Here’s the argument: playing the last ten minutes at a later date is in practice very different from the last ten minutes of a match being completed as normal: the momentum, flow of the game, atmosphere, performance level, fatigue level, are all completely different and so in no real sense is it a meaningful conclusion to the actual game, it is a contrivance.Rich Tea Wellin wrote: ↑Tue Oct 24, 2023 8:44 am From an ‘integrity’ point of view I can’t see any argument as to why playing 90 mins so fairer than playing the renaming 10 but we are where we are
Wouldn't have had the opportunity, I'm certain the EFL would've used the same "sporting integrity" line and awarded the win to LincolnProposition Joe wrote: ↑Tue Oct 24, 2023 9:48 am
For all people are saying we would've just conceded the game if the roles were reversed, I very, very much doubt that and our fans would be very vocal in pointing out there was still potentially another 15 mins including stoppages for us to have changed the result. People seem to be pretending no-one scores late goals.

Apparently Chris Kamara is calling all the shots, so I reckon so.Story of O wrote: ↑Tue Oct 24, 2023 1:02 pmThe EFL hate us that much?gshaw wrote: ↑Tue Oct 24, 2023 12:47 pmWouldn't have had the opportunity, I'm certain the EFL would've used the same "sporting integrity" line and awarded the win to LincolnProposition Joe wrote: ↑Tue Oct 24, 2023 9:48 am

You think all those things aren’t things you listed aren’t comply different 6 weeks later regardless of how many minutes you play?CEB wrote: ↑Tue Oct 24, 2023 9:30 amHere’s the argument: playing the last ten minutes at a later date is in practice very different from the last ten minutes of a match being completed as normal: the momentum, flow of the game, atmosphere, performance level, fatigue level, are all completely different and so in no real sense is it a meaningful conclusion to the actual game, it is a contrivance.Rich Tea Wellin wrote: ↑Tue Oct 24, 2023 8:44 am From an ‘integrity’ point of view I can’t see any argument as to why playing 90 mins so fairer than playing the renaming 10 but we are where we are
Therefore, replaying the game in its entirety gives both teams the opportunity to fulfil a complete football match, played fully on one day.
The hyperfocus on a one goal advantage - and their desire to keep that advantage - is blinding people to the fact that after the match is abandoned, the conclusion of the match will not reflect how it would have concluded.
It’s just a game, and a replay is not unduly unfair on anyone.
God I would love it if we lose the replay 1-0, just so I can see everyone here lose their sh*t
