Then why aren’t the league saying that and why hasn’t it been announced? They’ve already made a statement about being reviews by a panel. |  |

EFL statement has me a bit concerned on 19:11 - Sep 20 with 3506 views | TheBoyBlue | I understand the concern, but it would be a poor decision not to replay it, even taking off my blue tinted glasses. A game that close which could've gone either way. Maybe if they were 3-0 up, but 1-0 we still had 10 minutes plus injury time to draw or even win it. And for that matter there was still time for Blackburn to increase their goal difference. Also the match became unplayable several minutes earlier. Fingers crossed they see sense! |  |

I imagine every situation has to go to a panel regardless |  | |  |

I agree but it’s either the rule or it’s not. It doesn’t appear to be the hard and fast rule that it must be replayed like some are claiming. |  |

Why if it’s the rule? I must be missing something. |  |

Anything less than a replay would be outrageous and a total travesty, esp given our record for late comebacks via subs off the bench. I’n sure KM & MA would make that point. If the worst comes to the worst and today’s taken as a ‘result’, then it would at least probably have the result of galvanising our team spirit and togetherness. |  |

Both clubs have to submit a statement, their view and what they think should happen. Will take all of 20 mins to sort Monday. |  |

Minimum of 6 minutes I think but closer to 9-10 if they look at it properly and we had plenty of openings in their box. They also conceded two to Birmingham in injury time. The ten men thing concerns me a little. Can’t see us traveling for 15 or so minutes of football surely. Someone is going to be hard done by though. |  |

The rule seems to be that if it's called off at any point due to circumstances that neither team can do anything about them it is replayed. Hopefully they stick to the rules. If anything the only team that could've done anything about it then it is Blackburn by having a pitch that drains properly. It certainly isn't our fault, so we shouldn't be punished. Again, fingers crossed! |  |

Oh yes I’m sure a loss at Blackburn will really galvanise the team spirit. A 5-0 win last time out should have done that if any result will |  | |  |

We’d be pissed if it happened to us 1-0 up against 10 men with 79 played, let’s be honest. However, I can’t see any other outcome. [Post edited 20 Sep 19:21]

Ok so it’s clear not a “rule” then, otherwise that would all be a waste of time. |  |

Agree, unless they have something locked away about what to do in these circumstances. You would think that they will have to go with the precedent that has been set for weather abandonments. |  | |  |

Why are you missing my obvious point that the gross unfairness of being denied 11 minutes of play + at least another 5 of injury time in which to equalise if not win, would serve to unite and galvanise our players? |  |

Not with that’s scummer diving all over the place on a league 2 standard pitch. Just go and beat them properly, they’ll get over it, or not. |  |
