an idea.................worth a punt?

[Factamondo]

if it is coming down to say goal difference last day.........with our 'shocking red cards' this season...if we get four sent off and match is abandoned.....do we just lose it 3-0????

Love the idea Facto

Exactly what I was thinking when the **** where 4-0 up on Sunday, after all we have no problem at it, we're actually becoming experts with the help of the prem officials.
Could be our life saver.

if it's delibrate it's match fixing and the FA will make sure we get sent to the IPL...not the Ishmans...but that Indian 20/20 cricket league.

The FA have little need to find an excuse to relegate us beyond the Championship.
I'd rather we just adopted the Paul Hart style of management and play a team full of defenders

[80sCasual]

Why would it be looked at as match fixing, a side looking to survive in the prem lg obviously would be trying harder and putting extra into tackles which if they don't win the ref can see them dangerous and send them off. Remember the money that's in it (survival or relegation).
Would you say if we have already had 3 players sent off and city have a player thru on his own then either Paddy or the last defender brings him down (sending off offence) so as to not concede the goal which could relegate us to be match fixing?
I say no, it's just doing what you have to do.

Casual, you are aware that some people truly believe the FA are conspiring against us? No matter how genuine the reasons may be, and your scenario is a believable one, the theorists would have an absolute field day with this one

[80sCasual]

True, they'd probay make us play on even if we only had a couple of players left on the pitch knowing our luck.
