Tricky one. Seems hugely unfair to Buxton. Yes there was a faint chance there could have been an equalizer but the decision is heavily in favour of Scunny. Why not play the remainder of injury time?

 

[NornIronSeasider]

Sounds ridiculous on the surface but pretty sure they don’t want to set a precedent

 

[HighfieldSeasider]

I'm sure the rule used to be if a game was abandoned after around 75 minutes the result stood

If you're Buxton you're quite rightly fuming.

 

[Curryman]

If the game has to be replayed, It suggests the first game didn't take place and there was no score.

Why, therefore, does the red card still stand?

What a load of crap, once again, from the, so called, guardians of the game.

Was talking to a Scunny fan about this. Pitch was covered in hailstones but 10 mins later they'd all melted. Couldn't understand why it was instantly abandoned rather than go off for a short while then resume.

Scunthorpe missed a late penalty because of the conditions apparently.

Edit - seen a video and it just looks like a shīt penalty to me!

Ball wasn't moving on the saturated pitch,don't know Glanford Parks drainage but couldn't they of waited half an hour if the downpour had stopped?.

If a game enters the second half, the result should stand.

seems very unfair. Think i read that Scunny fans were throwing things at buxton keeper which also added to the extra time added on.

Sounds ridiculous on the surface ...

That's as maybe, but the hailstones had nowhere else to land!

That's what I've always thought. This 96 minutes stuff is a nonsense.

Goes to show how far Scunny have fallen There but for the grace …

There but for the grace of a former Red Army sniper turned banking money launderer. It's a funny old world Saint.

Bizarre going’s on there at the moment. Peter Swann who defended the Oystons which is a massive red flag in itself sold the club in January but is now taking legal action to repossess Glanford Park.

 

[Sadler's Brylcreem]

Probably more annoying to the teams at the top as Scunny are second and that would have halted their progress.
Can't believe they're in NL North below KFC!
