Hasn't been abandoned yet, I don't think. Akinfeev hit by a flare, crowd are still there getting wound up by the PA announcer.

Players are back on the pitch, be a bit of an atmosphere now.

Dozen Wicked Words

Shouldn't have been restarted, match should have been awarded to Russia.

He'd have swallowed the flare like the Hulk. :P

Bit of a difference between a player being hit by a flare and a pansy referee stopping the game because of a bit of hail. Walters was right.....it was ridiculous.

oh he just annoys me so much, I hated when he said that footballers spitting at each other was the lowest of the low.

I would love to see him forced to go talk to some Ugandan girl who had just been gang raped by a militial gang and tell her that what happened to her was not as bad as a footballer spitting at another one, he makes my blood boil.

Way to take something out of context.

It was blatantly obvious he was talking about on the football pitch :rolleyes:

I don't get it? If we give everyone the benefit of context then how can we blindly hate caricatures of people that annoy us?

Didn't seem to be any crowd trouble, Montenegran goalie saved a contentious pen, there was a bit of dissent beforehand that carried on after, few players and subs got involved, ref just said that's it. Probably had stipulated that if there was any trouble of any kind he was calling it off.

It looked to me that after the penalty was saved and ball cleared for a throw. The Russian player over the throw was struck by an object. You can see him hand the object over to the ref who immediately calls the game off. My guess is it was a knife?

It will be, in general the game will be given 24 hours to be replayed. I know 365 have already paid out on it but some bookies will hold on to your money until the 24 hour period has passed. Coral are still holding bets for example.

Disgusting stuff. As always, an idiotic minority ruins it for everyone else. Game should've been abandoned after Akinfeev went off to be honest.
