Chesterfield v Droylsden

[jonahjones]

Don't know whether anyone has seen and/or heard about what happened in this FA Cup game on Tuesday, but just look out for Chesterfield's second goal which almost causes a riot!

Bear in mind that there was already a bit of needle in the tie given that the original game was abandoned owing to fog with the non-league side a goal up, causing their manager to level all kinds of conspiracy-theory type accusations towards the referee. :)

Oh, seeing as it is ITV, you have to endure the obligatory advert first. :(

You couldn't make it up! The replay has been abandoned with Chesterfield 2-0 up owing to "floodlight failure"! :yikes:

The Chesterfield manager has come out today and in not so many words accused someone of deliberately turning off the floodlights! :ooo

Wasn't there a chinese mafia gambling coup that used that tactic back in the nineties? I think it was when they first allowed betting on anything other than the premiership. It wasn't too difficult to spot - 3 games in a matter of weeks were abandoned because of floodlight failure and had been the subject of bets upwards of half a million quid on the correct score markets!! :ermmm

This just gets better and better!

Droylsden eventually pull-off a shock after four games and then this! :yikes:
