Oxford Utd v Ipswich Town - Bobby Madden
DIR By: ex-ref

This match was played in thick fog which worsened in the second
half.
Reports suggest that both managers were happy to abandon the
game and play again at a later but, when discussing this with Mr
Madden, it is said that he told the managers that as 75 minutes
were played the result would stand 1-1 as it was at the time.
I can't see this rule/law anywhere, could someone with greater
knowledge confirm or deny please?
Oxford Utd won 2-1

Efl rule 34.2 .
Doesn’t stipulate 75 minutes though , just states that the
result of an abandoned match can at the efl discretion be
allowed to stand .

Might that have been the rule of the Scottish Fa and he thought
it was the same here?

Never heard of the 75 minute rule up here or anywhere for that
matter. I suppose Bobby must have got it from somewhere buy only
he can enlighten us where, assuming the report is correct.

Or it could be that the reports are not 100% accurate? It has
been known for managers to occasionally be economical with the
actualite when it suits them.

It used to be 70 minutes in SCoR for grass roots level, that got
taken out a few years ago though. Don't think there has ever
been a time defined at senior levels.

Why would both managers, winning and losing, make up the story?
It seems clear that Bobby Madden simply got it wrong. He also
got it wrong by continuing with the game when most of the paying
customers could see little of what was going on.

This sounds like something that might need to be looked into
further. If incorrect information played a part in the managers
wishing to carry on then that would be of concern, and indeed it
doesn't seem like the sort of thing that a referee should really
take into account in any case - either it's appropriate to
continue playing the match or it's not.

Just do your job and let others worry about what happens next.
If its too foggy, come off
As Nemesis says they should take into account the paying public
too

Apparently the referees’ body, the PGMOL, has now investigated
the matter and found that Madden did nothing wrong and that
neither he nor any member of his team of officials made the
75-minute claim to the managers.
So either both managers are lying or the referee is lying. Well
I know who I believe, although a heavy Scottish accent can be
difficult at times.
The referees investigating themselves reminds me of what's
happening in Government these days, as has the outcome.
I suppose if they had admitted it, they'd have a problem.
