I just heard of a very odd case. A friend of mine via BUSINESS plays in a semi pro league in the Netherlands. His team are winning 2-1 away at a very rough team and neighbourhood, an opposition player was sent off just before half time for kicking one of their players in the head, sent off for violent conduct a scrap folowed with punches thrown but without further action, the half time whistle went and the opposition 2-1 down and down to 10 men refused to come out for the second half saying one of their players had been racially abused. No evidence of this other than what had been claimed ref said he didn’t hear anything.
the match was abandoned and the Dutch FA ordered his team to replay the fixture the following Tuesday to which they refused citing all the reasons above violent conduct from the opposition plus their refusal to complete the initial game etc, they have been given a final chance to fulfil the fixture or face expulsion for the rest of the season and automatic relegation.
thoughts?
