Someone should let Custard know so that he can explain this stuff to us simple folk.

This is like that thread on that bodybuilding forum about how many days there are in a week.

Yep you're both correct it is 44 games as you say, it had been a long day. However everybody else will play 44 games also so 3 games in hand is still 3 games in hand.

But as one of those games will be a void for everyone in the league, it is only that we were supposed to play Bury early that makes it "in hand" on all other teams. By the turn-around all other teams will have caught up on that one game so the game can't be viewed as a three, one or zero pointer.

Games in hand never can be viewed in terms of points but a game in hand is a game in hand. The fact that some other teams will have a week off when we don't is irrelevant.

Indeed. My fancy Halliwell upbringing taught me that 44 minus 12 is greater than 44 minus 15. I believe that everyone should benefit from the standards of education available in Halliwell and Astley Bridge from the mid eighties to the late nineties.

That’s so Victorian, I’ve drilled a hole in the toe of all my right shoes - hasn’t let me down yet.

..and before anyone tries to be clever I’ve also drilled a hole in my right toenail for when I have no shoes on.

Isn’t one of our games in hand the cancelled Doncaster game that’s likely to be awarded to them? 

I can’t see them allowing us to replay it now we are in much better shape 

When on earth will we find out the points deduction for that?

A 3 point deduction would ensure that we don't gain from the postponement. Handing Doncaster the points is inappropriate. Brentford did not set a precedent for this as that was end of season and, fortuitously, had no impact on their league position.

Probably at the point we get into positive points.

I have a memory like a sieve, but was it just injuries (and the fact that we were playing kids twice a week) that caused us to cancel the game?

Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but the administrators must have known we’d end up with a points deduction if we refused to play. Losing 10-0 wouldn’t have been good for confidence, but it would have been better in the long run.

Why it was missed is broadly irrelevant now I guess 

Question is, what’s happening with that game? 

If it was to be replayed then why has that not been arranged already, at least a date in the fixtures calendar. If it does get replayed and we win, its not going to go down well with Donny, they could have had a nice easy 5-0. I can’t see the EFL not giving it to Donny all things considered

Are we giving a 5-0 win to Coventry too? Donny will get fuck all unless they beat/draw with us. It’s us who will get points deducted

[Krimzon]

Wasnt there some FA directive about protecting under 18 players from being "worked too hard" or something ? I think we have a fair case for calling the game off.

However because of the Blackburn vs middlesboro game eons ago precedence, when boro called a game off at the 11th hour cos of measles or something and were deducted points that led to relegation , where as playing the game with the under 11's and losing 20-0 would have kept them up , are we all panicking unduly ? (feel free to correct me Malc)

Think they'll hang on with rearranging Donny (and Burton) until we know about the FA Cup weekends - if we're both knocked out then it makes sense to rearrange one of them to take place on a Saturday.
