Warrington Excuses

Fatty - they haven't. They almost certainly would have lost the game by more than 2 goals and the fine is minimal.

In my opinion the right decision was made in relation to us ,however Warrington Town management must be having a little private chuckle - as they haven't really been punished at all for their skulduggery.

Not so sure that they'll be chuckling.

They will have been chuckling at the fact that they got a match abandoned and *thought* they had dodged certain defeat, and probably *thought* they would get to play again. They will have chuckled at how clever they thought they were to seize the opportunity, however...they wasted their time.

Don't get me wrong, they won't be devastated either, but I'm sure they won't be so smug right now.

All that matters is that we got what we deserved - the points.

Any possible replay would of had a poisonous atmosphere. It's good that it's not going to happen.

Can we see the goals now please?

You may. I'm on my way home so I'll do it when I get in.

A possibly slightly dangerous precedent has been set by not deducting points from Warrington or dishing out a harsher fine.

If a team has a couple of players sent off and is facing a potential hammering, what is to stop them coming up with a reason to abandon the match and therefore being awarded a 1 or 2 goal defeat, rather than a 5 or 6 goal defeat?

Doesn't that make it an automatic 3-0 in that scenario?
