Dons' Cup result to stand ! : Wed Mar 11, 2009 2:59 pm  

They cannot be serious !

16-12 with 19 minutes remaining and they say the result will stand.

How very convenient for them.

It makes a mockery of the competition that Hull made a mockery of by playing ineligible players last season.

And they wonder why interest in the Challenge Cup is waning !!

I wonder why you've included that?

Back on topic, seems a fair decision to me. Would you recommend playing it again with the potential for trouble from Queens? Get them together for 19 minutes and see what happens? Queens caused the trouble, they lose out.

Play it behind closed doors if they must. Simple.

And I mentioned Hull because they ruined last year's competition in my eyes and those of many others. A joke that they appeared at Wembley.

seems reasonable to me....to let the result stand.

Let's see - Queens' "fans" start fighting with their team narrowly losing and the authorities decide to let the result stand. All seems fair enough to me. I take it from your user name that you suppport Queens?

Please explain why Donny shouldn't go through. I'm a Hull supporter and believe we should have been kicked out last year, so i think the RFL have got this right.

More than 60 minutes had been played, so why shouldnt the result stand?

The game could have been abandoned for another reason (Snow, Fog, Pack of Dogs on the pitch ect) and the same outcome would have been decided.

Pretty sure 62 minutes has to be played to let the result stand.
