but we have been the recipients of bad fortune in the past too and I am sure will be again at some point. |  |

I thought that, it is an example of having two authorities in charge of things. Ultimately, you would assume the FA's rules win out. | | | |

Can’t wait to go back up there and Greaves to score the winner.
Probably p!ss our fan base off more than theirs I reckon. |  |

Considering in the space of 5 minutes before the game got called off we had been hammering the Blackburn box with Sammy s almost getting a goal.
You can't gift 3 points when only 1 goal makes it a draw.
Considering you'd be looking at maybe 14/15 minutes of game remaining inc injury time then there still a fair possibility that we could have won the game let alone drawn it. Having 10 means doesn't mean anything as teams have drawn and won games with 10 men and statically town have one of the highest goals scored in fj sl 10 minutes of games over the course of the last few seasons ( ignoring prem obviously ) |  |

Should have been abandoned at HT so not sure how this is fair.
Cantwell has been posting on social media about how they should get the win.
No chance. We'll take the 15 mins including injury time with 10 men and throw everything at them.
imagine the line up...
I'd go something like
Palmer
Kipre
O'Shea
Baggott
Nunez
Cajuste
Clarke
Akpom
Philogene
Hirst
Azon |  |

That will be a whole other debate!!
For the Rotherham one the other year we did get an extra point for going tit be rearranged game and others got to keep it even if they returned their tickets. | |

Don't know how you could argue for a ten+ minute replay. Would mean loads of travel, costs etc for 10/15 mins of play, plus it completely negates the point of having a strong bench. Being able to bring on good, fresh players against Blackburn was a massive benefit for us - that'll be lost if they get to play with 11 fresh players for the final 10 mins. | | | |
| Blackburn put case to EFL on 15:53 - Sep 21 with 7118 views | Dennyx4 |
The key part I would be highlighting to stop the 10 minute game, is that we had just made three attacking subs and they were playing against tiring legs.
The EFL can see that we had made those subs, and the stats in the game show that it was still a fairly even contest. |  | | |
