Bonkers! Non league game abandoned after Wingate see red... FIVE times

 

A non-league match was abandoned due to red cards meaning one side did not have enough players to complete the game.

 

Wingate & Finchley had five players sent off in their Ryman Premier League tie with Thurrock meaning the game had to be called off, as teams are not allowed less than seven players on the pitch.

 

With Thurrock leading the hosts 1-0, Wingate saw the red card come out for a fifth time in the 85th minute to see the match called to a halt at the Harry Abrahams Stadium.

 

With the game goalless at half-time, Wingate defender Ahmet Rifat was shown red for retaliation soon after the break, claiming he had been punched.

 

The game turned on its head when Wingate's second yellow for Osa Obamwonyi for committing the foul that led to the penalty.

 

Thurrock’s ex-Tottenham youngster Stuart Thurgood converted from the spot to give his side the lead, and Wingate’s misery was compounded in the 72nd minute when Ronayne Marsh-Brown was dismissed.

 

Just four minutes later midfielder John Christian saw a second yellow to put Wingate down to seven men for kicking the ball away, an act many spectators thought was an effort to get the match abandoned, before the final blow was dealt five minutes from time.

 

The match was a crucial one in the fight against relegation from the Ryman Premier League, and an FA inquiry is now likely.

 

Thurrock secretary Mark Southgate said he doesn't think a replay is the answer.

 

He said: 'You have to feel sorry for the backroom people at Wingate who are really nice and they must have been embarrassed as their

players and the club management just seemed to lose it.

 

'No doubt there will be an FA investigation but I can't see us having to come back here to replay this.

 

The game was designated as a ‘Kick it Out’ game which saw the anti-racism group hand out promotional material, and all mothers were admitted free to celebrate Mothers’ Day.

 

Love one of the comments:

A lot of people didn't know about this rule until they had a very rough game on FIFA

 

That's how I learnt about the rule as a kid. :lol:

Gazprom have put forward the idea of a combined Russia/Ukrainian league and have said they'll pump $5bn in to it to ensure all clubs meet the FFP rulings.

Just a prelude to the two countries themselves re-joining... :shifty:

with the financial backing that the likes of CSKA, Zenit, Spartak, Ruban Kazan, Anzhi, Metalist, Dynamo Kiev, Shahktar and Dnipro have it could be a brilliantly competitive league to watch.

I thought that was the exact thing that FPP was supposed to stop.

Not really, FFP is supposed to stop clubs doing what Chelsea, City and PSG have done. This sounds more like what say Sky or Barclays are doing for the PL (albeit paying much more for a worse product). At least that's my understanding of it, I might be of course be talking complete bollocks.

It would be canny if it happened like, got the potential to be a very strong league.
