9 players : Thu May 10, 2018 9:43 pm  

Has anyone ever been to a game where one team has ended up with 9 players? I've been watching since 1978 and can't ever remember it happening before although I know bradford had a few sent off when jeff grayshon walked them off the pitch at rovers that time

At what point does a game get abandoned, is it when a team is down to 8 or 9 players? Could it explain why the ref took the decision not to send Griffin off for punching?

or because hock had loved him twice before he did

I don't know but when Andy writes to the RFL to complain I'm sure we'll find out.

Football season over for City so there should be no obstacle to a Wednesday night replay at KC.

I believe 5 is the minimum

I'm not sure we could beat Rovers with 5 men so I hope our discipline and luck are better next week.

It is actually 4 - three to set a scrum and one to feed it

it's 5, it says so in the laws of the game.

...and one in the back line. So 5.
